One Of the most conservative Of the
mine owners says:
The first criticism l make OF the local

There has not arisen a quarrel that
could not have been settled by reasonable
men. The union refused to appoint such
standing committee We asked them
for a bill of particulars. and they de-
clined 10 give one; and thus their natural
enemies in the ranks Of the employers

would give the union three-year con-
tract at $ per day. but az their last
convention they went on record against
signing contracts with their employers.
