petitive district, met today in what was
generally understood to be a final effort

and the deadlock is apparently as firm as
ever Chairman Traer announced that
the question was on the substitute mo-
ton offered by j. II. Winder, to re-
affirm the present wage scale with
conditions as they existed when that
scale was adopted, the miners to pay
the cost of mining, loading, shooting
and timbering.
A. ]. Moorehead, Of Illinois. was the
first speaker for the operators. He
said the operators would be pleased
to nav the miners an increase In
wages. but it was a business impossi-
bility at this time.
]. H. Walker. the miners delegate
from Illinois, discussed conditions in
that state, arguing that they warrant
ed an advance in wages
Herman c. Perry. president of the
Illinois miners, and Vice President I.
L. Lewis, replied to some statements
made by Moorehead, claiming the lat
ter was one Of those operators who
signed a scale and then paid the min
ers cents less.
After speeches by H. N. Taylor and
r. r. Hammond for the operators ana
Secretary w. d. Ryan and John NIL
chell for the miners, recess was tax
en- until afternoon.
