"A committee Of seven representa-
tives OF anthracite mine workers and a
committee e seven representatives OF
the anthlacte Operators, held a joint
meeting in the Reading Terminal
building yesterday afternoon to dis
cuss the mine workers demands
These demands are the same that
were drafted in Scranton last October
The operators declined to accede tc
the demands. The chief reason Of
fered for the rejection was that any
Increase in the cost OF production
would necessitate an advance in the
price OF coal and that such an ad
vance was impracticable. The opera
tors said that wages in the anthracite
mining industry we're already at .
high level and could not be increased

said they met Mr.. Lewis and his com
mittee as representatives of the an.
thracite mine workers and not as Of
aoers OF the union. The operators
called upon the report Of the strike
committee to support their refusal tc
deal With the United Mine Workers
While President Lewis, president oi
the United Mine Workers of America
has not announced what he will do, II
IL believed that he had prepared him
self for the result of yesterdays con
ference and that he will impart his in
tentions to his fellow committeeman
and perfect the details OF the mex
move before they again go into confer
ence this afternoon.

OF Suicide.

Dayton, o., Mar. 12.-Another baf
fiing mystery confronts the officials In
the discovery early Thursday after
noon of the dead body of an unknown
white woman in the canal below the
Apple street bridge. The body is de
composed, and. judging by the opinion
OF the police, must have lain In the
water about the period of a month.
About 1918 Thursday afternoon

who lives at 1923 South Ludlow
street, was rowing a small boat on the
canal with Jennie Hartley, a white
woman. The Hartley woman is EN-
ployed as a cook on a state canal boat
which is being used to clean the canal
The state boat was to remain here un'
til spring.
Woman Well Dressed.
Kieth when about 500 feet south OF
the Apple street bridge first discovered
a strange looking object in the water
a hook he was carrying in the boat
coming in contact with the object
Kieth called to Gus Myers, who is EN-
ployed on the canal boat. Police head
quarters we're soon notified and De
tective Tobias with Patrolman Weiffen
bach were sent to the scene. The body
was removed from the water and
taken to the undertaking establish
ment of c. M. Davis, on East Fifth
street. The woman was apparently 3C
years old and we'll dressed. She was
attired altogether in black. She wors
Romeo slippers, but even over these
she wore a pair of new rubber shoes
The police are yet unable to ex
press an opinion as to the probability
OF either murder or suicide. Wher
the coroner made an examination oi
the body he found in the right stock

a well dressed man, who was not rec
ognized.
