End of Coal Strike.

Wednesday to end the coal strike. With
but one dissenting vote the general
committee Of the United Mine Workers
of America, in session at Indianapolis,
Ind, on December 10, accepted Presi-
dent Wilson's proposal for Immediate
return to work pending final settlement
of their wage controversy with operators
by commission to be appointed by him.

morning, Dec. Is.
Miners, operators and government
officials alike were highly gratifed over
the settlement and all sides appeared
confident of a final satisfactory settle.

Tie-Up Of Over Five Weeks Ends.

its zoe, 100000 inhabitants.
Decision of the miners came after

settlement Of the strike and for a time
threatened to defeat efforts to settle
the strike at this time. The conserya-

John L. Lewis and Secretary Treasurer

practically all opposition by the time the
question came to vote.
Concession Made to Radicals.
One concession was made to the rad

calling Of q general convention Of the
