Miners Deadlocked on
Agreement With Owners
Operators Make Concessions,
Which Men Show No In
cIination to Accent

CLEVELAND, Aug. 16.-Members Of
the joint scale committee of the CEN
trail competitive bituminous coal
field were deadlocked tonight after
the operators had refused the miners
demands for increased wages and the
proposal of the operators. A joint sub
committee, appointed to consider the
situation, adjourned after three-hour
session without reaching any agree
ment.
The miners on Saturday presented a
demand for 81 day increase for
day and month laborers and a ten-cent
a ton increase for pick and machine
mining.
In their reply to-day the operators
offered to correct the seeming in
equality of the award of the Bitumi-
nous Coal Commission last March, un-
der which the pick mining rate was
advanced q per cent over the then
existing contract and the day and
monthly men were given an advance
of only 20 per cent by advancing the
wages of day and monthly men to the
equivalent of the pick miners advance.
The operators. however, refused to con-
slider any other demands made by the
miners, including the ten cents per ton
asked for pick and machine mining.
On receipt of the operators pro-
posal the miners promptly rejected it
and Subcommittee of the joint scale
committee was appointed to try to
reach settlement.
After adjournment tonight mem
bers of the subcommittee said there
was little to indicate any immediate
settlement of the matter.
local representative of the De-
partment Of Justice admitted that he
was watching the conference develop
ments regarding the possibility of any
strike action by the miners

Roosevelt Sends Telegram
There are sure to be preliminary
roll calls on ratification. 1t was be-
cause of extra tangles which would
come up if an attempt were made to
force things to-day. and the fear that
some of the final suffrage votes would
be against them on these preliminaries,
which caused suffrage leaders to al
low the vote to go over.
Mrs. Harriet Tyler Upton, vice chair
man of the Republican National Com
mittee, was assured by wire from
Theodore Roosevelt to-day tina. "the
final objective is as good as taken. 1t
seems inconceivahle that Tennessee
can do anything but seize with pride
the opportunity to be the thirty-slxth

Senator Norris raised the point OF or
der that Lodge was not entitled to
make such a motion because he did not
vote with the prevailing side last ses-
sion; second because under Senate
rules reconsideration is impossible, and
third that the treaty was finally dis
posed OF last session and It is now too
late to revive II.
vlce-President Marshall overruled
Norris, who at once appealed from the
decision.
The Senate sustained Marshall's rul-
Ing, 10 the effect that Norris point of
order was not well taken.
The vote sustaining Marshall's ruling
was SO TO 10.
Lodge then moved 10 recommit the
treaty to the foreign relations commit
tee with reservations adopted by the
Senate and the resolutlonof ratification
with instructions TO report the treaty
back Immediately with the Senate res
ervations and the resolution OF ratif-
cation"
Senator Hitchcock asked Lodge 10
change this TO provide that the treaty
be reported back without reservations.
Lodge replied the other way would
save time and prevent reOpenlng the
whole question Of revising the treaty.
Hitchcock rebored that the expression
about adoption OF the reservations by
the Senate was misleading inasmuch
as after the reservations had been
adopted by a majority vote they and
the resolution OF ratification failed 90
get a two-thlrds vote.
Senator Borah said today that with
President Wilson and Senator Lodge
both refusing 10 yield on reservations
Il IS a sheer waste OF time for the Sem

parently futile task.
"In view Of President Wilson's deter
