This was part of the advice Secretary
Bonaparte gave to the members of the

The Secretary mentioned the saying at
tributed to Napoleon l that an army like
a serpent, crawls on it's belly. and said 1t is
even more accurate to say that fleet

by their officers, and ineffective officers
mean underfed men. for sailor has no op-
portunity to obtain food for himself, the
Secretary said. Consequently the duties

IN NEW YORK CONFERENCE
Reported Modification of Demands on
Operators.
CONCESSIONS NOT IMPROBABLE
Union Leaders Willing to Compromise
in Settlement, but Want One
Year Agreement.

NEW YORK, April 5.-The subcommit-
tees. representing the anthracite mine own
ers and the miners, will make another at
tempt today to reconcile the differences ex-
listing between the employers and their
workmen. Before going into session there
were no surface indications that today
meeting would bring about an agreement
that would send the men back to work.
The representatives of the miners are re-
ported to have trimmed down their orig
inal demands in the hope that the operators
may see their way clear to conceding some
thing to the men.
The miners will not say what their raove
will be. nor will they predict what out
come there will be to the meeting. The
union leaders have not yet definitely de-
clined the proposition of the operators for
renewal and continuance for three years
of the award of the anthracite strike COM
mission
1t Is understood they are willing to accept
the award if the operators will embody
in it some of the propositions made by the
union, but they will under no circumstances
agree to have the award stand for three
years. They favor one-year agreement.
The full committee of thirty-six of the
miners held another session at their head
quarters in the forenoon, where the work
of the subcommittee was gone over and ap-
proved.
Mitchell Remains Silent.
President Mitchell still maintains his 81
lence, even refusing to say whether he
thinks the situation is hopeful or discour-
aging. One of his early visitors today was
Daniel ]. Keefe Of Chicago, International
president of the Longshoremens Union.
Mr. Keefe would not say what the nature
of his business with President Mitchell was,
but there is a belief he came here to talk
with the miners leader on certain phases of
the strike situation. During the anthracite
strikes of 1900 and 1902 Mr.. Keefe FREE
quently held conferences with Mr.. Mitchell
and his Neutenants and was of much as
sstance to them.
Instructions were sent from New York
city today to anthracite district No. l that
the miners there should be protected by
legal means from the reported action of the
who are said to be searching the miners
homes for firearms. These instructions
were sent by order OF President Nichols of
District No. ].
The conference of the subcommittees be-
gan in the rooms of the Trunk Line Asso-
ciation shortly after l o'clock Neither the
miners nor the operators would make a
statement prior to the meeting
The conference adjourned at 215. 1t was
understood that agreement had been
reached President Mitchell said that he
would give out a statement later.
The conference will meet again on Mon
day at 80 pm
