Proposition Rejected By United Mine Workers in Indiana
In Indianapolis on Jan 80 the joint conference opened after reading last Saturday’s deadlocked proposals. Operators would base mining price on 0 cents per ton advance, 74 cents per ton in Hocking valley, with labor changes totaling an 18.086 cent rise per ton.

Operators’ committee rejected the miners’ counter, conference reports drew mixed cheers and jeers as both sides clowned the opposing demands.
