all yardagc. The original demands for
an increase of 5.39 cents a ton IN

The answer OF the subcommittee OF
the operators to this new proposal was
AN offer amounting TO AN increase OF

nois. This Offer was promptly re-
jected. Soon after the conference ad.
journed. The subcommittee will hold
another meeting to-day to discuss the
subject.
Representatives Of the miners de-
clared after the conference that their

To this the operators replied that moth
ing remained to be done then except to
throw the entire matter into the hands
Of the Joint executive committee. and
perhaps into a general conference oil
