Answer TO Published Letters
of the Operators.

WILKESBARRE, Pa, June 21.-District
Presidents T. d. Nichols of the Lacka-
wanna and Wyoming valley, and Thomas
Duffy Of the Lehigh valley arrived here to-
day for the purpose of holding a conference
with national President Mitchell. President
John Fahey of the Schuylkill region arrived
last night. Among the matters to be con-
sidered will be the question of further push
ing the work Of bringing out the men still
in the collieries and arranging for the ma
tional convention as far as the anthracite
region is concerned.
The three district presidents will also go
over the statement which President Mitchell
is preparing for publication. The latter It
is understood, desires to reply to the let
ters of the operators published last week.
With the assistance of the three district
leaders he has been gathering data for the
last ten days and probably will have the
statement ready for publication Monday
morning.
EASTON, Pa, June 21.-The coal strike
has had a serious effect on the iron indus
try in the Lehigh valley. Every furnace in
the district Is either banked or blown out
and an iron dealer is quoted as saying that
there is not a pound of pig iron on the mar
ket in the valley. The scarcity of pig iron
will be the cause of the shutting down OF
many other industries, unless the miners
go to work in a very short time.

tin, jr, before rejoining his family In Lon
don. unsuccessfully sought to console him
self for numerous defeats at bagatelle and
polo by a victory with the new "hying"
machine, Aviator. The World told how
Shutz, the Aviator inventor, tried to fly
last week and got a thorough ducklng.
Young Mr. Martin, who has financially be-
frlended Shutz, became convinced that the
inventors lack Of skill was wholly due
to his lack OF nerve. Mr.. Martin decided
to demonstrate that Aviator can fly, SO after
some practice within an inclosure he had
the machine transported to the St. Cloud
aqueduct. There he was sure he could at
tain the height necessary to a successful
start on his aerial flight.
Aviator's great wings we're strapped on
young Mr.. Martins arms, his feet were
fixed in the pedals, for to really fly Aviator
needs the propulsion of it's passengers four
limbs. Looking much like a tremendous
bat, Mr.. Martin was pushed of the edge OF
the parapet by his assistants. He tapped
his wings desperately, but uselessly. He
guided down, slantingly, and struck the
water 200 feet away. The men waiting In
the boat to give rescue II needed were not
equal to the occasion. Aviator, gradually
getting wet, slowly sank. with the strug

rescued by his friends Mr.. Martin declared
he had swallowed all the Seine water he

Bradley Martin, jr., is one of the British

mother has a splendid establishment. Mr..
Martin has never been known as a par
ticularly high flyer" but he has shown
courage before. In February 1901, he was
a passenger on the Kaiserin Maria Theresa
from Genoa to New York. On the steamer,
too, were Mrs. Van Rensselaer, Cruger and
her maid, Josephine Curtelin. The ship
had been pounded by heavy seas and beaten
by rains and hail squalls. Mile. Curtelin,

she, was on the forward promenade deck.

swept her across the deck and dashed her
against the port rail. Mr.. Martin, from
the lee OF the deckhouse, saw the woman s
perilous plight. "As the maid screaming
with fright, was on the point Of being
dashed overheard" said Mrs. Cruger, In
describing the occurrence, "the young man,
clad in storm clothes and golf cap, plunged,
at the risk Of his own life into the surging
green and white, clasped the woman's waist
and bore her to safety When his fellow
passengers went to congratulate him he
escaped to his rooms. Mile. Curtelin was
badly used up. Three or four other women
were thrown down and bruised. Young Mr..
Martin modestly declined to discuss the
rescue.
