Captain Thomas of the Pennsylvania operators defined his position as an in- dependent operator and sald he came to the couvention in the bellef that the “1 advocated the presemt scale aix weeks ago, aud I was honest. I now advocate the payment of the advanced scale, and I am honest. I am convine- od that we must pay the advange or the miners will strike through great strikes. Some of you 't kmow what a strike means, Some there will be destroyed It Is not & question of #0 you operators to Open up your I am spot in poll: taking this position for y other oa than because I believe prevention of a strike is to the bast intarests of my eompanies.” H.

Mr. Winder asked Mr. Thomas what g i 31x ni 2 : H : i HT E B 8 the New Eugland Ooal company, the Northery Fuel company and the Tay- lor-Hix-Willlams company.” Mr. Winder, in making & motion fo adjourn sine die, sald: “It seems to me we have resched the limit of dlscus- sion upon the question of the wage scale for the ensuing year. If 1 felt that anything further could be accom- plished by holding this convention lug: er I would be glad to have it doue, but I see no possible hope of accomplish- ing suything at this time.” The adjournment sine die leaves af: falrs In such a condition that a strike of 275.000 miners seems probable at the expiration of the present scale to- mMOTTOW.
