suiaption Of the eosfssenee a.d pssst-
6ly . solution Of the strike, Secretary
Of Labor, william B. Wilson is.s4 .
statement, which, eounte1sis.el by
Governor Ammons, was presented 10
the operators and the miners repre-
sentatives. Both promised to give it
consideration. It is believed that it
will prove abortive, since the operators
having accepted the governors state
ment of fact, could hardly acdDpt a
second, while it is not believed the
miners will accept Secretary Wilson IS
statement, for, like the governor =
statement, it eliminates recognition of
the union. Despite the fact that the
elimination of the union from the dis
cuesion in the conference had been con
ceied when the cOnferees first met, the
miners representatives returned to tire
recognition of the union as = requisite
condition.
The statement Of Governor Ammons,
drawn up after he had spent the after
noon with the operators and miners
representatives., was as follows:
"Having listened to your conference
Throughout yesterday and believing
from representations made that there
is no material differences between you
sufficient to warrant a continuance Of
the present difficulty, desire to make
Q suggestion for the termination Of the
present industrial diaputs.
The one apparent insurmountable oh
staele to . settlement was the recogni-
tion Of the union and almost every
material di6erence between you hinges
upon tha& question, or ID covered by
existing law.
"There il no law compelling the op-
efators to recognize the union, nor per
nit The employee t. exact tAat recog-
,itisn. TIE statste dos provide, how
ever, for the risat 70 join . union, il

inteefereAee. This law las been read
to all the esaferees and its provisions
agreed to.''
After quoting the statute the COVER
nor continued:
"Bearing in mind the discussion OF
the oher points involved suggest the
following as = satisfactory solution:
"The employment Of checkweigh'
men as provided by law, giving the
miners themselves the right to choose
their own checkweighnen.
"The carrying out in good faith tbs
statute making it unlawful to use Of
employ, directly or indirectly, the 90
called truck O Scrip system in pay
