x E suuuu CONTINUES —— Operators and Workingmen’s Confer- ence Adjburns Sine Die. AN AGREEMENT IMPOSSIBLE. No Proposition Made by One Side Proved _ Acceptable to the Other—President 1 * Batchford Throws Out Hints ‘ of a General Strike. \ 1 Pittsburg, Aug. 25.—The final effort to ‘ arrange a. plan for ending the big coal strike has proved a failure and the strike . goes on. The conference between a com- ; mittee of 053.1 operators and miners, national district officials, closed today and the conference adjourned without date. The miners’ representatives did not recede from their original proposi- tion to settle the strike by arbitration and start the mines at the 69 cent rate. The operators offered to divide the difference between 54 and 69 cents rates, making the price at which the._mines should start 61% cents per ton, but this , was rejected. Then additional preposi- ‘ tions were made. One was to start the , mines without fixing anyprice for 30 ‘ days and. then to pay the rate agreed ‘ upon by the board of arbitration. T; ‘ was also refused by the miners, and they said they had been fooled tOO often to trust the operators again. They'de- clined to work for a month giving the operators the output that length of time without knowing what wages would be paid. A proposition was then made to operate the mines for 10 days without fixing the price and allow a board of arbitration to fix the price for that time. President Ratchford insisted that nothing but the 69 cent rate could possi— bly be accepted. The operators were firm, but the miners were equally determined and every argument of the mine owners was met by the miners’ leaders. Both Sides Obdurate. Neither side would concede another point, and it was decided to end the conference. President Ratchford gave out the fol- lowing statement: “We have disagreed. Our proposition remained unchanged. Besides our proposition to arbitrate, we made them a second one along the lines of bringing about a general conference of miners and operators of all the min- ing states. They refuse to lend their efforts ‘in that direction, and the strike will be continued. We have no other plans for the future.” Immediately after the close of the conference, J. B. Zerbe called a meeting of operators to discuss the situation and outline a plan for future action. From the tone of the remarks of some of the operators they favor the plan de- cided upon at the Cleveland conference, to make a fight and start the mines with the old men if they can be induced to dig at 54 cents, or to import men to take their places. _ There are others, however, who say they will not aid in carrying out this plan and favor a. complete surrender. The outlook after the adidurnment'oi the conference seemed to be encouraging for the miners. There is no question of the anxiety of the operators to start their-mines. Nearly every coal com~ pany in the Pittsburg district was rep- resented, at the Monongahela. House during the conference. President Ratchford's Protest. Pittsburg, Aug. 25.—M. D. Ratchford, national president of the United Mine Workers of America, speaking of the big mass meeting of the heads of various and many labor organizations of the country which will be held at St. Louis next Monday said: “From every section of the country we have received encourag- ing letters. All of them express ap- proval in the adoption of our plan, and I am safe in saying it will be one of the greatest events in the history of the country. We will take steps to discon- tinue the use and abuse of un-America—n injunctions that some of our courts have seen fit to grant. If the St. Louis con- ference does what I believe it will, it will bring about a general strike of all "'1he branches of trade in the United States. “It has been said that it will mean an insurrection. I hope not. These con- ditionshave been thrust upon us by the operators and the courts. Our course has been pronounced the most prac- ticable by the most conservative of men. The time has come when labor must de- fend labor and stand up unitedly against the usurpation of law forbidding the right of free speech and public meeting.” The Whoreabouts of A. 8. Warner. New York, Aug. 25.—It was rumored at police headquarters today that the detective bureau had a clew to the whereabouts of. Albert 8. Warner, the lawyer who is believed 'to have planned the kidnaping of little John Conway of Albany.

TIRES THAT LEAK. The Morgan & Wright single-tube quick-repair tire must be regarded as a distinct improvement in bicycle tire construction. It has the following ad- vantages: .
