MINERS ORDERED
TO REMAIN AWAY

In the last issue of the United Mine Work
ers' Journal there is a flaring notice in the
center of the front page, signed by John
Mitchell, president, Thomas y. Lewis, vice
president, and William b. Wilson, secretary
of the organization. requesting that all
miners and mine workers stay away from
Colorado. Utah and New Mexico, the
Meyersdale region OF Pennsylvania and from
the West Virginia districts. The notice
shows we'll the attitude that the United
Mine Workers have taken in regard to
strikes brought on by reduction of wages on
the part of the operators. AT meeting Of
the executive board last week the mine
workers gave notice that all reductions in
wages made in violation of the contracts of
the miners would be vigorously opposed.
Miners who strike because their contracts
have been broken by the operators reducing
wages Will have behind them the support of
their organiza ton. Mr.. Mitchell says that
the organization expects to fight to the bit
ter end ali conflicts caused by the breaking
of contracts in the cutting Of wages.
The strike now on in the Meyersdale re-
gfon was caused by a reduction of wages.
At the meeting Of the executive board the
strike was indorsed and the miners will be
ton is capable. Vice President Lewis has
left for the region with instructions from
the executive board. Just what the instruc-
tons are would not be made public, but on
leaving Mr.. Lewis said that he would either
compel the operators to pay the wages
agreed upon in their contracts or tie I'D
completely the entire district.

If they are not completed great confusion
will ensue.
In three weeks. at the beginning of the
new term, 3A pupils will enter upon their
