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.
