The resolutions committee may also
report out a resolution on the League

naturalization of coal mines appears
divided, some delegates doubling it's i'm

Questions of wages and hours OF labor
are naturally predominant with the dele
gates from Ohio, Indiana. West Virginia,

were fixed until the end of the war, 1t

field negotiating separately but the wage
and hour issue for all mining fields OF
America will be before the operators for
settlement not later than November /,

MARCHING MINERS
GO HOME IN TRAINS
Striking Coal Diggers Are to
Resume Work To-day.

CHARLESTON, w. Va. Sept. THE
several thousand miners who took IN a
cross-country march yesterday with the
avowed purpose of forcing non-union
miners in Logan county to oSanlze,
were prevailed upon today to desst in
their efforts. After almost hourly tele-
phone conferences between Gov. Corn-
well in this city. and Frank Keency,
president OF District II, United Mine
Workers, the men were started back 10
their homes late this afternoon from
Danville and Clothier, at which points
they had camped over night. They
were carried in special trains and the
union officials said that all will return
TO work tomorrow morning.
The men had taken up the march
without instruction or counsel with Mr..
Keeney. Reports that are said to have
been false and misleading intlamed the
miners and with one section OF the
little army it was the determination TO
rectify the reported conditions in 10
gan county. Some of the reports that
reached the miners in tho Kanewh
field were that women and children we're
being murdered by mine guards in 20
gan county and Il was their detcrmiua-
ton to put stop to II.
The strike is peculiar in that il was
not one Of labor against employers.
There appears TO be no grievance in the
Kanawha field, the operators paying the
union scale. and abiding by the wage
agreement.
II is said by natives OF Logan county
that the miners there make more money
than the union men in the KanawhA
field and that most ~ them own their
own homes. MAN. are owners % con!
lands and draw royalties. They resent
the intrusion of outsiders, especially
union men who have endeavored to or
ganiZe them.
