by a local newspaper reporter to-

eager interest. "You know they said
he was going to die so many times
and just as often said that he was
growing better and might live for
months that l don't know what to
believe"

no 1oubt as to the truth of the news

PREDICTS EARLY SETTLEMENT

New York, April Anthracite coal
operators believe that the suspension
of work in the hard coal region which
went into effect today will not con-
tinue long, and that the coming meet
ing of the operators committee and
representative of the miners on April
10, in Philadelphia, will result in a
basis of settlement. This belief is
strengthened, the operators say, by
the fact that there have been no
traces of bitterness shown on either
side and that this makes a ,satisfac-
tory adjustment of differences much
easier.

IF THE TROUBLE is NOT SET
TIED AND GENERAL STRIKE
is DECLARED. h..
Both Operators and Miners Expect
to AmicabIy Settle the Trouble and
Announce that Work Will Ge Re-
suned by April IS.

Wilkes Barre, Pa, April 1.-Scores
of thousands of coal miners quit work
today in the anthracite fields Of Penn
sylvania and in the central competi-
tive field" of the bituminous portion
of the industry. Officially the move
ment is a suspension" of work, and
whether it is to develop into a wide
spread strike depends on the outcome
of the voting in the union ranks and
of conferences between the men and
employers within the next ten days.
Anthracite men are more apprehen-
sive than their bituminous brethren
as TO the ultimate outcome. This
condition is predicted on the fact that
there is no definite agreement imme-
diately in sight for the hard coal men
whereas the bituminous conference at
Cleveland adjourned after the mems
representative had abandoned prac-
tically all their demands except for
increased wages, and on this point
modified their terms considerably.
The bituminous men are to take a
whether the modified terms for new
wage agreement are to- be accepted,
and there is a general. feeling that
the result of the ballot will be re-
turn to work.
Upen the outcome of the voting in
the central competitive field,'' COM
prisiag Pennsylvania, Ohio and Illi-
nois, will depend also the basis for
new wage scales in other sections of
the country, where the present agree
ments do not expire until May L or
later. Southern and southwestern
mines and the comparatively few in
the Rocky Mountain states are not
affected by this status of aTairs.
West Virginia and Kentucky bitum-
inous fields will not be greatly affect
ed unless the present suspension
becomes a strike. Non-union labor
predominates in these mines, and the
men, in previous similar situations in
the industry, have shown a DISPOSE
ton to continue at work.
Approximately 100000 men are !di-
rectly affected today and some 100000
more. scattered throughout the coal
districts of the country are watching
the outcome of the suspension" for
its possible effect on their own wages,
and working conditions. 1t probably
will be at least thirty days before
all mines will have resumed, if the
referenendum votes ana conferences
result favorably, and the last ten$days
of that period may present a problem
as to fuel supply to industries OF all
character.
1t is all over but signing the new
wage contracts. AS a matter Of course.
the increase in wages won by the soft
coal miners will be followed by the
granting of an increase to the anthra-
cite miners, without struggle. This
was the statement of John P White,
president of the United Mine Workers
of America, when he returned to his
office today, after the conference with
the mine owners at Cleveland.

Philadelphia, April There was a
complete shut down today throughout
the anthracite coal regions. About
175,000 men are idle. The miners OBJ
served the day as "eight-hour day"
Several years ago bituminous miners
of the west won an eight-hour day,
and ever since it has been the custom
to observe that victory on the 1st day
of April when the. new agreement
went into effect. The anthracite min
ers have been contending for sim
ilar workday for ten years, but the
best they have secured thus far is a
reduction from ten to nine hours a

when some Of them walked out upon
the high, swift water in the streets,
they feared there had been a serious
overflow from the river. Some Of the
more nervous thought there had been
a break in the levees.
A force Of 200 men was put to work
today at the Leyland Steamship Lines
wharf at the foot Of Celeste street to
stop an overflow which was caused by
the rapid rise in the river last night
The wharf extends along the river
front about 1000 feet. A portion of
the flooring the entire length of the
shed is being taken up and sand bags
laid underneath. Further than partially
flooding several streets in that neigh
borhood, no other damage resulted

LEVEES WITHSTAND STRAIN.
The levees in New Orleans with
stood the severest strain they have
ever been subjected to, and notwith

the river, early reports received today
