Nickel lived on Pleasant street and is said
to have been an owner of property.
Nickel. two years ago, was arrested here
on the charge of obtaining money under

victims was a young woman whose huS-
band had been killed i'm a railroad wreck.
He was intrusted with her jewels.
Nickel is handsome and dresses well. He
is a blonde. and his tawny mustache has
the Emperor William curl at the tips. One

The United Mine Workers have several
questions confronting them that they will
endeavor TO settle within a few days. Yes
terday afternoon T.. w. Davis, commission
er Of the Michigan Coal Operators Associa-
ton, and w. F. Williams, president of the
miners State organization, were in confer
ence with President Mitchell and Secretary
Wilson in an endeavOr to bring both sides
together and settle the strike in that State.
All of the employees in and about the mines
are out and the mines are tied up. The OPP
orators and miners conferred until they
disagreed, and the representatives of the
two organizations were called here by Pres
ident Mitchell for a conference. Vice Presi-
dent Lewis, who has been in Michigan as
sisting the miners, was also called here to
attend the conference. No agreement was
reached yesterday and the matter will
again be taken up to-day.
a conference TO devise means of settling
the strike in the Clearheld district of Penn
s~ylvania, where 10000 miners are on strike,
was scheduled for last night at the DenisOn
Hotel. but the representatives from Penn
s~ylvania did not arrive in time. The re-
quest for this conference comes from both
sides. John Reid. representing the
INONiColCA dn0 AllobIA okAO AAOAA
Company and the Jefferson and Clearfeld
Coal Company, the interests affected by the
strike, will represent the operators at the
conference, and Barney Rice. member of
the national executive board of the United
Mine Workers., the miners.
A. small strike at Linton, Ind, where the
drivers were out, was settled yesterday by
telephone. The drivers were out because
they had been required TO take their mules
from the stable to the mines. Before the
mules were taken to the mines for them.
The drivers receded from their position and
they will at once return to work. Another
strike that has been carried to headquarters
is in the block coal district of Indiana. Ma
tional Board Member w. H. Farley has
been assigned to assist in the settlement
of this strike.
These troubles, with the larger questions
the situation In the anthracite district and
Virginia and West V-irginia-make busy
times about headquarters. The national
executive board will convene on Monday.
Faith is placed in the ability Of the Civic
Federation TO settle the anthracite differ
ences. as the operators have promised to
meet the miners before the committee. but
the situation in the Virginias is more seri-
Gus and it is probable that a strike will
take place in those two States.
