OPERATORS AND RAILROAD RATES
NO REDUCTION AGREED ON AT CONFER.
ENCE OF INDEPENDENT MINE
OWNERS WITH PRESIDENTS.

Scranton, Penn, Oct II (SpeciaD.-The committee
of individual operators appointed to confer with
the presidents of the coal carrying railroads re-
turned from NewYork late last night, but had
nothing to say regarding reduction of the trans
portation rates. Nothing definite has been decided
they said, and they were reticent in speaking Of
any probable reductions. This phase of the strike
situation has assumed a serious aspect, and unless
some concessions made by the railroad com
panies the independent mine owners will find
themselves in awkward position. BY coop
Grating with the railroad companies when the ad-
vance proposition made, they viii be compelled
to grant the 10 per cent advance If the strike Is
settled on these terms 1t is open secret that
many of the individual have been operating
at loss for the last few years and they will GER
tainly refuse TO increase the loss by 10 per cent.

STRIKE In THE BALANCE.
DEPENDS on WHAT The OPERATORS
SAY TO THE CONVENTION DEMANDS.
IBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNE,

ASa IELE"hAfh 10 IRE IhIbbNE-J
Pottsville, Penn, Oct. 1.-THE SchuylkilI re-
gion delegates to the Scranton convention re-
turned to-day, and the prevailing impression
this evening is that the collieries will soon be
at work provided the operators agree to the
terms Of that body. Among the rank and file
there is inclination to accept the decision of
the convention. 1t is generally taken as a fact
here that the operators in the upper anthracite
belt will agree to the offer of the convention
and that the miners there are eager to go back
TO work at the advance which their employers
are willing to pay.
In the Schuylkill region, ii will be remembered
the men wert out largely on sympathetic
strike. and it is believed they will follow the
miners Of the upper belt back to work though
many are dissatisfied, because. according to
their reckoning in accepting the 10 per cent ad-
vance they are not getting all they were fghting
FOR. The convention demanded the abolition OF
the sliding scale by which the Reading COM
pany's twenty eight thousand miners nave al
ways been paid. This scale was fixed accord
ing to the price of coal at Port Carbon, ana was
always a small percentage either above or oeIo"
the 81 80 basis. The last scale fixed their wages
6 per cent above the 50 80 basis, and some
miners now argue that in reality they VIII De
getting only per cent advance
In contradiction of this the leaders say that
they VIII get 10 per cent net, or equal TO 10 per
cent above the basis. On the even 81 90 OASIS

There are many things left unsettled mat no
doubt will lead to further contentious WINE
these questions are being arbitrated in the next
few days. For instance. the Reading company
has been charging 81 30 a key for powder while
in the upper region the price has been 81 10
The convention said nothing about this, and IN
the Schuylkill region this commodity may be

There was a story ahoat to-day that the operators
will accept the conventions decision. but nothing
has come to TIE surface on which to base the
report.

now again waiting the operators and they will

President Mitchell and his associate officials how

mines until after the strike is declared off.
There is fear prevalent in this region that II
some of the men do return to work trouble would
