GOAL STRIKE NEU5IS OPERATORS KEEP EYES OA MIXERS' CONVENTION. Plans for Reopening Properties Held In Abeyance Until After Today's Meeting. SEATTLE, cial.) With Wash., July 31. (Spe a. sDeclal state district convention of the United Mine Work ers scheduled to open In the Seattle labor temple tomorrow morning and with mine operators holding plans for reopening their mines in abey ance pending the miners' meeting, there were strong Indications today that a crisis in the long drawn out strike In the open market coal mines of the state would be reached this week. The miners convention' has been called to consider the grave situa tion brought about by the failure of peace negotiations that were under taken by Edward Clifford, state di rector of labor and industry, when he appointed a committee headed by Jam H. Allport of Barnesboro, Pa., a noted mining engineer, to make a survey of the coal industry of the state and to recommend a plan for settling the strike and reopening the mines. .

Most of the 24 mines closed by the strike have been operated under union agreements for the last 15 years and at the time of the strike the state district was 100 per cent unionized. The 24 mines closed have produced in the past about 90 per cent of all coal mined for the open market in this state. The strike has been on more than four months, having be gun March 15, when the mineworkers refused to agree to the restoration of the wage scale that was In effect dur ing the war and up to November 1. 1919, that scale averaging about 24 per cent lower than the 1920 scale under which the men were working up to the date of the strike. Aboul 2800 men are Involved. LIFE GUARDS SAVE PAIR Couple Narrowly Escapes Drown ing at Columbia Beach.
