SO,OOO MINERS LOCKED OUT
TROUBLE OYER INTERPRETA-
 TI0N OF YINE-HoUR DAT.
Men and Operators Differ Regarding This Award of the Strike Commits sion-PhiIadeIphias and Reading Conn pany Lock Their Miners Out on the Latter Refusing Co Accept the Con- cern'G View of the Matter.


 cern'G View of the Matter.
 Wilkesbarre, Pa, April 2o.-Tbe exec utive boards of districts No. 1, ' and g of the United Mine Workers of Amer ica, which districts embrace the entire anthracite coal region, tonight held their first joint conference since the strike commission made it's award. The purpose of the conference is to inter pret,. so far as the miners organization has authority to do so. the various feat ures of the award. There was full attendance of officers. and President Mitchell, who arrived from the west during the afternoon, presided at the meeting.
 The session was a brief one. There was an informal discussion of several matters to be taken up by the three boards, and then an adjournment was taken until o'clock tomorrow morn ing.
 The principal point in dispute is the interpretation of the nine-hour work day for all mine workers who are em- ployed by, the day, week or month. There has been much friction in the three districts over this question, and the matter reached an acute stage to- day, when the Philadelphia and Read ing Coal and Iron company shut down nearly all it's collieries in the Schuyl- kill region because the men would not accept the interpretation of the com- pany relative to the nine-hour day. About 30,000 men were rendered idle in the Schuylkili region by the company's action. The men work nine hours a day except on Saturday. and they con- tend this is an eight-hour day. Another grievance made known here tonight is the alleged refusal of Coxe Brothers & Co in the middle coal field to permit the miners to employ a check weigh man. The award of the commits sion make it compulsory for operators to employ. at the expense of the nin- CTS, check weigh man whenever re- quired by majority of the men at any colIiery. ' ~ The joint conference will appoint to- morrow three persons, one from each of the three districtss to represent the miners on the board of conciliation, as provided by the strike commission.

MARATHON RAGE.
Won by John c. Lorden of the Cnm-
 brtdgeport Gy m maslnm.

Boston, April 20-Of fifty-five sturdy runners who started from Ashland at noon to-day in the Boston Athletic as- sociation's annual twenty-five mile run to this city, known as the Marathon race, forty crossed the finish line, the majority in good condition, with John c. Lorden, of the Cambridgeport gym nasium, in the lead and, a winner of the coveted gold medal. While Lorden ran a grand race, overhauling man af- ter man until he finally strode into the lead a mile from the finish, the feature was the great struggle between John F. Caffrey, of Hamilton, Ontario, who holds the record, and Samuel A. Mellor, IT,, of the Mohawk A. C., of New York. and the winner of last years contest. Caffrey started in the lead, but Mellor was the contest between them that at the end of ten miles they were, even with the record. Mellor, however, ran his opponent off his feet and Caffrey dropped out about ten miles from the finish. The terrific pace also proved exhausting to Mellor, and when Lorden, who had played waiting game, came up and challenged him within two miles of the finish the New York man had little strength with which to re- spond. He exerted himself gamely, however, and succeeded in few min utes in regaining the lead from Lorden, but it was only for matter of hum dred yards. Lorden, being in good shape, had no difficulty in taking the lead and crossing the tape in fine shape, but nearly twelve minutes behind the record. while Mellor was second, nearly six minutes later. The day was one of the finest in which the race has been run.
 The times of the first ten men were as follows: John c. Lorden, Cambridge, Mass, 2:41:294-5; Samuel A. Mellor, jr., Mohawk A. C., New York, 2;47:13; Michael Spring, Pastime A. C., New York, 2:53:O1 1-5; Frederick Lorz, Mo- hawk A. C., New York, 2:53:42 2-5; J. J. Donovan. Mohawk A. C., New York, s:O1:37 2-5; Arthur E. Ziegler, Pastime A. C., New York. 3:01:53; Edward Fay Cambridge, 3:O4:5o 2-5; John S. Hunt, South Boston, 3:0640; John A. Lead better. Newton Y. M. c. A., S:0S:14; John P. Coakley, Roxbury, 3:10:47.
