national union has decided against
separate state agreements.
"SOmetime in the future, perhaps,
an emergency might arise which would
change the situation.'
The operators asked Mr.. Harrington
to explain what he meant by an emer-
gency. He replied that he could not
say definitely at this time what emer-
gency might arise.

sidered by the operators to have been

reiterated previous statements in re
cent days that Illinois mines would
be closed down simultaneous with the
suspension Of work and that no effort,
so far as known now, would be made
| to operate.
