Hazleton. Pa, May 19.--The arrival
here of Ralph NJ. Easley. secretary OF
the National Civic Federation, lends
color to the reports that have been
current the past few days that the
Civic Federation is making an effort to
terminate the anthracite coal miners
strike.
Mr.. Easley, as soon as he reached
the city, met President Mitchell of the
United Mine workers, with whom he
Immediately went into conference be-

Hanna or any other member of the
Civic Federation Mr.. Easley replied in
the negative, and added that he was

Despite Secretary Easley's reticence.
however, his presence here at this time
is regarded as significant, as the fact
that he spent part of yesterday in
Washington in conference with Sen
ator Hanna and Samuel Gompers,
president OF the Federation Of Labor,
and a member of the National Civic
Federation. 1t is known that the
strike situation was discussed with a
view to ascertaining means by which
an adjustment might be reached.
The conference lasted until IL
o'clock Mr.. Easley said that Mr..
Mitchell informed him of what had
transpired here during the past week
all of which had been published. He

NIT to the federation and that he car
ried no message back to Senator Han
ma or any other member of the Civic
Federation. Secretary Easley will
leave tomorrow for New York. Presi-
dent Mitchell had nothing to say re-
garding Mr.. Easley's visit.
President Mitchell remained close to
headquarters and spent busy day go
ing over matters pertaining to miners
in many states. His time was princi
pally taken up by the conference with
the Illinois soft coal operators over a
few disputaed points in the Springfield
bituminous district. The matter was
finally disposed of. an agreement
being reached which was satisfactory
to both sides. The agreement was not
made public, but it will run for anothe,
year. The Illinois delegation, left for
the west at 8 o'clock tonight. e77
Nothing official was given out re-
garding the calling out OF hetbitumi-
nous miners. 1t is understood, how
ever, that the district presidents of the
three anthracite districts are In COM
munication with the presidents of the
bituminous districts, for thesupurpose'
of getting two of them to make up
five necessary to call special national
convention to consider the advisable
ity of calling out the soft coal miners
This is believed to be mere for
mality, as it is thought the West vir-
gina and Michigan districts will agree
to the assembling of such a convention
Reports received at strike head
quarters today We're to the effect that
the order to strike was being carried
out to the letter. Several letters
reached here today that non union

few, had made attempts to return to
work in some localities, but not one

BIG FLOUR SHIPMENT.
A Whole Train Load for Export Via
New Orleans

Minneapolis, May 19.-One hundre !
carloads of Minneapolis flour, consti-
tuting solid train load, will be ship
ped to London thru the port of New
Orleans. This is the first big shipment
of Minneapolis flour to be sent thru
New Orleans consigned to Europe, and
the first of consequence sent to- any
port by Minneapolis millers thru New
Orleans for several years. Local mil
lers were willing to encourage the de-
velopment of New Orleans as an ex-
port point, because it will furnish them
with competing route and increase
the facilities for handling export flour.
The big shipment, for which negoti-
atoms were closed, will be taken to
New Orleans over the Minneapolis &
st. Louis and Illinois Central roads, the
latter road taking the train at Albert
Lea.
The Illinois Central is endeavoring to
increase the Importance of New Or
leans in the export trade. The rapid
growth of Newport News as an export
ing point in the past ten years has
shown what can be accomplished by
persistence and determined railroad
comany in building up an export bust
ness. 1t Is held that New Orleans is in
better shape to solicit the export flour
shipments from the northwest than
was Newport News not many years
ago. Newport News now ranks as one
of the important ports of export. Traf-
f1c men believe that under right condi-
tons the Illinois Central may put on a
line of steamers out of New Orleans
and otherwise increase it's facilities for
handling -four and other export COM
modities. Traffic managers Of all the
railroads are watching the progress of
the present experiment with interest.
