swamp near Fort Gibbon, cortai~-
ing 30 pounds Of dust and 80 poun's
in shot, while the genuine hcx weighed

Of bars SO boxed, remarked upon the
lightness of the package that was sup
posed to contain $4,000. The boxes
were on the lower deck of the steamer
in plain view of every one, and it was
a simple matter to test their weight
by lifting them, and the one that was
supposed to contain the larger amount
could be shifted about very easily,
while the smaller box remained glued
to the deck.

HARD COAL OPERATORS ASSERT
MINE WORKERS MUST BACK
DOWN OR STRIKE.
FULL UNDERSTANDING IS REACHED
POLICY TO BE PURSUED At COM.
ING JOINT CONFERENCE FL
NALLY ADOPTED.

New York, Feb. 1.-THE coal mine
operators have come to a full under
standing and have agreed as to the
general policy they will pursue at the
conference with the committee of the
Mine Workers. union to be held here
Thursday. The presidents of the coal
carrying roads are unwilling to dis
cuss for publication the questions at
issue between themselves and the
United Mine Workers prior 10 their
meeting with Mr.. Mitchell and his
associates, but their position, elected
by careful canvass, is, as n president
put it, such that "the MIXERS will have
to strike or back down."
I'VE do not PROPOSE" he said, "to
accede to their demands in any way
and do not see what else they can do
but strike. They are coming into this
conference to demand an eight-hour
day and recognition of the union, be-
sides other things. It was clearly
shown in the report of the anthracite
strike commission in 1902 that the
miners do not work eight hours a day
and the claim is only a disguised de-
mand for higher rate of wages per
hour. The anthracite commission also
decided that it was the right of the
operators to employ either union or
nonunion miners without discrimina-
ton. These are the two main points
of the demand the miners committee
will make and both have been ALREADY
decided by an eminent commission and
have been adhered to r%igorously.'
