are very bad in all these three classes
of mines.

NO COAL STRIKES
4-State Agreement Reached by
Unions and Operators.
Concludes Long Threatened
Walkout by $4,000 Men.

Kansas City, Aug. 19.-The threat
ened strike of the $4,000 coal miners
of Missouri, Kansas, Arkansas and
Oklahoma has been averted. Com
promises made by each side in the ne
gotiations for the two-year working
contract enabled the subcommittee of
the general conference to reach COM
plete agreement on the six points at
issue here today. A report to that eff
feet will be made to the general con-
ference on Monday.
The disputed clauses had to do with
working conditions in the mines and
with the operators recognition of the
union. The representatives of the
men said they were considered as be-
ing even more important than the
wage increases. Substantial compro-
misses had to be made by each side, it
is understood, in order to work out a
final settlement.
