and Ohio.


indianapolis, Ind. Feb. mo
agreement was reached yesterday by
the joint committee upon which A
basis of settlement of the differences
between the United Mine Workers
and operators of the four competitive
mining states can be made.
The subcommittee held session
yesterday morning, at which the
question of the miners demand for a
straight increase of 10 per cent was
the principal topic of discussion The
miners Representatives on the com
mittee were given to understand by
Francis L. Robbins that the operators
are. unit against any increase; that
this attitude is firm, and that so long
as the mine workers insist upon their
demands for the Introduction of the

tial between pick and machine min
ing the matter Of 10 per cent in.
crease, or any other increase, for
that matter, will not be considered
by the operators.
This was taken by the miners del
egates to indicate that the operators
are not so ayerse to an increase in
the price of digging coal as they are
to the other features of the submitted
scale, and after an hours fruitless
discussion. without favorable results.
the committee adjourned to meet yes.
terday afternoon, when the join
scale committee had been called to
hear report of the subcommittee
The question was referred back to
the subcommittee, with instructions
to arrive at conclusion. If possible,
this afternoon.
The Miners Delegates Determined.
It developed yesterday that the
miner delegates generally, while
united for the increased wage, are
not in favor of sacrificing the posi-
bility Of securing an increase through
an abandonment of the run-of-mine
and differential propositions.
According to rumor one of the
most difficult propositions before the
joint scale committee has been the
apparent willingness of the Illinois
operators to assist the miners, rs
far as possible, to force the run-of-
mine system into the Pennsylvania,
Indiana and Ohio fields. the organi-
cation of the United Mine Workers in
Illinois Is the strongest in the coun.
try, and it has been able to force
upon the operators of that field the
run-of-mine system, which. as claim
ed by the operators of that state.
works to their loss in competition
with the mining interests Of the three

OIL Notes.

Developments in the lower South
west fields are still Of the routine or
der. With the exception Of one or
two wells there is little Importance
attached to those drilling in the
sand. The we'll attracting the most
attention is the South Penn Oil Com
pany's test on the ID. A. McCracken
farm, located West of production in
Greene county. When drilled through
the sand in which the oil was ex-
pected, without finding it, it was re-
garded failure, but as a last resort
was drilled deeper and a formation
containing oil developed, from which
the well mas filled up $500 feet with
oil. The showing is encouraging.
North Of Bristoria the test well ON
the Fl. j. Griffith farm is still drill
ing but does not show any improve
ment.

FINAL ACTION POSTPONED.
Merchants Union gets Peace
Proposals.
Bell People Come Down the Tree and
Make Offers to treat with Them-com-
mittee Appointed aud Instructed as
to what Local Peepte want.

The Merchants Union held meet
ing on Thursday evening at Munich
pal Hall. They had met to determine
finally on the matter of telephone
service. However the meeting adj
journed with no final action being
taken.
Every member of the association
was present and most of them had
something to say about the trouble.
They were almost unanimous ia their
intention to take out the Bell phoLes
and put in the Peoples. However a
proposition was made by the Bell and
this caused stoppage in the action.
Some days ago letter was received
from the Bell which made all the
members very hot under the collar.
They made up their minds to let the
Bell go TO blazes and treat with the
Peoples. A proposition was made by
the latter company and it was likely
that 1t would have been accepted.
However the Bell phoned to Mana
ger Hare telling him to ask the Mer.
chants to delay matters a trife and to
talk over the matter with headquar-
ters. Accordingly Ed Herd, j. w.
Ford and ]. A. Weaver were appoint
ed as committee to meet with the
Bell.
They were instructed to demand a
fifteen dollar rate per annum for bus
mess phones and to ask for connec-
tions as far west as Uniontown and
Connellsville. This they can get
from the Peoples. In case the Bell
does not give them what they want
they will take final action at the next
meeting.
The next regular meeting will be
held ON the first Tuesday night in
March. II no agreement is reached
by that time the phones will have to
come out.

STANDARD GAUGE
NEARING A FOCUS
Refusal of Waynesburg Company to
Bald Turns Eyes of Citizens to Other
Plans.

The action OF the directors of the
Waynesburg Washington Railroad
Company, who met yesterday and or
ganized' in Pittsburg, in refusing to
make the road standard guage has
incensed the people of Waynes-
burg and Greene county and Washing
ton as well. The development of the
oil and gas fields of the county and 10.
cation IN Waynesburg during the past
year of manufacturing plants has made
the facilities of the narrow gauge ut
terly inadequate.
Recently meeting of the citizens
Of WaYnesburg was held to consider
the problem o, getting railroad. A
comittee was appointed to confer with
the officers of the Waynesburg and
Washington, and if they do not listen
to the demands of their patrons the
comittee was authorized to take up
the matter with any other railroad
companythat would be willing to build
standard road to the county seat.
The citizens pledged themselves that
5000, 600 would be contributed by
Waynesburg alone to aid the enter
prise.
Now that the Waynesburg s. Wash.
ington officials decline to build stand
ard gauge road it is likely that both
the Baltimore & Ohio and the Wa
bash will be offered inducements to
to take up the project. 1t has even
been limited that Waynesburg citizens
themselves may build a line to Wash
ington independent of any company,
in which case the W. & w. would be
practically boycotted by the Greene
county people.
