CHICAGO SEES
Mine LAY OFF
OPERATORS CONVINCED THIRTY
DAYS SHUT DOWN CAN
Z NOT BE AVOIDED.

Chicago, Feb. 2s. A thirty days
suspension Of work in the coal mines
Of the entire central competitive dis
trict appears to be probable as a re-
suit Of the failure of miners and coal
operators now in conference at Pc
oria to reach an agreement,
Chicago coal operators are convinc-
ed. 1t will be impossible to patch up
the differences between the miners
and Illinois operators by April 1. The
members of the United Mine Workers
are anxious to return to the interstate
agreement, which was broken up two
years ago, but Illinois operators are
unwilling to enter the interstate con-
ference at Indianapolis until the Illi-
nois working conditions have been
agreed upon.
AS a consequence of this condition
1t is more than likely that suspen-
sion of work will be called by the
United Mine Workers from April /.
Miners Constitution the Cause.
The miners are prohibited by their
constitution from working without a
wage agreement. This will have the
effect Of causing suspension of work
in the mines of Illinois, Indiana,
Ohio and western Pennsylvania
Indications are that 1t will take sev.
eral weeks before the Peoria confer.
ence can reach an agreement.
Even IL the Illinois conferen ce
should reach an agreement within
the next two weeks, the interstate
conference at indianapolis is pretty
certain to extend beyond April 1.
The principal bone of contention al
Peoria is the question of differentials
between machine and pick mining
The question of wage scale will
come up at the interstate conference
| Illinois coal operators want the same
conditions as to the Chicago market
as are enjoyed by their competitors
in Indiana. Illinois is the only state
in which the mine run" system OBJ
tains to the exclusion Of other sys
TENS.
A majority of Illinois coal operators
/ favor returning to the interstate wage
/ agreement. During the last two year!
there have been only state agree
ments as to wages and working con
ditions. This followed failure on the
part of an interstate conference two
years ago to make a scale The miner.
also are anxious to return to the in
terstate agreement, but must wait un
til local differences are settled.
