INDIANAPOLIS, March 23.-The
deadlock coal argument between the op'
orators and miners continued today.
Both committees will meet again tomor-
row. +. L. Robbins, of the Western
Pennsylvania operators, was the target
for several vigorous attacks on his posi-
tion in favor of paying the scale Of
1908. which will mean an advance Of
$50 per cent in wages in that district
and would comply with the demands of
the miners Robbins stated on the floor
he did not propose to be dictated to by
the operators of Illinois, Indiana, and
Ohio. He said his position was fair and
Just to all interests and the Pittsburg
Coal Company, which he represented
was willing to pay the advance in wages
asked. He said he was willing to pay
the advance in his own mines, in Penn
svlvania, Illinois, and Ohio, and had re-
ceived notice that an Illinois Company
with an annual output of millions of
tons had instructed its representative to
vote with him. Robbins said the coun-

G. A. Magoon, representing the West

said that if the Pittsburg Coal Company
paid the advance and operated its mine
the Independent operators would do the
same. The discussion between the op-
orators became so heated that the rep
resentatiyes of the miners were asked
to withdraw for an hour. They COM

recess until tomorrow was taken. The
operators are in conference by states
