Anthracite Miners
And Operators Split
On Arbitration Clause
International News seryice.


PHILADELPHIA. Pa, Aug. "a
Failure to agree on a wage scale or
a method OF determining one has
sent anthracite miners and operators
back TO their homes with the hard
coal situation as completely dead
locked as at any time since the. two
sides started their negotiations back
In March.
Both sides wanted peace. but failed
to arrange a giveand-take program
that would bring II about. Each
made their bids. but what one Of
fered the other refused. Twice since
the parleys ohened last Thursday
the operators laid down in>writlng
their terms. The first was rejected
almost Immediately, and the second
after long discussion. Then the
miners came through with their
proposition, as exclusively announced
by the International News Service
yesterday, and with an offer from
each side before the conference went
into a deadlock and announced last
night that no agreement could he
reached.
Binding arbitration on the wage
question was what the operators first
asked, and they took this position
after the Harding message TO Con
gress convinced them that there
would be no Federal intervention in
the anthracite situation in the event
OF no peace.

CHAPTER vi
Beatrice Up STAGE.

If you vision Clay as man of bat
ties and violent death, you don't sec
him as he saw himself. He was a
peaceful citizen from the law-abiding
West. 1t was not until he had been
flung into the whirlpool of New York
that violent and melodramattc mishaps
befell this innocent.
This was the version of himself that
he conceived to be true and the one he
tried to interpret to Bee Whitford
when he emerged from the hospital af-
ter two days of seclusion ana pre-
sented himself before her
1t was characteristic of Beatrice that
when she looked at his battered face
she asked no questions and made no
ordinations. After the first startled
glance one might have thought from
her expression that he habitually wore
one black eye, one swollen lip, one
caulif1ower ear, and strip of gauze
across his cheek.
The dark-lashed eyes lifted from him
to take on a business-like directness.
She rang for the man.
"Have the runabout brought round
at once, Stevens. I'll drive myself"
she gave orders.
With the light ease that looked silk
en- strong she swept the car into the
PARK. Neither she nor Clay talked.
Both of them knew that an explana-
tion of his appearance was due her
and in the meantime neither cared to
fence with small talk. She drew up
to look at some pond lilies, and they
talked about them for moment, after
which her direct eyes questioned him
frankly.
He painted with a light brush the
picture of his adventure into Bohemia
The details he filed in whimsically,
in the picturesque phraseology of the
West. Up stage on his canvas was the
figure of the poet in velveteens. That
Son of the Stars he did full justice.
Jerry Durand and Kitty Mason were
accessories sketched casually.
II gather that Mr.. Lindsay Of Ari-
zona was among those present" Be
atrice said, smiling.
81 was givin' the Dance" he agreed,
ana MS gay eyes met nerS.
Since she was woman, one phase
of his story needed expansion for Miss
Whitford. She made her comment
carelessly while she adjusted the mile
age on the speedometer.
"Queer you happened to meet some
one you knew down there. You said
you knew the girl, didn't your"
'We were on the same train out Of
Denver. 1 got acquainted with her."
Miss Whitford asked no more Ques-
tions. But Clay could not quite let
the matter stand So He wanted her
to justify him in her mind for what
he had DONE Before he knew 1t he
had told her the story Of Kitty Mason
and Durand.
'T couldn't let him hypnotic that
little girl from the country, could II"
he asked.

did before, but he lacked the courage
to ask for an English translation. He
shuffled away from the window and
wandered helplessly, swept up by the
tide of hurrying people that flowed
continuously into the building and
ebbed out of it. From this he was
tossed into a backwater that brought
him to another window.
II wantta see the postmaster Of this
burg" he announced again with a
piaintive whine.
"What aboutT asked the man back
Of the grating.
Important business, amigo. Where's
he atT''
The man directed him to door upon
which was printed the legend, Super
intendent Of Complaints"
"Well, sir! What can do for your"
the man behind the big desk snapped.
II wantta see the postmaster"
"What about?"
81 got important business with him."
"Who are you2"
"Me, I'm Johnnie Green Of the Bin

Arizona and l wantta see the postmas-
ter"
Suppose you tell your troubles to

Johnnie changed his weight to the
other foot mo, sub, l allow to see

Hes busy" explained the official
"He can't possibly see anybody with
out knowing his business"
"That's all right. I've lost my pal.
wantta see"
The superintendent of complaints
cut into his parrot-like repetition.
"Yes, you mentioned that. But the
postmaster doesn't know where he is,
does hep
"He might tell me where his mail
goes, as the old sayin' Is"
"When did you lose your friend?'
II amt heard from him since he

kinda made up my mind to come on
here the rest Of the way and look him
up. I'm afraid some ones done him
dirt"
'Do you know where he's staying?"
"No, sub, don't"
The superintendent OF complaints
tapped with his fingers on the desk.
Then he smiled. The postmaster was
fond of joke. Why not let this odd
little freak from the West have an in
terview with him?
Twenty minutes later Johnnie was
telling his story to the postmaster Of
the city of New York He had written
three times to Clay Lindsay and had
received no answer. So he had come
to look for him.

postmaster, interested in spite of him
