MINERS AND OPERATORS CONFER
 ON WAGE SCALE.
Convictions in Criminal Court nt Bir- mfnghnm During Busy Week. Mrs. Ella Haw1s Reader
 Coming to Alabama.

bifmingham, June 18.-(Speciak)- There is hopeful view taken of the probable result of the joint meeting tomorrow between the coal operators and the union miners. looking to contract for the ensuing year, com mencing July 1st. There is no de- nying the fact that the new wage scale formulated by the miners during the past week is similar in many respects to the contract which was Tn enect during the past two years. Some littie changes may have been provlded III mines. The commercial coal mines have lost very little time during the past year; Lhere has been. a steady demand ana ana been paid through the entire wear there Is very little complaint heard that the earnings have been too small. The hopeful view is taken In regard to a settlement in the face that the min CTS practically decided on asking Tor the same contract that is now in efect. solidated Coal and Iron Company and the Alabama Steel and Wire Company will be the only furnace companies to recognize the union.
 Quite large number of delegates from the mining camps arrived in the city this afternoon and evening. pre- pared for the meeting called for to-. the delegates, however, will arrive in the morning. The leaders of she min CTS make no statement as to their an. ticipation of results. Their tone of conversation is taken to mean that they expect settlement. In all prOb- ability the joint meeting of the opera tors and the miners will not last long CT than day or two at the most If the contract is signed tomorrow or the next day the mines will hardly stop off longer than four or five days for the Fourth of July celebration.

VERDICT IN BRITON's FAVOR.
Hearing on the North Sea Incident Is
Completed.

Completed.
Paris, Feb. %. - The international
commission appoionted to inquire into
the North sea incident practically con-
cluded it's work last night by finally
agreeing to the report which will be
publicly announced at the closing ses.
sion to be held at o'clock tomorrow.
Concerning the general nature of the
report, the following statement was
made in most authoritative quarter
to the Associated Press:
when the text of the decision be-
comes known it will be far more &C.
ceptable to the British press and pub
lie than they have been led to believe
The semi-official summaries, while
more or less accurate, tend strongly
to show Russian success, but as a
matter OF fact the admirals have
sought middle ground and the de-
cisiOn is not pronounced victory for
either side. 1t is of such character as
to preserve Russia's self respect and
at the same time give the British
public much ground for satisfaction
If anything, the decision is rather
more favorable to Great Britain than
to Russia.

ABSOLUTELY NO HOPE Th...
ANY OF ENToMBED MINERS
ARE ALIVE.
FIFTY BODIES RECOVERED
CORPSES so BADLY DISFiGURED
THAT IDENTIFICATION IS
IMPOSSIBLE.

Birmingham, Ala, Feb. %. - The
scene at Virginia mines yesterday,
where a terrific explosion Monday i'm
prisoned 16O men 100 feet below the
surface, was the most gruesome and
narrowing that has ever been wit
messed in this section of Alabama.
OF the miners who entered the
mines Monday so far only so bodies
have been recovered. 1t is believed
that of the remaining 40 men none
are alive. Practically isolated from
the outside world, the Associated
Press correspondent found it neces-
sary to employ couriers to intersect
it's wires eigh' miles distant. The
corpses are frightfully mangled and
disfigured and identification is almost
impossible. Many of them are so
badly bruised and twisted and discol-
ored that negroes cannot be told from
white men. All day long at the mouth
of the mine the
WaiIing and Moaning
OF the women and children, whose un-
fortunate relatives were in the mines,
has been the most heartrending fea<-
ure of the disaster. One hundred
families and 800 children are left des-
titute and without means of support
by the calamity.
AS the bodies of the victims, which
in many cases have been gathered to-
gether piece at time, are brought
to the surface, they are placed in rows
on~a rough improvised platform.
The work of the diggers at the
mines has been an inspiration to the
directors, and every one has done all
in his power to facilitate the work OF
rescue. The excavation Of debris has
been
Handicapped From the Start.
The foul gases which had collected in
the shaft made necessary the use of
safety lamps, and it was found that
less than score of safety lamps were
available in the district. Union miners
went to the scene from practically
every mining camp within radius OF
of twenty-five miles of Virginia City to
aid in the work of rescue.
OF the fifty bodies recovered one
was found which was barely alive.
Scant hope is held out for his recov-
cry.
President Flynn of the Alabama
United Mine Workers said to the As
ISOLATED Fress last night:
II shall be surprised if single per-
son escapes alive from that mine
men were not killed by the explosion
they have certainly been suffocated by
the gases. The bodies so far reached
/ were in the main slope, and it will be
several days before we can get to the
rooms which branch Off from the main
slope"
