Body Found Hidden in a Grave of
Snow.

Special Dispatch TO The Star.
WILKESBARRE, Pa. February IA
Frank Gusinsky, who has been missing
from his home in Duryea, near here, since
last Thursday, was murdered. robbed and
hidden in a grave Of snow. Not until last
evening when after a days steady thaw
much snow had melted was his body dis
covered. He had been struck down close
to his home during the severe blizzard on
Thursday night and snow had been heaped
over the body. Searchers had passed the
place scores of times, and thought the
mound was "a pile of snow gathered about
an old tree stump.
Five men who were last seen with him
were arrested during the night and lodged
in jail here this morning to await an in
vestlgation.

as well as In the common people. If this
succeeds, and time will tell, then the two
nations need have no fear against the op-
position of all the rest of the world COM
bined, inasmuch as China whole and
in unity of sentiment, because of her 1sola-
ton, would be unassailable
$50 far, well. We have Russia and Ger
many, and China either singly or as their
ally. But what about unobtrusive Japan
conservative United States and dignited
England? They are not unconcerned, as
appears at first hand; but their arms ex-
tend to and touch all parts of the far east,
which needs looking after. l must say that
it is not the United States and England
which are doing this sounding. 1t is only
Japan-but in accord and with the help of
the two countries. In so far as England
goes, she could go right out into the open
and state her wishes and her future plans
of action and what Japans help means 10
her. England is not only free of public SEN
timent against entangling alliances. but she
is bound to the eastern empire by virtue or
the Anglo-Japanese treaty. On the other
hand, the United States cannot openly 90
things because the country cannot, by ira
dition ally herself formally. But the Phil
ippines drag her In the problem, and to look
out for her own interest she has to take
notice.

MIN ERS NOW READY
Special Committee to Meet
Operators Tomorrow
WITH PREPARED DEMANDS
Secrecy Observed in Preparation of
Document
WITH PREPARED DEMANDS
PREMATURE COMMENT AVOIDED
President Mitchell Busy Today With
clines to Talk for Publication.

NEW YORK, February 14-The special
scale committee of the union anthracite
mine workers. to which has been entrusted
the duty of presenting to the operators the
demands of the men, has completed its
work, and everything is now practically in
readiness for tomorrow's conference. The
work of the subcommittee which is made
up of the three district presidents
and secretaries, has been ratified
and the district officers were today
engaged in putting the finishing touches on
the communication to be handed to the en-
ployers President Mitchell said today that
the full membership of the special COM
mittee. which included the miners chief,
numbers thirty-six men, would be taken
into the conference.
The same secrecy which surrounded the
work of the scale committee at Wilkesbarre
and in this city still obtains. not the slight
est fntimation of the exact nature of the
demands to be made having leaked out.
Not one of the committeeman will discuss
the anthracite situation in any of its
phases, referring all inquiries to Mr. Mitch
ell. He has no desire to keep from the
public the grievances of the mine workers
but he feels that If they were made known
at this time public discussion Of the merits
of the miners case would probably ensue
which might have a tendency to upset we'll
laid plans.
The Bituminous Situation.
President Mitchell devoted much of to-
day to business connected with the btu
minous situation. Ali communications per-
taining to the soft coal regions are being
forwarded to him here. Asked whether he
had anything to say in reply to various
statements made by western coal opera
tors, Mr.. Mitchell said he preferred not to
discuss conditions in the bituminous fields
at this time.
1t has been learned from an authoritative
source, however. that the resolution adopt
ed py the miners to the effect that no dis
tflct should sign an agreement until griev-
ances in all districts have been adjusted
Will not be permitted to stand In the way
OF agreement If the occasion arises 1t can
easily be rescinded.
Mr.. Mitchell went to ST. Francis Hos
pital, Jersey City. today to see Edward Nc
Kay of Pittsburg, a national organizer in
the miners union. Mr.. Mckay was taken
i'll on train yesterday while the way
here to see his chief. He was reported
much better today: Mr.. Mitchells princi-
pal object in calling on the Pittsburg man
was to get from him the exact situation in
the western Pennsylvania territory.
