the suspension which went into effect
at midnight Sunday night, due to
wage troubles.
More than 100000 miners, about
100000 in the anthracite field and
25O,OOO in the bituminous, will take
vacation, which probably will last
only a few weeks. Different from
strike, the miners will leave pnmp-
men and others at work to protect the
mines from flooding or other trouble
due to shutdown of the plants.
The bituminous miners win be out
only long enough for the wage agree
ment reached in Cleveland to be rati-
fled by the miners by referendum
vote and it ia believed the agreement
will be sanctioned by n large majority
of the men.
The suspension in the anthracite
mines will last longer as no agree
ment has yet been reached. Negoti-
ations will be resumed April 10th.
Ballots for the referendum vote by
the bituminous miners, it is said. will
be sent out from the national miners
headquarters here. 1t will take more
than two weeks to take the vote. AS
it will require some time to canvass
the vote. the bituminous miners are
not expected to resume work much
under a month.
