Repeatedly Bombard Police.

During the night, however. the strikers
repeatedly bombarded the police escorting
the non-strikers, throwing bottles and
stones from the upper windows of the
houses as they passed along the streets.
A large body of strikers also demolished
a number of gas lamps in the town, and
many of the merchants were forced to
barricade their stores.
Order has been restored in the town
today. The mine owners have provided
covered wagons in which the non-strikers
whose number is very few, are escorted
under police protection to and from the
pits. A considerable number of arrests
have been made. The feeling among the
men who have struck work is increasing
in intensity owing to the rigid repressive
measures of the authorities.
From several quarters come reports OF
serious disturbances, and the miners who
remain at work have to be strongly pro-
tected by police.

NEW YORK, March 13.-With the con-
ferences today in New York and London
steps may be taken which will lead
toward adjustment of the worldwide
situation which finds million coal
miners on strike in Great Britain and a
threatened strike of tens of thousands of
hard and soft coal miners in the United
States. In England all branches of in
dustry are affected by the strike, and it
is estimated that the workless army
totals two million persons. Possibility
of strike in this country has already
made itself felt in premiums of 81 a ton
paid on anthracite.
Shipments of soft coal from the bi-
luminous regions to the seaboard are de-
layed by recent bad weather and car
shortage
President John P. White of the United
Mine Workers of America and COM
mittee of hard coal miners were prepared
this afternoon to confer with a commit
tee of operators which will officially reply
to the demands for higher wages and
other concessions presented two weeks
ago by the miners. The operators have
already announced that the demands
would be refused. Both sides insist that
they will stand pat"
Miners lead Silent.
Il shall have nothing to say until the
operators have officially answered the
demands said President White. Ger
tain it is that 1 hope we come to some
agreement. This much 1 will say, that
the miners committee is quite satisfied
with the situation and If necessary we
are prepared to quit work"
Some 0npr2fDrS believe that detailed
reply to the miners demands will make 1t
possible for a submission OF modified de-
mands by the miners, which Will lead to
a compromise of the situation.
The operators this morning made final
examination of the draft Of their reply to
the miners. The reply is said to give in
detail the reasons for refusing the de-
mands in their present form. The pres
ent working agreement expires at noon
March 81.

Alleged Discourteous Language.

The papers made public disclose numer-
Gus instances of the adjutant general S
communication with his associates,
which the War Department construed as
examples of language Of an Incorporate
and discourteous character, detrimental
to the best interests of the army.
In one official communication, cited by
Mr.. Stimson, Gen. Ainsworth wrote to
Brig. Gen. w. l.. Marshall, chief of en-
gineers, that the burden Of his complaints
had no foundation ''Other than in the
heated imagination of the officer who
made them.
In the same letter the War Department
takes exception to the following Ian
guage:
when the chief of engineers learns
that the principal allegations made by
him are without foundation in fact he
must be deeply chagrined over the de-
plorable recklessness of statement that he
displayed in that Endorsement, but the
predicament that he has placed himself
in is one that usually awaits those who
hasten to attack others without first
making sure that their own weapons are

Progress in England.

LONDON, March 13.-The conference
between the British coal mine owners and
the delegates of the striking miners under
the auspices of several members of the
cabinet, and presided over by Premier
Asauith, was resumed this morning at
the foreign office, and satisfactory
progress is said to have been made.
No details of the proceedings have
been made public, but the premier at noon
expressed his qualification at the course
the negotiations were taking. The morn
hours and the particle ants then adjourned
for luncheon.
The distress which has been caused
throughout England, Scotland and Wales
as the result of the great coal strike
is becoming acute, more particularly in
Wales In that country practically the
whole life of the people depends upon
the output of the coal mines.

Hopeful of Settlement.
1t is stated on the authority of a men,
ber of the cabinet that should the nego-
tiations between the miners and the mine
owners be continued on the lines that
were opened up yesterday settlement OF
the industrial war should be reached to-
day. Even then, some days would pass
before work could be fully resumed, and
several weeks before the trade of the
country could be restored to it's normal
condition.
The miners federation today adopted
the recommendation of the executive COM
mittee which was made last night that
the federation agree to Premier Asquith' s
plan for joint conference in the various
districts for the settlement Of the mini

WICKERSHAM IS AT WORK
Preparing Measure Designed to Pro-

GOOD NEWS FOR PRESIDENT
West Virginia Will Remain Loyal
to Him, Says White House
Visitor.

1t is understood today to be the inten-

eral Wickersham to at once prepare an
amendment to existing laws that Will
protect the people Of the country against
the laws which the Supreme Court holds
give a patentee the right to dictate prices
and conditions under which his patent
may be sold.
Both the President and the Attorney
General are said to view this as one of the
most dangerous conditions connected with
the present business world. Mr.. Wicker
sham already is busy preparing what ne
thinks should be the proper sort OF
amendment to give the people protection
from the legalized monopoly that has
been conferred upon patentees under the
decision of the court.
Attorney General Wickersham already
has written to the plaintiffs in the case
decided before the court asking them
whether they would apply for rehearlng
OF the case and intimating that the gov
ernment which was not party to the
litigation, would be glad to take hanu
if il found an opportunity.
The decision of the court was that the

cine he could sell it at whatever price
he saw fit The concern brought suit
against him.
The decision is said to put the punnc

gives them a monopoly that enables them
to do as they please.
Taft Has West Virginia.

ceived by Gov Glasscock and other
