MORE AGGRESSIVE FIGHT.


Officers OF District IL. which includes
West Virginia. of the United Mine Work
ers. were in the city yesterday and held
conference with John Mitchell and other
national officers of the union. The confer
ence was held in Mr.. Mitchell's Office at II
o'clack and did not close until $3.50. The
men were brought together by an invitation
to take more action in regard TO the trou-
bles that exist in some parts of the min
ing district of West Virginia, especially In
the New River district The miners have
been on strike there for about year.
Originally over two thousand men were
affected by the strike, but within the last
month or two about six thousand. Now
not more than two thousand men are idle
The strike grew out of the refusal OF the
mine owners TO recognize the demands OF
the men for higher wages and shorter
hours or to consent to the formation OF
unions. There is alo great deal of trouble
over the treatment which the miners are
said 10 receive at the hands of their en-
ployers. 1t is even alleged that many
Italians are almost held in slavery in the
mines. 1t has been almost impossible TO
strike at this, the officials say, because of
the protection which the mine presidents
1t was decided at the conference yes

owners shall be continued and made more
aggressive. The officers present were:

STONE CUTTERS DEMAND
j. HI. BILLINGSLEY SAYS 1T WILL NOT
BE ACCEPTED.
Strike Threatened in Two Weeks by
Are Made by Contractors.

A committee from the local stonecutters'
union yesterday waited upon James H. Bill
Kingsley, of the firm of j. H. Birlingsley &
Co., cut stone contractors, and G. Itten-
bach & Co., and submitted to them an or
der that had been issued by the National
Association of Stonecutters to the effect
that the work of dressing building stone
must hereafter be done by union stonecut-
tiers or general strike would be ordered.
This order means much to the two Indian
apolis firms and also tc the Bedford stone
quarries. Those interested were given ten
days in which to answer the committee. Mr..
Billingsley when seen last evening made
the following statement in explaining the
situation:
1.-The stonecutters are trying to secure
control of the stonecutting work in all big
concerns. They believe the business of
stonecutting Is slipping away from them
and they now threaten us with a general
strike unless they secure control of the
work on an eight-hourS -a-day basis. All
dressed stone work is now done by ma
chinery, and the planners in our mills and
also In other concerns in Indianapolis that
are interested are willing to form a union
and become an auxiliary to the stonecut-
ters' union, but the stonecutters demand
that they secure control of the work. Such
thing is almost impossible for several
reasons and should be unable to settle
the matter satisfactorily and a general
strike should be ordered II would mean
the Bedford stone quarries would have TO
shut down.
Under the present conditions we are
forced to compete with the terra co.,a I.av-
tories with very small profit in the work
for us. If we should accede to the de-
mands or the stone cutters, 1t would mean
that our output would be greatly decreased
and the expenses would be much heavier.
The planners now employed by us receive
good pay and are perfectly satisfied, but
the stone cutters desire to secure control of
the work and abolish the machines that
now do the work on fine dressed stone.
Such demand as the stone cutters make
is unreasonable. The Bedford quarries
would be forced to close, as they could never
fill their orders by placing hand-dressed
stone on the market, as ii would require too
much time and the expense would be so
great they would make no profit 1t would
prevent such firms as ours from bidding on
work, and we would have to stop using
Bedford stone or any other good building
stone.
I'VE hope to have the matter adjusted in
a few days. but we will never accede to the
demands that have been made upon u.s."

markabIe Series of Gospel Meet
ings on the south Side.

One of the most enthusiastic gospel re-
vivals that has stirred the South Side of

is an evangelist of wide recognition, having
held religious meetings in all parts OF the
United States. among fourteen different de-
nominations, has established for himself a
reputation in indianapolis.
The closing meeting last night was an i'm
pressive one. Before the sermon. the pas
tors OF the different congregations that have
engaged in the work made short speeches
of appreciation. and especially did they
thank Mr.. Lyon for his earnest work. Mr..
Lyon began by saying that he would not
preach a sermon. but ne did. nevertheless

said that he wanted to leave in the mind
of every one the words OF Jesus. spoken In

that had accepted Jesus Christ were on the
right side. He said that when a person is
invited to become citizen OF God, IL is the
greatest event in his life.
