THE COAL MINERS
 WILL NOT STRIKE
An AmicabIe Arrangement With
 Operators in Illinois.
WILL FIGHT. THE RAILROADS
The Mine Owners Have Agreed Not to Sell Any More Goal to the Railroads Concerned in
 the Trouble

St. Louis Mo- November 24.-There will be no general strike of coal miners in the Illinois coal fields. The result was reached at d conference held here today between the national and state organizations of the United Mine Workers of North America and the mine operators of Illinois, who have been selling coal in the Missouri, Kan sas and Texas districts, where union min CTS are on strike.
 John J. Mitchell, of Indianapolis, na- tional president of the United Mine Work CTS of North America, conducted the nego- tiations for the miners, while nearly all of the prominent mine operators in Illi- nois were on hand to look after their side of the controversy.
 President Mitchell made 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 live up to their side of the agreement
 "our object" he said, "is to tie up the Missouri, Kansas and Texas, Missouri, Kansas and Eastern, St. Louis and Iron Mountain, Santa Fe, Missouri Pacific and St. Louis and San Francisco railroads which own or control the coal companies involved in the present strike. If 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 com- promise by allowing the operators to fill their present contracts in the affected ter ritory, but the miners refused to agree 10 anything less than their original demands.
 The operators finally agreed to sell no more coal for shipment out of the a1ecteo .An,rti itar1
