Chattanooga, Tenn, July 7.-Striking
miners in the districts in northern, east
Tennessee and southern Kentucky may
thwart the scheme of the operators co
sell out to an English syndicate. In.

region today that the miners are charg-

the strike was made TO deceive the Eng
Ishmen into believing that the scale was
lower than it is elsewhere, thus making
mining cheaper than in other sections.
The miners declare that they will expose
the scheme to the representative of the
English syndicate, and claim they can
prevent the sale.
