a living wake as it is
Mines in Washington state, it
was said have shut down because
of the miners refusal to accept re-
duction to the wage level of Octo-
ber 81, 1919, or approximately 25
per cent. According to the state
nent, assurance has been given the
Washington miners that the union
would support them in resisting
any reduction, the international Of
ficials saying that the operators
sought to violate their wage agree
ment with the miners. This posi-
ton of the officers, it was an
nounced, was approved unanimous
ly today by the unions executive
