Meade was on duty last night on the

NO SIGNS OF A COMPROMISE.
Cleveland Coal Strike Conference
Likely to Pe a Failure.
Many Operators Start for Home and
Strikers Stand Firm.
(By Associated Press.)

CLEVELAND. o., May T.-This u
the gloomiest day of the big coal confer
ence, and possibly it will be the last.
The miners and operators before the
Convention was called to order seemed
as far apart as they ever were, and at
the Hollenden and Weddell, where the
operators are quartered, the belief
seems to be general that when evening
comes the conference will come to an
and without the conferrees having
reached anything approaching a settle
ment.
Not even a modus vivendi, whereby
the country may be supplied with coal
and the question of wages discussed at
another time, Is expected. The Conven-
tion was called to order shortly after
0 o'clock, and Chairman Zerbe asked
for a report OF the Conference Com
mittee. Every delegate in historic Case
Hall knew just what it would be. that
no agreement could be reached, ana
there were no surprises In that.
The miners had been informed by the
morning newspapers of the belief ex.
pressed by the operators that President
Mcbride could not keep the men on
to dispel what they called delusion
upon the part of their employers. They
pointed to the fact that strikes 80 COM
plete and far-reeching in its results, are
not declared off by the strikers when
they have so much to encourage and DO
little to discourage them.
Secretary Patrick j. McBryde has IN
sisted all along that no settlement can
be made because the operators nave not
yet felt the rigors of Il complete tie-up.
Many operators started home last night,
leaving their proxies, and some went
away this morning, so that the Conven-
tion when IT was called to order con,
sisted of not more than three hundref
delegates There were four hundred an
one on the first day.
The small operators expect the large.
ones to make an effort to break tn
strike. as they, especially those FROM
Pittsburg, who have taken contracts u
deliver about SOC. 900 tons of coal to rai(f
roads and for the lake trade for froE
$l.90 to $2.l7, prevented a settlement. ,E
