The coal miners Of Illinois will vote

now are such that some reduction
must be made. for time at least.
Since the representative men Of the
miners union have recommended that
reduction be accepted, it may be as
suned that they were convinced Of
the justice Of the operators demand,
ma refusal by the miners to accept
the Recommendation of their leaders
would amount to the reputation Of
an agreement reached by arbitration
in the regular way. and would affect
the miners union injuriously as a
party In view Of this
fact, and, above all, of the serious
OF rejection Of the
proposals. It is to be hoped that the
miners will vote afflmatiyely on Tues
day.
