" AGH CONFERENCE
TO BIB ONE-SIDED
Operators Decline to Talk on
Labor Troubles
Father Philips Appeals to Ills Parish
iOners Net 10 Go on Strike
Ii Ordered

1lazleton, Pa, Aug. g7-The United
Mine Workers Of the anthracite coal
region have invited the operators to
meet them here IN joint conference this
afternoon for the purpose OF agreeing
on wage scale and the settlement OF
number OF grievances presented
through a committee appointed for
that purpose at the convention held in
this city two weeks ago. From present
indications not an operator will be
present, SO no joint conference will be
possible What will be done then by
the convention is a matter OF doubt
Only a few OF the two hundred or
more delegates who win represent the
various mine workers locals OF the
three anthracite districts are on the
ground aud II rests entirely with
them what action will be taken.
There have been frequent reports
that a strike would be ordered II the
operators refused TO grant the conces-
sions demanded, but the mine work
ers. ais stated In their bin Of griov-
ances. are not in favor OF striking un-
tn all means for an amicable adjust
ment OF existing differences have been
exhausted. Hence the convention may
agree on another plan for securing con-
cessions from the operators.
Father Philips, of st. Gabriers
church. whose membership consists
principally Of miners employed at the
c0llieries herenbouts. appealed 20 the
men Of his congregation yesterday not
to go on strike if one should be order
ed. He said that he was taking no
sides, but was simply speaking from
his heart and for the good Of the men
themselves. Rev. Father Peruzzi. of
the Italian church, gave his congrega-
tion advice similar TO that given by
Father Philips.

majesty needed some money. 1t did
not come, even after she had sent n

"There must be mistake. your I'M
