UL IMATUM
 OF MITCHELL Miners Will Insist on
 1903 Scale. COMMITTEE CANNOT AGREE Fight Will Be Carried to Floor of
 the Convention. Not Now Believed the Men VIII sign a Contract Unless all the Operators Grant Demands of the
 Union.

Indianapolis, Ind, March 2s.-Ths United Mine workers of America. through John Mitchell, president of the organization; T. |. Lewis. vice-presi- dent and Herman c. Perry. president of the Illinois miners, this afternoon presented to the coal operators in the executive session of the joint scale committee of the central competitive district their ultimatum on the dispute over the wage scale.
 The demand of the miners, as stated in their ultimatum, is for a restoration of the wage scale of 1903, which is an increase of 5.55 per cent.
 Upon receipt of the ultimatum the operators secured an adjournment of the committee until tomorrow morning, when 1t is expected a definite answer to the miners will be given. It is an- tIeIpated that this reply will be re- fusal by the operators and the commit tee will report a disagreement to the joint conference of miners and opera tors. The fight In that case will be continued on the floor of the joint con vention.
 Tonight there is as little prospect for an agreement being reached as there has been at any timo.
 The morning session of the commit tee was without result. After the noon adjournment John Mitchell. president of the miners, took the floor and said he had been informed on reliable au- thority of rumors in the corridors of the Claypool hotel where the sessions were being held that the operators be- Iieved that if they would stand firmly by their position and prolong the ses- sions of the joint scale committee, the miners would agree to sign the present scale and recede from their demand of an increase in wages.
 Nothing Less Tham 1903 Scale.
 He said he wanted to explain to the operators that there would be under no circumstances an agreement at less than the scale of 1903 unless after a disbursement the operators would en- force less terms and he did not believe they could.
 MT. Lewis. vice president of the United Mine Workers. followed MT. Mitchell He said he was surprised 10 learn at the present stage of the nro- ceedings that such rumors were afioat. and continuing, said:
 T want to say more than President Mitchell has said. We will be divided neither in this scale conference. out of this scale conference. fin the conven- ton or anywhere else. so far as l am concerned. If we have got to such q point in these deliberations where 1t is case of wait to see who Is going to be able to divide the forces on either side then I believe we are considering very dangerous proposition"
 Ehe feeling tonight is that the min CTS under no circumstances will allow any district to sign even the advance scale demanded unless it is paid in all the four States of the central competi- tive fields.
