Union Officials Send Another Letter to Anthracite Em ployers Requesting a Meeting on April I. The conference at Scranton between National President John Mitchell and the presidents of the three anthracite districts came to an end yesterday after noon, when a circular was prepared and mailed to the heads of all of tho coal mining companies doing business in the anthracite region inviting them to a conference on April 1 and informing themjj of the resolution adopted by the Hazleton convention concerning the ac tion contemplated if the conference is not held. On being asked whether there was any possibility of the operators being ap proached through a third party Pres ident Mitchell said: "No plans of In termediation hate been as yet discussed by the Mine Workers' ofliclals and the only arrangements have been made for communications directly between the operators and Mine Werkers. However. In the course of developments, we would be only too glad to avail ourselves of any means of bringing about tho end which we are trying to establish. "The miners are all unwilling to sus pend work, but still they favor an ad justment of the prevailing conditions, and realize that the only effectual meth od by which to secure this is a joiut con ference. "The men are all in favor of a uni form scale being paid for the same class of work at the different collieries. They believe that an hour's work in Scranton is of the same value as an hour's work in Shamokin or elsewhere, and this Is one of the phases of the mining question which demands the consideration of a joint conference." WALL STREET'S OPINION. The Philadelphia Times today says: "Hanking houses usually close to Mr. Morgan gave assurance to their custom ers that tboir need be no fear of any coal strike, whatever the reports from the coal district between now and April 1." THE LOCAL FEELING. The question as to whether or not a strike will take place is the foremost local topic. The minors are, as a rule, reticent when spoken to on subject, but it is a known fact that if the order ! to strike is issued the call will be obeyed unanimously by tho men of this section. The miners have perfect faith in the judgment of tho leaders chosen to con duct tho negotiations, and, while it is true that some are not fully in accord with tho result of the Hazleton conven tion, the majority believe that the time has come when a uniform wage scalo should ho insisted upon. The evil is one which exists particularly in this region, and the minors want it settled now, once and for all. As to tho rosult of the strike, if the order to suspend work should bo issued, there are many opinions, each person arriving at a conclusion according to the point of view the comlug struggle is looked at. From such inform&tion.as the Tribune lias so far received, and of which the greater part lias been traced to reliable sources, there is no fear of defeat in the inside circles of the union. Tho men who are directing the movements of tho United Mine Workers have sufficient lie Lont a Fortua©. They met at tho golf links.
