were going on throughout the coun-
try in an effort to end the strike.
Mr.. Green stated that 1t would ap-
pear from the Cleveland dispatch
that a sufficient tonnage is being as
sembled to insure a conference Of
operators and miners. He expected
that IL would be necessary for opera
tors joining in the conference to con-
troll coal production so that an
agreement they would make with
the miners would be the basis for
pay throughout the central competi-
tive field. which In turn is the bas-
ing scale for all other soft coal
fields operating union mines.
The miners are ready to meet
the operators of the central COM

there was a probability that the
bonus bill would be called up the
latter part of next week or early in
the week following unless an agree
ment was reached in party confer
ence TO defer action.

Meantime. subsequent proposals
for the amended house bonus bill

CHICAGO. June 13.-(By I. n. 81
The hurried visit OF a beautiful
girl 10 the Indiana sand dunes
where the body OF an unidentified
man was found. half cremated Tues
day was being linked with the muir
der of the man. Identification OF
whom has been pulling Indiana
and Illinois police for i've days.
The girl, frantic with excitement

Leaving the cab she returned in
As minutes, the driver asserted. She

Refusing his offer, the woman re-
turned TO Chicago.
The trip was made on May %. The
date of the murder was about the

who examined the body.
