FAIL TO AGREE ON A SCALE.
Coal Operators and Miners Find That They
Are Far Apart.

Pittsburg. Nov. 24.-An important
conference Of river coal mine operators
and miners was held at the coal ex-
change yesterday. For some time there
has been a strike on among the river
miners. and it is estimated that there
are about 5000 diggers idle. The pre-
valing rate for some time has been 81
in the first. second and third pools, and
$l.50 in the fourth pool. The operators
say that owing to a dullness in the
southern market there has been little
demand for coal. and what Is disposed
of is at very low prices.
The diggers presented a formal de-
mand for 1886 in the first, second and
third pools, and s2.16 in the fourth.
The operators at once notified the COM
mittee that the price demanded could
not be paid, and offered a compromise.
They agreed to pay s2.25 in the first
three pools and s1.75 in the fourth The
committee was not empowered to ac-
cept a compromise and will submit the
proposition to their constituents.

Opposes the Passage of the Dingley Bill
and Wants n Protective Measure.
Cincinnati, Nov. 24.-The Commercial
Tribune prints this morning a long
article signed by General Grosvenor,
representative from the Eleventh Ohio
district, in which he outlines his views
as to the policy of the Republican
party. He says in the outset that he
expresses his own views, and does not
undertake to commit or represent any
other member of the party than him
self. Furthermore. he does not even
consent to bind himself to these views,
should the majority of his Republican
associates on the ways and means COM
mittee dissent from them. He says:
THE question of the hour, il seems to
me. so far as it relates to economic
legislation, is ought the Fifty fourth
congress in its closing session to pass
the Ding!ey bill, or should that meas
ure be allowed to perish and the Re-
publican party move forward to the
discharge of the high duty imposed
upon it by the recent election"
On these questions General Grosvenor
takes the position that although it
might be well if the Dingley bill be
passed for temporary relief, and be
followed Immediately after the 4th
of March in an extra session of con-
gress by the passage of a proper per-
manent measure, yet the passage of
that tentative bill will hinder and OBJ
struct the passage of a proper measure
and therefore should not be attempted.
He criticizes the Dingley bill for pro-
posing ad valorem duties, which have
proven standing invitations to defraud
| the government. This was one great
| defect of the Wilson bill, and it should
be remedied in future legislation, he
| says
| He says that IL the Dingley bill be
passed and permitted to run until De-
cember. 1897. and n new bill should
be introduced then congress would do

midst of a campaign for congress.
Meanwhile the country would be flood

injury of home Industries. the reduction

! ouent evils. From General Grosvenor's
close relations 10 President-elect Nc

their views on this matter very nearly
