Johnstown, Pa, April 1.-THE 200
miners employed by the Beech Creek
Coal and Coke Company at Patton,
this county. who went on strike re-
Gently returned to work this morning.
The question as to whether a bride
constitutes a portion OF the harness,
which caused the strike. remains un-
settled. The executive board Of dis
trict No. 2, United Mine Workers, in
session at Clearfield, were unable to
decide the question, and finally recon-
mended that the mules be driven with
out brides. This was satisfactory to
the company, and in the future the
company will harness and unharness
the mules, but the brides will be dis
pensed with. The men anticipated
some trouble in handling the animals
without the headgear. but say they
will attempt it rather than go back on
their contention that it is a part of
the harness.

PRESIDENT CASTRO
REMAINS FIRM
Mr.. Bowen's Attitude in Set
ting Venezuelan Dispute
Is Sustained
APP0stS FINANCIAL SYNIICATES

Washington, April IL. - News has
been received from Venezuela to the
effect that President Castro will remain
firm and sustain Mr.. Herbert o..
Bowen, Venezuela's plenipoteAtiary in
the attitude he has taken respecting
the settlement of the claims against
Venezuela and in favor of referring the
question of preferential treatment of
the blockading powers to The Hague
Tor determination. The same statement
contained the information that no over
lures have been made to President Cas-
tro directly by the representatives Of
the allied governments for settling the
controversy, but overtures with this
object in view have been made to the
government by some financial syndi-
Gates.
Mr.. Bowen has opposed bitterly any
settlement through financial syndicates
and President Castro has sustained
him. It is believed by Mr.. Bowen that
now this matter is settled the proto-
coils remaining to be agreed on prior to
a reference to The Hague will be con-
cluded before very long.
News was also received here that
Senor Pulido. the Venezuelan charge
d'affaires at Washington, who was sent
to Venezuelan fby Mr.. Bowen with a let
ter to President Castro to blocksthe
propositions Of the financial syndicates,
is to return to Washington. He bears
a letter to Mr.. Bowen from President
Castro.
AS the time approaches in which ac-
cording to the terms of the protocols
the members of the mixed commissions
to sit at Caracas to adjudicate the
claims of the various nations against
Venezuela must be appointed, eonsid-
cradle interest attaches to the person
mel of these bodies. Mr. Bainbridge
of Iowa, it is understood, already has
been selected to act as a commissioner
for the United States, and the names
Of Frank Partridge. of Vermont, and
Robert c. Morris. of New York, have
been mentioned in connection with
other places which the president will
have at his disposal. Among these are
an agent to represent the United States
and an umpire for the commissions
representing Great Britain, Italy, Ger
many and the Netherlands. It is
known that Mr.. Morris name is under
consideration by the president and that
he has the cordial endorsement and
support Of Mr.. Bowen for a position.
