Chicago, Illinois-An aggressive fight against striking Illinois miners was begun by the Coal Operators as. soeiation The work of distributing copies of the proposed contract of. fered by the operators to the strikers in every mining town in the state was started and measures for an attack on the constitutionality of the shotfirer's law are being drawn up At a meet. ing the operators in the Belleville dis. trict, who signed individual contracts Wednesday with the miners, were ex. pelled from membership.
 Resolutions declaring that there must be one contract for all or no con. tract of any hInd were adopted
 The association is to arrange for meetings with railroads, manufactur CTS associations and other large con sumers of coal to lay all the facts be fore them.
 The most sigI>ficant clause in the resolutions adopted provides:

That the miners of Illinois be giv. en reasonable time in which to ac cept a contract carrying with it the same advances accepted in Pennsyl vania, Ohio, Indiana and Iowa. pursu ant to the demands of the National Convention, and that meanwhile the advisory committee be directed to for. mulate a competitive contract along the lines of the Indiana contract for adoption by the association in case ii becomes advisable to withdraw the existing offer and take this offered op portunity to correct the gross inequal ities heretofore existing between this and the states east
 This clause means that if the oper. miners, some of the advantages which the men have enjoyed over other states during the last 10 years will be taken from them. The differential be tween pick and machine mined coa. will be increased by the operators from cents to IA cents, as in In diana, and the operators also will try to abolish the mine-run system Of wages. In most of the other states the miners are paid only for coal that passes over a screen, while in Illinois the men are paid for the coal as i, comes out of the mines.
