Constantinople, Monday.-(By the

ly with Turkish bullets and facing
famine, 18 American workers Of the
American commission for relief in
the near east have been besieged in
Abana, Asia Minor, since June 20. =.
Twice the French troops holding
Abana have fought their way to Mer-

'osses. The siege of the city was
described to the correspondents by
Webster Anderson, of Crawfords-
vile, Ind, who has arrived in Con-
stantinople after escaping from
Abana on Aug. z. s..
French troops encircling Abana
have little artillery and consequent
ly make raids chiefly at night.
Thus far the Americans have not
been injured but their buildings have
been peppered and they have not
been able to leave the confines at
night.
The Americans are maintaining

MINERS APPEAL
TO PRESIDENT;
STRIKE FEARED
Operators Declare Action Will
Mean a Strike in Illinois
Coal Fields ~.
NO AGREEMENT REACHED

Cleveland, Aug. 19.-The joint
scale committee of operators and
miners of the central competitive BIZ
luminous coal fields comprising
Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and western
Pennsylvania, adjourned sine die
shortly before midnight without
reaching any agreement, after hav-
ing been in session five days.
Following adjournment of last
nights conference it was announced
that the miners would hold a sep
arate caucus here this morning when
a telegram will be prepared and sent
to President Wilson informing him
of the failure of the conference to
reach any agreement on line with
his request.
Proposal Held Inadequate
The telegram will state that the
failure to reach an agreement was
because the operators failed to sub
nit any proposition adequate to meet
the requirements 0 f. justice to the
miners.
At last nights meeting motion
was offered by p. H. Penn, an In
diana operator, that the conference
notify President Wilson Of it's inabil-
ity to reach a decision and request
ing him to create a commission such
AS was recommended by the bitum~
inous coal commission to determine
controversies between miners and op-
orators, and that the mines be kept
at work pending decision by this
commission.
The operators unanimously voted
in favor of this motion and the min
ers voted against it.
Searles Says No Strike
Ellis Searles, editor of the United
Mine Workers. Journal said that the
failure of the conference to reach
an agreement did not mean that there
would be a strike of coal miners.
"There is nothing in the present
situation" Mr. Searles said "to cause
the public to fear strike OF coal
miners. The mine workers still feel
confident that before the final chap
ter is written full justice will be
done to them.
The operators, however, took diff
ferent view of the situation, one
prominent Illinois operator predicting
that the failure of the conference to
reach an agreement would precipi-
tate strikes in Illinois. He said that
reports received were to the effect
that several mines in Illinois and
Indiana had closed down today be-
cause of the conferences failing TO
settle the differences.

CONTRACT PLAN

change Service as Result Of
Minimum Wage Law
CITE SUBSCRIBER COST

One North Dakota Telephone COM
pany operating several exchanges,
has under consideration plan to
contract the exchange service to
drug stores and other business pla-
tes in small towns to avoid the in
creased cost OF operation which the
new minimum wage rules for women
would entail, it was learned today.
In many of these small exchanges
the girls are not constantly busy. BY
placing the business in drug store
or some other store clerks could care
for the calls. and the expense re-
duced, according to the plan of this
>orn"nry Whether or not service
would be vitally impaired is the big
p.'uDlem to be solved by the meth
cd, according to the company's view.
Tables Given.
Tables showing the increased cost

wages under the new minimum wage
rules have been completed by one
company. The increase per sub-
scriber would range from 40 cents to
S1.50 month in the score of ex-
changes on which the figures have
teen compiled.
The minimum wage scale, which is
temporarily enjoined by district
court, as provided by the minimum
wage rules of the workmen's compen-
s,tior bureau is S2.75 per day, $16.on

The table of one company shows
that in the town of Ashley, two oper-
ators now are paid $685. and $42.50
Ger month and under the minimum
wage would be paid $71.5O each. The
increase in cost per subscriber is 4O
cents.
One Woman Loses.
The minimum wage in CogsWell.
according to this study, would not
increase the wage of the present op-
orator. The service now is contract
ed to a woman for $500, whose

the rule it would be necessary to
tu.ploy two full-time operators. me
present contractor would get $71.oO
ner month, and another operator
would be hired.
The increase per station in Hazel
ton would be 81 cents. One operate:
is now paid $50 per month and a
part-time operator is paid S2o per

be 81 cents per month per sub

The Washburn Telehone company,
operating exchanges at Washburll'

plea for increased rates to the state
railroad commission yesterday. The
company was represented by Z. u:
