TO CALL LATER MEETING
FOR AGREEMENT

Indianapolis, Ind, Jan. TO-
Miners and operators in the bit
luminous coal mining industry
were agreed here today that there
was small chance of the present
joint interstate wage conference
reaching an agreement. 1t was
believed the demands of the min-
ers for shorter hours and increas-
ed wages and the proposals of the
operators for longer hours and
decreased wages were too far
apart to permit of an immediate
compromise.
Leaders in both groups said
that it was likely the present joint
conference would adjourn and
that a later meeting before April
1 would be arranged for. All
wage contracts between the
United Mine Workers and the
operators expire on March 81.

union, who attended the coroner's
inquiry into the wreck on the Illi-
nois Central at Kinmundy, when
four railroad officials were killed,
said today that from the testi-
mony and from personal conver-
sations he had with Engineer
Stuart of the rear train, it was ap-
parent that trouble due to the
strike was in large measure re-
sponsible for the accident.
In the first place." he said, IF
the engines had been working
properly there would have been
no need for taking water at Kin
mundy. And that water stop was
the cause of the whole trouble.
Also, the engine on No. 3, the rear
train, was not working right.
Viewed without bias, I con-
slider the testimony and also the
admissions Stuatr made to me
very damaging to the roads mo-
tive power. He said that as he
approached Kinmundy he saw
one red marker, but that, he,
thought, was on a freight on the
northbound track. The first he
knew of the private car being so
close to him was when his head
light caught the reflection from
the cars rear door. Then, he said,
he was 400 feet away.

reverse lever and attempted to
throw it over, at the same time
sanding the track. The reverse
refused to work properly, and
Stuart was only able to get it half
way. He said he had pulled with
