CINCINNATI. Sept. 21.-The joint meet
ing of the conference committees of the
manufacturers and of the Amalgamated
Association of Iron and Steel Workers ad-
journed again tonight without reaching
an agreement the new wage scale for
puddlers and finishers. The representatives
of the Republic Iron and Steel Company
and of the American Steel Hoop Company
state that they may continue the confer
ence over into next week if there is any
prospect Of settlement. but If another day
is spent in vain. and there is no prospect
of settlement, except on the pending propo-
sitions, then they will arrange to start
some of the mills without the annual
agreement 1t is stated that this would be
left TO the different mills separately and ii
is the general opinion that the start would
be gradual. SO that those starting first
could be assisted by the others, but If the
Amalgamated Association signs a wage
scale all the mills will start at once. The
committees were together all day. The
main issue Is on the demand of s. per ton
for puddlers. based on 4-10 card rate for
iron The manufacturers ask a minimum
of the old sliding scale at a 1-cent card
rate. which would be $3.50 per ton, and
they insist that the price of iron will not
now justify more.

TALKS WITH OPERATORS.
None of Them Seemingly in Favor of
Arbitration.

NEW YORK, Sept 2.-President OIL
plant, of the Delaware & Hudson Canal
Company, said to-day: Our advces from
the mines report everything quiet to-day.

how much longer the strike will last. but

President Oliphant when asked whether
his company would be likely to engage out
side labor in the event of the strike last
ing over another two weeks. said: 81 do
not think we are likely to engage men in
the place of those who are now out Such
action invariably leads to trouble of the
most serious character, and We think too
much of our men TO replace them with out
sders."
William ". S. Thorne. vice president of
the Pennsylvania Coal Company, who made
a trip to the scene of the coal strike, re-
turned to this city to-day and presented the
companys view of matters in the anthra-
cite region as follows: Il have just re-
turned from the mines, where / had per-
sonal interview with each of our mine
and breaker foremen, who all assured me
that our men had expressed no dissatisfac-
ton whatever. but had simply struck be-
cause of what the labor agitators told
them, and because they had heard that
employees of other mines would strike ix
stoned and otherwise abused If they
reported for work. We are not making any
effort at present to run our mines, and
shall delay doing so until the local public
appreciate more fully the fact that our
miners already well paid, and until
such of our men as are disposed to work
can do so without being interfered with. /
believe the majority of our men, especially
the older ones, are opposed TO the strike
and would gladly resume work If assured
of being unmolested at home their
way to and from work On account of these
facts and because of the large number of
collieries working in other parts of the
anthracite region it does not seem probable
that the strike can be of long duration.
About our mines and breakers common la
Dor is paid from % to so cents per day more
than is customarily paid to laborers of the
same class in that vicinity. These rates
are as high as the coal market conditions
justify and compare most favorably with
wages paid for equally skilled labor in any
other industries"
Mr. Oliphant said that friends of his in
Philadelphia had written to him asking
whether he would meet the archbishop IN
this city. He had replied that he would be
pleased to meet the archbishop as a gentle
man or individual, but that he must de-
cline to recognize him a representative
of the miners. Mr.. Oliphant said that ar
bitration in this way is out of the question.
President Truesdale, of the Delaware,
Lackawanna & Western Railroad, said he,
too, must decline to receive Archbishop
Ryan as a strikers spokesman, but would
meet him in an individual capacity.
