Miners President Hopes For Salts

factory Solution Of Trouble.
Wilkesbarre, Pa, April %. - John
Mitchell. national president Of the
Mine Workers. who has been in con-
sultation with the three anthracite
district presidents in this city for the
past three days, left here for his head
quarters in Indianapolis. He would
make no statement as to what was ac-
complished at the conference other
than that the Mine Workers hoped for
satisfactory solution Of existing
troubles with the operators; that they
had appointed their conciliation COM
mittee. and could do nothing more un-
I'll the coal companies had appointed a
similar committee, and what would fol-
low would depend on the committee.
President Mitchell telegraphed the
presidents Of all the coal companies.
notifying them of the appointment OF
the miners conciliation board, and re-
questing them to take similar action,
so that the existing differences might
be promptly adjuSted.
The executive boards reached con-
clusions regarding the interpretations
the mine workers are to give to certain
disputed points concerning. the COM
missions award. The miners will be
instructed TO act accordingly, and
wherever conflicts exist the men are to
remain at work until the new concilia-
ton committee reaches a final deci-
sion.
District President Nichols was
asked whether the coal companies
would appoint committee to meet the
miners representatives, and he replied
he had no doubt but that they would.
Some kilograms have already been re-
ceived by the miners committee from
the coal presidents. but their nature
will at this time not be divulged by
any members Of the board.
It is safe to say when the concilia-
ton board is in working order the
petty strikes will be completely eiimi-
mated J

THE TATTIER
A Lonq Sentence.


The late Abram S. Hewitt had a very
,nimble wit and dearly loved joke.
He was once a guest at a dinner which
included the late Recorder Smyth and
Senator Evarts. The Recorder was
poking fun at the Senator. and adjust
ing his eyeglasses, read from a news
paper clipping what purported to he a
sentence from a recent speech made by
the Senator, but was in reality wholly
ictitiOus-'as the Recorder knew quite
we'll. At It's conclusion, the laugh was
long and hearty at Mr. Ewart's ex-
pense. and no one laughed longer or
heartier than the Senator himself
AS soon as the laughter had subsided
Mr.. Hewitt suddenly leaned across the
table and. looking rather sternly into
the smiling face OF the Recorder. said
in a well assumed tone of reproach:
"That certainly is remarkable SEN
tence, your Honor. but criticism OF il
does not come well from you IF todays
newspapers are to be believed. for they
contain a sentence of much greater
length which is attributed to you"
"Why-why-ho is that. Mr. Hew-
ltt?" inquired the Recorder. with con-
siderable confusion.
Because" said Mr. Hewitt, with the
utmost gravity, and that grim smile
which always accompanied his best say
.ings," you are there quoted as utterine
a sentence that was to last through the
whole life Of the prisoner"
