MINERS REFUSED 4 MORE DEMANDS Operators Steadfiistly Decline to Ratify Changes Sought by Union; Breach Widens Special to the Telegraph Philadelphia, March 23. —Refusal on th part of the soft coal operators of Central Pennsylvania yesterday to ratif;' four additional demands pre sented by 'the miners of that section has resulted in a further breach that threatens to become serious.
