PEACE PREVAILS
At ALL CENTERS
OF COAL STRIKE
Four Hundred Thousand
Miners Enjoy Holiday.
Hope for Increase.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, April with
only one or two exceptions the suspen-
sion in the coal mining industry of the
country, which went into effect Sunday
at midnight, when the wage contracts
between the United Mine Workers of
America and the bituminous and an
thractte coal operators expired, was
general today and approximately Iee, 900
miners are out of work, the country
will miss more than a million tons of
coal, and the miners are out about ST.
100000 in wages.
The only exception to the general sus-
pension, which came to the notice of
the miners officials, was in two rail-
road mines at Evansville, Ind, in
which the men continued at work with
, the understanding that they are to
receive the new scale of wages.
In many places yesterday was cele-
brated as "eight-hour day among the
miners. marking the anniversary OF the
Installing of the eight.hour day in the
soft coal mines of the West. =
Edwin Perry, national secretary-treas-
urer of the miners, says the Cleveland
contract when ratified, will provide the
highest wage ever paid to coal miners
of any country.
The men of the picks needed the in
crease" he said "and I do not think
the public will feel that we are trying
to hold them up, The increase should
have little If any effect on the price of
coal.
Naturally we are feeling pretty good
over the increase in wages for a term of
two years obtained by arbitration for
The bituminous miners" he continued,
! land we, will go into the conference
! with the anthracite operators at PhIla-
delphia with absolute confidence that
they will not hold out against higher
wages for their men also. It will be a
strikeless triumph throughout the coel
industry.
Not the least important aspect of
this victory in the bltuminous field is
the rehabilitation of the central COM
petitive field conference between the
men and their employers. This means
