On Monday the mine operators and
mine workers of this district will have
conference for the purpose of COM
ing to some agreement regarding the
new scale which was to have gone into
effect Friday in all parts of the coun-
try as agreed upon by the recent ma
tiOnal conference held at Chicago.
Nearly all the mines of the district
have either closed down or partially
so until the matter is settled. The
miners district board and two men
from each mine will meet the opera
tors at Trades Assembly Hall Monday
afternoon. The miners of Wheeling
district have been trying hard for some
time to get the same sized screens used
in Ohio adopted here, and will make
another effort in this direction at the
conference to be held Monday. The
Chic miners are paid 62 cents ton
and "a inch screen. One of the mem
bers of the district board stated last
night that the operators wanted the
same screens as used in Pennsylvania
adopted here. He said that the min
ers would not use the Pennsylvania
screens unless they would get the
Pennsylvania scale, which is II cents
a ton. The screen is liz inches. The
operators want the Pennsylvania
screen and the Ohio scale, but the min
ers say they will insist upon the screen
and scale, both as in use in either of
those States. Pending the settlement
of the question some of the miners
went to work again yesterday at the
new scale.
The board will also consider the Ben
wood reduction, but the outcome will
very likely be that the miners, who
are organized. will be instructed to go
to work for less than the union scale,
and that the Wheeling Iron and Steel
Company will close the bank alto
gether In anticipation of this some
of the Benwood miners have left to Sc
cure employment elsewhere. A mem
Der of the district board stated that
the miners Of the district were better
organized than they were some months
ago. and that he was hopeful that the
