Want TO AVERT STRIKE
Miners Officials Make Another APP
peal to the Operators
TO JOIN IN WAGE CONFERENCE.

President Mitchell Declares That the
Men Ask Merely For q Uniform
Scale Throughout the Anthracite
Mine Region.
Scranton, March 20.-As q result of
conferences held yesterday between
President John Mitchell and the three
district presidents of the anthracite
region communications were sent out
yesterday afternoon from the United
Mine Workers headquarters to the
presidents of all the coal companies
and large individual operators. These
communications contained statements
OF the action of last weeks convention
In passing the resolution asking their
attendance at the conference of April
i, and further expressed the acquies-
cence in that action by the national
president and presidents of Districts
Nos. 1, and 8. No attempt will be
made to deliver any Of the messages in
person, as was done in the matter of
the invitations to the conference of
March 10.
President Mitchell, on being asked
whether there was any possibility Of
the operators being approached through
third party, and their attendance at
looked rather surprised and declared
that the only intimation he had receive
ed or any such movement was what he
saw in the papers.
No plans of intermediation," he
said, have as yet been discussed by
the mine workers officials, and the
only arrangements made have been for
communications directly between the
operators and mine workers. However.
In the course of developments we
would be only too glad to avail our
selves OF any means of bringing about
the end which we are trying to estab-
I1sh. The report that intend going to
New York with some of the local Of
ncials is entirely unfounded, as there
would be no possible use in our going
there unless we knew we would be fa-
vorably received by those interested in
the coal properties"
When asked what he thought OF the
opinion expressed by the Wilkesbarre
operators, reported as declaring that
the companies as corporate bodies re-
FUSED to have any dealings with the
mine workers, which are not such.
President Mitchell said: 81 do not
think much of that pretext- No labor
organizations are corporated."
In answer to another query regard
tAS nv ASPOiCSu DISQUALIFICATION OF the
miners In the Schuylkill valley, and
their ayerseness to q strike, President
Mitchell calmly said:
dc not question those reports. In
fact, do not think any one is anxious
TO strike. The miners are all unwill-
Ing to suspend work, but still thew
favor an adjustment of the prevailing
conditions, and realize that the effec-
tual method by which to secure this
is Joint conference. The men are
all In favor OF uniform scale being
paid for the same class Of work at the
different collierles. They believe that
an hours work in Scranton is of the
same value as an hours work in
Shamokin or elsewhere, and this is
one OF the phases OF the mining oues-
ton which demands the consideration
OF a joint conference"

st. Petersburg, March 2O.-Alarm
pervades high circles here. The police
have notified house owners to have
their dyorniks, or house police, report
for duty and hold themselves in con-
slant readiness. A company of Cos
sacks passed the Moscow gate yester-
day on the way TO Tzarokoe-Selo. II
miles south of st. Petersburg, where
the car has just removed to. The
police said they would escort the car
back to the winter place and that he
would return by carriage instead of by
rail-. 1t appears more probable how
ever, that the Cossacks were merely
sent to Tzarskoe-Selo as a precaution,
since his majesty is more easily pro-
tected there than here.
1t is apparently confirmed that three
students We're killed on Sunday. The
Cossacks rode into the crowds on the
sidewalk and many faces were cut open
by their knotted whips. Students and
workngmen threw rubber shoes, canes
and snowballs at the Cossacks. 1t is
reported that one Cossack was killed.
An official of the political police said
1000 prisoners were taken, among
them being $50 women students. The
presence of workingmen among the
rioters rendered this demonstration
more dangerous than any known in a
generation.
A remarkable feature of the demon

taken by women of the higher classes

amount OF difficult work, and the stays
are thus as firm as the lining Is nex-

outside Is to be put on. This may be
tucked, shirred or simply gathered,
leaving the finishing touches to be add

such cases accomplished with lace of

and Is made three inches wider than
the lining at the bottom and one inch
at the shoulders. This Is then gathered
at the center OF the bottom OF the back

The fronts are treated In the same
way, only three inches should be al

fronts at each side. The whole "a TO be
basted together and gathers run in at

the bottom OF the two fronts should be
sloped down from nothing to three

brought up and basted to the lining
This has to be done on the lady or on
ner nodded form.
The waist is now ready to sew up,
and all the side seams are solidly done
and boned. Some dressmakers put a
line or the special featherbone around
the bottom, as it holds 1t firmly and
smoother than any amount of stitching
could do. OLIVE HARPER.
