broken by some unforeseen influence.
the national convention Of the United
Mine Workers of America adjourned

ers Of the central and southwestern

the miners union. advised the dele
safes TO 60 home and LOO, 20 the Sc
curing OF a defense fund i'm view of a
possible industrial strife between min
ers and operators. the miners having
refused to renew the present wage scale
and the operators having refused to
grant an increase in vases.
The apparent determination of both
operators and miners indicates that
neither will make overtures TO the
other for further negotiations. and as
indicated by the speeches Of both the
radicals and the conservatives of both
organizations at the Joint conference.
IT is probable that the $50. 0OC men con
