STRIKE
ENDED
Convention Accepts the 65-cent
Compromise.

Anti-SettIement Delegates Were FL

WILL RESUME WORK AT ONCE

COLUMBUS, o., Sept. '13.-The great
miners strike which was declared ON
July 4, was brought to an end Saturday
evening, SO far, at least, as western
Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indian and West
Virginia are concerned, by the action of
the interstate convention of miners,
which had been in session here since
Wednesday.
After day of voting and wrangling,
the convention adopted a resolution ao-
cepting the proposition of the Pittsburg
operators. The vote was 400 for and
3l7 against accepting the terms of set
Element. Eleven votes were not cast.
The delegates from Illinois, who had
200 votes, were unanimously against q
settlement. Indiana and West Virginia
voted solidly to accept the operators
votes among the Ohio and Pittsburg
delegates against it. The resolution
adopted is as follows:
RESOLVED, That we, the miners of
PENNSYLVANIA, West Virginia, Ohio, Indi-
ana and Illinois, in convention assembled,
do hereby agree to accept the proposition
recommended by our nativnal exc utive
committee, viz, Go cents in the PittsLurg
district, all places in above-named states
where relative price can be obtained to
resume work and contribute literally to
the miners who do not receive the adj
vance, where the fight must be continued
to bitter finish.
RESOLVED, That the national officers,
executive board and district presidents
act as an advisory board for the purpose
of providing ways and means for the car
rying on of the strike where necessary,
provided, however, that no district resume
work for 10 days for the purpose Of giving
miners i'm other districts time TO confer
with their operators and get the price If
possible.
While 10 days is provided for the
miners to resume work, it is probable
many of the Ohio and Pittsburg mines
will be reopened at once.
The convention adopted resolutions
endorsing the action of the national
executive board in recommending set
Element ON the terms proposed.
The Illinois miners will be called in
convention at Springfield, Sept. 10, to
determine what shall be done in that
state Some of the Illinois delegates are
very bitter in their denunciation of the
action of the convention, since they
claim their interests have not been
given due consideration.
A resolution was adopted denOuncing
the action of the deputies in firing into
the crowd of striking miners at Halle
ton, Pa.
