a hitch IN THE SETTLEMENT.
Coal Presidents and Private 0per-
ators Agree on Non-Action.
WOULD GO ON WITH HEARINGS

New York, Nov. 27.-A serious hitch
has occurred in the plans for a settle
ment of the coal controversy by con-
ference between the coal operators and
the Miners union.
At meeting between the presidents
of the coal roads and large number
of independent operators strong pro-
protest was entered by the latter
against treating directly with the
miners.
Mr.. Simpson. a private operator, said:
GAS to miners, it can be shown that
their annual earnings are more than
the amount called fair wages which
was specified by two witnesses called
for the plaintiffs. Their wages per
hour are greater than those of skilled
mechanics working and living in the
same regions, and they work less hours
per day through choice, and conse-
| quently, through the same choice, less
| days per year, since the operator must
employ a large number of men in order
to secure the output which might be
produced by fraction of that num-
ber."
President Baer gave out the follow
ing after the close of the conference:
''They (the private operators) met
the coal presidents who had signed the
request to the president of the United
States. They presented a protest
against any judgment being made at
this time, insisting that the principles
| involved were SO serious and affected
so many interests that it was necessary
| now to have the commission hear all
facts and pass its judgment upon the
whole controversy.
''Mr. Simpson, as chairman, read a
paper expressing their views, and other
| gentlemen expressed decided opinions.
In the midst of the conference the re-
quest came from Washington to the
operators of both classes to meet Mr..
Mitchell and his associates. The par
ties present, without dissent instructed
| Mr.. Baer to make the following an
| swer:
''The conditions are such that no
| substantial progress can be made by
the suggested meeting. The general
| Judgment of the operators is that it
would be best for the present to go on
! with the hearing"

Washington, Nov. 29.-The seignior-

made in the year was 81, O15, $50, which
was turned into the general fund of
the treasury. The coinage of 81, $780,
600 silver dollars per month, now re-
quired by law, will come to an end
soon by the exhaustion of the stock of
bullion. This calls for the entire
capacity of the New Orleans mint.
