An official statement from the offices of the American Federation of Labor today Bays: "Present Indications are that there will be a general suspension of min ing both in bituminous and anthracite mines. All efforts to adjust the dif ferences between the miners and operators has so far failed."

The miners demand a flat rate per ton mined and un increase of 10 cents a ton over the average price now paid. They also want shorter working hours. As an offset to the miners' de mands, the operators ask a 10 per cent reduction in the present rate.
