THE AGREEMENT IS FINAL Ouly One Member of the Scale Committee Objects to Signing. TO GO INT 3 EFFECT NEXT MONDAY? Week*! Delay Granted So That the Miners May Present the Scale to Other Districts mid Prevail Upon Workmen to Accept It as the Best Thing Obtainable — Southeastern Ohio Miners and Operators Further Apart Than Ever. Indiana Militia Withdrawn From Recent Scenes of Action and Fart Re- ' called—Trial of the Accused Murdereif of Englnei-r Barr—General Status of the Strike. I Columbus, 0., June 12.—Last night marked the approach of the final acts in the great coal strike. One conference at least has reached an agreement, and if the miners give indorsement to the action by accepting its terms there seems little dQfJbWhat the settlement will be general. There is some donbt, however, concerning this, as many are the protests which have been filed against any sprt of compromise. , The scale committee appointed by the conference ot miners and operators for the district comprising western Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana and eastern Illi-. Hois, contrary’ to expectation when it met yesterday, announced just before supper that it had reached an agreement and that it was being drawn up. The terms were not formally announced, but it was then said to be provided that it was to go into effect Monday, June 18, the miners de.-iring to have a week to submit the matter to various districts and to prepare the miners for its acceptance. Terms of the Ratified Agreement. At the joint conference last night the agreement was ratified. A. A. Adams, president of the Ohio miners, who was a member of the scale committee, refused to sign the agreement. The settlement, however, is final. The scale agreed upon is as follows: Pittsburg, thin vein, 69 cents; thick vein, 56 cents. Hocking valley, 60 cents. Indiana bituminous, 60 cents. Indiana block. 70 cents. Sweater, Ills., 62 1-2 for summer and 70 for winter. Bloomington, Ills., 77 1-2 for summer and 85 for winter. La Salle and Spring Valley, Ills,, 72 1-2 for summer and 80 for winter. Other sections in northern Illinois fields at prices relative to the above. Coal in Pittsburg district going east to tide water shall pay the same mining price as that paid by the Pennsylvania Gas and Westmoreland Coal companies. Conditions Provided. ' The scale of prices will be in effect and bind both parties thereto beginning June 18, 1894, and continuing until May 1. 1895; provided that the above named scale of prices for the Pittsburg district shall be generally recognized and observed. The operators and miners shall co-operate in their efforts to secure a general observance of said priqes. and if during the period covered by this agreement a general recognition, of the pricey herein named cannot be secured party to this agreement may call a meeting of the joint board of arbitration and determine whether the agreement has been sufficiently complied with to warrant its continuance. • Effect to Be Seen. While it has been announced that the agreement is final, its effect upon the miners remains to be seen. The faqt that fully’ a week will intervene before the agreement takes effect leads to the belief that the determination of the miners to accept no compromise can be mollified. A majority of the operators left for their homes immediately after the adjournment of the conference. Those who could be seen were confident that the agreement would bring 'Sbout a speedy settlement of the strike. E. B. Bent of La Salle, Ills., was of the opinion that the settlement in northern Illinois would influence the southern part of that state to come into line. WORSE THAN BEFORE. Southern Ohio Miners Insist on Larger Wages and Their Conference Fails. Pomeroy, 0., June 12.—The conference of the operators and miners here yesterday left matters in worse shape than before. Forty delegates were in attendance, representing 18 mines in the district, but only the operators from the Ohio side appeared. They refused to vouch for West Virginia operators. The miners stated that in case of satisfactory settlement work would resume as soon as approved by’ the national board. The miners then made a proposition of mining for 2 1-2 cents per bushel, an increase of 1-4 cent over last year’s rate. The operators flatty refused to consider the proposition and left the conference without making an offer. The conference adjourned without day. The meeting was most animated and considerable bad feeling was engendered. Wws of the Reading Clerk. Washington, June 12.—The reading clerk of the house of representatives has had a pleasant time of it with the Indian appropriation bill now under consideration in committee of the whole, but his woes began with the latter part of the bill, which contains page after page of treaties in which figure distinguished Indian names. The clerk has no trouble with George Washalike, Abraham Lincoln, James Buchanan, or even Colum bia Joe. California John, Chinese Frank and Sam Squartein, but there is tun at the desk when he reaches Mr. lacahkdoskawa Kanna, whose other name is Jonah Omaho Zetkanaciqana, whose favorite squaw calls him Little Bird; and when he has to pronounce Snnkawakuwa, who is renowned among his intimate friends as Dog-Chaser, ana other similar ones.
