New York, April AT the request
of the operators, the conference be-
tween the committees of the coal oper-
ators and miners scheduled for today,
to consider the situation in the anthra-
cite fields, was postponed until to-
morrow.
The two subcommittee held sep
arate sessions today to consider the
situation as it now stands. The min
ers' committee had little to do as their
latest proposition, arbitration, is still
in the hands of the operators. Mitchell
and his lieutenants express the belief
that the operators will not accept the
miners offer, but will present an arbi-
tration plan radically different from
the one proposed. The miners have
decided if a counter proposition is
made they will ask for immediate ad-
journment for a day. or two in order
that the full Shamokin scale commit
tee may carefully consider the new
PLAN If the operators offer to arbi-
trate only new grievances the PROPOSE
ton is expected to meet with strong
opposition from many members of the
miners committee.
1t was announced the postponement
was requested because some OF the
operators had not yet had sufficient
opportunity to consider the miners
proposition for arbitration.

Filled With High Ideals, Some Of
Which Have Received Jots,

Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
CHICAGO, Aug. Phillip Vanzant,
son of George Vanzant, president of the
Prairie State bank, is putting in his
vaca tion as the scullion of a club at
Lake Geneva
Young Vanzant is a theological stu
dent in the University of Chicago and
his ambition is the ministry.
Vanzant is filled with high ideals and
is an earnest believer in the uplift."
He has taken the course of washing
pots and pans, carrying coal and mop
ping up grease, so that he can study
the character Of the people whom he
proposes to reach when he begins his
"uplift" crusade.
AS a son of bank president, he did
not believe he understood a scavenger,
SO he became drudge to get the other S
viewpoint
He has been here a month and some
of his ideals have been smashed and
others received severe jolts.
One Ideal Shattered
One of his most cherished ideals
about the greater democracy and the
euqality of man was smashed the first
Sunday he was there and he has not
been able to find all the pieces yet.
His father, mother and younger
brothers were guests. of the club that
day. So when it came time for dinner,
after he had turned the ice cream
freezer, thrown out the garbage,
cleaned up the pots and pans and
scrubbed the grease from the floor
where the cook had let it spill over, he
cleaned himself UP, put on his coat
and went into the dining room to eat
dinner with his family and the other
guests.
There are always snobs, and there
are some at this club.
Philip had been there a week and
every one in the club knew about him
and they knew, too, that his father,
George Vanzant, was a guest at the
club, yet just because this young man
had chosen to work out his ideals in
the preparation for his service in the
Christian ministry in his own way, by
accepting menial position and doing
the work of the Scullery, these snobs
objected to his presence in the dining
room and were so rude about it that he
was Obliged to withdraw.
Finds Kindred Souls
Other souls with ideals have light
ened his tasks. These are the wait
resses.
These girls are recruited from the
colleges. Two of them are students at
eastern colleges; one is a graduate of
wheaton, trying to earn enough to
take her to Oberlin; another is from
Northwestern, and so it goes through
the whole list.
They are strong on figuring out the
hypotenuse of a right angle and they
quote you the rules of Hegels philo-
sophy, but they sometimes have to be
told three times to bring the green
corn, and not infrequently they forget
the meat altogether.
But with all his other work and
pleasure, Vanzant has not forgotten
his Christian duties.
He has organized a Bible class among
the help, to which he devotes an hour
every Sunday AS for studying char
acter, he admits he has an opportunity y
at this Lake Geneva club with its ex-
elusive membership, to get an insight t
into characters such as the whole
Ghetto would not furnish.

BY Associated Press.
ST. PETERSBURG, Aug. From o
member of the cabinet the Associated
Press learns that the government re-
CARDS the storm raised by. the dissolu-
tion Of parliament as past and that IL
intends Immediately to carry out the
policy of "strong-handed reform" to
which Premier stolypin committed
himself.
The cardinal plank Of the program
is an attempt to appease the discon-
tented peasantry as far as possible.
The governments agrarian program,
which will not differ greatly from the
Stichinsky project, will not only be
promulgated. but probably will be
placed in effect as a temporary law,
the emperor having the right to issue
temporary laws during a recess of
parliament.
In other words, it is the intention of
the government to attempt to solve its
most difficult problem irrespective Of
parliament, in the belief that 1t will
meet with enough support to make 1t
impossible for the next parliament to
refuse its assent.
Cabinet Vavancies
Appointments to the three vacancies
in the cabinet--agriculture, commerce
and the holy synod-probably will be
announced tomorrow, M. Samarin,
member of the council of the empire,
who was offered the last named post,
has finally refused it, thus ending the
hope of securing the desired co-opera-
ton of the lower house and upper
house as well.
Prince Vassilichikoff of the famous
Russian family, father of the well
known literatteur. will probably be
minister of agriculture. Another
member of the family was recently
relieved of the command of the guard
division in connection with the mutiny
