MINERS HAVING HARD TASK
Hours session Friday I'm EndeRvOr to
Find Common Isrolnd with
Operators.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, March 13.-The
convention of the United Mine Workers of
America was in session an hour today and
adjourned until tomorrow to await the re-
port of the scale committee to which has
been referred the decision as to the course
of the organization in the impending wage
troubles with the operators.
T. D. Nichols of the Wilkes -Barre-Scran-
ton, Pa, district reported to the conven-
ton that the scale committee had not
reached an agreement The scale commit
tee has been at work since yesterday. 1t is
understood that's 1t has voted down two
propositions in order to get to the real
question of wage demands While all the
members OF the committee are secretive, 1t
is reported indirectly that the committee
has defeated the proposition to refuse to
sign scale except by competitive districts
and had refused to entertain a motion that
the miners continue work after April l.,
under present conditions pending the set
tlement of a new wage scale. The two pro-
positions now being considered, 1t is un-
derstood. are to edopt wage demands and
then issue a call to the operators for a
joint conference, inviting any and all
operators to sign and keep their mines
open, or to issue call for joint conferences
by districts 1t is probable the present
wage scale will be insisted upon.
There is a possibility that the whole mat
ter of policy or the making Of contracts
may be left by the convention in the hands
OF the national scale committee or the ma
tional executive board, giving it full discre-
tion and power to act. The object of this
movement would be to make it possible for
the committee to enter into such arrange
ments April l as are thought advisable.
This probably would permit the committee
to grant privilege to operate mines in dis
tricts where the operators indicate that
they are willing to proceed very soon to a
