he reconsider his action and enter the
conference gain to ensure succ SIS of the
plan. Ike said ,tha's he would cordially
lnuOfse and cooperate in any plan the
conference agreed upon if so per cent of
the distric. operators would give their
conEent to the same. He believes il i'm
possible to secure 81 per cent. to the uni
formity agreement, as Mr.. DearmItt de-
mands, and he is willing to do az so per
eent. of the operators wish. The new
agreement states that uniformity, il
promptly and properly awaited of. will
settle the difficulties to a large extent
and correct business to a dtgree not here
tofore aitadnable.
Tonight General Little and Judge
owens are in secret conference at the
Duquesne club with Secretary William
Warner and Organizer Cameron Miller
Nothing definite can be learned as to
the subject under discussion but 1t is be-
Iieved it has reference to having the
miners represented at the meeting to-
morrow as the best means of consider
ing the difficulty with Mr.. Dearmitt's an
nouncsment today that the difference
was not for the purpose of considering
the strike but merely for the purpose of
establishing uniformity. Many of the
operators think that, with Colonel Rend
the meeting should devise some means
to settle the strike as well as to provide
for uniformity.
Reports to the miners officials from
throughout the district show everything
quiet. All plans are being held in abey-
ance pending the action of the confer
ence.

THREATENED VIOLENCE.

Enraged Men Go Out on Strike and
Narrowly Avert Serious Trouble
Altoona. Pa. July 27.-Five hundred or
more miners at Hastings have gone out
on strike because the operators of the
MITCHELL and Sterling mines refused to
accept the scale adopted by them on Sat-

the scale, the Sterling does, but Supern-
tendent Nicholson is obnoxious to them
because he ~deducts a certain amout
from the men on one car out of five. The
miners made demonstrations and threat
ened to burn the tipple.
The men at the Nicholas mine are pre-
pairing to ge to headquarters with their
grievance 2 believing that Superintend-
ent Nicholson is operating the mines for
the Sterling Coal company. AS Hastings
is the president they will place the mat
ter before the governor, hoping he will
