Last Wages Go Into

INDIANAPOLIS, April 8.
Idle coal miners of the
country, starting today and
continuing next week, receive
their last pay, estimated at
$4,000 90 by union officials
ind regarded by them as a strike
fund
The big wase distribution, and i'm
Iportant factor in the miners ability
TO continue h general suspension of
work that began a week ago. on the
order of the United Mine Workers OF

NMarch-fn all. fifteen working days.
The big gum is several times the total

the miners with n indefinite period OF
idleness ahead of them 1t is the only
big cash payment that will come dur
ing tho suspension. the union war

benefit.
As most OF tho anthracite mines were
kept on full time IN March and the
bituminous mines generally operated
almost two-thirds of the time, the
miners LIST pay is among the best
sums ths men have received for Sow
erai months. The exact mount and
its apportionment IN variouu coal
fields. is not a certainty but William

declared hat $50. 900 900 is a very con,

For the anthracite miners MI.
Green estimated that 8 7.5oo.o 900 was

From both the uuiou and operators

miners would receive on the average
