MINERS DEMANDS REFUSED
DISPUTE REFERRED TO sUR-coM
MITTEE.
Situation Regarded as Grave-Anthra'
cite Condition May BE
Eliminated.

Cleveland, Ohio. - All the de-
mands of the 200,O 900 miners in the
bituminous coal fields of western
Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana and Hi.
nois for a 10 per cent increase in
pay and shorter working hours were
voted down by the operators.
AS a final effort to prevent a pro-
longed shut down of the mines after
April / and possibly a strike, the
whole dispute was then referred to a
subcommittee. This subcommittee,
composed of eight miners delegates
and eight operators, will consider the
possibility of a compromise to be
recommended to the general confer
ence.
Both operators and miners declared
after the union demand had been re-
fused, that the coal situation through
out the country was grave.
Besides the 200, 900 miners in the
four states directly concerned, $50, 900
bituminous coal miners in other
states are dependent upon the pres
ent deliberations for a basis of max
ing their wage scale, and in addition
the policy committee will consider the
wage demands of about 10000 an
thracite miners. 1t was pointed out
by President White that the wages
of more than 500,0 900 union min ers,
after April l, were in dispute, and
that the coal output of the country,
other than that mined by non-union
men, was involved.
News from New York that the an
thracite operators and miners might
reconsider their differences, however,
had the effect of arousing confidence
among union officials that the anthra-
cite situation might be eliminated.

NO TRACE OF SCOTT.
Japanese Antarctic Expedition Saw
Nothing Of British Explorer.

Wellington, New Zealand. - The
Japanese Antarctic expedition re,
turned here. They report having
seen nothing of the British polar ex-
petition of Capt. Robert F. Scott. The
Japanese reported all on board the
Kainan Maru well. They were en-
gagged chiefly in coastal exploring on
King Edward island.
Lieutenant Shirase, the head of the
Japanese antarctic explorers, sailed
from Sydney Nov. 10 Of last year on
board the schooner Kainan Maru. 1t
was the second attempt of the Japan
csc to reach the south pole. The first
expedition got as far as "a degrees
south, but was forced to return on &C
count of stormy weather and Ice
packs, the Kainan Maru proving I'M
ut to resist the ice pressure. The
schooner was repaired and her equip
ment improved before the second start
was made.

an Advance of Ten Per Cent.
Fall River Massachusetts. - There
will be no strike in the Fall River
mills. This was definitely settled
when the members of the FIVE unions
affiliated with the textile council voted
unanimously to accept the advance of
10 per cent In wages rendered by the
manufacturers. Thousands of opera
tives, including weavers, spinners,
slasher tenders, %carders, loom fixers,
are represented in the unions which
accepted the raise. They had previ-
ously rejected an offer of 5 per cent.
M. G. ID. Borden, controlling the
seven mills of the Fall River Iron
Works Co., announced an advance of
10 per cent earlier in the week, and 35
other corporations controlling 100
mills followed the lead. In all about
$4,000 operatives will benefit by the
Increase.
