by tbe question of the prioe the miner*
will be Mked in the future to pay for

give tbe men 10 per cent, more in
wages than they paid before tbe strike
began, bat insiit in figuring that in

miners apparently want to go baok to
work for tbs 10 per oent. advsnoejand
arbitrate tbe question whether they
are to get powder obeaper aa an addi
tional condition. It is not believed
that the mine owners wllty grant
any such demand and a refasal may
mean an indefinite prolongation of
the strike.
President Mitobell,|wben asked re
garding another convention to disease
the powder question, said be preferred
not to answer whether there would be
on*. When asksd whst the prospeota
for an early ending of tbe strike were
