miners for continuation of work after
the expiration of the present agree

NIT of no compromise so far as wages
are concerned. On the other questions
there is room for argument and the
general trend of opinion tonight is
that no lengthy suspension will be the
result except in the fields. The most
threatening aspect overshadows the
Pennsylvania and Illinois sections.
Briefly the miners demand that all
operators agree to pay increased
wages of five cents per ton on pick
mined, screened coal, with propor-
Tomato advances for other methods
of mining and outside labor as a
perquisite to negotiating other ques-
lions. With an advance in pay as

the action to this affect by the dis

Most of the operators have left the
city except the Pennsylvania men
and those that remained tonight ex-
pressed satisfaction with the outlook.
Ohio and Indiana operators believe
each district will reach an agreement.
