members of the executive board Of the
Illinois miners met here this morning
to decide definitely whethr to accept
the operators offer Of separate wage

A decision to accept will put the
Illinois district in the class with rebels
against international authority, but it
will bring work to the 10000 union
miners OF the state on April when
most all other miners OF the country
are due to strike
Seriousness with which the board
members view the step they are to
take is seen in the fact that they have
already faced it twice without decis

wishes it is said will be their decision
