MINERS AND OPERATORS.
A Conference VIII Be Held to Dis
Cuss Wages.


indianapolis, Ind, Feb 26.-Min-
ers and operators of the central COM
petitive district, including western
Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana and Illi-
nois, will meet tomorrow for their
adjourned joint conference. Consid-
Grafton will be resumed Of the ques-
ton of calling a joint wage conven-
ton to re-establish tho interstate
wage agreement. Upon this agree
ment is based the wage scales of the
other districts of the United Mine
Workers of America.
The special convention that will
probably be called as the result of
the conference tomorrow may meet
at Chicago 1t will be national con-
vention and not confined to the five
districts in the central competitive
field. Such a convention to ratify the
wage agreement will cost the miners
organization SIS, 900.
Because of the fact that neither
the governor of Indiana nor the
mayor of Indianapolis welcomed the
delegates to the last national conven-
ton, it is unlikely that the general
convention will ever again be held
the next regular meeting.
