WITH OPERATORS
IN DIFFERENT COAL FIELDS
EMPIRE THIS DAY.
MITCHELL TO STEP OUT
VIII Retire From Presidency of Uni.
ted Mine Workers of America
and Will Be Succeeded
by Tom l.. Lewis.

Indianapolis, Ind. March 81
The union miners in most of the soft
coal fields of the country will lay
down their picks and shove1s to-
night Almost 250,000 of them will
stop work in Ohio, Western Pennsyl-
vania. Missouri, Iowa, Kansas, Okla
oma. Arkansas, Texas and probably
Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, West
Virginia and Kentucky
The mining contracts under which
they are now working expire at mid
night tonight and except in Central
Pennsylvania and in the Indiana
block coal district, none have been
renewed nor have the miners and
operators yet entered into district
agreements providing for the oper-
ating of the mines after April /
pending agreements.
This is a possibility in the Indiana
bituminous coal district, in Illinois,
Michigan and West Virginia. The In
diana bituminous, Western Pennsyl-
vania and Illinois miners and oper-
ators are in joint session at Terre
Haute, Pittsburg and Springfield.
Technically the miners will go out
on strike, but in reality they will
stop work because the operators, ex-
cept in Indiana and Illinois, show no
real intention OF meeting and treat
ing with them though no question
of wage or principle is at stake.
John Mitchell returned yesterday
and is preparing to step out of Office.
Congressman w. B. Wilson is back
from Central Pennsylvania, where
he scored the first big success in the
present situation by getting the Cen
tral Pennsylvania operators and min
ers into an agreement. That district
will continue to work.
Vice President 7. l.. Lewis, who
will succeed President Mitchell We'd
nesday will announce his appoint
ments when he takes office. 1t is un-
derstood S. H. Taylor of the United
Miners Journal is to be retired and
that possibly c. H. Evans, the Off
cial statistician, may be succeeded
by a new appointee.

bert Parsons. Followers of Parsons
are attempting to rally local leaders
against the intrusion of the New
burg politician, with prospects of
success. Efforts to elect true Hughes
delegates at the primaries In the
twenty-ninth assembly district have
precipitated a bitter fight between
the Hammond-Parsons faction and
the men who want the delegates to
be for Hughes from start to finish.
All is apparently peaceful in the
democratic camp, with Tammany in
full control of the situation. Leader
Murphy has gone on ,ecord for an
uninstructed delegation to the Den
yer convention. and the delegates
selected in today's primaries will
probably reflect this sentiment.
