Denied All Rumers Of Concessions ca
Mere specuiations.


New York. April s.--Aithoush moth.
Ing occurred to change the sknation.
there was general expectatioh Tues.
day morning that the confclknce be-
tween the sub committees OF anthra.
cite operators and miners. 20 be
held In the Jersey Central building.
would bear fruit There was strong
optimistic feeling among represent.
atives OF the miners that something
would happen TO greatly lrelieveSAe
situation. President Mitchell. duriSg
the forenoon said there was no change
In the situation so far as the miners
are concerned. The men stlli stand
firm for what they have asked. and
he felt confident that the operators
would not continue to maintain the
attitude they have assumed IN 10 the
present time. Mr.. Mitchell denied All
rumors OF concessions to be made by
him. All reports Of that character.
ne said. were mere speculation. Not.
outstanding Mitchell's firm stand. II
Is now considered quite likely the
Shamokin scale committee would
rather make concessions than declare
strike az this time.
Tie subcommittee of miners. which
Is made up OF District Presidents
Nichols and Fahey and District sec.
retaries Dempsey. Gallagher and
Hartley. with President Mitchell as
chairman. had brief meeting az
headquarters AZ the Ashland House
prior 20 the conference with operators.
What took place at this gathering was
not made public. but II Is understood
the committee reviewed develop
Lents In connection with suspension
Of mining which took place through
out the hard coal fields. Subcommit
tee members al: expressed themselves
satisfied with the situation: said they
were confident that there would be
no break In the ranks Of the miners.
Members OF the Shamokin scale com
mittee. who number 1866. began arriv-
ing here during the forenoon. II had
been planned 10 hold n meeting OF
this committee Tuesday night 10 re-
ceive reports from the subcommittee
OF seven.
President Mitchell received a large
number OF kilograms from various
bitumInbus districts OF the Union. He
informed a reporter for the Associated
Press that affairs in the soft coal sec
lions were working themselves out
just as he had expected they would.
All this information he said. was Of
favorable character Thousands OF mon
have returned to mines az increased
pay and he expected to soon hear that
many more soft coal companies have
agreed 10 the 1908 scale.
President Baer OF the Reading COM
pany arrived here from Philadelphia
shortly after 10 o'clock and Immediate
ly went into conference with officials
Of other coal carrying roads.
