TO STRIKE MONDAY
$4,000 Men May Walk Out
Next Week

Cleveland, O., March 25.-Hope Of
averting a nation wide coal strike be-
ginning next Monday, centered today
in a subcommittee which had been APP
pointed by bituminous operators and
miners to agree, if possible, on COM
promise wage scale.
All other means of agreeing had
failed and it was said that unless a
compromise was reached soon $4,000
miners in the bituminous fields would
quit Sunday midnight, and the sus-
pension would in effect be a strike.
AS for the $4,000 miners in the
anthracite fields of Pennsylvania, it
was announced by the national union
officials today that the strike there Oh
next Monday now was unavoidable No
steps towards reuniting the anthracite
miners and operators had been taken
since they broke off their negotiations
in New York, March 10.
Jointly the wage dispute involved y

miners and the shutting down of al
