3OO.OO0SOFTCOAL
MINERS HAVE
QUIT WORK
Coal Mining Has Ceased in
Nine States
DEMAND RAISE IN WAGES
Suspension of From Two to Four
Months is Predicted But No
Coal Famine

indianapolis. March 3l.-Three
hundred thousand miners in the BIZ
luminous coal fields of the United
States suspended work, and demand
ed higher wages tonight, according
to the official statement given out at
the headquarters in this city of the
United Mine Workers Of America
Coincidently the national officers of
the organization, who had been In Sc
cret session here for two days de-
parted for their respective states to
advise the miners in the district con
ferences with the mine operators.
President r. l.. Lewis made the fol-
lowing estimate of the number OF
miners affected by the suspension of
work:
Western and Central Pennsylvania
100000
Ohio, 1900.
Indiana, $4,000
West Virginia, 10000
Illinois, 10000
Iowa, $4,000
Michigan, 5000
Kansas, Arkansas, Texas and Okla
homa. $4,000
Colorado, 5000.
Western Kentucky, 5000.
When the National Executive
Board adjourned tonight we all felt
that the prospect was very satisfac-
tory for the miners said President
Lewis. In many districts it is now
only a question of the miners and
operators sitting down together and
talking over business.
In Eastern Ohio it is reported to
US that three of the largest compan-
les are ready to sign the contract we
formulated at our recent meeting in
Cincinnati
In Indiana and the Hooking dis
trict of Ohio we will reach a settle
ment next week There probably
will be more difficulty in Western
Pennsylvania and in Illinois where
the powder and shot frers wage
question are involved
