EXPECT AGREEMENT SOON
Coal Conferrees Adjourn to Meet
Here Next Tuesday.
PROGRESS IS ANNOUNCED
Report of Tentative Under
standing Denied in Statement
Issued by Committee.

Philadelphia April 13-Havinc been un-
able thus far TO reach q final agreement
on the matters at issue between the anthra-
cite mine workers and the coal operators,
the subcommittee which is trying 10 bring
about an amicable settlement adjourned
this afternoon to meet in New York on
Tuesday. The failure TO agree after three
days discussion does not mean that hitch
has taken place but is due to the compli-
Gated conditions encountered in trying to
reach a basis of settlement for the entire
hard coal fields. The methods OF mining
coal and paying the mine workers differ in
each Of the three principal anthracite fields.
There was report to-day that ten
tative agreement had been reached, but 1t
was denied I'm a statement issued by the
committee 1t was added that AL mat
tiers in dispute being discussed with tho
utmost care"
When the committee adjourned II was an
nounced that progress was being made and
that the members were hopeful Of a settle
ment. 1t is thought the committee in its
three days OF consideration of the nine de-
mands of the men have come 10 an under
standing on some Of the grievances. II is
fully expected that compromise agree
ment will be reached without much more
delay. The fact that further discussion
will be carried on in New York, where
most of the presidents Of the coal com
panies have their headquarters. leads 10
the belief that an agreement is not far of.
When the subcommittee is ready to make
a report and II the report proves 10 be an
agreement 1t will he passed on by the full
committee of ten operators and ten min
ers. If the full committee rathes the work
Of the subcommittee the agreement will
be submitted to convention of the min
ers, to be held probably I'm Wilkes Barre.
Before all this can come about another
week will pass.
To-day marked the close of the second
week OF the suspension. The entire coal
territory remains quiet but I'm some sec
tions the miners are showing little impa-
thence over the delay in reaching a settle
ment. The loss in wages in the second
week has been greater than in the first,
owing TO the larger number OF railroad men
and others who depend upon the coal trade
for employment being idle. The feeling
throughout the coal regions is still optimis-
tic that an amicable agreement will be
reached

CONTEND ALL THE PUBLIC
SERVICE LAWS ARE VOID

Montpeler, Nov. 13.-It became known
here to-day that the brief submitted for
the Rutland railroad in the case Of
George W. Sabre vs.. the Rutland and
Central Vermont railways involves the
contention that the whole existing public
service commission laws are void. II this
argument succeeds, 1t will at one fell
stroke abolish The public service COM
mission. The railroad does not contend
that the State does not need public
service commission, but argues that
owing to the confusion of judicial and
executive powers vested in the same body,
the commission. as it exists at present.
is not in conformity with the principles
of the STATE and national constitutions.
ii Is doubtful If any such far-reaching
principle has been raised In Vermont In
many years.
The Sabre case which was to have come
up for argument before the supreme
court this afternoon arose with the filing
of a petition by citizens of Alburg to
have the railroads construct and operate
gates at a crossing. \ hearing was had
before the public service commission on
November 16, 1911 Later the commission
Is alleged to have sent man to Alburg
to gather evidence.

order directing the railroads to construct
ana operate the desired gates The rail-
roads promptly appealed from the order

WILSON TO REVISE TARIFF,

Princeton. N. j., Nov. l3-Presdent-
elect Woodrow Wilson announced tonight
m speaking OF the tariff and the monopoly
question that he proposed to carry out the
pledges he made in hiscampaign speeches,
to cut special privileges out OF tartfs
schedules. prevent unfair competition IN
business and to destroy private monopo-
lies.
The president-elect had been asked
whether the big correspondence ne re-
ceived after his election contained any
inquiries as to his attitude on the tariff
or monopoly problems.
Most Of the letters" replied the presi-
dent-elect. were OF congratulatory
nature. There are some cabinet sugges-
lions. but nobody seems to think II
necessary to ask questions about the
tariff or the monopolies."
