Think a Strike Will Be Averted.

Pittsburg, Pa., Aug. I.—Vice-Presi-dent T. H. Chapman and Directors G. W. Schleuderberg and Alex Dempster of the coal operators’ association met the miners in a conference on the wage question yesterday. An arrangement was effected by which a strike will be averted. Vice-President Chapman said that there are many mines in the district that will pay the rate demanded temporarily. This rate is 69 cents per ton with company stores and 64 cents without them.
