RUPTURE IMMINENT
IN MINERS AFFAIRS
The Operators and Union Men
Fail to Agree.
Operators Force the Miners TO Ex.
clude J. ID. Wood From the
Joint Conferences.
STRIKE PREDICTED by SOME

The usual talk of a strike In the
Southwestern Kentucky coal fields
for April | is at present INDUCED in
Every year the miners and operators
hold meetings and wrangle and each
side declares II will never give I'm,
end II usually winds up at the last
minute by both sides making con-
Ctssions.
The miners convention at Louis
Vile and the joint conference of min
ers and operators following IL, have
been unusually hot this year.
In this miners convention there
came near being fight when J. ID
Wood and others paid their re-
spects to one another from a per-
sonal standpoint.
esterday the joint conference
would have broken up in row had
rot J. d. Wood been excluded from
the meeting. Wood is the we'll known
agitator of Central City who start
ed out from Paducah three years ago
with a show company playing a sto-
ry based on the Hopkins county min
ers' strike events. Wood was the he
70 but the show did not last long.
He is well known in Paducah, how
ever, aud the operators took a dis
like to his ways at Louisville yester-
day and said they would decline to
discuss the scale further unless he
was put out.
He was accordingly excluded and
had to learn the proceedings from a
shorthand report taken to him in the
lobby. Mr.. Wood claims that unless
the operators agree to the miners
demands, there will be a strike, but
others do not take such pessimls-
tic view of the situation, and think
all differences will be adjusted
Mr. Wood, in discussing the mat
ter, said:
"The miners of this district mean
business. They came here to discuss
the wage scale with the operators In
frank and open manner, but the
operators have tried all along to
avoid an open discussion. They have
asked for time, and committee meet
ings several times, and when they got
them they absolutely refused to
make any concessions. They alone
have delayed the work of this Joint
conference. The reason they do not
want to discuss this question with me
in open convention is that they know
that | have the facts and the hgures
that cannot be controverted.'
President c. w. Wells, of the
United Mine Workers of District No.
%, and c. A. Barnaby, of the scale
committee of the miners, did not
take the same view of the matter as
Mr.. Wood. They were inclined TO
believe last night that everything
could be settled without a disrup-
ton of the joint conference. They de-
plored the fact that the matter had
been made public.

Says War win Foiiow War.

ST. Petersburg. March 22.-Count
Tolstoi, in an interview, reiterates
his views on the inefiiciency of the
pr opposed governmental reforms. He
says: This striving for q renewal of
the state is impossible until the peo-
pie have within themselves the image
of the living God. Civilization has
become savage. When the war with
Japan is finished there will be war
with India and Tibet. Human happi-
ness is only attainable when each in
ilyidual will do his utmost, one in
the workshop, another in the field
and another to compose sonatas; IL
only matters that each fulfills his
duty, creates some good positive. and
rest will come of itself Reform is Of
Little value when humanity is saw
