Indiana.

Brazil, Ind, March 8.-Aimost the
entire session of the convention OF the
United Mine Workers Of district was
taken up In considering the trouble at
the Progressive Coal company's "Nev-
or, mine in the southeast part of the
city In this mine the individual min
ers. without consulting the district Of
6cials. made a contract with the com
pany to mine and load fire clay at 80
cents a ton, and shale at % cents a
ton.
Worked All Right for Awhile.
This scale worked satisfactory as
long as there was good demand for
coal, but when the coal business fell
off and the company kept the miners
busy for the greater part of the work
ing time in loading clay and shale, they
said they were only able to make 81, rs
and So a day, and they demanded an
increase in the price of loading clay
and shale. The company refused to
grant the increase, and the officers Of
district No. 8 were appealed to.
Wilson Could Not Help Them.
AS the miners made the contract on
their own authority and without con-
sulting the district officials, President
Wilson told them he could do nothing
for them, as there was no district scale
for loading clay and shale He in
formed the miners that If they did not
wish to load clany and shale. He in
they could load it at the regular day
mems wages. which is 1886 a day. The
miners took vote on this, and a ma
jority of the miners voted to continue
work by the ton.
Some Miners Had No Stock.
AS the Progressive Coal company is
cooperative concern the miners who
did not have stock in the company
were dissatisfied, asserting that the
stockholders controlled the meeting
and voted to continue work by the
ton against the interests Of the min
ers.
