MAY END THE STRIKE.

Leaders Take Steps Toward Settlement— Situation at Many Points. Columbus, 0., June 6.—The executive board of the United Mine Workers, after a session lasting all day and far into the night, passed a series of resolutions setting forth that, as a general conference of operatorsand miners for the settlement of the strike was not possible, next Saturday meetings should be held in every district with operators and miners for the purpose of making a settlement. This means that the miners will do all in their power to declare the strike off. The action is directly due to the efforts of John Mcßride, against the united voice of the.board, which was for a continuance of the strike on the old lines. The move for conciliation was made at the night session after a heated discussion, every member of the board being against any form of compromise. Mcßride labored with the men at great length, and the result was the passage of the resolution. It is understood the district officers have power to settie the strike in their various districts and that they are supreme in their findings. Many members of the board declare nothing substantial will come of it.
