ILLINOIS COAL
MINES TO OPEN
NEXT MONDAY

Illinois coal mines, closed since
April /, will be reopened Monday.
This was the prediction of persons
in close touch with the situation and
was made despite the continued ada
mant attitude of Illinois operators
against accepting the proposals of
the Cleveland conference.
The prediction was based on the
expected outcome of the conference
held this week between the three
Illinois operators associations with
Frank S. Harrington, president of the
Illinois miners unions.
