miners subcommittee Of seven appoint
cd at Thursdays conference between
the coal operators and the unions spec.
ial scale committee yesterday began the
work Of formulating in detail the propo.
sitions which have already been present
ed in general form to the employers.
The task is an nrduous one and it prob.
ably will be at least week before the
committee win have the report in shape
for submission TO the subcommittee Of
seven appointed by Che operators
In the meantime there Is likely TO be
no development in the situation, as the
operators will not be able to make a
move until they learned specifically what
the mine workers will demand.
The subcommittee Of tho miners is
made up Of President Mitchell and the
three districts presidents and secretaries.
The other members of the special scale
committee are still here. but most of
them will return to the coal fields
by tonight. Some OF them will be kept
here by Mr.. Mitchell to assist tho sub
committee in preparing the technical
portions of the communication to be
given to the mine owners.
Besides meeting with the sub.commit-
tee, President Mitchell win look after
the general work of the miners organ
ization. He is receiving daily reports
from various fields including the Pitts
burg district.
So far as can be learned the situation
in the central competitive bituminous
field with relation to the deadlock on
the question of an increase in wages in
that territory remains unchanged. II
is understood, however, that influences
are at work in an endeayor to bring
about an agreement before April ! when
the two.year compact between the mine
owners and the United Mine Workers in
the central district expires.
President Mitchell steadily refused TO
DISCUSS the western Pennsylvania emf
broglio. nor would he comment on the

DEAD AT THROTTLE.
Engineer Killed in Leaning From Cab
and the Train Rushes On.

Elmira, n. y, Feb. 17.--Station
near the railroad tracks here were horri-
fled yesterday by sight which chilled
the blood. Out Of the cab OF the Mother
Hubbard engine OF passing freight
train hung the lfeless body of the en-
gineer and so far over the side that as
the train sped along the head struck
telegraph poles, semaphores, and gate
posts, Along the track was left red
trail which caused men and women ia
shudder

while others rushed away screaming II

passed, breathing Of death,
The towerrnan near the station, who
saw the lifeless body and noticed that
the train was running at a mile min.
had presence OF mind enough to wire
ahead and have the track cleared.
The conductor was the first OF the
train hands to notice that something had
gone wrong and climbing over the cars
he made his way TO the engine, where he
found the engineer dead. To set the air
brakes was but the work OF moment,
and the train was brought to stop as
it reached Wellsburg.
III it had not been for the towerman
and the action Of the conductor an ac.
cident that might have caused serious
loss Of life would have resulted.
The fireman, green hand, sat on the
other side Of the engine unconscious Of
the tragedy.
The dead engineer was Joseph Leslie
and was one of the best known drivers
on the Susquehanna Division Of the Erie
Railway. His run was between Hornells-
vile and Susquehanna.
