That Is the Point Upon Which
They Differ.
nARDsHIPS OF THE COAL STRIKE
When the Picks Are Idle Thousands
of Men Are Forced Out of
r.. Employment.

F. CLEVELAND, Chic, May 16.--The min
ers. to-day perfected a scsls:. Of wages. 1t
calls. for rate OF 70 cents 10 the Pittsburg
district a: 50-eent rate in PepDsy vania,; 20
in jackson and Hooking Valley, Ohio, so
to S5tn MassiFon, Ohio, 20 to so in Iddi-
ana and 70 to IS in Illinois.
F. The joint committee remained in session
until-6 O'clOckathIs evening: when an: ad-
jOurnment was taken. aud 1T was an
nOunced that no agreement. had been
reached. The miners refused to recede
from their demand for restoration of the.
old rate and the operators, in. the absence
of instructions, could make no concessions.
The operators are holding another meet
ing this evening to decide whether they
shall make the men another offer or give
w the attempt to settle the strike. WheB
the conference reassembles in the morning
the committee will make its report and
definite action Will be taken.
The operators to-day continued ther
efforts to unite upon plan. The Pitts
burg rail men and the Ohieans are still far
apart. the latter cODtending that the
miners will not listen to proposition to
esta blish rate OF 65 cents for PittsbGrg
with drfferential of 9 cents in favor of

what the Pittsburg men are now paying
and Il cents below the miners demand.
At the meeting o! operators it was an
nounced that the Pennsylvania operators
had agreed upon rate of 65 cents for
Pennsylvania and 56 cents for Hooking
Valley. This was pronounced satisfactory
to the Ohio operators. II was. agreed that
a committee of five members from each
State be appointed to agree upon the scale
to be presented to the convention. and
recess was taken.
At The afternoon session tie scale COM
mittee made its report. and the entire aft
eTnoon was devoted to a discussion of that
report The convention got no further
than the conditions of the scale. all of
which. with the exception OF one, were
agreed 10. The one condition upon which
an agreement was not reached was passed
over for want of time. The scale is not
made public as yet, neither are the eondi-
tiOus given out. but,itis said the conyeu-
ton has thus far been unanimous in In:
dorsing tbs work of the scale committee.
The operators met to- night aud received
the report of the personalities on joint
scale committee, which was that no agree
ment cOEld be reached with the miaers on
the committee. The operators approved
their ACTION in the committee, and gave
them a*vote of confidence. Therefore the
wage question will be thrown back on the
general. convention TOMORROW morning.

tering here will be crippled seriously. The
supply. OF soft coalw last only few days
at The most. Some concerns will use hard
coal; among them the UHiOn' Steamboat
t Company. Its soft coal supply will be ex-
hausted tomorrow. The railroads are
somewhat bet er off, having laid an en-
| barge, on. all soft coal In transit here. The
New YoIK Genital and the Erie supply

laid off. The supply of coal is nearly ex-
hauStrd.

PITTsBURG, May 16.-A coal famine
which has been threatening this city for
some time is now practically an estab-
lished reality. The problem Of how to gel
more has already passed the serious stage.

pended business entirely and are simply
waiting for the strike to end. Nearly
| every business house in the city is running
short of fuel for boilers. The result Of the
