AMERICAN COAL MINERS. PENNSYLVANIA MEN. SUSPENSION OF WORK WILL BE AUTOMATIC. By TelegraDh.— Press AsEoclatlou.— Copyright. (Received April 2, 12.10 p.m.) NEW YORK, Ist April. One hundred thousand miners on the Pennsylvania, coalfields will suspend work. Conferences between, tho owners and men's representatives are still proceeding. A vote has yet to be taken by the miners as to whether they will strike. A strike would affect the whole coal industry. It is declared that suspension of work will be automatic, in consequence of the expiry of the men's agreements. • [The demands of 200,000 miners on the bituminous fields, in Ohio, for a 10 per cent, increase in wages and shorter hours have been rejected by the owners (stated a. cable message in the Sydney Sun on. the 26th March). The negotiations may continue until Monday, when the unionists' policy committee will meet. There are 150,000 miners in other States whoso decision as to whether they should strike depends upon the negotiations now in progress. A prominent union official declared to-day that if no agreement is reached by Ist April the men will quit the mines.] ,
