and other cities for girls of pretty

The Shuberts will insert advertise

Miners OF THE, MASS|L[ON !
FIELDS RESOLVED TO STRIKE
No Prospect Of Settlement, as Oper-
ators' Committee Has Broken
or all Conferences.
DSPUTINc over VEIN STANDARD.

The announcement, this morning,
that sthere would beta strike among
the miners in Massillon April l.,
causes little concern among the
men. They are there, hundreds OF
theln,s to discuss the question. Now
thatsths opeyators have returned 20
their homes, the officials OF their or
ganzation are more than ever cen
vinced that their difficulties can neve!
be settled without a strike.
There were many points left uncon"
sidered by tho conference committee.
which would have precipltated more
trouble If they had been brought up
The miners are still in Massillon
and In the saloons and other public
places nothing is heard but talk of a
strike.
= So far as is known at present, there
{ The refusal to come to terms over the
vein question completely broke off all
{ negotiations.
The two main points at issue only
were considered. The first of these.
providing for the wage increase, was
granted by the operators with only
a short conference. Then. considera-
ton Of the other point was taken up.
The miners demand four-foot vein
as standard. and the operators are
unwilling to grant this demand. Over
the one point all the dispute lies.
is no prospect Of a settlement.
National Vice President L>wis, of
the miners, organization. who has been
atteniing the meetings of the joint
conference OF the miners and opera
tors of the Massillon district, left
Thursday afternoon for Wheeling. w.
Va, to attend meeting of coal opera
tors and miners in subdistrict No. 5.
Regarding the conditions in West
Virginia Mr.. Lewis said: "Considera-
BILE excitement prevails among the coal
operators concerning the policy which
will be, followed by the United Mine
Workers in reference to West Virgin
ia during the coming year. The gem
cral impression seems to be that the
mine workers are going to inauguratc
general strike movement. The op-
orators of that state will be made to
aealize before the end of the year that
the miners are going to continue an ac-
tive campaign until that state is thor
oughly organized, and IL that neces-
states strike. there will he strike"
