Miners Idle Today.
HOPE FOR BITUMINOUS MEN
May Reach an Agreement Now That
Demands Are Modified.
ANTHRACITE STATUS IS GRAVE
No Definite Agreement Immediately

Are Affected.

Scores of thousands of coal miners quit
work today in the anthracite fields OF
Pennsylvania and in the central "competi-
tive field of the bituminous portion OF
the industry.
Ofhclal1y the movement is a suspension
of work, and whether it is to develop
into widespread strike depends on the
outcome of voting in the union ranks and
of conferences between the men and en-
ployers within the next ter days
Anthracite men are more apprehensive
than their bituminOus brethren as to the
ultimate outcome. This condition is pred
icated on the fact that there is no definite
agreement Immediately in sight for the
hard coal men, whereas the bituminous
conference at Cleveland adjourned after
