SOFT COAL CONFERENCE FAILS.
Great Strike Now Seems Certain OF
 April 1.
Presidents Districts Nos. 1, z and g.

Indianapolis, March 29-Without agreement on a wage scale the joint conference of bituminous coal opera tors and miners of the central eompeti- tive district to-day adjourned sine die, leaving affairs in such a condition that a strike of from 178,000 to 3S4,500 soft coal miners besides 150,000 anthracite miners ordered out, seems inevitable on April 1, the present wage scale expiring on March 31. The mines directly af- fected are in Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and western Pennsylvania.
 Miners and operators of the south western district, comprising Missouri, Kansas, Texas, Arkansas, Oklahoma and Indian territory, have decided to report disagreement tomorrow
 Iowa miners have agreed with the operators to suspend work for sixty days. Michigan, West Virginia and Kentucky miners, it is said, will follow the lead of the central district.
 The disagreement came after strug- gle lasting ten days, and disrupts the interstate agreement which has existed since 1898 between operators and min CTS through which wage scales and other differences have been adjusted.
 The final vote in the conference of the central competitive field, on which the other districts base their settlements, was on a motion offered by President Mitchell. of the United Mine Workers, to restore for two years the wage scale of 1903, which would have been an in- crease in wages of 5.55 per cent. The operators of Illinois, Indiana and Ohio voted against the proposal and defeated it. The disruption of the conference followed. Operators of western Penn sylvania and the miners of the four states voted for the proposal.
 Following adjournment National Sec retary W. B. Wilson, of the Mine Work CTS, said:
 ''There is no likelihood of anything further being done towards settle ment. This means suspension of work. The national convention of the miners will meet tomorrow morning. The principal business will be to determine on a general policy. The question es- pecia1ly to be considered is whether the organization will permit miners to work in districts and mines where the ad- vance demanded is offered"

 Run Off ROckland, Me.--Miner Tests
 of Turning, Stopping and Full Speed
 Astern Held and Pronounced Success
 full by the Trial Board.
 Boston, March 29.-The performance to-day of the battleship New Jersey in maintaining a speed of 1918 knots an hour in four hour endurance run off the New England coast, coupled with her remarkable spurt yesterday over a measured mile at Rockland, Me-, at 19.4S knots an hour gait, places this ing company at the head of all Ameri- ing company at the head of al Ameri- can-built battleships, so far as speed Is concerned.
 It was ascertained yesterday on her standardization trial off Rockland that an average revolution of her propellers of 125,53 per minute was sufficient to drive the 15,OOO ton battleship through the water at her contract speed of nineteen knots an hour. To-day her average revolutions per minute reached 126,297, and from these figures the trial board announced that she had made an average of 1918 knots an hour com pared with 1901 made by the Rhode Is land and 1900 by the Virginia, sister ships, at their trials a few months ago. At one time to-day the New Jerseys speed reached 19.27S knots an hour for period of fifteen minutes, while her lowest for similar period was 1S.96O.
 The endurance test, as usual, began off Monhegan Island, about twenty miles south of Rockland shortly after g a. m. to-day, and when the four hours were completed the New Jersey was off Cape Ann.
 The weather conditions were very fla vorable, although in these endurance trials the condition of the wind and sea do not figure, the only question being as to whether the vessel is able to maintain the required number of reyo- lutions minute.
 Shortly after the conclusion of the run the minor tests of turning, stop ping and full speed astern were held and pronounced by the trial board to be successful.
 The New Jersey came into the Roads late this afternoon and tomorrow will be taken back to the yards to finish her equipment. It is expected that she will go into commission in May.
