Coal Men Are peadlocked.

After conferences in the city OF Phil.
adelphia. extending since Wednesday
the anthracite coal operators and the
officials Of the United Mine Workers
of America. representing the miners
at which the question OF wage agree
ment was discussed to replace that
brought about by the anthracite strike
commission. the operators rejected the
modified demands OF the miners. and
the conference adjourned dead-locked.
There will be no strike inaugurated
by the mine workers. however. and the
only danger OF suspension Of mining
IN the near future. according to the
mine workers officials. arises from the
possibility OF the refusal of the op.
orators TO permit the miners to work
without an agreement.
The modified demands Of the miners
requested that the mine workers be
recognized as Anthracite Workers
and that certain conditions regarding
new work by the miners in which
wages we're involved and which would
give increased pay to the miners.
