A Weak Hope That Some Miners
Will Keep Contracts.
SUPPLY FOR THREE MONTHS.
indianapolis, June 23.—It is esti-
mated by W. B. Wilion, secretary and
tmuHiitr of the United Mine Workers
<>f America, that the present supply of
bituminous and anthracite coal above
ground would be exhausted in less
than three months if there should be a
general suspension of work in the
mine*.
According to this estimate, if the na-
tional convention of mine workers in
Indianapolis, July 17, should vote for
a general suspension of work in suj>-
port of the anthracite strike, as is now
propose I. the vast industrial machinery
of the t nited States would be handi-
capped for fuel, so that thousands of
factories would have to suspend work.
Mr. Wilsou ha statistics showing
there are approximately 450,000 miners
in the country, scattered through
thirty states The miners of twenty-
four states would be actively involved
if there should be a suspension of oper-
ations. There are now over 300,000, or
two-thirds of the miners in the country
organized.
