SETTLE MINERS DIFFICULTY
Illinois Operators Agree Not to Sell
Coal to Go Into the Strikers
Territory.

ST. LOUIS, Nov. 24.-There will be no
general strike of coal miners in the IL
linois field. This result was reached at a
conference held here today between the ma
tional and state organizations of the United
Mine Workers of North America and the
mine operators of Illinois. who have been
ceiling coal in the Missouri, Kansas and Ar
kansas districts, where union miners are on
strike.
John ]. Mitchell of Indianapolis, national
president of the United Mine Workers of
North America, conducted the negotiations
for the miners, while nearly all Of the promi-
nent mine operators in Illinois were on
hand to look after their side of the con-
troversy.
President Mitchell made a strong speech,
in which he said that the relations between
the miners and operators in Illinois were
very pleasant just now. The miners were
living up to their agreement and all they
asked was that the operators should also
live up to their side of the agreement He
warned the operators that unless they
stopped shipping coal to the southwest,
where union miners are on a strike, 1t would
be necessary to call out every union miner
in Illinois and tie up the mines
"Our object" he said, sis to tie up the
Missouri, Kansas & Texas, Missouri, Kan
| sas g. Eastern, st. Louis & Iron Mountain,
Santa Fe. Missouri Pacific and st. Louis &
San Francisco railroads, which own or con-
troll the coal companies involved In the
present strike. II we can stop them from
buying Illinois coal. they will be forced to
accede to our demands and adopt the union
scale OF wages"
Several efforts were made to effect a
compromise by allowing the operators to
fill their present contracts in the affected
territory, but the miners refused to agree
to anything less than their original demands.
The operators finally agreed to sell no more
coal for shipment to the affected territory.

Mr.. J. w Harris, as an applicant,
