CHARLESTON, w. Va, oct. 14.-The
effort to adjust the differences between
the coal operators OF the Kanawha val
ley and their men has failed absolutely.
and President Ratchford left tonight
for Columbus, disheartened over his
failure.
Two conferences were held to-day be-
tween committee Of miners, including
President Ratchford and Chris Evans
and a committee OF operators. The
price offered by the operators was thirty
cents for soft and hfty-six cents for
hard coal. The miners accepted this.
but when the question Of a signed agree
ment to bind all the operators was pre-
gented, they objected. They wanted the
owner of each Individual mine to make
and sign n separate contract
This was the first disagreement, and
the second one was on demand made
by the miners that the men should not
be Disseminated against for not deal
ing at the company store The opera
tors refused TO agree to this, and the
conference was at an end.
President Ratchford feels bitter to-
ward the operators. lie said he came
here fully determined TO settle the
strike. The miners. he said, had con-
coded nearly every vital point, and he
was convinced that the operators were
determined to fight the miners organl-
zatlon in West virginia. He soya tho
1Eht will be continued on the part Of the
coal dlggers and he does not now hope
to see u settlement any time soon.
