Coal Strikes In the Future.
PIrTsBuRG, May 4.-There is possibll-
ity that the great miners strike may be
settled. A conference was held yesterday
at the office of Francis Robbins, a large
operator. at which two authorized dele
gates from the Hooking valley district,
one from the Brazil Qnd,) field, one from
Illinois and representative of the Pitts
burg mines were in attendance. Presi-
dent Mcbride and Secretary McBryde, of
the National Mine Workers union, We're
called in consultation for information con-
cerning the demands Of the miners.
The result of the conference was call
issued by committee appointed by the
meeting for national convention of OPP
orators and miners to be held at Cleve-
President Mcbride and Secretary Nc
Bryde for the miners, and for the op-
orators by W. II, Gelcomb, Of illinois, J.
Smith Tai!ey, Of Inliauai J. s. Morton, of
Ohio, and f. L. Robbins, of Pennsylvania,
The question of wages was not discussed
at the conference, the main object being
corporation.
While neither operators nor miners rep
resentatives would talk much after the
meeting as to the basis of the compromise
expected at Cleveland, it is said the
miners idea will be to secure the appoint
ment Of an arbitration board on the En-
glsh plan, which will have full Sowrr TO
settle all local questions Of dispute, thus
putting stop to future general strikes
The meeting at Cleveland is expected to
be participated in by practically the en-
tire bituminous coal interests of the coun-
try, and settlement of the strike will
likely result.
After the conference here President Nc
Bride stated that there were now less than
24000 miners working in the country.
Should the strike be settled by confer
ence 1t will be the greatest victory the
miners have won in years. There are
5000 mines in the country, with an output
Of 100, ,oe0, 600 tons. Employed in them are
about l65,000 miners

sippi which the Industrial Army Leader
Will Gladly Accept.
DEs MONIES. Ia, May 4-Ons hundred
of General Kelly's army visited the capt
tol to ask Governor Jackson to secure
train for the army. General Weaver, Vice
President Van Horne, of the Trade and
Labor assembly; M. II. King local labor
leader, and Chairman Lowery, of the citi-
zens' committee, appealed to the governor
to help to get the army out OF Des Moines.
Governor jackson replied that he had
given the matter the gravest considera-
tion. He read the requests he had made
to all Iowa trunk lines, and the refusals
from each road to carry the men for less
than full fare. In conclusion the gov
ernor said
~ will lay the matter before the execu-
tive council of the state and see what can
be done. There is only one hope, and that
Is of securing sufficient funds to carry the
men to the Mississip,ra, river, unless Kelly
Will take ro.te down the river BY way
OF cincinnati. II Mr.. ..elly will take
p-uu ~a can get him to the river,
NE hopes that we may be able to get
him out of the state"
A committee appointed to confer with
Kelly found the general in mood to &C
cept almost any proposition.
.'If am furnished railroad transporta-
tion to the Mississippi" he said, II will
accept it gladly I had expected to go by
way of Chicago, but II cannot will do
the next best thing. We can go down the
river to the Ohio, and then follow that
stream up toward Washington By this
means / am certain can reach the ma
tional capital"
Governor jackson was informed of
Kclly's decision, and efforts are being
nude to get the men out of Des Moines.
Many of the Industrials had nothing but
bread for breakfast, and only 200 pounds
of meat were secured for dinner, but the
citizens committee said that by hard work
they hoped to get sufficient food to last
over today.
