MINERS MAY STRIKE
NATIONWIDE WALKOUT is IMMI-
NENT.
Trouble Starts at Conference Held In
Chicago Between Miners and
Operators.

Chicago, March %. - Difficulties
which may lead to nationwide strike
between the coal mine operators and
miners developed in the conference
at the Great Northern hotel. The
miners, who had demanded a six per
cent increase, acceded to the demands
of the operators to sign the existing
agreement for another two years.
The miners and operators in the con-
ference here are from the bituminious
fields of Ohio, Illinois, western Penn
sylvania and Indiana
After agreeing to sign the old agree
ment for another two years, a new
snag was struck in the Ohio delega-
tons. The men are paid on a mine
run basis there under state law. The
operators want that changed so they
may pay the men on a screen meas
ure basis.
The representatives of the miners
refused to agree to that demand and
subcommittee we're appointed to
thrash out the Ohio difficulties The
conference will be resumed on Tues
day.
e. A. Cole, chairman of the sub
committee, said the operators and
miners were as far apart now as at
the beginning of the negotiations.
1--WE will call strike of every coal
miner in the country" William Green,
secretary of the United Mine Workers
of America, said, eff the negotiations
here do not end in the signing of an
agreement"
There are 100000 coal miners in the
United Mine Workers organization.
