MINERS MEET OPERATORS
LATE THIS AFTERNOON
Recognition Of President Lewis Off
cial Title is Zone Of Contention
in Anthracite Controversy.

PHILADELPHIA. April S.-With
recognitions of Thomas l.. Lewis offi-
cial title of president OF the United
Mine Workers OF America the bone
OF contention. the committee of an
thracite miners will again go into con-
ference with the coal operators here
late this afternoon. The leaders or
the mine workers. although refusing TO
go into details in discussing the situa-
ton. seemed sanguine that the con-
ference this afternoon will not only
put the three-year agreement again
in force but that the union will in
some way be recognized.
Lewis. after an early morning con-
ference with his associates. again de-
clared that he could sign no agreement
in his individual capacity; that his
business at the conference was as the
chosen leader of the United Mine
Workers. and as such he would have
10 act.
Soon after the conference between
the operators and miners yesterday
afternoon. when the former insisted
that the three-year agreement be
signed within "a hours. Lewis called
a meeting OF the three district boards
After two-hours' session this gather
ing adjourned until 10 o'clock today.
An appeal TO the operators to recog-
nize the committee as coming from
the United Mine Workers was framed
and the other grievances of the men
also set forth.
The mine workers do not want to
force a tie up, but will today tell the
operators that they fail TO understand
why their president should be asked
to sign an agreement when he Is not
to be recognized in his official capa.

MILLION IN WHEAT.
Continues Unloading Long Line OF
May Holdings-Sold 100000
Bushels Yesterday.

CHICAGO. April S.-After cleaning
IN between 81 100000 and sl.500,V00
during the three days which ended
with yesterdays wild session in the
wheat pit, James A. Patten. the king
of the wheat market today contin-
ued unloading his long line OF May
wheat and taking profits.
When May opened at Sl.25 IA this
morning Patten brokers Immediately
began To sell in large lots. giving evil
dence that their principal would get
rid of almost as much grain today as
he did yesterday.
II is impossible TO get an accurate
statement OF how much he unloaded
Yesterday. but we'll Informed brokers
say he sold about 100000 bushels OF
May wheat and considerable July.
Patten bought most OF this wheat at
81 10 l.04. giving him a profit OF from
20 TO % cents on every bushel sold.
Patten is unloading his wheat with
great skill
Many of the big shorts, chiefly Wall
ST men. are hard pressed ami are
willing TO pay almost any price Tor
May wheat Realizing this. Patten
is giving them large QUANTITIES AT Tue
record prices prevailing.
During the first hour this morning.
his enormous sales sent the price OF
May wheat down from $l.25 IA TO
$l247-S. Then he ceased selling for a
time and the market Immediately
bounded back To the opening figure.
On the squirt Patten again sold
heavily, unloading probably more than
he did earlier in the day
This appears to be Patterns system
to sell heavily while the market is
at s1.25 or over and TO stop selling
at once as soon as II falls below $l.25.
Having such an enormous quantity OF
the cereal he can thus control the
market at will. 1t is expected that be
fore the day is over, he will have TAX
en- nearly sl,000,000 more in profits.

TELLS WHY MINISTERS
DON'T SPEAK OF HELL
Physical Punishment Doesn't Express
Consequences Of Sin, Says Rev.
John Boyd


We preachers are accused OF new
or speaking of hell. or OF the fres OF
torment. and grant II Is because OF
my theology. which Is belief In the
divine fatherhood; I believe that ply
steal torture is inadequate TO express
the possible consequences OF a soul
that has violated the infinite affections
OF the great Father" said the Rev.
John II. Boyd. ID. d.. pastor OF the
First Presbyterian church. in his noon
day I-enten address in the Detroi,
opera house, Thursday.
"A great many men in our times are
thinking about God IN the universal
Fatherhood. The great thought OF
His nearness, His kindness. His
boundless mercies. lies like benedic-
ton upon the heart Of the young child
Of today. This is my theology. | be-
leve that God is the universal Father.
accept the sentiment in all its rich
ness. in all of it's implications and
consequences.
I'VE have made man simply Grim
inal. We have threatened punishment
for sin. but tell you that when Jesus
Christ attempted TO tell men about sin.
he spoke not Of law, nor OF violated
authority. nor OF physical torture. but
He drew the picture of willful child
that went away from his fathers home
and out OF the fathers heart into the
distant country. and he showed us the
return OF the penitent boy and the
open herat of the forfiving father. II
we listen to this description, we will
find that sin has a far darker aspect
than when we regard IL as breach OF
law. or a violation OF authority. IL Is
disappointment of Gods love for us.
