(By the Associated Ptcss.) New York, April 3. Although noth ing has occurred to change the situa tion, there was a general expectation today that the conference between the sub-committee of the anthracite oper ators and the miners, which will be held in the Jersey Central building later in the day, will bear fruit . There was a strong optimistic feeling among the representatives of the miners that something will happen greatly to re lieve the situation. President Mitchell during the fore noon said there was no change in the situation so tar as the miners are con cerned. The men still stand firm for what they have asked ,and he felt con fident that the operators would not con tinue to maintain the attitude they had assumed up to the present time. Mr. Mitchell denied all rumors that conces sions would be made by him today. All reports of that character, he said, were mere speculations. It had been rumor ed that the miners would not press all the demands they have made, but would if tho mine owners showed a disposition to meet them half way, drop some of the propositions thoy have mud.' Notwithstanding Mr. Mitchell's firm stand It is considered quite likely that the Shamokin scale committee would rather make concessions than declare a strike at this time. .

Statements As To Number of Miners At Wfrk Are Conflicting. Inde pendent Operators To Meet Again Tonight, It Is Understood. (By the Associated Press.) Pittsburg, Pa., April 3. State ments as to the number of miners at work in the Pittsburg district today are conflicting. Officials of the Pittsburg Coal Com pany announced this afternoon that all their mines were in operation, but with reduced forces. They claim that between 15,000 and 18,000 out of the 23,000 men employed by them are at work, while Patrick Dolan, the former miners' president of this district, who op poses the resumption, claims to have kowledge that but 8,000 men re ported in the entire district. Reports from outside sources Indicate that probably fifty per cent of the miners in the district are idle. The failure to resume generally is attributed to three causes, viz: The delay in getting word to the miners that the Pitthurg Coal Com pany had signed the scale; Dolan's influence and the disinclination of the men to return to work the day after a holiday. : In regard to Dolan's statement that Frank Keehan cannot act as a member of tne scale committee or as president of the district, because his local is under suspension, the del egates say the Castle Shannon local, to which Feehan belongs, is in good standing and the latter has a right to serve. It is understood that the inde pendent operators who met last night and adjourned without taking action on the scale, will hold another meet ing tonight. LAST FOX CHASE.
