Closed and Coal Miners Break

WARRINGTON, July 2s--Industrial
disputes have again taken on more
serious aspect, according 10 the reports
which reached the department of labor
last night. They affect mineral produc,
ton and coal fields. ~
Adyices from Denver say that the
conferences which have been held there
in the hopes Of averting a strike in
the Colorado coal fields have been
abruptly broken OF. The men have
rejected all Of the proposals made by
the mine owners and the suggestions
made by the board Of Cancellation are
likewise declined. The workmen say
that efforts to svert the strike which
Will affect Mt least 5000 men in the
coal fields and probably result in cur
failing coke production ut the coke
furnaces materially even II it should
not stop " entirely have proved futile.
On the other hand, the chairman of
the State industrial board says that the
situation is not hopeless and that he
believes another conference is possible
and that he expects to be able to bring
il about. r..
From Leadville reports Of the dis.
turbanees of labor conditions in the
metal mines say that five of the large
metal mines Of the district will be
closed pending settlement Of the diff
ferenees with the workers, and that this
step has been necessitated by reason Of
the interference of the strikers with
the operatives who were willing to con.
time at work. III.
They also claim that agitatOrs are
causing all of the trouble and that
there would be no difficulty in securing
an adjustment Of differences with the
old employees were it not for such inter
ferenees.
Dispatches from San Jose, Califor.
MIA, say that the employees Of the can
neries there after a stormy session vot,

posals of the managers OF the Gamer
