THE ALTOONA FIZZLE.
An Operator Tells Why the Confer
ence Was Broken on.


PHILADELPHIA, June u.-Wiliiam d.
Kelly. one of the committee Of butuminous
coal operators. who went to Altoona on
Saturday TO attend the conference with
the miners. has returned to his home in this
city. Il have had an experience of twenty
four years In coal mining" said Mr.. Kelly,
land this strike is the most sensational 1
ever knew Our miners in the Clearfield
district have made demand on us what
ever, and we do not know why they refuse
to work unless, through sympathy with
miners in other sections they want 10 stop
all coal production. our miners belong TO
no labor organization. The operators believe
they see signs OF a weakness among the
strikers. They are unable TO stop produc-
ton in Virginia and Maryland and this
fact operates very seriously against them.
AS TO our own miners, II they Will not work
Berwynd- % White % Company s re is WI" rushing Ming new s
men 70 its mines by the carload and fast
getting into condition to operate all its
mines. i think that the miners were de-
ceiyed az to the conference. While the oper-
ators were willing to meet delegates repre-
senting employees, although chosen by the
employees should be bound by the action of
their representatives. We had assurances
that such would be the case, but We think
this assurance was withheld from the
miners by the labor leaders About the first
thing we learned after reaching Altoona
was that before any action taken by the
men could be binding it would have to be
approved by National President Mcbride.
IL the employees could not act for themselves
we determined that conference use
less and so none was held, although several
operators had Informal talks with the work
men,"
The Berwynd-White company alone has
400 men idle in the Clearfield and Jeffer
son regions. 1t is the intention of the COM
pany TO begin work at one of the mines in
Jefferson county. Ii has shipped coal police
from Jersey City and Philadelphia TO guard
the new miners. If this force is Inadequate
a call for protection will be made upon the
State authorities

THE GOVERNOR LEAVES.
News of the Conference Did Not
Reach Him I'm Time.

Governor Matthews left yesterday after
noon for Danville, KY. before the news
reached the city that the Columbus con-
ference had settled the miners strike. 1t
is believed that had he received this infor-
nation he would have issued orders reia-
tive to the withdrawal of the troops from
the mining regior. of Sullivan county. In
the afternoon he ordered five companies
sent home, leaving the selection of these
companies TO General Mckee. The Gov
