Region Liable to Stop Work-Op-
orators Refuse to Recognize Their
Representatives.

dark strike cloud doomed up on the hori-
zon of the anthracite coal region today.
The executive boards Of the United
Mine Workers, which was in session
here today, endorsed the selection Of
their three district presidents on the
board of cO~nciliatiOn, authorized by the
strike commission and if these members
are not recognized by the operators the
executive boards will contemplate call
ing q convention of the mine worke
to declare a genera suspension. The
district presidents as a result OF today's

tonight on the dispute:
AT a joint meeting of the executive
boards of the anthracite coal region
which met here today three members
were selected TO represent the mine
workers of zach district on the concilia-
ton board. reported that the represen-
tatives OF the operators refused to rec
| ognize them or the mine workers ere
dentials, or accept them as embers OF
the Cancellation board. They reported
that the operators objected on the
ground that the line workers represent
tatives We're appointed by their organi-
cation as it exists in each district. The
district boards are still Of the opinion
that they appointed their representa-
tives as provided for by the selection Of
the award and voted unanimously to
reaffirIn their former action.
Two questions We're under consldera-
ton by the meeting tOday-one is to
make application to the national pres
ident of the mine workers to issue an
order for a general suspension of work
throughout the whole anthracite region
TO continue until the operators agree to
adjust the existing grievances and live
up to the award of the anthracite coal
strike commissions: the second is hat
a delegate convention be called to con-
slider the ACCESSIBILITY Of taking the
above action"
Another meeting will be held tomor-
row to decide IS to whether a suSpen-
sion of work will be ordered.
District Presidents Nichols, Detrey,
and FAIRY intimate tonight that the eX-
ecutive board of the mine workers will
stand by their decision and will insist
