OPERATORS HAVE REFUSED

New York, Aug lo,--A special to the
Times from indianapolis Says With
the exception OF few coal miners en-
ployed by operators not members Of the
operators association, all the men en-
ployed in the btumnous mines in In
diana are now on strike This action
was brought about indirectly by an
unauthorized strike in the Hudson mine,
which the operators association resent,
ed by declaring an relations with the
United Mine Workers Of America sever
ed and refusing 10 continue the 'caeck
or system BY which the dues OF the
miners, to their organization were re-
tanned from their pay envelopes and
paid direct by the mine owners treas
urnr into the treasury Of the union.
The most conservative estimates places
the number OF men now on strike at
between eight thousand and ten thous-
and, and but for the few independent
mines al work the industry in the State
would be az a complete stanistill.
Many Of the miners have been idle
during the dali months OF the summer
and are in debt at the stores, and the
strike comes as q hard blow 10 them
at this time. On the other hand, the
operators have large contracts for the
winter and practically no coal on hand
with which to I'M them.
a despatch from Pittsburg says; A
meeting Of coal operators OF the Pitts
burg district has been called here, at
which blow may be struck at the heart
OF the Miners onion. Leaders Of the
forty thousand miners in the district
have demanded that mine owners take
greater eheck-oil from the monthly
pay Of miners for the union. This the
operators have refused 10 DO and
strike has been threatened by miners
OF the entire district. The meeting is
