WYOMING MINES TO CLOSE.
Operators and Strikers Fail to Agree
on Wage Scale.

Butte Mont, Aug. 31.-After a
two-day session in this city lasting
until late Saturday night, the COM
mittee representing the United Mine
Workers of Wyoming. failed to reach
a wage agreement with the opera
tors and according to John w. Hart,
spokesman for the mine owners. all
the coal mines in Wyoming will be
shut down today. About 1000 men
will be idle. Charges OF bad faith
are made against the mine workers
by Mr.. Hart, representing the Union
Pacific railway, who claimed that an
agreement with respect to wages
was made between himself and
Thomas Gibson, president OF the
Wyoming coal miners organization
constituting a regularly named sub
committee. which agreement Mr.
Hart claims was repudiated by the
mine workers.
Mr.. Hart wired Thomas L. Lewis
AT Indianapolis. president OF the
United Mine Workers of America
protesting against the action Of th'
committee in repudiating the al
cd agreement.
The contention between the min
ers and the operators Is over a pro-
posed reduction in wages amounting
to from 10 to Is cents a day.
