MINERS WILL
 DEMAND INCREASE Conference of Leaders of Miners Yesterday Rmoves
 All Discord. OWNERS DISAGREE Operators Will Be Forced to COnsil- CT tile Increase Asked Yer
 By Mine Workers.
OWNERS

Cleveland, Ohio, March 23-Whcn the bituminous coal operators re urn to Cleveland Tuesday to re- sume the joint conference they Wil find that revolution in sentiment has occurred among the miners and the former will be forced to con- sider an increase in wages. This increase, however, will not be neces- sarily a radical one and if granted all the other demands of the miners will be waived. This would also in- manded by tn illinois m ners.
 Until today the miners leaders were divided. International Presi- dent White was not ill accord with President Walker, of Illinois, Van- horn, of Indiana, or Moore, of Ohio. They felt aggrived because Whi!e had several weeks ago visited their states and consulted with the oper- ators without modifying the miners leaders. For that reason there has been dissension over the belief that President White was ill favor of re> newing the old agreements, but the dissension was removed today dur ing an extended conference between White and Walker. The latter s considered the strongest leader or the miners here and without his support the International President would be important in direct ng the policy of the miners.
 Following the conference it was admitted that both men had agreed to stand by each osher for policy looking solely for an increase i'll wages. The agreement means that Walker will take noth ng less than an advance in wages and that Van- horn and Moore will be behind him. So far as President Feehan of tn Pittsburg District is concerned he is regarded as an unknown quantity. He has not declared himself in any way except for the mine run sys- tenn of paying wages. At the same time it is believed he does not par ticularly call for the change.
 It is evident that the coal oper- ators who are taking part in the joint conference are also hopelessty divided. They have ITO leader

 Congress Most of the Time.

'CongresmaC' Stephen A. Brund. .dge, of Searcy, candidate for United States Senator ill opposition to United States Senator Jeff Davis, spoke to a room full of spectators irI the Jefferson circuit court room at the court house last night. He was introduced by Chairman Edgar Brewster, of the Jef- ferson County Democratic Central Com mlttee. Among his hearers were a number of local ministers and many business men.
 Mr. Brundidge delivered a very fcrceful speech and was listened to atteltively by those present. He re- Senate and declared that he had been absent from the Senate most of the time and especially when important legislation was pending. He charged him with pairing" with Senator Lori mer, of Illinois, and brought laughter when he declared that Senator Davis boasted Of being able to a.,ract crowd when he spoke in the present campaign, adding that a freak ot nature" could always draw a crowd.
 MT. Brundidge reviewed Senator Davis record at length and chal- lenged him to meet h.m in two speeches Monday night and Tuesday night, offering any person $100 who induced the Senator to accept the challenge. He criticised his "Co5- web speech" in the Senate and said that playing the part Of the janitor Il Congress was about the best thing Senator Davis has ever done.
 MT. Brundidge came here from England, Lonoke county, where he spoke yesterday afternoon. He will clo.e his campaign in Argenta and Little Rock Monday and Tuesday. He predicted a landslide for himself on Wednesday and urged the voters to go to the polls and vote.
