No Strike In Plttsburg District.

Pittsburg, Pa, March 31.-Coal op-
orators and mine workers who return
ed today from the indianapolis conven-
tion gave assurance that there will be
no strike in the Pittsburg district this
year. Patrick Dolan said the men
would go to work as usual on Tuesday
morning, and Chairman Francis l..
Robbins, OF the Pittsburg Coal Compa-
ny, who fought for more than a week
to prevent an industrial war, said oper-
ations at their mines would not cease
for day. All but the Independents ex-
pressed their pleasure over the result
at indianapolis, and several of the lat
ter said they would pay the rate deci-
ded upon under certain conditions.
Pending a meeting being arranged for
next week, however, no action would
be taken.
Mr.. Robbins said arrangements
would be made at once to sign the
scale, and that Monday, being a holiday
all the mines controlled by his compa-
ny would be in operation on Tuesday.
The statement that the mines were tc
be closed down for thirty days was
without foundation.

wRECKERs TURN WILD CARS LOOSE
AtroCIous Crime That Cost the Lives Of
Three Men.

Charlotte, N. c., March 81. The
Southern Railways northbound freight
train, No. 72 collided with several wild
freight cars on the north end of Broad
River Trestle, near Blacksburg, S. c.
this morning, and Fireman John Loop
er and Brakeman ]. N. King were in
stantly killed. Engineer Wooten, was
perhaps, fatally injured.
The wild cars which had been left on
the side track at Blacksburg by night
train in some unknown way got on the
main track, and rolling down a grade at
the rate of 80 or 40 miles an hour, met
the freight train near the trestle with
fearful impact. The engine was thrown
from the track and badly damaged.
Several of the cars were literally mash
ed into kindling wood.
Fireman Looper lived in Greenville,
S. C. and Brakeman King somewhere
in Virginia.
The bodies were taken to Gaffney,
from where they will be shipped to the
respective homes of the dead men,
There is now strong reason for the be-
lief that the wreck was caused by plans
or train-wreckers, who, knowing the
scedule of the fast freight, deliberate
Iy opened the switch at Blacksburg.

LITTLE CHANCE FOR AGREEMENT
Operators Determined to Combat De
mands of Anthracite Miners

New York, April 8. While rumors
that peace pact is likely between the
anthracite coal miners committee and
the operators were widely circulated
following today's conference, they are
based entirely on the fact that anoth-
er meeting is to be held Thursday, and
the further fact that the expected
break did not come today.
1t is generally accepted that there
is but little chance of peaceful agree
ment, as the operators are determined
to combat the miners demands,
although some are willing to grant
the miners an increase of wages.
Today's conference was devoted en-
tirely to an elucidation of the miners
demands by President Mitchell and
District President Nickols. The oper-
ators assumed a listening attitude.
The proposition for another meeting
Thursday comes from President Mitch
ell.
Both the operators and the miners
held seperate meetings this evening tc
discuss the situation, but made nc
statements.

Dudley, attorneys of Hampton, COM
menced today in the circuit court of
Richmond, suit to compel the auditor
to issue a warrant for the bill making
the appropriation. The bill passed
both houses and was agreed to in con-
ference and the omission was clerical
error in it's enrolment and went to the
Governor for his signature in its emas-
culated form.
These facts are set forth in the bill
in chancery and the movement has the
sympathy and endorsement of the Gov
ernor. The action is without precedent
and creates much interest.

The FIRST DAY
OF Big STRIKE
Many Miners Idle, $4,000 Men Being
Out in Pennsylvania Alone.
JOHN MITCHELL IN CHEERFUL MOOD.
Says More Than 100000 Soft Coal Miners
Already Granted DemandS-Ready for
New York Conference.
JOHN MITCHELL IN CHEERFUL MOOD.

Philadelphia, April 2.-There was a
complete suspension of mining opera
tions in the anthracite region today in
accordance with the order issued last
week by President Mitchell of the
mine workers of America, and the
scale committee of that organization,
with the solitary exception of the Ok
ford colliery, call Independent opera
ton near Scranton, which employs
about five hundred hands with daily
capacity of about 100, 900 tons. Every
coIliery was open, as usual, and in read
mess for the workers, but there was no
response to the blowing of the whistles
other than the appearance of the en-
gineers, firemen, pumpmen and others
whose presence is necessary to pre-
serve them from injury and who were
exempted in President Mitchell's order.
The action of the miners occasioned
no surprise on the part of the opera
tors. The fact that most of the mine
workers when they left the mine on
Saturday took their working materials
with them was indicative of their inten-
ton to remain away from the collieries
until ordered to return by President
Mitchell. The best feeling between
operators and miners is reported from
all sections and the hope that a salts
factory agreement may be reached at
the conference in New York tomorrow
is expressed on both sides.
Significance is attached by the miners
to the fact that there is no apparent
attempt on the part of the operators to
import non-union labor which they re-
gard as favorable sign. The miners
leaders are careful to assert Chat nc
strike has been declared.
During the day in several of the dis
.tricts groups of men picketed the ap-
proaches to the collieries, but their
presence was unnecessary. In the VI
cinity of Scranton most of the washer
les were operated today and it is SAID
more will be worked in various sections
tomorrow.
There are 400 colliesies in the anthra'
cite region, employing 100000 mer
and boys. Miners officials tonight esti-
rnated.the number of mine workers
who obeyed the order to suspend opera
tions as follows;
Sub-districts, number l., Carbondale,
24,OOO; No.2, Scranton, $4,000; No. 8,
Pittston, 5000; No. 4, Hazleton. r.
900; No. 6, Shenandoah, 1900; No.7
Shamokin, 1900; No. 8, POttsville, g.
600. Total 143, 900. This leaves 17,OO(
men who are permitted to continue al
work to prevent the mines from flood
ing.
The only disturbance that marked the
closing of the mines occurred at Moo
sic, a small town near Scranton, where
John Shepherd, civil engineer, at the
consolidated colliery of the Pennsylva
MIA Coal Company, war shot in the hiI
by.Anthony Coptisk, mine worker
Coptisk had an argument with min'
guard during which he shot at the lat
ter. The bullet went wild and strucl

THE BIG STORE

the strike of soft coal miners will not
be extensive for any length of time,
many operators already having express
ed a willingness to grant the increase in
wages asked by the miners union.
AS today was holiday nothing def
mite was done to determine the exact
status of the situation.
The prospective situation in the va
rious fields, so far as could be learned
tonight follows:
Indiana-Nearly all operators in the
south end of the state and many in the
center will sign the advance scale ac-
cording to the miners; but the opera
tors chairman says only few will
grant the advance. All mines are idle
today.
Ohio-Six coal companies controll-
ing one-sixth of the output of the
state have declared their willingness to
pay the 1908 scale.
Illinois Many mines will be in opera
ton tomorrow. Operators all over the
state have expressed willingness to
sign the 1903 scale.
Western Pennsylvania-Almost all
bituminous coal,mines in Pennsylvania
will grant the 1903 scale.
West Virginia-No strike on.
Iowa-Operators and miners meet
tomorrow, when, it is expected, ar
agreement will be reached to reopen
mines at once.
Michigan-Operators and miners
meet tomorrow with good prospects Of
settlement.
Kentucky-No strike.
Southwestern District-All the Goa
mines in Kansas, Missouri, Texas, Ar
kansas, Indian Territory and Oklaho
ma are idle, the $4,000 miners having
struck. 1t is expected that numerous
operators will sign the scale soon, al
though none has done so yet.
