Coal Operators Win The Battle With
The ---President Mitchell and
His Committee Agreed to Return
tOWOrk atConferenCe at Scranton.
THE SITUATION.
Operators Turned Down Every
thing and Negotiations Closed
Up to Mitchell to Decide.

SCRANTON, Pa, May 5-At a
conference of the miners committee
held this morning it was decided to
settle the coal strike at the old sched-
ule of 1903. President Mitchell pre-
sided. This means victory for the
mine operators. 1t is understood that
the operators refused to carry on any
further negotiations and left it to-
the miners to return to work at the
old schedule or remain idle and Pres
ident Mitchell did not want the re-
sponsibility of tying up the industries
of the country by closing the mines
indefinitely. The several outbreaks
of lawlessness have illustrated what
would take place ii the strike con-
tinued.
The new agreement will be drawn
up like the one which has just expir-
ed and will be signed by both sides
at once The men are expected to re-
turn to work Monday.
SCRANTON, Pa, May 5.-President
Mitchell states that the scale commits
tee has referred the whole labor situa-
ton to a subcommittee consisting of
himself and the district union presi-
dents and secretaries to frame report
and recommendations for presentation
to the convention.
There is every prospect that strike
of the anthracite miners may be avert
ed.
At the session OF the convention the
delegates voted to refer the question OF
a strike or the acceptance of the opera
tors proposal for a continuance under
the present scale back to speciai
committee.
The committee, composed of the ex-
ecutive boards of the three anthracite
districts, was instructed to make rec
lmmendation to the convention.
Immediately after Adjournment tne
scale committee met to debate the
course it will follow.
With the thirty-six members OF TINS
committee now rests the welfare OF the
| 10000 mine workers.
There is reason to believe that
peaceful settlement will be made and
that the men that have been idle since
April 1 will soon be ordered back 70
the mines.
The convention will declare itself
finally and definitely today The en-
tire situation is now believed to rest
with President John Mitchell Theo-
retically it is in the hands of the gem
eral scale committee. but in reality
Mr. Mitchell IS the guiding spirit.

SHORT WEIGHT ICE.
Measure Your Lamp if You Haze
No Scales to Weigh 1t.

New Workers have heard great deal in recent
years of the impositions of the Ice Trust. but OF
the minor exactions of the ice dealer they hear
little. The trust raises prices and at once every
body knows it and protests The results are
occasionally visible, as for example, the edifying
spectacle Of some Of Toledos most respected
citizens on their way to the local Bastie. But
the humble individual the delivery wagon is
immune. He constantly raises prices beyond the
dreams of the most avaricious trust magnate.
by the simple process of lessenng the weight Of
a pound
Early in the history of the common law the
King undertook the regulation Of weights and
measures and the use of false ones was in con-
sequence an attack on a function of the govern
ment and felony That the offence is not now
lightly considered may be gathered from the fol-
lowing paragraph in the Penal Code:

All Furniture Veneered.

1t may not generally be known, "
said J. b. Elderson OF Michigan. but
there is today scarcely a piece Of
furniture made that is not veneered.
This is not altogether due to the high
cost of fine woods, such as birdseye
maple, mahogany, redwood and other
varieties, which has a great deal to do
with it, but owing to it being difficult
to get a piece of wood of sufficient
size that will not split, making un-
slightly assures.
In making piano tops, for example,
four or five layers of pine or poplar
are laid with the grain running diff
ferent and then glued together under
heavy pressure. Then, when the ven
eer is firmly glued to this, the whole
malles up in such manner that the
piece will withstand almost any kind
of china tie without Wrapping or crack
ing.
This is true, not only Of the
finer woods, but also of oak, which Is
SO prone to what we call 'wind-split-
ting ana for that reason all modern
oak furniture is veneered. "-Balti-
