OPERATORS AND MINERS FAIL
TO E.EAcH AN AGREEMENT
ON WAGE SCALE.
NEW CoMMITTE6 APPOINTED
IT'S FAILURE TO SETTLE CUES
TON MAY RESULT IN A
GREAT STRIKE.

Indianapolis, FeD. 4.-lne meGl!..S
Of the operators and miners in joint
conference Wednesday was called in
the morning in order that the joint
scale committee might report its
progress and ask for additional in
structions. After the reading of the
scale committees report, Mr.. Rob-
bins, the leader Of the operators,
moved an adjournment after appoint
ing a committee composed of one
operator and one miner from each
state to fix the date for the next meet
ing of the joint conference. The fol
lowing committee was appointed:
Operators-H. N. Taylor, Illinois;
J. G. Kolsen, Indiana; ]. w. Wilson,
Ohio; F.. l.. Robbins, Pennsylvania.
Miners-Thomas j. Reynolds, ILL
nois; George Hargrove, Indiana; w.
II. Haskins, Ohio; Patrick Dolon.
Pennsylvania.
This committee will meet in In
dianapolis on Feb. Is to arrange for
another meeting of the joint con-
ference.
There was great excitement among
the delegates when it was seen that
the moment for a declaration OF a dis
agreement had arrived. The scale
committee reported the present wage
scale as their ultimatum and the
operators insisted that nothing less
than the 1902 scale, which is equiva'
lent to a reduction of IL per cent in
wages, it is claimed, would satisfy
them.
Mitchell Hopes FOR an Agreement.
Mr.. F. l.. Robbins, for the op
orators, arose and quietly moved
that inasmuch as it seemed impossible
to reach an agreement, that adjourn
ment be taken after appointing a joint
committee of eight consisting of one
miner and one operator from each Of
the four states forming the competi
tive district to fix a date for a future
convention. President Mitchell quiet
ly seconded the motion, expressing the
hope that an agreement would be
reached. The convention then ad
journed, the operators leaving the hal
and the miners going into executive
session.
Prospects for an agreement have
been gloomy for two days. The 35;
operators and 557 miners have de
clared they would eve accept thu
terms offered by the opposite side
The possibility of a final disagree
ment and suspension of work is
topic of conversation among the min
ers and operators. Leaders on boil
sides refuse to go into a discussion O
the general effect of a suspension o
operation on April /.
The miners have $1,0OO,O0O in thei
national treasury. The Illinois miners
have 100000 in their own treasury
and the other states have enough NOR
to raise it to $ $1,000, 900, making So.
100000 Of cash available for an,
emergency.
A suspension of operations in tn
four states would involve III, 900 men
