crimes, if they find that crimes were
committed.

OPERATORS AND MINERS CON­
TINUE DISCUSSIONS BUT AC­
COMPLISH NOTHING.
Employers of Pennsylvania and Ohio
Declare Their Willingness to Pay
the Increased Wages Demanded and
the Outcome May Be a Partial Strike
in the Bituminous Coal Districts of
the Country.
Indianapolis, March 24.—The joint
scale committee of the joint confer
ence of coal operators and United
Mine Workers of the Central competi
tive district held a two-hour session
lurins the morning, but nothing was
iccomplished. When the meeting was
called to order the Illinois operators
at once insisted upon further discus
sion of the shot filers' law and then
took up the long standing dispute over
the differential. They made the claim
that if they were permitted to enjoy a
differential of 28 cents between pick
and machine mined lump coal as Mr.
Robbius enjoyed in the Pennsylvania
Held ihey could afford to pay the min
ers the advance of 12'i per cent orig
inally demanded by them. They said
the Illinois operators had only a 7
cent differential and the Indiana oper
ators a differential of 11 cents. The
statement was repeated that the oper
ators of Illinois, Indiana and Ohio
would not allow Mr. Robbins, with
production of 2l.ono,00o tons annually
out of a total production of lL'o.ooo.ooi)
tons, to dictate the wage scale for the
entire competitive Held.
Robbins Firm in His Position.
Mr. Robbins announced his deter
mination to maintain his position and
read a telegram from an independent
coal company of Western Pennsyl
vania with a production of 3oo,0nii
tons annually announcing its desire to
co-operate with Mr. Robbins in paying
the advance. At 12 o'clock tiie com
mittee took a recess until 2 o'clock.
During the discussion one of the op
erators secured from President Mit
chell the first expression he has made
as to whether the miners' leaders
would allow the Western Pennsylvania
district to sign tho advanced scale of
fered while those' of Illinois, Indiana
and Ohio were on a strike. An oper
ator was discussing this possible situa
tion when Mr. Mitchell remarked
sharply: "The course you gentlemen
are now pursuing might bring that
about."
Herman Justi, commissioner of the
Illinois operators, discussing the sit
uation, said:
"It Is possible Western Pennsyl
vania and Ohio will he allowed to sign
the advanced scale offered and Indi
ana and Illinois go on a strike. This
strike, however, would be of short
duration, possibly thirty days."
TWENTY-THREE MAO

An insper: ion of the Century Coal
comi '.ny's mine at Century by State
Mine Inspector J. A. Paul of Charles

that the explosion was caused by the

sion was terrific the effects were felt
for only a comparatively short dis
tance. officials of the company and
the mine inspectors believe that no
blame can be fixed.

INDICTMENTS IN BEEP TRUST
CASE STAKO AS TO COR­
PORATIONS ONLY.
Judge Humphrey of the Federal Court
at Chicago Instructs the Jury to Re­
turn a Verdict to That Effect After
Reviewing the Case at Length in
All Its Bearings—Packers' Attor­
neys Oppose Early Date for Trial.
Chicago, March 22.—All of the pack
ers who wort- indicted by the federal
grand jury last summer upon charges
of being in conspiracy in restraint of
trade and commerce were during the
day granted immunity from criminal
prosecution under the indictment.
While the individuals are to go free
the indictments found against the cor
porationsof which some of the indicted
individuals are members and others
are employes are to stand.
A decision to tho above effect was
handed down dur'ug the afternoou by
Judge J. Otis Humphrey in the United
States district court. The argumeuts
in the case were concluded shortly af
ter 3 o'clock and Judge Humphrey at
once commenced the delivery of his
opinion. It was oral and the judge
spoke for nearly an hour before giving
the slightest indication of what the
ultimate decision would be. He re
viewed the case at length la all Its
bearings, cited all the essential facts
that had been brought out and con
cluded as follows:
Decision of ^udge Humphrey.
"I'nder the law lu this case the Im
munity pie.is ttM by the defendants
will be sustained tj to the Individuals
and denied as to the corporations, the
artificial persons, and the Jury will
find in favor of the government as far
as the corporations are concerned and
against the government as far as the
individuals are concerned."
Immediately following the dismissal
of the jury. District Attorney Morrison
raised the question of the date for the
trial of the corporations. He asked
that the case be set for trial and that
it commence within two weeks. This
met with a storm of protest from at
torneys for the puckers, who insisted
they would be unable to prepare for
the case before the fall of tho year.
After some discussion Judge Hum
phrey directed that the lawyers agree
among themselves upon a date and
notify him of their decision next week.
It is expected that the total number
of witnesses in this trial when It be
gins will number at least 1,600. Those
for the packers will number 1,500 and
the government will have 100 more.
