ment thousands Of union coal miners in
Indiana. Illionis and Iowa will continue
at work.
Most of the mines in the Ohio dis
trict suspended operations last mid
night in accordance with orders issued
Monday by the operators. The opera
tors in the central Pennsylvania dis
trict announced last night that unless
the old agreement is renewed before
Friday all of the mines in that district
will be closed and work suspended in
definitely. The agreement which ex-
pired yesterday was made at q joint
conference Of miners and operators at
Cleveland in 1912.
Several weeks ago another joint con-
ference was held at Philadelphia to
make a new agreement to take effect
today.
The operators refused to grant a wage
increase and other concessions demand
ed by the miners and the conference
was adjourned to Chicago. The miners
modified their demands at the Chicago
conference but the negotiations were
concluded when an agreement could
not be reached. The policy committee
of the United Mine Workers of Amer
lea then decided that the men should
remain at work under the old agree
ment and that new agreements should
be adjusted by local district conferences
the plan to be ratified by a conference
vote of the miners in the affected dis
tricts.
Indiana, Illinois and Iowa operators
decided not to close their mines and me-
gotiations have been begun with the
state district unions for the formation
of the new agreements.
The situation in Ohio is aggravated by
a mine run law passed by the last Ohio
legislature which will go into effect
May Is. Enactment of the law was
strongly opposed by the operators. Ne
gotiatiOns for a new agreement have
been in progress between the miners
and operators in the central Pennsyl-
vania district since March 3. The
Pennsylvania miners have abandoned
all their demands except one providing
for q change in the system Of pushing
cars in and out of the mines.

IT IS A MYSTERY
Disappearance Of John Ingan-
thron 8 Years Ago.
Disappeared without Cssss or
Warning.

Where is John Inganthron? He either
died without benefit of clergy, or. like
the hero OF Benefits Great Adven-
ture." Is buried alive. On April IL, 1906,
Inganthron rose as usual, ate his
breakfast. put on his hat in the hall
of his home, 1903 Gordon street, and
prepared to leave for the Santa Fe
shops.
I'd like q little money. John" said
his wife. suggestively.
An right" responded Inganthron,
"rll bring 1t home tonight
He walked down the street. turned
the corner. and disappeared-forever
An eight years search has been un-
availing. Inganthron is lost
Out OF this mysterious incident grew
q suit filed Tuesday afternoon in the
district court. Alleging death by dis
appearance, Inganthron's wife-or wild
ow-and four children demand Ingan-
thron's insurance of $1,000. Refusing
of the Ancient Order of United work
men OF Kansas, against whom the case
is filed, intend to retain the money.
The plaintiffs are Mary Inganthron,
the wife, Mary Kaberline, Kate Scham-
Der and Barbara Schell. the daughters,
and George Inganthron. the son. A
beneficiary certificate. paid up to the
time of Inganthron's disappearance,
left 81 900 to his wife and $3.50 to each
Of his four children.
InganthrOn was q kind husband, an
affectfonate father. a lodge man in
good standing, and an industrious la
borer at the shops. As far as his fam
lily knew. he was absolutely without
enemies. He was somewhat inclined
to fondness for alcohol. but was not
an excessive drinker. He left no
debts. His family have persisted in
declaring they can establish no reas-
enable explanation Of his disappear
ance.
They have advertised extensively,
employed detectives, issued circulars,
and sought in every way to solve the
mystery of April Z. 1906. Inganthron
was traced to Kansas City. There all
clues were lost. The case was placed
in the hands of Hayden and Hayden
for investigation. Believing Ingan-
thron dead. the firm today filed suit
against the United Workmen Of the
state.
