A strike of 800 hosting engineers in
$40 coal mines in Illinois is scheduled
to go into effect at u O'Clock tonight.
The walkout Will affect about 10000
other worlmen. and is expected 10 re-
suit in cessation Of operations for
short time at least. Refusal OF the
engineers to accept a reduction in
wages or TO arbitrate the proposition
is the cause Of the pending struggle.
National President Mack Taylor, OF
the Engineers union. has issued an
order 70 every union in the state di-
recting a walkout Of all men employed
on night shifts at midnight and pro
1libiting the day shifts from returning
TO work Tuesday morning.
Big Majority for Strike.
In a statement made at Danville
yesterday. President Taylor said:
"Out Of about 500 hosting engin-
GERS in this state only about forty vot-
ed to consider the proposition made by
the operators. | have sent out an or
der to every union in the state 70 call
out it's men who are on the night shift
at u O'Clock Monday night and not
allow the day shift to 90 TO work
Tuesday morning unless | order other
wise This will be only after the OPP
orators have granted our demands"
T. Z. Jenkins, national secretary of
the engineers. said:
The referendum vote Of the engin-
GERS settled the matter. II means that
the operators must pay the engineers
the scale that was in effect last year
or there will be a strike"
Refused "a Reduction.
The engineers were asked to accept
n cut Of 5.55 per cent in wages. but re
fused Arbitration then was offered by
the operators, but it likewise was re-
jectCd
Arrangements have been made for
an extra coach TO and from Coai Val
ley for the accommodation of those
who go from this city. There will be
two opportunities for returning. on the
Trilby at 9:45 or on the special coacn

To Arbitrute Shcrrnrd Trouble.
The difficulties of the mine workers
