CLEVELAND, July 27.-Dehnite an
nouneement Of the makeup Of a new
interstate conference for bargaining
purposes in the coal industry is ex-
pected in a short time, perhaps in 8
few hours.

day Of John l.. Lewis, president Of the

state Joint conference would be ar
ranged IN q few days was taken hy
Cleveland operators 20 be evidence
that he had about decided 20 accept
the lineup Of operations which has been
offered him.
a conference looking % a settlement
Of the coal strike actually was held IN
Cleveland to-day. John Moore, legis-
lative rcpresentative for the United
Mine Workers Of America, met with
several Ohio operators here this morn
Ing and departed az once 20 see Presi-
dent Lewis.
Moore. r. re- said. was here 20 find
out Just what operators could be de-
peuded upon 20 60 into conference with
The miners 90 fix q basic wage scale for
this territory and how much tonnage
they could promise.
Following the discussion to-day ono
operator said 10 was now possible 20
predict that q conference would be
held In Cleveland and that wage
scale would be drawn up In this con-
ference.
The possible makeup Of such a con

the Indiana operators may block 10 al
together. After Governor McCray an
nounced the Indiana operators would

Penna. secretary Of the operators as
sociation. announced they would not.
on the basis Of the outlook to-day
an interstate conference IN Cleveland
would comprise the following fields:
Eastern Ohio and Cambridge
Part OF Northern West Virginia,
Substantial but minority tonnage In
Western Pennsylvania. represented by
lake shippers who resigned from the
Pittsburgh Coal Producers Association.
Certain new outlying tonnage In
northern Pennsylvania.
Part Of Indiana.
The tactics Of the United Mine
Workers would then be 20 sign up as
many outlying districts as possible on
the new interstate scale, including all
Of union West Virginia. Indiana, I'LL

that az the last minute a considerable

COMPLETION WILL MAKE TOTAL
OF 27O MILES CONCRETE ROAD
Road From Odessa to st. Georges Will
Not Be Built This Year-Bridge
at State Road Crossing


Plans are now afoot in the State
Highway Department to build 20
miles of roads. The completion of
these new roads will bring the total
up to 27O miles, which includes the
whole system of highways. Though
this total does not nearly compose the
full quota of Delaware roads yet it is
the beginning of better roads and it is
hoped that the State will eventually
seek to improve every one of the 1888
miles of roads now existing in the
commonwealth. That will literally
make every country lane main high
way. According to reports from Dow
er, C. D. Buck, the new highway chief
is busy assigning work for the various
parts of the State. The reported
agreement, by which the dangerous
crossing at State Road will be elimi-
mated has caused a great deal of in
terest among the Delaware autoists.
There is to be bridge built that will
/ permit the Pennsylvania trains to pass
over the road. 1t is stated that the
State Highway Department will pay
half the cost of the new bridge and the
remainder will be paid by the railroad
| company. While the road from Fy'

concerted it has been announced thai
