The operators and miners Of South
west Kentucky reached an agreement

journ without an agreement, but
both the owners and miners realized

The scale agreed on yesterday is
practically the same as during the
past year, there icing a few minor
changes, about the only one being in
regard to the extra price for extra
work done.
The operators and miners first met
in Owensboro early in March, but no
agreement could be reached. The
miners demanded an increase of 2 t-3
per cent. The operators refused TO
accede to their demands, and offered
tho present scale Of wages, stating that
it was all they could afford TO give.
The miners refused point blank TO &C.
oept the proposition Of the operators,
and stated positively that If their de-
mands were not complied with a strike
would be ordered throughout the dis
trict, involving about 1900 men
Another attempt was made to reach
an agreement the first of April, but as
at first il was unsuccessful.
This district is composed OF p
mines, located in the counties o
Ohio. Muhlenberg, Butler, Davies
Mclean and Union. and none hui
union miners are employed.
The prominent labor leaders in at
tendance were National Secretar,
Wilson, Ct indianapolis; George Pur

ma tional board.
Mr.. 7. J. Flournoy, Of the city
was chairman Of the meeting. Thest
conferences are held every year, ant
the one next April will be held in
Paducah. which will bring many
miners here.
