That Price to Rule Until the End of This
Year and Next Years Prices To BE
Fixed by Conference Between Miners
and Operators.
Columbus, O.. Sept. 4.-The following
circular was issued last night by the
national executive board. 1t Is ad-
dressed to the mine workers who have
suspended work in the different states'
"You are hereby notified that conven-
ton will be held at Columbus. o.. at III
O'Clock a. m. on Wednesday, Sept. D.
1897. At a conference held at Columbus,
o.. on Sept. and 3, between the ma
tional executive board and district pres
idents of the United Mine Workers OF
America and a representative commit
tee of the Pittsburg district operators
whom we consented to meet only after
1t became apparent that a national con-
ference of operators and miners could
not be convened, the following PROPOSE
lions were submitted by the representa-
tives of the Pittsburg operators to the
executive board and district presidents,
as the basis of settlement to terminate
the present strike:
"First-The resumption of work at a
64-cent rate of mining. The submitting
of the question to board Of arbitration
to determine what the price shall be,
the maximum to be SO cents and the
minimum to be go cents ton the price
to be effective from date of resuming
work.
"Second-A straight price of 65 cents
a ton to continue in force until the end
of the year with the additional mutual
understanding that joint meeting OF
operators and miners shall be held H.
December, 1897, for the purpose Of de-
termining what the rate of mining shall
be thereafter.
Board Urges Aoquiescence.
"Your executive board and district
presidents, after much elaboration and
thorough consideration of the two
propositions, do recommend the latter
as in their judgment the best that can
be secured, because of circumstances
that are apparent to all who study
market conditions since the Inaugural
ton of the strike.
"You, however, are the court of fina
adjudication, and must decide for your.
selves what your action shall be and
when work shall be resumed. Add.
| tional reasons will be given and a full
report made Of the general situation al
| the convention. We would further ad
| wise that delegates come untrammelet
by resolutions, and uninstructed Other
| than to act in your last interests. A
| this time 1t Is deemed advisable for the
reason that provisions are made in thu
uniformity agreement now pending II
the Pittsburg district, and which Il Il
| expected will be operative in that dis
trict on and after Jan. 1, 1898, to arbi
trate the question of relative differentia
between pick and machine mining
which will, we anticipate, do much to
wards furnishing us with more reliable
data on that question than we posses
| at present, and to that extent will b
beneficial to us in settling questions o
between machine and pick mining.
This Is signed by the members of tn
national executive board and distric
| presidents.

The first running race in heats of the
meeting was the third event on the
program, three-eighths of a mile dash

starting the first heat, but when. they
were sent away the start was as nearly
perfect as it ever is in running races.
CLANCY T. took the lead, but so close
upon him were Bourbos1, Lady Kern and

was taken for granted that Palermo was
the only horse with any chance of VIM

favorite. The players of long odds di-

and Nordeau came in for quite a share
of the betting. The fact that she was
played was considered by the book
makers as finding just the amounts bet
on her, but the result proved the truth

Track Notes

Tomorrow will be ladies' day at the
track. All ladies will be admitted to
the grounds free, and will also be given
free entrance to that portion of the
grand stand that is not reserved. 1t is
expected that there will be very large
attendance. Those who desire reserved
seats can secure them in advance. A
feature of the day will be parade of all
the fast horses now quartered at the
track. This will take place Immediately
after the trotting races, of which there
will. be two.
The award of premiums on fine live
stock now on exhibition at the park will
be announced this morning. At II
o'clock there will be a parade of this
stock following the decoration of the
prize winners, with the ribbons indicat-
ing their class.
The features of today's program prom
ise to be the contest between Peko and
Carlyle Carne in the 2:15 trot, the second
race. These horses have furnished a
contest wherever they have met, and
both are said to be in the best condition
possible. In the fifth race Grady and
Ostler Joe will meet again, and it is prob
able that the bookmakers will give the
public the long end of the betting on this
event.
Searchlight will go on an exhibition
mile and an eighth Saturday afternoon.
An effort will be made in the mile to
lower the three-year-old's record Of
:09B, and the extra eighth is added to
prevent the horses receiving a lower
classification in the event that he sue
|ceeds in the attempt. The eighth will,
therefore, be paced in jog, and the mile
made in as fast time as possible.
Driver Hogaboom, who was ordered
from the grounds by Starter Ferguson
Tuesday, apologized to that official yes
terday for the language he had used to-
ward him in the presence of a grand
stand full Of people. He said he acted
in the heat of passion, and regretted the
occurrence. Nothing has been done by
the judges with reference to the charges
preferred against the driver, but If they
will permit it Mr.. Ferguson is willing to
let the matter drop.
