ty-slx deals. The following day they
completed thirty-one transactions, FRI

5000 COAL MINERS
OUT in OKLAHOMA
Strike Caused by Friction
Among Mine OWltrS
Oklahoma Operators SeCede From the
Southwest Association. and De-
mand Union Concessions
Especial Correspondence.)

OKLAHOMA CITY, Nov. In com
pliance with an order issued by the dis
trict executive board OF the United Mine
Workers and unanimously indorsed by
the special convention held in McAlester,
October %, all mine workers employed
i'll the mines operated by members OF the
Oklahoma Operators association sus-
pended work Wednesday morning OF last
week. A majority of the coal operators
in Oklahoma recently withdrew from the
Southwest Interstate Coal Operators
association and formed an independent
association previous to the signing of the
biennial agreement between the miners
and operators which covers general wage
schedules and working conditions in the
southwest. After conference lasting
several weeks, between representatives
OF the new operators association and
mine workers, Il disagreement resulted
on sections and OF the proposed CON
tract, the operators refusing to agree
to these sections and the strike order
by the district executive board followed.
The sections in dispute are identical
to provisions of the interstate contract
which has been signed by all other coal
operators of the southwest. Section
covers the collection Of fines while sec
tion 6 would eliminate discrimination
between applicants for employment. 1t
is claimed that in some places system
of discrimination between applicants for
employment has grown up that amounts
to a virtual blacklist of members who
are active in affairs of the organization
or who incur the enmity of local fore
men. and the purpose of the proposed
provision would give those Disseminated
against the same right of having the
cases adjusted as discharged employees.
The operators deny that discrimination
has been practiccd or that they have
any intention to discriminate. The min
ers point out that if this be true there
can be no logical objection to the pro
posed section.
1t also appears that there is more at
issue than the provisions of this section
and that the system of making contracts
which has been in vogue for years in
the southwest, is in danger, should the
miners grant greater concessions to the
seeding operators than to the members
of the Southwest Interstate Coal Oper-
ators' association, an organization with
whom they have had working agree
ments for years.
Engineers, firemen and pumpmen are
continuing at work to protect the mines
and no attempt have been made to
operate the mines with non union labor.
About 5000 men are involved.

had referred his request TO the public
service commission, and there the matter
rests for the present.
After a conference with the mediators
Organizer Fitzgerald denied n statement
that terms of settlement had been made
to him. lie said that responsibility for
further peace parties was in the hands

The long strike of nearly 5000 men

METAL POLISHERS FIGHT
WOODSTOCK TYPEWRITER
STATEMENT ISSUED BY A COMMIT
TEE OF THE UNION.
Sales of Unfair Product Diminish and
1,5oo Unsold Machines Are Dumped
Into the Company's Warehouse.

The Woodstock IlL) Typewriter pol
ishers' strike is nearing the end OF the
third month and the polishers report
that this unfair firm has been forced to
place agents on the road to stall off
disaster to their rapidly declining trade,
owing to the strike which has been and
is yet being advertised broadcast thru
out the country.
Over fifteen hundred typewriters are
piled in the storerOom of tnis company,
owing to the deadly grip the strike has
on the sales of this machine, a fitting
rebuke to this labor hating firm who
forced the scab into the breach, after
the union men refused unjust hours and
conditions to cheaper this machine so
it could be sold on the premium basis,
and new model machine which win
soon be placed on the market with the
aid of travelling agents, is the one and
only hope of this company to regain
lost ground. "The American people love
to be humbugged," will now be the
motto and adage of this company, who
are now placing agents on the road to
throw dust in the eyes of the American
merchant and professional men. as well,
in the vain hope of deluding the public
everywhere in order to create a demand
and make sales of their scab-polished
typewriter, while lowering over these
pretensions of this company floats the
strike of eighteen union polishers, who
only asked for what all other typewriter
factories long since have granted their
pOlishers-the nine-hour day with re-
vision of prices. No increase was asked
for whatever
Look out for this agent, Mr.. Merchant
and Professional Man; he will call upon
you soon; he is sent out as feeler; he
will tell you there is no strike on, to
hold his job, to sell you a cab-polished

As yet little progress has been made

to be optimistic and hopeful of being
