"a new and important question
was injected into the situation today
by the officials of the miners, who
claimed the operators had violated
a contract with the engineers and
pumpmen. Miners officials said If
the operators would live up to the
provisions of the contract, engineers,
pumpmen and fanmen would be SUD

THE charge against the operat-
