As soon as he arrives a joint meeting of
the district boards will be held, and the

listing grievances.
The three members Of the mine workers
allowed on a board Of Cancellation will be
recommended by the district boards, and
the active formation of the board will be
hurried. as some of the disputes are OF
such a nature that the boards intervention
will be required to settle them
Besides the grievances Of the company
hands and the driver boys, which have al

have occurred the miners have number

can to hold the agitated mine workers in
check until the board is appointed and
President Mitchell arrives. and they are do
ing what they can to discourage the strikes
