MINERS TURNED DOWN.
Coal Operators Refuse Increase of
 Pay or Recognition of Union.

| Coal Operators Refuse Increase of Pay or Recognition of Union. NEW YORK. Feb. 9.-Altbough the presidents of the coal carrying rail 1 roads, representing the anthracite mine operators of Pennsylvania. are to meet the representatives of the miners in this city in conference on Feb. 15 to consider the questions in dispute be- tween the employers and the workmen, which are now regarded as seriously threatening another great coal strike, John Mitchell. president of the United Mine Workers. has received letter from David Wilcox, president of the Delaware and Hudson company, de- claring positively that no concession will he made to the miners.
 While Mir. Wilcox speaks officially only for himself and his own company, he, in fact, represents all the coal op- orators in the position he has taken upon the question at issue. Mir. Will COX points out in his letter that the award made by the anthracite coal commission appointed at the close of the last big strike was reached after a most careful consideration of all the conditions obtaining in the coal fields. He contends that the terms of the award are eminently just and that he can see no reason why they should be changed.
 The men. he says, are getting more wages than they ever received before, all that the business will stand. and that he will not accept for his company any change from the existing condi- tions under the award respecting wages, hours or the recognition of the union. .a.
 The greatest stumbling block in the present difficulty is the refusal of the operators to recognize the union. This was a point that gave the most trouble preceding and during the last great strike of the coal miners.

INDIANS TO
ASSIST LIBBY
DR.. Libby Leaves About May
80 to Explore Among the
Redskins,

DR.. Grin G. Libby, professor of his
tory at the university, and secretary
of the State Historical society, will
leave about May Goth for three
weeks stay at Stanton, situated at
the junction of the Missouri and the
Knife rivers. Stanton is in Mercer
county and is not a great distance
from the Fort Berthold Indian reserva-
ton. At that place he will be met by
three of the Indian leaders and will be
escorted to the site of the old Indian
village occupied by the tribes of Man
dams and eros Ventes about the time
of the Bird Woman. Sakakewea, who
guided the Lewis and Clark expedi-
ton safely through many tight places.
The three delegates that will meet DR..
Libby represent the three tribes most
concerned in the work. These tribes
are the Rees, the Mandans and the
eros Ventes, and up to short time
ago, in common they occupied one VIII
lage a little farther up the river.
BY this visit to the village itself DR..
LIBBY hopes to be able to locate many
points of interest and to clear up many
doubtful things in connection with
Indian affairs In that vicinity. He has
endeavored to have the delegation
which is to meet him fully prepared
for the trip as far as information goes.

Its long march to the Pacific. The
most famous of the known posts is
the one located just across the Mis-
souri, from Fort Mandan and gener-
ally known as Fort Clark. In this fort
the expedition spent the awful winter
of 1SO4-O5.
The Indians have entered into the
work with an earnestness that ia smr-
prising and with their able assistance
much valuable data should be secured.
DR.. Libby has stirred them up consid-
erably by the application Of a few
words concerning their tribal spirit
and now each tribe is putting forth it's
best efforts so that It shall be well
represented In the report.
Inc data secured by the trip will he
