Not Negotiate Demand

BY Associated Press.

Washington, October IT,
Failing after an all-day confer
ence to avert strike of nearly
half a million bituminous coal
miners, called for the very eve
of winter, Secretary of Labor
Wilson tonight invited miners
and operators to send their full
scale committee to Washington
next Tuesday, when another eff
fort to bring about peace in the
industry will be made.
Both sides agreed this did not offer
any great hope, however. for repre-
sentatives of the operators stood firm
in their determination not to negotiate
any demand for six-hour day, and
not to deal with the unions unless the
strike set for Novend pr !. was
called off.

United Mine Workers of America. whose
word probably would swing the unions
one way or the other. showed that he
was laboring under a terrible strain
when he left the three-cornered meet

Speaking to group of reporters, he
said he had told Secretary Wilson that

an equal number from the other side.

with written statement outlining the
conditions under which the operators

LIGHTNING FIRES
mine POWER HOUSE
Heavy Damage Done This
Morning BY Blaze at
Monongah.

Lightning followed high tension
wire and struck the power plant of
the Consolidation Coal company at
Monongah, which is connected with
the mining operations at that place,
this morning at $3.50 o'clock and for
time it looked as If the plant would
be destroyed. but fortunately the
blaze was extinguished after several
hours work.
This was not accomplished, how
ever, until one-third of the roof of the
power plant had been burned off. The
fire caused much excitement in Mo
nongah, and the fire fighters after a
determined effort managed to gain
headway on the flames, which for a
time 'apeared to have the building
enveloped.
AS result Of the fire the loss will
extend high up into the thousands of
dollars. Officials of the company
would not venture an estimate as to
the damage other than to say it would
be heavy. The los is covered by in
surance, it is understood.
In its path the lightning blew up
the lightning arrester and damaged
two generators and three big belts.
The plant is a good sized one.
Repairs will be made as soon as
possible, and it was stated that the
plant would be in operation by Mon
day.
This mornings storm which was
responsible for this fire was general
in the valley, and for time was quite
sharp.
