TO AVERT SOFT
COAL WAlK-0UT
Bituminous Miners Threaten to
Join Anthracite Workers
in Big Strike
OPERATORS AND MEN CONFER
The Greatest Danger Lies in ST.
multaneous Action
Demands OF the Men fer New Wage
Scale Much Greater Than OPP
orators Will Grant.

Cleveland. O., March sO.--Whcincr
there is 10 be p senerai strike OF
miners In the bituminous fields ON
April depends upon the success or
failure OF the joint conference OF The
operators and United Mine Workers.
which met at the IIollenden Hotel
i'm this city today to resume nesOtiu-
tions looking Ia new agreement To go
into effect when the present agreement
expires on the last day of this month.
Both sides admit that the prospects
for an anicablc settlement OF the cN-
isting differences are not very bright.
A dieffrence of twenty cents ton i'm
the wages sought and those offered
confronted the joint conference. The
miners want $l.05 ton. while the OPP
orators offer eighty-five cents. which
is ten cents less than paid at present.
Both sides appear determined and the
closing down OF the mines at least
temporarily is regarded as inevitable
Wide Territory Involved.
The parties to tho present confer
ence represent the operators and min
ers in the soft coal fields of western
Pennsy lvania. Ohio, Indiana and Illi-
nois. But any agreement reached un-
doubtedly would be used as the basis
for similar agreements I'm Missouri,
Kansas, Arkansas and Oklahoma, com
posing the southwestern Territory and
Michigan, West Virginia, Kentucky
and Iowa.
The prospect of n strike In the soft
coal field, while serious enough In its
consequences. is not regarded with the
same alarm in Industrial circles as
is the possibility Of q similar tie-uV
of the anthracite mines. The princi-
cipal reason for this is that the soft
supply Is not limited to a small terri
tory as I'm the case OF the supply of
anthracite.
Simultaneous Strike Feared.
A dozen States, more or less. produce
soft coal i'm considerable quantities
Then, too. several of the fields, particu-
larly that of West Virginia, are not
strongly unionized. The railroads and
other industries dependent upon the
bituminous supply always figure that
enough soft coal can be produced
some how 10 supply their needs. They
remember that there were strikes IN
the soft coal regions of several States
last year at the same time, but nC
serious shoi tage of fuel resulted. The
possibility OF general strikes beinl
simultaneously in the anthracite ant
btuminous fields on April ! is con
sidered the most threatening feature
of the situation.

one body was recovered. leaving the
fate Of fifty-four i'm doubt
The mine is said to have caved in

Only Nine Men Escape.
McAlister. okla. March 2O.--Nine
men escaped from the MoCurtain mine
Immediately after the explosion, but
many men are still entombed. The
mine is burning and another explosion
is momentarily feared.
Strenuous efforts nave been mauc
to save the entombed men, but the
work Of the rescuers is greatly ham
pered by the gas and smoke. The fire
in the mine renders the situation
practically hopeless, and the danger OF
another explosion also makes the worf
OF rescue extremely hazardous.
Meanwhile there is much speculation
whether the entombed miners will be
able to reach portion Of the mine
where they can be immune from the
gas and smoke and cut themselves OIL
from the rest of the workings until
assistance can reach them.

day afternoon, the defendants in the
case being Cashier Scotneski, Marion
Snulka, bartender and president, re-
spectively Of the Polish Independent
Club, Of the Eleventh ward. They
were accused, like the others, with
selling intoxicating drinks without a
license, aud were each held in 5000

resented them and the Law and Order
Society, which prosecuted the case,
was represented by Caleb Il. Burch-

evidence was similar to that given 10

Mr. Garrett created some specula.
ton by stating that he thought there
was sufficient law to hold the police
who entered the clubs quarters and
the defendants without war
rants and took a government tax

Mr.. Garrett cited an old
