MINERS FIRM On
INCREASE IN PAY
White and Walker Agree On
New Policy.
HIGHER WAGES OR A STRIKE
Operators Admit Situation Is Altered

Leader Joins Other Labor
Executives.
HIGHER WAGES OR A STRIKE

Cleveland, O., March 25.-Every
hour the miners are becoming more
determined on the new policy agreed
on by International President John p
White and President John H. Walker
OF Illinois, when they decided to "sinJz
or swim together"
At several conferences held by the
leaders it was found that if the BIZ
luminous coal operators wish to avert
strike they must grant some increase
in wages. So far as the seven-hour
workday, mine run and other PROPOSE
lions are concerned, they will not be
pressed. But the one issue of an ad-
vance will be fought to the end. 1t
may also be said that an advance of
ten cents a ton and 20 per cent. for
day labor is not expected. A suitable
compromise would be acceptable.
Change Creates Sensation.
The change in the policy of the
miners created a sensation. 1t is an
open secret that the operators came
to the Cleveland joint convention
with the understanding that miners
would be willing to agree to recon-
mend to the rank and file that the
present wage scale be renewed for
two years. They were surprised when
the miners refused to accept this plan
of averting strike. When the op-
orators left Saturday for their homes
they were still confident that on their
return tomorrow they would find the
miners in a better frame of mind and
ready to renew the present wage scale.
and that the officers and policy COM
mittee would recommend it's adoption
by the rank and file.
Feehan of Pittsburgh Joins.
After the conferences of the miners
leaders it was said that President
Feehan Of the Pittsburgh district,
whose position has been unknown, had
agreed to stand by the other state
presidents in an irrevocable demand
for an advance.
eve must have concessions on the
wage question" said President White
of the miners.
"The miners are determined that
an increase in wages must be con-
coded by the operators" said Presi-
dent Walker of the Illinois miners. eff
they do not there will be a strike"
Now that Walker has brought the
other leaders to his stand, the opera
tors admit that the entire situation is
changed and that a strike will be
more difficult to avert.

another in its stead, but not more
than three in all to any voter. Five
minutes time is allowed in booth to

memorandum to assist the voter
in making his ballot can be taken
into the booth and may be used to

out of the booth or compartment,
give his name to the inspector in

his ballot to be placed in the box,
and pass out Of the voting place. A
voter who declares to the presiding
officer that he is unable to read, or
that by reason of physical disa-
bility he is unable to mark his
ballot, can have the assistance of
one or two election officers in mark
ing the same, to be chosen by the
voter; and if he declares that he IS
totally blind, he may be assisted by
any person chosen by him from
among the legal voters of the
county. The presiding officer may
administer an oath in his discretion
as to such persons disability. The
party designations and candidates
for the different officers, are for

The reception accorded to Secretary
