REPEAT COAL CONFERENCE
OPERATORS AND MINERS DE-
BATE WAGE QUESTION.
Quick Agreement Between Employers
In Four States and Men
Unlikely.

Indianapolis, Ind.-Bituminous coal
operators of Indiana, Illinois, Ohio and
Western Pennsylvania met In con-
ference here with John P. White, pres
ident Of the United Mine Workers
of America, and other union repre-
sentatives in an attempt to reach
agreement on the demands Of the
miners for substantial wage in
creases. Union officials refused to
reveal exactly the extent of their de-
mands.
Failure of the operators to meet
the scale demanded would be fol-
lowed by direct appeal Of the min
ers to President Wilson, 1t was hint
ed.
Operators went into the conference
prepared to insist that any increase
in pay to be granted should be add
ed to the bituminous coal prices fixed
by President Wilson.
Both operators and employees were
doubtful whether an agreement could
be reached. The immediate outcome
of the session may be the appoint
ment of small committees by both
sides to fight out the Issue and re-
port to the full committees.

sition to answer his critics who as
sailed him bitterly for alleged leni-

ais should be fairly adequate for the

curtaiIment Of exports, according to
the correspondent of the Times from
Christiana, who gives the figures on
the quantity of grain available in that
country He adds:
"The decision of the United States
to deduct for the benefit Of Belgium,
&c. 900 tons of wheat and rye from
the $4,000 tons bought by Norway in
the United States, leaving 1900 tons,
barely attracted attention in Norway.
If the sacrifice is to be made / believe
the overwhelming majority Of Norwe-
gians would like to make II for no one
more than unhappy Belgium.
"The news Of the decision Of the
American government was received
with calmness. We all understand the
neutral countries will more and more
have to bear their part OF the burden
of the war. The time for absolute
neutrality is a thing Of the past, as
one of the leading journals has aptly
put the matter"
AS the interests of the Scandinavian
countries are not so identical as often
supposed abroad, many persons here
are of the opinion that hte joint pol
icy adopted by the northern countries
on many important questions connect
ed with the war is not indisputably
right as is generally supposed. 1t is
hardly doubted that this conviction
will be strengthened and that the best
policy will ultimately be for each Of
the northern countries to look after
its own interests individually.
