FUND All Districts "Will Stand TogeUier and Every Mine In Country Be ? Tied Up Till Advance of Wages Is Won. I.ATTNG IX 6UPTIJE8 OF COAI. CLEVELAND, Feb. 1. Vast quantl- ties of soft coal are belnp stored in vessel at .lake ports In anticipation of s- possible strike of the miners. Oper ators are paying In some cases IS cents a ton storage charges on board vessels. INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., Feb. 1. The re jection of the counter-proposition offered by the coal operators of the central com petitive district by an almost unanimous vote of the National Convention of the United Mlneworkers, and the adoption of a resolution offered by Secretary Ryan, of 3sssssssssssssssHL'?.,'" John Mitchell, PreMdent of United MiHeworkers of America. Illinois, placing the miners on record as a unit ini refusing to sign an agreement for any district until an agreement was signed for all districts under the jurisdiction of the United Mlneworkers, has created a situation which, Jn the opinion of the offi cials of the miners organization, will re :8lt in the disruption of the joint agree ment and probably one ot the greatest strikes of organized labor the country has ever .known. Conference Fails to Agree. The action took place during a called session of the miners, which was called to order immediately after a short session of the joint conference of operators and min ers, during which the Joint scale com mittee reported that It had been unable to reach an agreement on any of the prin cipal questions involved, and after P. L. Bobbins, of Pittsburg, floor leader of the operators, had replied to President Mitch ell's question that the operators had no further proposition to lay before the min ers, concluded his remarks with the statement that, if there was to be an in terruption of the joint agreement, he wished the responsibility for such a sev erance of relations to be placed upon the miners. The counter-proposition submitted by the operators, which was said to be their ultimatum, provided for the signing for another year of the present wage scale, with certain modifications to reimburse the Illinois operators for expenses in curred under the "shot-fircrs' " bill now effective in that state. Provide Huge Strike Fund. Immediately after the rejection of the operators' proposition the convention set about to provldo means for accomulating a 'strike fund of 56.000,000 In addition to a like amount now on deposit In the Inter national, district and sub-district treas uries of the miners' organization. To provide for an emergency Secretary Wil son moved that a per capita tax of Jl a week be voted and that all districts tako care of the dependent miners within their jurisdiction for at least six weeks. Ho said that after that time he believed tho international organization would be In a position to take care of the miners. Af ter the motion had been amended to sub stitute ten weeks, for six as the time dur ing which the districts should care for their dependents, the matter was referred to the international executive board with power to act. "Last Hope Tills Morning. Delegates who chose to do so left for their homes tonight. Others remained for the final session of the joint conference in the morning. This will be for the formal adjournment of the interstate conference, the recess of this afternoon having been taken to allow the miners' convention to ratify or reject the reports of the scale committee. In this last mooting lies the "only hope. If hopo can exist, for a settlement of the dispute. Action Means Strike. Mr. Wilson said: "According to my understanding, the adoption of this motion means a strike." Mr. Wilson said that the -finances of the national organization wcro not at present In condition to take care or the full mem bership in a long strike and for this rea-. son he moved the assessment per capita of ?1 per week till April 1 and that each district tako care of Its dependents for the first six weeks. Operators expect strike ( Misers May Start Hardest labor Struggle In History. NEW YORK, Feb. 1. (Special.) The news from Indianapolis that tho break had . coma Tetween the mincworkers and tha coal operators resulted In conferences ajHong .big financiers tonight In tho ex pectation that the decision would have as ill effect on the stock market tomorrow. The announcement of the break came too late to have any effect on the railway list ioaay, out it is expected that shares ot the coal-carrying railroads will be under xnndit.l.lA t--i - - j. r, vvtunuqiooic i;iuure r nosy, inu lintin clers were busy tonight preparing to pro tect their seeuritlen. It is admitted on all sides that the sit uation is decidprilv unrlnim anA flint h strike, which now seems inevitable, will oe tne nardest-fought struggle In the his lory of the labor movement In thr eoun try. Not only will the number of men and the Important interests Involved over shadow any previous labor struggle, but j i o icarro mat mo strike win result in disorders that mv mean thi. fnlllno Intn service to preserve order of the entire Na tional uuara or several states. None Of the officials of ihn e-nnl ntnris would discuss the matter tonight, though all admitted privately that they could see no prospect of avoiding a strike, now that me conicrencc nas seen unaoie to reach an agreement. A high officer of the Read ing said: "There will be no general advance in wages and the miners mlcht as up their minds to this at once. They have snowa no desire to make anj concessions but have insisted that their demnnrk h granted in full. As they say they want war, the mine operators will have to give u w uiem io protect tneir business, al thouch all wanted the trouble Mtti" There is talk tonight of appealing to President Rooset'elt to use his influence to settle tne matter without a strike, but Just what he could do in the matter is not clear. GDASSWORKERS MAY STRIKE Union and Independents Fall to Combine Against Trust. CLEVELAND, O.. Feb. 1. Charging a breach of faith on tho part of tho manu facturers and Jobbers, the officers of the Amalgamated Window Glassworkcrs of America tonight declared that all negotia tions were off for a. settlement of the wage differences which have been pending for several months." The workors assert that. Instead of a lowering of wages, the owners ot the factories may find wages increased. The effort to organize the independent glas factories Into one body ended in a failure. Tho situation affects GO00 glass workers. It was the wish of the workers that the manufacturers get together and consolidate Into an organization tliat could light the trust. The glassworkers were willing to assist, even to the lower ing of wages. ALT READY TO GO TO JAIIi Whole Chicago Printers Union Wants to Work Out Fine. CHICAGO. Feb. 1. Five hundred mem bers'of Typographical Union No. 35 voted unanimously yesterday to jro to Jail. As they are on strike they estimated they might save the 51000 fine assessed against the union by Judge Holdom If they were permitted to work out the amount In prison. After the resolution was adopted a committee was sent to W. H. Bamum to learn if there was any hope for the strikers breaking Into Jail, and In that manner satisfying Justice. They were disappointed when their attorney told them that if the fine was upheld by tho higher courts It would have to be paid, and that there was no nrnsnert of th debt being liquidated by the strikers going io j an.
