INDIANA MINERS SUSPENDED

Working Clothes and Tools Are Removed by the Workers.

Indianapolis, April I.—With the blowing of the whistles at 5 o’clock Thursday afternoon at the coal mines, all the miners quit work and announced to the mine bosses that they would not return today. Many of them removed their tools from the mines and all of them, carried away their working clothes, which they usually leave over night. Pump men, stable boys and a few men who have charge of the mine property but are members of the union •will be permitted to remain at work temporarily at least. There was no disorder at any of the mines. The Indiana miners and® operators--will hold a conference at Terre Haute next week and a settlement may be reached.
