Hon of the anthracite coal region to-day.
The executive boards Of the United Mine

the selection of their three district pres
ldents on the Board of Cancellation, au-
thorized by the Strike Commission, and

day the members selected to represent the

solldation board reported that the repre-
sontatlves of the operators refused to rec
ognize them or the mine workers cre-
dentials, or accept them as members of
the consolidation board They reported
that the operators objected on the ground
that the mine workers representatives
were appointed by the organization as It
exists In each district. The district
boards are still Of the opinion that they
appointed their representatives as pro-
vided for by the section of the award. and
hold unanimously to realtirm their for
mer action.
1.-TWO questions We're under considera-
t!on by the meeting to-day-one Is to
make application to the national presl-
dent of the mine workers to issue an or
der for a general suspension of work
throughout the whole anthracite region,
to continue until the operators agree to
adjust existing grievances and live up to
tho award of the Anthracite Coal Strike
Commission; the second Is that delegate

Visibility of taking the above action
