Bituminous Miners Voting Compromise Scale on MAY RETURN TO WORK SOON AalhrjcUe Strikers Will Rtmaln Oat lodilinltelj Eod ct BrUtsti Strike Near ill Band (Special to tne Evening ReN'ew). IXUIANAPOLIS. April 1 All bituminous and anthracite mines are idle today through the walking out ot 4UU.UU0 men. The bituminous miners will probably be on a strike but a few weeks, pending submission to a referendum vote the compromise reached last week. The anthracite men will probably be out longer, no agreement having been reached. The miners left pumpmen and others at work to protect the mines from flooding or other trouble due to a shutdown of the plants. In this respect the situation differs from the usual strike Suspension does not affect all the miners in the South, us the union not as strong there as It is in the North. The mines of Wyoming, Washington, Colorado and Montana also will not be affected, because the union contracts in those districts do not expire April 1. It is said the miners will lose $1, niHt.ouu every day they remain out and the suspension will cause a Iobb in coal production to the country of nearly 4'.'.ihi(i.moo ions a month. Willie the operators refuse to dis-. cuss what concessions they will be rebels. The problem ot arming them willing to make at the conference, hag been simplified by a decision of seti'lmetit throughout the mine tle t'nlted States authorizing, by regions Is that a 10 percent increase social permission in each case, the will be offered. Many of the work- Mexican government to buy maul ers are said to favor the acceptance tnn8 f war the I'nlted states and of sio h terms, but others want great- er concessions, especially the recog nition of t lie union. No disorder has been reported and none Is expected. Arrangements were completed to day for reopening negotiations to set He the wage dispute by an anthracite operators' and miners- conference to be held in Philadelphia on April 10. A month's suspension of the anthra cite mines is believed to he probable. M A.IOItl V (.' IIRITISII MINERS; I .WOK IIETI'ltX TO WOltK, i iivniiv Anril I.

Presi dent Madero. of Mexico, has decided upon a vigorous campaign against the rebels, and the American Gov ernment has consented to permit the shipment from the 1'nlted States of arms and ammunition for his sol diers.
