In a dramatic turn of events, the miners convention in Indianapolis has effectively quashed the threat of a general strike, leaving the fate of coal miners across the country hanging in the balance. The delegates, though fervent in their opposition to a strike, admitted that the chances of a walkout were nil. The question of whether the benefits recommended by Mitchell for the relief of anthracite miners could be extended to bituminous miners on strike was met with skepticism, prompting the convention to schedule an executive session for the afternoon.
