Probably a meeting was held, but it made mighty little noise, and was as shy and retiring as violet.

MINERS UNABLE TO
.REACH AGREEMEN
WITH OPERATORS
Practically No Progress Be-
ing Made In Negotiations
In Anthracite Fields.

PHILADELPHIA. April 12-Prac-
dcally no progress toward a settlement
has been made by the subcommittee of
operators and miners considering the
demands of the United Mine Workers
in the anthracite fields. At the pres
ent rate the conferences will continue
for another week. The hard coal mines
have been shut down since April /.
Nearly two hundred thousand unem-
Lployed union men await the subcom-
mittee's decision. .
The fact that no progress has been
made toward resumption of work was
| learned today on the highest authority.
The full conference committee of twenty
and the subcommittee of eight, which,
together since early. March, have been
wrestling with the miners demands,
have not even settled one demand. And
there are nine demands, as follows;
A one-year agreement, an eight-hour
work day, recognition of the union, a
more convenient and quicker method of
adjusting grievances, 70 per cent wage
increase, minimum of $3.50 per day for
miners and $225 minimum for laborers,
not more than two laborers to one con-
tract miner, fairer weighing system
and that the coal be mined and paid for
by the ton of 2,240 pounds.
Notwithstanding this seemingly hope
less situation, the subcommittee today
agreeing ultimately on some sort of a
compromise to recommend to the larger
conference. This faith is partly forced
on the operators side. They do not
want strike declared, and when the
miners refuse to put the case up to an
arbitration board the operators find
themselves forced to choose between
comforting with the unionists they de-
cline to recognize formally and a strike
