Prospects for Peaceful Settle
ment of Differences Are
Not So Bright.
WITHOUT RESULT
Miners Stick for Recognition of Ma
tiOnal Union-Miners Will
Hold Convention.

Philadelphia, March IA = The con-
ference between the subcommittee Of
the anthracite mine workers and the
operators to arrange new agreement
to go into effect at the expiration Of
the present working arrangement
came to an end late yesterday after
noon without result. While the pros
poets are not as bright as they were
for peaceful settlement, there is still
hope that radical action by either side
will be avoided. The executive boards
will issue a call for a convention of
the miners Of the three anthracite
districts to be held in one of the min
ing towns for the purpose of consider
ing plans for further action and then
will follow another conference with
the operators before March 81. The
counter proposition of the mining
companies to renew the present
agreement for another term of three
years will be placed before the con-
vention by the executive boards of the
worllmen. National President levin
of the union said after yesterdays
meeting that the suggestion for an
other conference came from the oper-
ators.
Insist on Recognition.
The miners leader. before yester-
days conference. stated that the min
ers' representatives would not sign an
agreement IN ess it provides for rec
ognition of the United Mine Workers
CT America. 1t also, he said, must be
signed by the miners as officers of the
I'm on, and not as representatives of
the anthracite mine workers. If the
miners support him in his attitude, it
looks as if there will be no agree
ment, as the operators since 1900
have been unalterably opposed to rec
ogniticn Of the miners organization.
There is a possibility of the men
continuing to work without an agree
ment and striking at the various col
l1eries as grievances come up, if they
are not adjusted by the superintend-
ents of these mines. This, it is point
ed out, would be a return to the cha
otto conditions that prevailed prior to
the strike of 1902, when there were
strikes every day in all sections of the
anthracite regions, making the amount
of coal production from day to day I'M
certain.

Bio Things In the House.

BY sticking very close to busi-
ness the House was enabled to get
through with two very important
measures as well as dispose of an i'm
pcrtant resolution. 1t was strictly
big Things" day in that body, as no
routine matter was considered aside
from some petitions sent up just after
the House convened
The most important matter, perhaps,
was the passage of the bill by Mr..
Morris of Cleburne, providing for work
ing the convicts on the public roads
of the state under the supervision of
the various county judges. The bill
passed by vote of 63 to 5, which in
dicates that it should pass the Senate
without particular trouble. The chief
features of the bill are that it affects
only short-term convicts-that is,
those on five-year sentence and under;
leaves the adoption of the plan option
al with the county; places the di-
rection of the convicts strictly under
the jurisdiction of the county judge,
who is to name whatever wardens,
road experts or other officers he
deems necessary for carrying on the
work; limits the time to working con-
victs to 10 hours per day and between
sunup and sunset, and gives the
county judge the right, with the con-
sent of the prisoner under indictment,
but not yet convicted, to allow such
prisoner to work on the roads in
advance of his trial, allowing him
proper credit therefor, which amount
is to be refunded in case of acquittal
or applied on the sentence if finally
convicted, but at all times avoiding
the necessity ia prisoner lying in Jail
if he cares to take advantage of the
oportunity to work out his prospec-
tive sentence in advance.
The other measure, considerably de-
bated and finally adopted, was the
Seamaster amendment to the Warnock
banking bill, provinding for the de-
positors' guarantee feature, some
what modified from the feature as
embodied in the Oklahoma banking
law.
