MINERS TO STRIKE
FIRST OF APRIL.
Work Will Cease in BituminouS Fields in
All States---PreSident Mitchell Stood
Out for Peace.

INDIANAPOLIS. Ind, March SIN
joint convention today the representa-
tives OF the United Mine Workers Of
America voted to reject the compromise
concession offered by the operators Of
the central competitive district. The
vote was cast in the face Of the opposi-
tion Of President Mitchell, and the other
national officers.
IL seems. in substance unless some
occurrence, now wholly unforeseen, shall
intervene, that a strike Of all the miners
in the bituminOus coal fields OF the
country will be called April l. when
the present scale agreement expires.
The joint conference Of miners and
operators was then called into session
again and a vote was taken by districts
on the question OF accepting the terms
offered by the operators. Each district
OF miners voted NO" and each district
OF operators YES"

moved that the conference adjourn sine

motion. To adjourn thus meant a strike.

ferred Informally and the subcommittee

ing this decisive step. The meeting of
the subcommittee was informal When
its members returned to the hall the
vote on the motion to adjourn was
taken. II was unanimous for adjourn
ment.
President Mitchell called the miners
together for a meeting Immediately after
the Adjournment Of the joint conference.
The meeting was brief. Committees were

Leaders Advice Secuted.
President Mitchell said tonight that
this means strike and the dissolution
OF the interstate movement. President
Mitchell and other executive and dis
trict officers of the mine workers IN

gates from Indiana. Ohio. western Penn
sylvania. and Illinois to accept the 5.55
per cent reduction proposed by the oper-
ators in their ultimatum issued to the
scale and subscale committee All made
strong speeches.
The session was heated. There was
much opposition from the floor OF the
convention by delegates who took ex-
certion to the statement that the tide
OF Industrial affairs was out, that the
coai market was downward. and that
it was a bad time TO go into a fight.
Most of the opposition was from the
Indiana and Illinois districts.
The national officers not only took the
ground that the times were not favor
able for a strike but also that the min
e-s have gained far more by reason OF
the joint relations OF operators and
rainers-which would be disrupted prob
ably for all time-than they could gain
By strike. They pointed out the fact
that with the 5.55 per cent reduction the
miners would still have an increase OF
per cent oVsS the scale Of 1902.

were reported TO a joint convention this
morning, and the miners convention

his position. he declared he was amen

FIVE BOYS ARRESTED
Were Found in a Box Car Ready to
 Leave the City.

Five boys, who yearned to be tramps and see the country, beating their way from town to town, were arrested at four o'clock yesterday morning and allowed the doubtful pleasure of spending the remainder of the night in the city jail. By morning they were thoroughly repentant and at least four of them are now again under the par ental roof.
 The boys were found in a box car playing cards. All were members of local families except Elmer Scott aged 15 years, who ran away from his home at Williams. He had beaten his way to this city and had prevailed upon the four other boys to accompany him in his wanderings, but they were ar rested before they had made the start
 The few hours in jail gave the boys all the tramp life they wanted. It took all the romance out of it and when they were taken out of the damp cell and escorted to the city marshals
