Anthracite Chief to Again Talk Terms With Men—Bitumi- nous Vote on Wage Raise. PHILADELPHIA, March 30.—As the result of telegrams exchanged to-day Detween George F. Baer, representing the anthracite coal mine operators, and John P. White and other officials of the mine workers’ union, a confer- ence will be held in Philadelphia on! ‘Apri! 10 to discuss the demands of the anthracite men for higher wages and better working conditions. While this means a renewal of the negotia- tions which were broken off several days ago, and gives hope that the Great mine strike will be averted, it also makes clear the facts that a com- ete euspension of the coal mining ry of the United States for at least two weeks, beginning next Mon- ay, is certain, and that about 670,000 men will be thrown out of work. The total of over half a million men finetudes both hard and soft coal work- ers, The bituminous mlz. owners have granted a five per cent. increase tn wages, whlch has been accepted by a committee of the miners, but the question wiil have to be submitted to the rank and file of the miners on a referendum vote, and this balloting will eccuny two weeks. All the mines, therefore, will be shut down for at least two weeks, the ‘anthracite collieries probably for a month. The conference between President Baer and the mine union officials will probably last for some days, and then any agreement accepted by the hard coal men will have to be settled by a vote of all the miners, This will mean a stoppage of work fora month, ALL WORK IN THE MINES WILL STOP TO-DAY. ‘The following is the text of a tele Gram received by Mr. Bacr: “Cleveland, O., March 29, “George F.

Miss Pugh said confidently she had been practising law since she graduated from the New York Uni- versity Law School in 1908, that she had conducted several civil sults in the Supreme Court and also one minor criminal case, She didn't see any rea- counsel for Poindexter, “The man needs some one who will have sympathy for him,” sald Miss Pugh, “and since he seems to have auch confidence in me, I should be the one to conduct his defen ‘Whereupon Judge Swann assigned Miss Pugh as leading counsel for the negro, and he also assigned State Sen- ator James D.
