Officials Of the United Mine
Workers of America admit that
the miners failed to live up to the
agreement by striking. Griev-
ances are always disposed OF and
the men are expected to remain
at work and not lose any time. II
is reported that all Of yesterday
the day men were not. at work
and that this morning the miners
who wanted to work were kept
away by those who did not desire
to work.
Before leaving the city, officials
America said that the contract
must be put into effect by the
men. Mr.. McCleary said he ex-
pected to have the coal cutters at
work tonight and the men in the
pit as usual, tomorrow. 1t Is re-
ported that the mine had cars to-
day but the miners repudiated
their contract and would not
work. Officials have found that
conditions Of this sort have al
ways injured the cause Of collec-

The opinion is rapidly gaining
ground that there will 'be no strike

operators and miners have exper.

which neither want repeated. The
general belief is that something
