Miners Voting
On Wages

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, March 15.--
Whether the great strike threatened
in the soft coal fields is to become o
reality is being decided today by the
referendum vote being taken by the
miners local unions throughout the
states involved in the dispute. The
vote Of the locals will be counted
Thursday at the national headquar-
tiers here, where the returns are now
anxiously awaited. AT the first con-
ference last week the operators offered
the miners q per cent reduction as
a compromise and 1t is this PROPOSE
tion that is being voted on. II It Is
rejected general strike will be pre-
cipitated April 1, when the present
scale agreement expires. President
Mitchell has strongly urged the min
ers to accept the compromise in or
der to avoid a strike that would mean
incalculable loss to the unions. Views
expressed by the national officers to-
day Indicate that hope exists among
them that the miners will accept the
compromise. The sentiment in the
east Is believed to be distinctly fav-
orabIe, but doubt is expressed as to
what action will be taken by the west
ern miners. The miners involved
number nearly 100000 and include all
those OF Indiana, Illinois. Ohio. West

he raised his hand against his own

a serious injury 10 his eyes, from re-

injury. The condition OF the optic

men. When No. arrived, Ia his usual
kindly manner he volunteered his
services in unloading express and bag
gage.
When his work was completed FOR
