SETTLING WAGE
SCALE IN EAST

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Jan. 2S.-
Opinions are at variance as to the probable
outcome OF the annual wage scale confer
enee begun here today by representatives
OF the coal mine operators and the Unit
ed Mine Workers. ut it is generally con
ceded that the conference is one of the
most important of the kind yet held, not
ven excepting that which preceded the
great anthracite coal strike.
When the miners left indianapolis last
year they did so with a l4h per cent in
crease in wages Record breaking indus
trial conditions making unprecedented de
mand for coal, the shortage of coal for all
kinds of consumption, due to the strike In
the anthracite region. the wrath of the
public at the operators caused by the coal
combines. and the fact that the mining
industry was about the only one that had
not shared in advanced wages, all con-
tTibutel to the successful demands of the
miners for substantial increase in wages.
This year the conditions are materially
changed. Industrial conditions are not SO
good. The operators assert that there is
overproduction at the mines and prices
have been seeking lower levels. The ae-
suit is that the operators have come to
the present conference prepared to make
a demand for an increase amounting to
about 10 per cent Notwithstanding these
conflicting demands, it is believed that
neither side expects TO accomplish its an
nounced purpose, but that both will be
satisfied on the other hand to allow
wages To stand pretty much as they are
at the present time.

closed carriage and without outriders or

knows him by sight, and every hat comes
off when the carriage is sighted. The old
king never fails to be pleased at this sign
of affection and loyalty The Swedes are
