COAL OPERATORS
 SAY SCALE HAS
 NOT TERMINATED
Technical Ground Chosen in First Answer to the
 Miners.

Buffalo, Sept. 25.-The first re- sponse of soft coal operators to the demand of the United Mine Workers of America for new wage scale effective November 1, with the al ternative of general strike on that date will be based on the argument agreement ran for the duration of the war, or until April 1, 1920, if the war be not ended by that time, and that there is, therefore, no req son to put new scale into effect November 1.
 That was learned from prelimin- ary statements of coal operators gathered here for the joint wage scale conference with representatives of the miners from the four districts of Ohio, Illinois, Indiana and Western Pennsylvania, constituting the cen- tral competitive field. Their spokes- men, however, refrained from an- nouncing the attitude to be taken on the general demands for the sixty per cent increase, six hour day, five day week and other conditions for mulated at the Cleveland convention of the mine workers.
 The 32 operators who will parti- cipate in the conference spent the entire day in caucus. For this req son, the joint conference, which will determine whether the country will be faced with general strike in all the bituminous fields of the. country and possibly Canada on November 1, did not get under way today. The initial meeting was postponed until tomorrow.

BELGIUM SEEKS TO ANNEX DUTCH
 LAND, IS CLAIM
Agents Instructed to Influence Opinion in Limburg, Docu-
 ment Shows.

Washington, Sept 25.-The Meth erlands legation has received a copy of secret document issued by the Belgian foreign office to Belgian general headquarters seeking to of the Dutch province of Limburg to Belgium. The document has been printed in the Nieuwe Rotterdamsche Courant and it's authenticity has been acknowledged by the Belgian gov ernment. The Netherlands govern ment, the legation states, has offered a formal protest to the document the translated text of which published in Holland reads in part as follows:
 Ministry for foreign affairs:
 Direction F."
 "No. 4226.
 Brussels, May 20, 1919.
 "Confidential note for general headquarters.
 At this moment all Belgian agents in Netherlands Limburg must lend their assistance to the best of their ability to prepare the return of this province to the mother country; they must not neglect single opportun- ity to point out to the Limburgers that their interests are on the side of Belgium: they must encourage without indiscretion those Limberg- CTS who manifest to be our partisans, those who are secretly so, and those who may become so + + +
 They must not carry on too much direct propaganda; but must leave that to the Limburgers; they must intimate that if Limburg should again become Belgian, it will remain or will again become. Limburg, that 1t will not be joined to another pro- vince; that the'>French language will not be introduced and that Roman Catholicism will be as we'll protected as under the Netherlands rule, anti clericalism is not in its place in these regions"

IRON MOUNTAIN
 FREIGHT TRAIN
 IS ROBBED HERE
Continued from Page One)


 The report of the theft was verified by Night Ticket Agent Coleman at the Union station. Advices from H. E. Brown, third trick operator at the yard office are that two other meat cars have come through Pine Bluff on this same train, having been rob- bed between Pine Bluff and Farrell. The cars reach Pine Bluff with the door open, it was stated, and when they reach the yards, the conductor seals the door up again, makes re- port of the robbery, and the car continues on to it's destination.
 Previous robberies have not been of considerable value it was stated, since the robbers had time only to throw out certain amount of meat before the train moved on.
 The brakeman who made the re- port here last night was unable to estimate the amount of meat which he said the men threw out. The train crew consists of an engine crew, white, two brakemen, negroes, and a conductor, white. The train was in charge of Conductor Packer. The var which was broken into and pillaged was destined for Pine Bluff Conduc- tor Packer reported the robbery to McGehee upon arriving in Pine Bluff.
