Block Coal District Conditions.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
BRAZIL, Ind, Nov. MISUNDERSTANDING
that some of the operators in the bitumin-
Gus district have signed the scale submitted
by the hosting engineers, there is no indica-
ton at present that a settlement will be
reached here soon. The local operators
maintain that there is vast difference be-
tween the conditions of the Illinois field
and the block coal district. For instance.
the output of some of the mines in Illinois
reaches 1850 tons, while the best block coal
mine here will not hoist over AGO tons daily.
Hence, in case the block operators should
pay the Illinois scale as asked by the en-
gineers, they would be paying as much for
hosting less than one-fourth as much coal
as is produced in the Illinois district A
prominent operator said to-day that many
OF the owners of block coal mines would be
forced out of business If the scale proposed
by the engineers was adopted here. The
leading miners interested say an effort will
be made TO have general settlement of
wages and hours for all persons employed
about the mines made in the spring, when
the miners scale is signed which will pre-
vent constant trouble later on.

PICKING. Nov. Il, via Shanghai. Nov II.
"A protracted conference of the foreign
ministers was held to-day, at the conclu-

sion of qualification at the progress made
toward reaching a settlement. 1t was stated
that most of the minor points had been
disposed Of and that an agreement had
been reached on several important Iues-
lions. The meeting developed fewer ,iilfer-
ences over important points than was cX-

that the ministers have received deinite
