STILL IN CONFERENCE
Officials of Miners Union Have Not
Reached Conclusion.
COMPLICATIONS IN SITUATIONS
Operators Complying With De-
mands to Resume Work Soon.
MAY TAKE HAND

HAzLETON, Pa, October 25.-The con-
ference of the national and district officers
of the United Mine Workers which began
yesterday, was resumed this morning The
indications are that 1t will be late tonight
before the labor officials can come to
definite conclusion as to the manner of end
Ing the mine workers strike. There is
bare possibility that the anxiously- awaited
announcement will not be made public until
tomorrow. This delay is occasioned by the
complication which has arisen through the
different notices that have been posted.
Some of them entirely satisfactory to
the labor officials, while others in certain
particulars do not comply with the de-
mands of the Scranton miners convention.
A new difficulty presented itself today
when the Lehigh and Wilkesbarre Coal
Company posted a supplemental notice at
its colieries in the Hazleton district to the
effect that the company will pay its men
21e cents additional on a car of coal to
make up the 10 per cent increase in wages.
The notice says nothing about aboishing
the sliding scale. does it guarantee the
payment OF the increase until April.
Vital Points to Miners.
To the mine workers these are two vital
points. These notices are the same as
those previously posted by the company at
its mines in the Wikesbarre district, where
the sliding scale never existed
In what manner the United Mine Work.
ers officials will overcome these obstacles
is not known The belief grows stronger,
however, that the strike will be declared
off at the mines of those companies that
have complied with the resolutions Of the
Scranton convention, and that the contest
will be continued against other operators
that have not fallen into line II this
ton is taken it iS not unlikely that the
railroad men will be drawn into the contest
to the extent of refusing to handle the coal
OF these companies.
The statement to be issued will be drawn
by President Mitchell and will not be given
publicity until it has been approved by the
labor officials in conference.
