OHIO COAL MINES
ARE CLOSED DOWN
Fifty Thousand Miners Out
Because of New Wage
Scale Law.

COLUMBUS, Ohio, March 31.-On
niyersary Of the establishment of an
eight-hour day in this state-nearly
$4,000 Ohio miners tonight quit work
for an indefinite time, the mines hay-
ing been closed in accordance with
orders issued yesterday by the coal
operators.
How long the mines will remain
closed was Il subject of speculation to-
night, but close observers Of the sltua-
tion are of the opinion that the con-
troversy is not as near a hopeless crisis
as is generally believed. 1t was learned
tonight that at least six operators in
the state will continue operations un-
til the miners have taken referendum
vote on the wage scale sent back to
them by the Chicago conference.
Members of the executive commit
tee Of the Ohio district of United Mine
Workers of America were In conference
here today, but declined TO make any
statement at tho close Of the days
proceedings. 1t is expected that the
results of the referendum will be com
pleted by April l5 Then, the miners
say. they will be ready to resume ne
gOtiations for a now wage scale If
deemed desirable.
New Law Causes Shutdown.
CLEVELAND, March 31.-With
few exceptions every coal mine In Ohio
was closed down for an indefinite
period Mt the close of work today, Local
coal operators estimate that $4,000
miners are thrown out OF employment.
At the last session of the Ohio legis-
lature a law was passed providing Tor
the payment of miners on run-of nine
basis instead Of the screen payment
plan, which has always prevailed in this
state, This law is the cause of the
shutdown.
The minors had signified their readi-
ness to continue Mt work temporarily,
but the operators rejected the plan. The
miners have fought for IN antiscrecn
law for thirty years.
