COAL OPERATORS
=. VIOLATE AGREEMENT.
Makes Three wage Cuts in very
Short Time

Indianapolis, JAM 1.-The third cut of
10 per cent a ton In the wages of the
members Of the United Mine Workers of
America, during the last two weeks, has
been made. It is believed that these
cuts were the result of some precon-
cocted movement on the part of the
coal operators, as sall three cuts, the
miners off1cers say. were made in vio-
iation of agreements with the miners.
The joint conference. between the miners
and the operators tsto be held the latter
part Of next month"; It is thought that
these cuts are in the nature of opening
guns by the operators. The first cut Of
10 per cent a tong was made IN West
Virginia and resulted in several hun
dred miners quitting work last week.
The second cut ofn per cent was made
in the Myersdale XRa.) district and re-
suited in the anbauncement that be-
tween 5000 and 10000 men would strike
and the third announcement Of a 10 per
cent cut in North Dakota was received
recently at headqparters' of the Mine
