New York.-The question OF

The conference Of the anthracite
operators and representatives of the
United Mine Workers OF America, at
which the reasons for the denial OF
the miners demands were submitted
by the committee Of ten operators,
lasted Just long enough for the an
swer of the operators to be read.
John P. White, president OF the
miners, and his associates then asked
to be permitted to consider the an
swer until Friday noon, when there
will be further conference at which
the miners will say whether they Will
submit new proposal or strike. 3
81 Following the conference the opera
tors said they had nothing to add to
their answer and insisted that 1t
leaves the miners no alternative but
work or strike. 5&s Y.
President White, who had stated
before he went into the conference
that the miners would have no new
proposal to offer. said when he left:
ut will depend on our own confer
ences. before the meeting what our
answer will be at that time. II We
didn't think there is still chance Of
amicable adjustment there would be
no need OF any further meeting"
While the union representatives
would not commit themselves, 1t Is
understood they may ask on Friday
for a further extension OF time to con-
slider the answer in order to await the
result of the conferences in Chicago
and Cleveland next week between the
bituminous operators and their
miners.
It is known the heads Of the anthra-

there is peace in the bituminous dis

enough to make Postum my table bev-

to feel better and during the whole
winter never lost a trip on my mail

THE constant marvel to me was
hbw q person could do the amount Of
work and endure the fatigue and hard
ship as did, on SO small an amount
of food. But found my new rations
SO perfectly satisfactory that have
continued them-using both Postum

often they comprise my entire meal.
