WILL CONFER AGAIN.
Why Miners and Operators Failed t
Aoree Last Week.

Des Moines, March 3.-John e. Reese,
president of the Iowa United Mine
Workers of America, says the joint
operators and miners scale conference
held last week failed mainly because
the operators would not agree to rates
that would call for additional expense
for mining on their part. also that they
refused to consider the question OF en-
ploying shot firers. The miners want
shots fired only at the close of the days
work, when two shots can be set in
stead of at noon and night, as has been
the practice. They also want uniform
rate of $3.50 per day all over the state
for drivers track and timber men. At
present the Centerville district is pay
ing 50. the Boone district $2.O4, ard the
Des Moines district, including the Ma
haska and Wapello fields, has a $2.15
rate.
Mr.. Reese says the operators want
the miners organization to be RESPONSE
BILE for loss of work when miner quits
without giving notice. Sometimes a
miner fails to show up at the mines, and
the operators claim they should get
sort of rebate from the unions equal to
the profits likely to have accrued had
the man remained at work. TO this the
Union miners will object. The next
Joint conference of miners and operat-
ors will be held March IL.
