An ultima- tum to this effect was laid before the operators’ committee of ten at the meet- ing in the Trunk Line offices at No. 143 Liberty street. Ie was presented by President John P. White and his fellow delegates of the Untted Mine Workers, and set forth the miners’ regret ever the position taken Dy the eperdtors and etated that the prepesition to renew the present agree- ment for three years “does not appeal to us nor to the people we represent.” Tue reply of the miners is much temperate than it was expected ft would be, Late last night, so it is understood, the miners had prepared @ statement of about three thousand words which was an appeal to the pub- Me for sympathy and support. But som@thing happened around midnight ‘and this statement was cast aside and the ultimatum presented to-day sub- stituted.
