DEADLOCK UNBROKEN
Today's Conference OF Miners And
Operators Not Likely TO Produce
ANY Results.

New York, Jan. P)-Anthracite
operators and miners resumed their
conference at 1880 a. M, today in
an effort to break the deadlock in
the matter of o new wage agree
ment for the hard coal diggers.
Neither side had any new PROPOSE
ton or idea to present when the
meeting began, it was stated, and
the prospects for making any mater
ial progress today were not bright.
Both sides, however, were deter
mined to do their utmost in order
10 avoid a break in the negotiations
which are imminent. Neither side
desired to take the initiative to end
the present discussions and it is
probable another all day session
will be held.
After nearly five hours of futile
argument yesterday the joint wage
conference recessed in the hope that
some new thought would be brought
out today that would lead to an
agreement. Both sides realize the
seriousness of ending negotiations
and are determined TO seek a way
out.
So fixed are the six operators and
six miners In their respective views
in the provisions for new contract
that little nope was expressed be
fore they went into conference that
today would bring any nlateria
progress.
Arbitration remains the big ques
ton to be settled. The miners de
clare so far as they are concerned
arbitration is out of the question
The operators, however. continue Il
urge it as the only way out Of
difficult situation.
