PARLEY ENDS COAL STRIKE OPERATORS AND UNION 8IQN CONTRACT FOR NEW PAV SCALE FRAMED BY COMMITTEE. OLD SYSTEM IS BROKEN TERMS OF SETTLEMENT BREAK OLD SYSTEM OF COLLECTIVE WAGE ADJUSTMENT. Cleveland. —The soft coal strike !■ broken and an agreement has been signed between the United Mine Work ers and operators, controlling an an nual output of 00,000,000 tons. The signing of the contract will actually end the strike in part. All details of the agreement were accepted In princi ple by both miners and operators, and the actual draft of the contract wai left to a subcommittee. As a result of the progress made by operators and miners. Gov. Harry I* Davis of Ohio announced he would cull off the conference of governors of five coal producing states that was to have met in Cleveland to consider the strike situation. He also an nounced that he would withdraw Ohio militiamen who were sent into the coal fields recently. No exact estimate of the number of miners who will be put bock to work under the settlement was obtainable, but varied between GO,000 and 75,000 men. Altogether there are 450,000 soft coul miners on strike, union officials said. It is expected by them that the other operators will accept the settle ment effected nt Clevelande, but mean while the strike will continue at their mines. The terms of the settlement mark a breakdown in the system of collective bargaining that lias grown up in the soft coal industry since 1884. It means the abandonment for the present at leust of the central competitive field, comprising western Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana and Illinois, as the basis for fixing wages In fields out side the four states. In the past wage contracts have been made for the central field, and those of outlying districts have been fixed on the cen tral field scule. This is not the first time, however, thut the wage-making machinery on the central field basis has broken down. It failed In 1000, and was not fully re-estubllshed until 1010. The new plan of settlement Is a fundamental change In the policy of the United Mine Workers of America and for that reason the union policy committee of 128 members was called to pass on It. Withdrawal of soft coal operators controlling an annual output various ly estimated at from 5,000,000 to 15,- (KM),000 tons from the Joint wage con ference because of the miners’ refusal to accede to a demand for arbitration to settle future disputes did not dis rupt the conference. The split in the conference cams during sessions of the subscule com mittee. For three days Mr. Gallagher, president of the Pittsburg Vein Oper ators’ Association of Ohio, supporting a demand for compulsory arbitration, and President John L. Lewis of the miners, who was unalterably opposed to the demand, had been unable to reuch an agreement. All provisions, except this one, hud been agreed to by them, but all the work was covered again in drafting the contract because of new operators being culled into the conference. Philadelphia.—Prospects of peace in the anthracite coal mines of Pennsyl vania appear brighter now than at any time since the suspension became ef fective on April 1, rendering Idle ap proximately 105,000 men. Negotiations between the operators and repiesentatives of the miners, broken off June 14 when the mine owners’ arbitration proposal was re jected, will be resumed and the concil iatory tone of messages between Sam uel D. Wan.lner, head of the operators’ negotiating committee, und John L. Lewis, president of the United Mine Workers, arranging the conference was said by those in close touch with the situation to presage an early sat tiement of the difficulties.
