---#—- MINER’S STRIKE SETTLED. AU Mines Will Now be tn Operation in Vlke County. Tuesday evening the S. W. Little coal company, operating mines at Littles and Blackburn, signed the Pitts-burg-t’hicago scale of prices and men went to work Wednesday morning. The company takes back all the old employes in the order that they register at the company’s office, and as we are informed none are debarred from work. Everything is satisfactory to all concerned, and the old employes feel highly eleated over the actions of the company. The strike began May 1st when every coal miner in Southern Indiana laid down their tools and asked the operators to sign the Pittsburg-Chi-cago agreement. The struggle then begun. A few of the coal operators signed the scale and went to work, the others, holding out until the pres-ent-time. The boys are well pleased that the strike has terminated and are at work again for their old employers. Work commenced \Vednesday at the Little’s mines, and work at Blackburn will begin shortly. Wednesday morning 9the operators of the Ayrshire mines signed the scale and work was also commenced there at once, and in a few days all will be ! running as smooth as it was previous to the strike. The trouble was settled through efforts of State President Van Horn and Fred Dilcher, member of the executive board of the United Mine Workers. The Democrat coffgratu-* lates all concerned in the settlement of the strike.
