Anthracite operators and miners representing workers met in Joint coh ference here today to arrange a new agreement to replace the one that expires March SI. The ten demands presented by the officers of the United Mine Workers were referred to a joint sub committee with In structions to work out, if possible, a satisfactory wage scale and report to the full conference.

The sub committee Immediately went into session, organized and adjourned to meet here at 1 p. m. next Monday. Thus, for the first time in the his lory or me joint nard oai wage conferences, the demands of the miners were not promptly rejected when formally presented. Operators Applaud White The mine workers were cordially received by the coal operators and the best of feeling prevailed during the joint conference.

An unprece dented incident was the applauding of John P. White, international pres ident of the United Mine Workers, by some of the operators, when he concluded a fervid speech in pre senting the demands of the men The representatives of the miners expressed themselves as pleased with the attitude of the operators ant! said they found nothing in the joint conference to lead them to believ that an amicable settlement would not bo reached. A speech by Warriner, Philadelphia, president of he Lehigh Coal and Navigation Company, replying to tho miners' address, was termed conciliatory by the union officers and made a good impression on them, the miners said Markie Made Chairman The week's adjournment of nego tiatlons was taken, it was said, be cause it did not suit the conveniences of both sides to continue consldera tion of the demands this week. Some of the operators had business en gagements within the next few days, and the International officers of the union participating in the confer ence have arranged to hold a further conference here with bituminous op erators from the Middle West, be ginning Thursday. Thirty seven operators and thirty representatives of the mine workers were in a joint conference.

Alvan Markle, of Hazleton, was se lected chairman of the meeting, and James A. Gorman, also of llazleton secretary of the Anthracite Concilia tion Board, was made secretary. White Justifies Increase President White, Informally pre senting the demands formulated by the miners at Wilkes Barre, last September, and ratified by the recent convention of the United Mine Work ers at Indianapolis, made a general statement Justifying the 20 per cent ncrease In wages asked for on the ground that business wag prosperous. alues of all kinds had gone up, Mr. White said.

He called attention to the fact that the United States Steel Corporation had Increased wages of employes, and also noted that in some of the soft coal and coke regions employers had raised wage rates. Mr. White laid emphasis on the demand for an eight hour day and also upon the one which calls for full and complete recognition" of the union. He did not specifically mention the check off, but it is un derstood that the demand involves that system of collecting the dues organized mine workers Simple Method of Adjustment Other speakers were Thomas Ken edy, of Hazleton, president of the Ihieh Valley region miners; John Dempsey, of Scranton, president of the Wyoming fields; James Mat thews, of Shenandoah, head of the miners' organization In the Schnyl III region; J. F.

Hollister, Shamokin, district board member from the Schuylkill fields; C. C. Bonner, an in ternational organizer from the Ha zleton district, and Mr. Warriner. District President Dempsey and Kennedy, members of the concilia tion board, spoke on all the demands, but went into much detail on the one that calls for a "more simplified, speedy and satisfactory method of adjusting grievances," which would irtually abolish the.

conciliation oard. They said the methods of the board, which was created by the Anthracite Coa! Strike Commission 1903, following the great strike 1902, were antiquated, slow and expensive. They favored the settlement of grievances by committees the mines, or some such method prevails in the soft coal fields, where a commissioner appointed by the operators meets a representative of the men to settle labor troubles. Mr. Warriner, replying to the workers, said the operators were glad the opportunity to enter into negotiations with the men in an effort to arrive at a satisfactory settlement of all differences between the employers and the employes.

Warrlner's Kply "We are willing to look at the demands in every possible light," he said. "We are willing to stand for reasonable conditions of labor and rates of pay. We are willing to go beyond this and give consideration portunity for the social and physical to all questions that will give op betterment of the men. "In doing all this, however, the operators must be alive to their own business conditions and must also have regard for their responsibility to the public. Every element of the demands will receive the fullest con sideration." Mr.

White again addressed the operators. He declared that he and his colleagues were appreciative of the manner in which they had been received and of the attitude taken by Mr. Warriner. A resolution was then adopted referring the demands to a sub committee of four miners and four op erators. The operators selected as their representatives Mr.

Warriner, W. L. Connell, of Scranton; W. Hichards, Pottsville, president of the Philadelphia Reading coal and Iron Company, and Morris Williams, Philadelphia, president of the Susquehanna Coal Company, a subsidiary of the Pennsylvania. The sub committee of the miners Is composed of President White and District Presidents Dempsey, Kennedy and Matthews.

(Wireless to Sayville). The German Admiralty has reiterated its statement that two British warship were sunk by German torpedo craft on the night of February 10 11. The new statement which was issued in reply to the British Admiralty statement denying the loss of more than one British vessel on this occasion, is as follows: "The British Admiralty has declared that the reports regarding the loss of a second British warship in the engagement of the'night of February 10 11 were untrue. In spite of this official denial, it has been proved by the observations made by German sea forces, to which no exception can be taken, that besides the Arabia, a second ship also was destroyed. Therefore, the report of the German Admiralty of February 12 must be maintained as correct." It was announced in an official German statement of February 11 that a British cruiser named the Arabis had been sunk and a second cruiser torpedoed by a German torpedo craft.

The Admiralty the day following announced that the second British warship hit by a torpedo had sunk. Tho British Admiralty lia declared that the cruisers mentioned by the Germans in this connection having been met on the Dogger Bank on the night of February 10 11 were four mine sweeping venselF, three of which had returned safely. intendent cf Lebanon, sewers, of pneumonia, sgei 1 yz' 5 yars, died suddenly r.mina nristiana. wife of 'William Kiaf, AMvntown, Wrs.
