Owners and Operators at
Conference Worried by
News from Fields.
REPORT ONE COLLIERY
CLOSED COMPLETELY
Dissatisfaction at Dilatory Meth
eds and |. W. W. Speeches Play
Heavily on Workers.

Threatened trouble in the anthracite
coal regions over which union leaders
may have little or no control shows
promise carrying the wage dispute out
of the hands of the joint committee
now holding daily sessions at the
Union League Club.
One colliery already has been shut
down because indignant workers re-
fused TO continue in the mines; many
others are working short handed. and
the repeated threats of strikes with
out authority of union officials yes
terday caused more worry and dis
cussion among the members OF the
joint wage committee than the ques-
tons at issue.
Dissatisfaction at the dilatory meth
DDS OF the participants in the confer
ence, fsctionsl strife in the union ano
infammstory speeches by l. W. W.
leaders are all credited with contrib
uting TO the belligerent mood Of the
miners. Both operators and mine own
ers belittled the trouble yesterday, but
plainly showed that they were worried
by sending kilograms and long dis
lance telephone messages TO every col
liery in the anthracite field.
In answer to the demands for infor-
nation il was learned that the Pardee
& Co. mines had been closed down
completely. A dispute over the size OF
cars used was given as the immediate
cause of the break there. Al other col
lieries it was announced that many
men had BY consent among themselves

mines almost crippled While spring
freshets have made working dlihcult,

The Joint committee has been IN SEES
sion since February 81, and, according
10 at least one of its members. an agree

II opened its sessions. Every day IS
costly to the miners, who, in addition
