Indianapolis, Ind.-Two hundred
and fifty thousand bituminous coal
miners of the United States stopped
work until a wage settlement has
been reached and a scale adopted De-
tween the members of the United
Mine Workers of America and the
coal operators of the various fields.
The situation, however, does not
indicate a prolonged strike. The diff

agreed that the present wage scale
will be continued.

CUT WAGES OF MILL MEN,
Reduction Goes Into Effect in Fac.

Boston.-The general reduction of
ten per cent. in the wages of New
England cotton mill operatives, which
was recently decided upon, has be-
come effective in mills employing
$4,000 persons. Next week the move
ment will apply to the pay of as many
more. The reduction is due to the
dull state of the cotton goods mar
ket, which forced many mills to cur
tain production during the winter and
at present. The cities of Fall River
and Lawrence and Berkshire County
are not included in the general re-
duction, but may be affected later
on.
There was some interest in mill
circles as to how the operatives would
accep- the cut down. Several minor
strikes were regarded as possible, but
no serious walkout was expected at
any point.
