Conference Concerned Over
Reported Trouble in Mines
By dSSocinicH PrcSS

New York, April 5.-Both the mine
workers and operators of the joint sub
committee of the anthracite conferences
which resumed sessions here to-day,
are concerned over the reports from
the hard coal regions that many miners
had stopped work pending the outcome
of the conference.
Representatives of the United Mine
Workers declare their members are
showing no disloyalty and will remain
at work until a wage scale agreement
is reached or the joint conference is
sues an official statement that 1t is
unable to come to terms.
Officers of the organization said to-
day that most of the trouble report
ed from the anthracite fields, which is
confined to one or two collieries at
Pottsville and PittSton, Pa, is due to
efforts of Industrial Workers of the
World to disrupt the United Mine
Workers.
Members of the scale board express
cd concern to-day over the delay of the
subcommittee in reaching an agree
ment.
The conference devoted to-day to a
discussion on machine mining, which
has already taken up more of the time
of the committee than was expected.
This is the first time that subject has
been discussed in anthracite confer
enceS.

Holland Firmly Resolved to
Maintain Her Neutrality
BY associated Press

The Hague. April 4, via London
At the opening of the second chamber
of the Dutch parliament to-day, after
a preliminary secret session in COM
mittee, the president of the chamber
read a brief statement declaring that
the recent suspension of furloughs of
army officers and men was a precau-
tionary measure, as Holland is firmly
resolved to maintain her neutrality
and there is possibility of it mourning
increased danger owing to the course
of the war.
The suspension order. he added, was
not a consequence of present political
entanglements, but was decided upon
on account of certain information
which reached the government and
which the government does not judge
opportune at the present moment to
make public.

Delightful Function

Millersburg, Pa, April 5,-Good
roads in the upper end got big boost
at the hands CT the Millersburg Motor
Club during the annual banquet of
that organization at the Hotel Charles
last evening. The Millersburg club
has a membership of more than $50,
which is a highwater mark for towns
rated diningroom of the hotel was
well filed with a majority of the
members and many out-of-town
guests.
State Highway Commissioner Gun
ningham was to have been the guest
of the evening but an attack of acute
indigestion a few hours previous to
the dinner put him to bed and he was
represented by w. r. d. Hall, stats-
tician of the State Highway Depart
ment, who made an address Others
who took part in the speaking were
General Superintendent II. p. Lincoln,
of the Northern Central Railroad
Company; Senator Il. IL. Bedleman,
George III. Bilcs, second deputy State
Highway Commissioner: Howard W.
Fry, chief clerk in the State Highway
Department; Frank B. Bosch, presi-
dent of the Motor Club of Harrisburg,
and Gus NJ Steinmetz. J. Hay Bow
man, publisher and enthusiastic mo-
torist. was toastmaster and S. S. Pick
said grace.
Mr.. Halls Address
Mr.. Hall dwelt at some length upon
the difficulties confronting the State
Highway Department in it's effort to
make a $3,000,000 annual appropria-
tion suffice to keep more than 10000
miles of roads in order. He went into
the history of the State Highway De-
partment and showed how a vast
mileage had been dumped upon the
State which should have remained in
county or township hands and pointed
out how the Legislature had robbed
the motorists of the State by making
the automobile license fees part of the
$3,00O,00O annual appropriation in
stead of an additional sum set apart
for maintenance. Mr.. Hall said that
he believed the motor fee fund will
reach S2,000,000 for the present year.
Toastmaster Bowman introduced
General superintendent Lincoln as the
man who had brought the good
roads idea TO Millersburg" and Mr..
Lincoln told how he had introduced
the first "split-log drag" there and
said he might be counted upon any
time to cooperate with Millersburg in
the matter of better highways.
Deputy Biles recalled the splendid
work of the Millersburg club last
good roads day, when it had more
than 800 representatives working on
the roads, and promised the co-opera-
ton of the department in the matter
of getting a good road from Millers-
burg to Harrisburg, a subject that is
now being discussed by the railroad
company and the Highway Depart
ment with excellent prospects of early
success.
Senator Beidleman Speaks
Senator Beidleman also talked of
the necessity of this Improvement and
said that the road should be started
first at Millersburg and run south as
