that ho did not remember what h ? sal
Odorofahv said ho only took about half

COUJMTlUS , 0 , Sept. 2. The coal opera ,
tors who were to meet the coal miners , cx <
ccutlvo commlttw today met them nt fl'3 (
a. m. with closed doors. All were prcscnl
for the respective sides. The miners' offl'
clalfi declined to foreshadow any proposed
movement In case of a refusal to accept
the operators' proposition to open Iho mlncc
at C4 cents per ton pending arbitration ,
They were willing to talk of general condl-
tlons and nothing else , except that thoj
want the agreement today , If any , to hol-J
good for a ) ear. On the other hand tm
operatoro feel very hopeful , In fact , ver )
confident , that the miners' officials will accept -
cept and refer the 64-cent rate lo Ihclr con-
slltucnts. The operators are willing to make
reasonable concessions which may cover i
period of twelve months.
The miners' oinclals nt 11:20 a. m. hav
ing held a secret conference , adjourned It
hold a joint secret conterence with a specla
committee ot operators representing sub
stantlally all of the operators of 1'lttsburg
The committee of operators consisted of J
B. Zerb , M. Osborno and T. P. Young o
Cleveland , nnd Messrs Dysart , Schlcnfler
berg , Andrew O'Neill and Bonncy of Pitts
burg. J. U Zerb was made chairman am
\V. C. 1'earce of Ihe miners , secretary of thi
joint meeting.
KAIL TO REACH CONCLUSION.
The national executive board of the Unllci
Mine Workers has adjourned until tomorrov
morning without reaching n conclusion 01
the proposition ot the I'lttshurg operator ;
and It la Impossible to predict what wll
be done. The board had n stormy scssloi
this afternoon and there appears to be i
very decided difference of opinion amom
the members ns lo Ihe bcsl course lo pur
suo. The proposition ot the 1'lttsburg oper
ators applied specifically to that distilct
but In effect all other districts are con
corned. The proposition U that the Pills
burg miners shall rclurn to work at a 64
cent rale pending arbllratlon , the condition
of the arbitration to be that the rale to
mining shall be not fixed at more than C
cents a ton nor less than CO cents. Unde
such conditions the miners maintain tha
they would probably not secure through ar
hltrallon more than 63 cents. Here Is wher
the temper of Ihe Plllsburg miners has beci
asserted They want 09 cents and there I
some doubt whether they could be Indued
to accept less wlthoul a vigorous protcs
and a long drawn out controversy.
The Ohio miners want all they can gel
naturally , but what they Insist upon moa
Is the maintenance of the differential c
9 cents In their favor , which they have he !
so long. Whether any settlement could b
secured through an acceptance of thu propc
sltlon of the Plttijburg operators Is a matte
of opinion upon which the members of th
mlnera * national executive board dlffet
They all agree that they cannot act to
the miners and that the most thai Ihe
can do is to submit recommendations fo
acceptance or rejection by the craft. Th
members of the board also dlfter In thel
opinion as to how such recommendatlo
should be submitted , whether to a conventlo
of the I'itlsburg miners nlone or lo a gen
eral convenllon. The repealed assurance c
the miners' officials thai no settlement o
the strike without submission places ther
In a very embarrassing position , and If
mailer of the official policy alone were con
cerned the present meeting of the boar
would be cut very short. Some of the mem
hers of the board , however , think that the
should accomplish something befoie takln
final adjournment and this Is the only throa
upon which action looking toward a setllt
ment of the strike may bo expected.
N'ono of the members of the board wll
discuss the situation and the proceeding
of their meeting have been guarded wit
the utmost secrecy.
SETTLEMENT UNCERTAIN.
Separate sessions were held tonight by th
national executive hoaid of miners and th
commttteo of the Pittsburg operators. Bet
meetings were of an informal nature , hit
that of the miners' board was Importanl
The members agreed to reject the proposl
tlon of the operators. It appears that th
prlco to be paid for machine mining Is th
principal stumbling block. The operator
offer to pay off one-half the price on pic
mining for machining and the miners dc
mand two-thirds. Were this objection dls
posed of It is doubtful , however , whetbe
Iho oilier differences could be settled. Th
miners will offer no counter proposition an
the operators' committee Is not empovvere
to make a new one. Another Joint conference
ferenco will bo held tomorrow morning an
both operators and miners will endeavo
to arrive at a more perfect understand ! ] !
of just what each side demands. A membe
of the miners' board stated tonight h
thought some step might jet be taken tc
ward a settlement , but had no definite Me
along what line It might be.
WILL IIEJCCT THE OFFER.
PITTSBURG , Sept. 2. Judging from BUI
face Indications it ecemcd reasonably ccrtal
lhat President Ratchford of the United Mln
Workers and bla colleagues In office will re

work at the 64-cent rate pendlnp arbllratloi
Great Influence has been brought to hci
upon the strike leaders from this dlstrk
to Induce them to assume such an attltitd (
The sentiment among the miners here Is s
Intense for a " 69 cents or nothing" settle
ment that all the local labor leaders now i
the city have advised strongly for a continue
tlon of the fight along the present Hues ante
to the bitter end.
Secretary Warner wired thU morning t
Ratchford that the miners want C9 cents o
defeat , and to submit the Hanna proposltiot
as it la called , to a vote would only ental
needless expense ot tlmo and money. Th
result , he tali ! , would hot be In doubt fn
an Instant. The miners believe'they hav
victory well within their grasp and having
firm belief In the Justice of their cause , the
will not submit to anything that savors t
temporizing or partial retreat from the orle
liul stand. The momhera of the dlstrlc
exccutlvn board are In hearty accord wit
this view of Ihe case.

The ordinance for the grading of Twenty-

SOUTH OMAHA , Sepl. 1. To the Hdlto
of The Dee : My attenllon has been called ti
an attack that was made upon mo In tin
South Omaha depot tincnt of The lieo of thi
date of August 30 , In conjunction with ai
attack that was made upon Justice Howe
know nothing personally about the case b"
fore Justice Howe , and as he Is fully capa
bio of taking care of himself I will eay noth
Ing about his case. Hut I will say that
consider the general atlack made upon m <
as unfair and unjust. Being a poor mat
m > sclf. I would not be apt to try to oppresi
others who have had their misfortunes them
selves , and those who know me be.jt knov
tint I am not in the least inclined to be un
kind and unjust to those who have had thel
mlsfortuntft. So for as my making collec
lions Is concerned , I will say lhal ever slnci
I could remember Justices of the peace havi
made collections and the very attorney who h
quoted In The Bee has more than once haiulci
me collections to make , and In at least on <
"ine he nnde apoearanco agaln t a wel
known citizen ot this clly after I had usci
honorable means to secure a fcetlloment Iron
also requested me t <
him. This allcrnay
notify one other well known man thnl h
would be garnlsheed , and he was ottoman
garnUheed on Iho affidavit ot this same at
torney. JuBllcea are tequesled every day t >
notify people that they will be sued and gar
nlsheed unless they settle ceitaln claims , ani
I do not see wherein there I an ) thing dla
honorable or disreputable In doing It. I havi
never yet nued any man unlean I was ex
prectsly Instructed to do BO , and I have neve
yet garnlsheed but ono man myself , and In
was not a workman.
I do not see how a justice can help Issulni
papers In the due course of law , and If I havi
done anything that Is Illegal I would llko foi
It to be shown wherein It comes. If any per
son thinks I have made Illegal charges I wouh
llko him to come to mo and submit the mat
ler lo Ihe cottnly attorney or to any of thi
judges of the courts , and If there Is 1 cent o
Illegal fees I will repay It at once. I havi
not purposely charged a cent Illegally , and
will defy any man to nhow wherein I havi
been dlthonest In any transaction that liai
go'ia through my hands , whether as a JusHci
or ns an ntlorney. I Intend to make this clt ;
my home and If I cannot make a living b ;
being honest and by honorable means I di
not deserve to make a living at all. I knov
that my friends do not think I am dishonest
