COAL CONFEREES
WILL CONTINUE
SESSION TODAY
(By Dispatch A. P. wire)

NEW YORK, Jan. 1.-THE anthra-
cite coal conference adjourned late
today until 10 O'Clock tomorrow.
During the session today the oper-
ators proposed another plan to set
tie the long strike but the plan was
rejected by the miners. 1t provided
for a five year agreement.
John A. Lewis, head of the miners
committee, in a long statement said
the operators "in final Desperate
effort to break up this conference
have again offered plan of arbitra-
ting wages alone"
''They have stubbornly resisted"
the statement said "every suggestion
of mine workers that they arbftratte
their profits upor the inflated capi-
talization of the industry and that
they arbitrate the price which they
Charge. the anthracite consuming pub
lie for coal
They have refused to reveal to
this wage conference any of the rec
ords of the industry as proof of
their unsupported allegations.
THE mine workers choose to re-
fuse to accept the operators brand of
arbitration because it is obvious that
it is not to the advantage of the
mine workers to do So"
The latest plan to end the hard
coal strike now in it's first month,
provided for a five year agreement,
with the right of either side to re-
quest once a year the reconsideration
of the wage scale. In the event of
deadlock, the plan provided that

UNIFORM TYPE IS
 STRONGLY OPPOSED
Bishop Hughes Gives Views on " Religious Experience

Atlantic City x. J, March 5 tP)- 4 standard or uniform type of rrli-
 zious experience as an evidence Of piety or conversion 10 Christianity, IS insisted upon in some Methodist churches, was strongly disapproved today by Bishop Edwin II, Hughes, of Chicago. in his address at the ninetIeth annual conference of the New Jersey Methodist Episcopal church.
 Let us not confuse cur people about any type of religious expcr- fence" said Bishop Hughes. God never made two religious experi- "nces alike, any more than ho mado two faces or two minds alike, and preachers who insist upon q standard type of conversion, simply drive their people out into the sea of loubt. My religious experience was unlike that of any man in the West Virginia town where I sought con- version for ten nights before Methodist altar where men were ire auentiy heard to shout in the fervor of their conversion"
 The Bishop declared the custom of relying largely upon some thrill ing type of early conversion as an evidence Of present day piety He said:
 Whenever I hear a man locating largely his religious experience, back thirty years ago, feel that the soon F he gets it up to date, the better
 or him, Too often the conception of emotional religious experience is oNerdone, Sometimes excessive emo 'lonalism runs 10 a manufactured
 cstasy and is closely akin 10 sin.
 We also want 10 avoid the eacra. mental concert God saved the M. l.. church from going into a union with any church that places empha- SIS upon sacramenial conception of rollgious life and rLon the apostolic uNcession, which is simply super 3tition.
 'Jethodists have never laid too much stress upon experience because that has been our salvation, but some certain types of Methodists lave laid too much stress upon cor- ain types of experience. The sense of the dramatic Is strong enough. but whenever a man hankers after m experience like Paul had on the road to Damascus, be is likely to get on I dangerous highway.
 'f am glad that God did not have to strike me blind and knock me off a horse, hut used gentler means to convert me, On the other hand. | some people mistake nerves for re- finement and dnplore the genuinely explosive or vociferous type of reli- gious experience that manifcsts it. self at times In sedate congrega- lions"
