Hint at Suspension to Take

BOTH SIDES FIRM
IN THEIR DEMANDS
BY The United Press.


CLEVELAND, o., March 26.--In tho
nope that an agreement could be
reached to prevent the ordering of "A
strike in the soft coal fields. sixty
four operators and miners today re-
sumed their wage scale deliberations
here in point conference. Both sides
appeared to be resigned to an almost
certain suspension of mine operations
beginning Auril /, for 80 or 90 days,
TO allow a referendum vote on the
results of his conference.
The miners and operators remain
ed firm I'm their announced positions,
neither side yielding a point i'm the
workers demand for more pay. Pres
ident White. Of the United Mine Work
ers, fears that strike in the hard
coal fields cannot now be averted,
conferences in New York having fail
ed to reach a wage agreement. He
was strongly i'm favor of effecting a
new wage scale here for the bitumin-
Gus miners to prevent a strike in all
coal mines i'm the country, but said
he would not reccde from the miners
demand for the mine run basis Of
payment and a general increase in
wages.
Charles Z. Maurer, of Cleveland; /;
J. G. Kolsen, of Terra Hauute, Ind.
and other operators declared again
that il was their final rejection of
wage demands that caused a recess
of the conference here last Friday
night The operators plea is that to
raise miners wages now would force
many mine owners into financial diff

Deputy State Mine Inspector Mitch

after the explosion occurred. Miners
who had worked during the night and
were then in their homes were
brought to the mine and organized
into rescue parties.
Because of the deadly after damp

a few hundred feet from the opening
An appeal for help to the United

Whether any of the eighty-three

chance that some may have escaped
the explosion and reached part Of
the mine not penetrated by the aftor
damp.
If this is the case. brattices may
have been thrown up by them to pre-
