MINERS AND OPERATORS ARE
DELAYED IN NEGOTIATIONS
Peoria, ILL.,, April 17.-Negotiations
between Illinois miners and operators
are being delayed because rival oper-
ators' associations are trying to force
higher rates upon their competitors,
according to a statement made today
by Duncan Mcdonald, secretary
treasurer of the Illinois Miners or
ganization
The joint scale committee is upon
the fourth week of its negotiations,
but an agreement is nowhere in sight.
The associations are the Illinois
Coal Operators Association; the
Fifth and Ninth District Operators
Association and the Central Illinois
Operators Association.
w. L. Schmick, president of the
Illinois Coal Operators Association,
the most powerful body, refused to
speak for any association other than
his own, but said the charge of the
miners was unfounded. The oper-
ators are a unit, he declared.
Mr.. Schmick is president also of
the joint scale committee, but refused
to be quoted on matters connected
with the negotiations.

EARLY MORNING BLAZE
IN THE VALLEY
from Wednesdays DaiIyD

CFrom Wednesdays Daily)
Fire Of an unknown origin carly
yesterday morning destroyed the
one-story frame building situated at
the road forks in ATiiier valley.
Just what caused the fire is 4
mystery. The sole occupant OF the
premises known as the old Valley
View Saloon" was Fred Sattes an
old pioneer, who was walking TO
the city at the time the blaze was
discovered. Sattes has IN past years
made it a daily practice TO arise
from his slumbers ut 4:5O O'Clock
get his breakfast and then start up
on his walk to the city. Yester-
day morning he followed his usu-
al program and upon reaching the
home of friends in this city an hour
later, learned that his home had
been RACED to the ground by flames.
Superintendent Joe Bethune OF
the County Hospital, was the first
to see the flames. When he dis
covered the bright red glare, half
Of the structure was enveloped in
flames. Calling up Safes friends
in the city, he told OF the blaze
and then rushed with several help
ing hands TO see what could be
done.
The wood burned like a cinder
box. however. and within thirty min
utes pile of ashes remained where
the structure had disappeared.
Many people in this city arous-
ed from their beds By the red glare
in the sky, were treated TO one OF
those rare spectacles, 4 fire in the
mountains. The proportions of the
blaze made it appear for time as
though a number of ranch houses
were going up in smoke. The fire
department was not called upon.
1t is believed that the fire was
caused by defective flue Recent
ly there have been heavy rains in
that vicinity and plenty OF water
reached under the structure. It is
believed that this water weakened
the foundation and that the strong
winds of the past several days
caused the building to move several
inches, thus causing a dangerous
break in the chimney.
