Professor Evans Of Tufts college
tells an amusing story Of college life.
mot long ago two Chinese boys were
sent to Yale by their government"
says the professor. "They were bright
chaps and readily adapted themselves
to American ways. They cut Off their
pigtails. wore American clothing and
talked American slang proficiently.
Among other things they developed
a taste for late hours and questionable
companions They refused to be repri-
manded and did just about as they
pleased.
'The faculty, fearing to offend the
Chinese government if it expelled the
students or punished them in any way,
wrote to the Chinese government ask
ing what measures it should take TO
compel the students respect for the
college rules.
"The dean almost collapsed when he
received this reply. Put them to death

MINERS NoT DISAPPOINTED
Did Not Expect New York Conference
to Aoree at First MEETING,

Diu NOT Expect New York Conference
to Agree at First Meeting.
Philadelphia. April Information
concerning the conference in New
York between the operators and the
representatives of the miners was ca.
gerly sought by the idle workmen in
the hard coal region. Definite results
we're not expected from the first meet
ing, and there was no disappointment
when it was learned that the confer
rees had adjourned until Thursday. In
fact, the friendly spirit in which both
sides are reported to have met has
aroused throughout the region a feel
ing that the suspension of work will
only be temporary. The situation re-
mains practically unchanged. In Sha-
mokin the Enterprise colliery, owned
by w. L. Connell & Co. was operated
shorthanded by non-union men. In
Scranton the Oxford colliery, a small
aon-union operation, and 20 washeries
were worked. Aside from these plants
there we're no attempts in any part of
the region to operate the collieries.
Reports from Scranton are to the eff
feet that the Delaware & Hudson and
the Erie companies are making prep
arations to resume as soon as possible.
A number of men have been engaged
at the mines of these companies osten-
sibly for guard duty. In this city the
Delaware & Hudson company has
opened two Offices for the purpose Of
employing guards and laborers in and
about the mines. Railroad companies
have laid off a number of coal crews
and telegraph operators in various sec
tions, but those suspended, il is said,
have been requested not to leave the
region, indicating, according to the
miners, that an early resumption is
anticipated
The Reading company has stored at
Reading about $4,000 tons Of btu
minous coal, and it is reported to have
stored at Landingville, Abrams and
other places about 1,75O,OOO tons of
anthracite
Several minor disturbances occurred
during the day near Wilkes Barre. The
companies of the state police again
patrolled the roads in the vicinity of
the collieries, and reported that good
order prevailed.

THE SOFT COAL STRIKE
Conditions in Pittsburg District Rap.
idly Growing Better.

ddiN Growing Be1fErs
Pittsburg, April with the excep-
tion of one or two points outside of
the Pittsburg district, the strained sit.
uation between operators and miners
in the soft coal fields of Western Penn
syIvania is hourly growing more pa
cific Following the signing Of the
scale demanded by the miners, the
mines of the operators WIN signed the
scale resumed their operations, al
though in many instances with re-
duced forces.
In the Pittsburg district there were
5000 miners working and $4,000 were
idle. Nearly all of the mines Of the
Pittsburg Coal company were in Oper-
alton, and it was expected that those
men who are out would return within
a day or so.
The Independent operators who de-
cided not to sign the scale held an
other meeting last night GTuesday)
The independent operators employed
between $4,000 and 14,O00 men, and
they are all idle and will be SO until
either the scale is signed or some
agreement is reached between the op-
orators and the employees
There we're representatives of 20
operators present, representing an an
nual output of 20,O0O,000 tons. A per
manent organization was formed and
after the meeting the following official
statement was given out:
cat a meeting of the independent
operators the position taken at the
previous meeting was reafirmed and
no action was taken toward the ac-
ceptance of the 1903 scale. The prob
able outcome of these meetings will be
the formation of an independent coal
operators association of Western
Pennsylvania district. Those present
were absolutely unanimous against
signing the 1903 scale"
Mr.. Robbins said that he had signed
the scale of 1908, and among the other
signers were the Monongahela River
Consolidated Coal and Coke company,
the Ellsworth Coal company the Cres-
cent Coal company, the Mifiin Coal
company, the Peoples Coal company,
the Marine Coal company, the Steen
Coal company, the Yesta Coal com
pany, the Dilworth Coal company, and
the Mansfield Coal and Coke company.
These companies represent S0,OOO,OOO
tons. or over three-quarters of the coal
mined in the Pittsburg district.
The mines of the Independent opera
tors are shut down in the Pittsburg
district in conjunction with those in
Ohio. Indiana and Illinois. The indie
pendent operators met in this city and |
adjourned after passing a resolution /
to support the operators of the fore
named states in refusing to sign the
scale.
