is REACHED BY CONFERENCE

Cleeland, Ohio, April ARRANGE
ments were completed Saturday night
for a reopening of negotiations to set
tie their wage dispute.
The operators and miner conference
| will be held in Philadelphia April 10.
A months suspension In the anthracite
! mines was thought probable.
| The bituminous miners, after an IL
days' conference with the operators

result Of the final vote.
Reports to the heads Of the United

copied generally. 1t was stated that
the suspension in all the mines involved
would cause a loss In coal production
to the country Of $4,000 tons a
month. and the men will lose in pay

The advance in pay to the bituminous
miners secured by their new contract

increase over their present pay. The
bituminous conference adjourned after
the new scale was signed. The scale
gives the men an increase Of 5 certs a
ton FOR the mining or lump coal, and a
proportionate increase for all kinds Of
labor.

and under what conditions the refer
endum vote Is to be taken are details
left to be decided by the unions policy

NOT BELIEVED SUSPENSION OF
WORK WILL LAST VERY LONG

New York, April 2.-Anthracite coal
operators believe the suspension of
work in the hard coal region which
went into effect today, will not con-
tinue long and that the meeting Of the
operators committee and representa-
tives of the miners in Philadelphia on
April 10 will result in e basis OF settle
ment. This belief is strengthened. tho
operators say, by the fact that there
have been no traces Of bitterness shown
on either side.
Just what proposition the miners Will
submit has not been learned, but the
operators think the chief points of
issue will be the question Of increased
wages n recognition Of the union.
Most OF the operators are In favor Of
granting an increase in wages, while
one railroad Is said to oppose an in
crease, claiming that it would wipe out
it's margin Of profit.
1t Is reported here today several in"
dependent companies had made special
arrangements with the men to continue
mining and nat this coal would be sold
to at ar increased cost.
