NO SOFT COAL STRIFE.
ADVANCE FOR MINERS.
Bituminous Men Take Advantage of
Threatening anthracite Situation.

Pittsburg, March 12-"There will be no strike
in the bituminous field You may say positively
that all differences between the miners and the
operators will be settled at the conference in
Indianapolis next week. The miners will secure
an advance. 1t may not be the full II per cent
they demand. but they will get advance. and
there will be shutdown in this district"
This was the statement given out by an Off
cial of the Pittsburg Coal Company this evening,
but he refused to peremit the use Of his name
1t is in line with the announcement several days
ago that deal had been made between Presi-
dent John Mitchell Of the miners and the BIZ
luminous operators. The agreement between
them was that Mitchell was either to force the
hand Of the hard coal operators and make them
sign his scale or he was to bring about strike
in the Eastern mines.
II the anthracite operators granted the ad-
vance asked by their men they would be COM
PEELED to advance prices. If they fought them
they would surrender their territory to the soft
coal operators Either way it went the bitumi-
nous men would practically become masters OF
the situation BY throwing down the gauntlet
to their men the anthracite operators have made
settlement of the bituminous scale easy.
At the time the deal was made Mitchell was
informed that unless he managed to even things
up between the hard and soft coal operators
there would be no satisfactory scale made this
year. If his men got an advance the operators
would discard the check off" system by which
the union dues are collected. This would cripple
the union financially, and It was thought better
to force the fight in the hard coal country.
In the Irwin district the strike is on, but II
does not amount to much, and the union
officials are discouraging 1t. as they do not want
any trouble with the conference coming on Ha1r
o dozen men have been arrested for tin pan
ming non-strikers at work at the Pennsylvania
mines and they will have a hearing on Friday.
The union officials are doing all in their power
TO quiet the trouble there.
