CoNFEREEs MIsUNDERsTAND TIME
Hence No Conference of
Canal Bill-HOuse Will Not Defeat
all Legislation by too Much Insis-
lance.

Washington. June 23.-The opening
conference on the isthmian canal bill
was to have been held today at ?
o'clock. The house committee conferees
appeared at the appointed time but
through misunderstanding the senate
conferees were not on hand, the meet
ing went over until II a. m. tomorrow.
There is said to be no doubt that the
house conferees will at the outset make
strong insistance on the Nicaragua
route as provided by the house bin.
Statements made by the house COM
mittee confereees, however, lead to the
belief that the insiStance will not be
carried to the point of a permanent
dead lock defeating all canal legisla-
ton at this season. The friends of the
Panama project I'VE been making a

fident hat q motion to concur can

Strikers Say Men are Leaving, and
Mine Owners Say ConditIous are
Improved |

Roanoke. Va. June 23.-Fhe Norfolk
and Western railway officials say that
the number OF men at work in the Po-
cahontas coal fields today exceeds
their expectations and that today's out
put will equal that of Saturday, which
was 800 cars. There is very little
change today in the Clinch Valley and
Thacker fields where it was thought
the strikers would make some inroads.
These districts are working practically
full forces. The Tug River field is
still closed down only about one car
per day being mined there. The march
ing bands Of miners held several meet
ings yesterday and last night, but lie
not gain nan recruits from the men
who have been at work The following
notice signed United Mine Workers
of America has been freely and con-
spicuously posted throughout the
fields:
Take notice. you are hereby notified
to cease work on and after Saturday,
June 21st. or abide by the penalty"
The sheriff'S have not yet seen fit to
call for outside help and there are now
no indications that the presence of the
militia will be needed.
Three car loads of striking miners
arriver here today from the coal fields.
They stated that there are about 1,5G0
strikers on the march and that a great
MANY were leaving the fields. The
reason manv who were in sympathy
with the strikers had remained so Ions
was in order to get their pay and that
as soon as they got what was due them
they were leaving. No violence is be-
ing committed by the strikers, but they
are urging all men to stop work.
A special from North Ford, w. Va,
says: 1t is very difficult to forecast the
developments of the ensuing week in
the battle between the miners and OPP
orators. Returns from the field tonight
are a~nxiously awaited by both sides.
The strikers claim that this will be for
them the banner day of the strike
while the mine owners state that they
will at least hold their own.
Most of the strike leaders are still
advising peaceable methods. but the
strikers freely assert that if persuas-
ion will not accomplish their purpose
of closing the mines they will resort to
a more strenuous method. as they pro
pose to stop at nothing to win the
strike. A fresh egress of miners from
the field began Saturday night and
many have left since that time.
A special from Pocahontas. Va, to
the Roanoke Times says:
The strike situation is much i'm
proved here today. The Browning
mines which have been closed down
since the strike began resumed work
this morning with about two-thirds Of
the regular force. The mines Of the
Pocahontas collieries company have an
increased force over any day last week
n men returned to work today who
have not worked since the strike be-
gan. The a%gitators are numerous and
very active.
On Elk Horn a mall output is look
ed for today owing to Saturday being
