Quiet in coal regions as strike talks stall
Hamilton May 17 regions around here are quiet as both sides await developments. President Mitchell reports no communication on settlement talks and has heard nothing from Senator Hanna or other Cyrus Federation members. Operators say they have shut down indefinitely and fear renewed strife if work resumes. Illinois bituminous operators expect possible sporadic action but not a general suspension. Herman Justi of Chicago predicts soft coal workers will help financially while seeking a broader settlement with anthracite and operators. Presidential nominations listed later in Washington May 14 include George Randolph for U S attorney in Tennessee and several postmasters in various states.
