“NO NEW | Prospects Not-as Bright a{s-:'l‘hey were tOi"zi‘ Radical Action by Either Side it Avoided—Tri-District Convention of Miners to be Held to Consider Plans for Further Action—Another Joint Statement Given Out. Philadelphia, March 12—The con- ference between the -sub-committees of the anthracite mine anthracite operators, to agreement to go into effect piration of the present woi Tangement, came to an end late today without result. While are not as bright as they were for a peaceful settlement, it is still hoped lon by either side will the prospects that radical a Tri-District Convention to ¢B Called. The miners’ executive boards will is- sue a call tomorrow for a tonvention of the miners of the three anthracite districts to be held in one of the min- ing towns for consideration of plans #or further action, and then will com another joint conferemce with the op- Tepresentatives before March proposition of 31" The counter term of three years will be placed be- the convention by the executive ‘hoards of the miners.

They renewed their offer to con- fine the present agreement for a term of three years, and this was their final ?royoultien. Mr. Lewis requested that t be put in writing and that the op- erators answered that it could be con- sidered a3 an exact duplicate cf the one made in 1906. They called attention to the number of the page of the min- utes of the meetings in ' 1906 upon which the proposition appeared, “It was understood that another con terence would be held after Mr. Lewis and his committee presented the oper- ators' proposition to a convention of mine workers.” Agreement Must Provide for Recogni- tion.” The ‘miners toaight had nothing to say as to the probable action of the tri-district convention. The executive boards will meet in Central Labor un- ion. hall here tomorrow to fix the time and place of the convention and to issue the call. After this they will leave for their respective homes and begin the work of stirring up the un- lons o elect delegates to the conven- tion. | The miners leader said positively before today's conferéence that the miners’ representatives would not sign an agreement until it explicitly p yides for recogaition of the United | Mine Workers of America. He said also that an agreement of this kind must be signed by the miners as offi- cers of the union and not as repre- sentatives of the anthracite mine workers. If the miners support him in his attitude it looks as if there will be no agreement reached, because the op- erators since 1908 have-been unaltera- bly opposed to recignizing the miners organization. May Continus to Work Without Agreement. There is a possibility of the men continuing to work without an agree- ment and striking at the various col- lieries as grievances come up if they are not adjusted by the superinten- dents o fthese niines. This, it is point . ed out, would be a return to the chaotic conditions which prevailed prior to the strike of 1902.

Providence, March 12.—The charge which has previously been made by men engaged in the liquor traf¢ that John D, Rockefeller is financing the anti-saloon movement was repeated to dey by William F.

The circular invites the dealers to attend a meeting in this city on Sunday next for the purpose of dis- cussing ways and means of meeting the public oppositionsto the salcons.
