DISHEARTENING.
Operators and Miners Conferenee
Will Come to Naught.
President Adams. of the Ohio Miners. Not
Alone In Holding Out Against Com
promise-The Operators Express
Great Confidence OF a Settlement.

COLUMBUS, o., June 1.-THE question
on everybody's lips here Sunday night
was ''Will the strike be settled Mon
day?" and nobody was able to find a
satisfactory answer. Opinions are
greatly divided but the aspect is grow
ing dark. and it now begins to look as
though this joint conference will result
in naught. The rule that settlement
must be general and affect all districts
involved prevents those that are dis
posed to compromise from entering
into any agreement with their oper-
ators.
1t developed Sunday evening that
after all President Adams, of the Ohio
miners, is not alone in holding out
against the compromise on 60 ano 60
cents, but that there are others who
are equally firm in opposition to it. 1t
is learned, furthermore, that an effort
has been in progress all day to
strengthen the opposition to any sort
of compromise. This effort has been
in the nature of kilograms from the
constituents of the miners delegates
urging the latter to stand firm and re-
fuse to accept anything save basis of
20 cents in Ohio, and 70 cents in the
Pittsburgh district.
The miners side of the scale commit
tee held a secret conference Sunday,
but what was done in it can not be
learned. While the operators are will
ing to talk to some extent the miners
absolutely refuse to have anything to
say for publication. One of the most
,+E, - -
unions stated confidentially Sunday
evening that he did not believe settle
ment would be reached Monday, and
he feared none would be attained by
this conference.
This places the matter in very dis
couraging light, and there is vigorous
endeavor on the part of advisers of the
miners to induce them to yield to a
compromise. Another prominent Off
Ger of the mine workers expresses the
same opinion as that given above.
On the operators side great conf
dence is expressed that settlement
will be reached on the basis proposed.
One big operator said that he had NO
doubt that Mondays meeting would
bring the strike to an end.
Notwithstanding this statement 1t is
learned that Pennsylvania operators
declare that the promises made by the
| operators from that state now here are
without authority.
| There is one thing certain. according
to the belief of every individual in a
position to form an intelligent opinion
and that is, if this conference fails in
it's mission, there will follow the most
terrible conflict since the civil war
The loss of life that will follow causes
shudder at the thought.
The conference is the critical pivo,
upon which turns this question, ant
realizing las everybody does. the extreme
gravity of the situation, all the coun
sellors of both operators and miners
are using every whit of influence tc
! get some sort of a compromise. This wa.
the only encouraging feature of the
conditions Sunday night, for it is be
lieved that the members of the scale
committee will use every means tc
