WILLI NGN ESS IS APPARENT AMONG UNION MINERS RETURN ' (1111 WARF SUAI F S THE CAUSE OF DELAY Secretary Wilson Has Begun Smooth ing the Way For a Joint Conference of the Minera and Operators In Washington Tomorrow Both Sides . Agreed to Attend. . . WASHINGTON, Nov. l:i. The ap parent unwillingness of all union coal miners to return to work at the old pay scale caused government officials to put forth every effort Wednesday to bring about immediate negotiation of a new wage scale. Secretary Wilson, without waiting 'for formal acceptance of his offei to mediate the differences, began smooth ing the way for the joint conference of miners and operators he has called to meet in Washington Friday. Both sides noiifietl him they would attend the conference. Spokesmen for the mine workers said that if the mine owners came in u spirit of conciliation a new agreement could be framed nnd ratified by Saturday night. Until an agreement is formally accepted by the minorsVscnle committee, labor leaders said there was little hope of full re sumption of production. It was because of this possibility and the steady drain meanwhile on the nation's visible coal supply that Sec retary 'Wilson undertook to induce some of the miners and operators to see the other fellow's side. Secretary Wilson was greatly en couraged at the readiness of the two sides to meet and make a determined effort to frame a wage schedule satis factory to miners and operators, lie was iiiite hopeful of success and this feeling was shared by most officials. Reports from mining districts in Ohio yesterday showed I hat none of the 40.000 striking miners hnd returfl- d to work. In Iowa not a union mine 1 was in operation. Only four of trie mines in the Kanawha, W. va Is were working. Withdrawal of strike order made no change in the Colorado situation.

WELL Election Will He Held for Hie Bond lag of tho City to the Extent of t.'IOO.OOO to l.ay l'lpe Una np tha Orando Hondo ltlver to Bcuver. - The city commission last evening took steps to increase the water supply for the city of La Grande. by voting to dig a well at an estima ted cost of 112,000 to 113,000 and to, lay a now pipe line up the Grande Itonrte River to lower Beaver. Tha estimated cost of the latter propo sition is around 1300.000,- and will be voted on by the citizens In the noar future. Engineer L. C. Kelsoy, consulting etiRlneer, was prosont and gave, a verbal report that the most feasible proposition for the' future water supply of La Orando, was to go to Looking Glass. In this river Is suf ficient water to supply the city In tne future, and It Is of sufficient olovatlon to bring It into the city. Dut would mean an expense of be tween 1700,000 and $800,000. The water would, have to be piped for 40 miles, with 20 and 22 Inch pipe. In speaking ot the Beaver Crock supply, Engineer Kelaey said tu change the pipe line would mean an expense of I3G0.0OO. For the pros ont usage, nrr.-KOisoy estimated rant, the city noods 2,500,000 to 3,000. 000 gallons of water per day. And tho future supply, said Mr. Kolsey, would have to be by rosorvolr. Ho estimated that 1,000,000 to l.GOO,- 000 gallons is the best that can be obtained under tho present system during tho dry season. In a written report some tluie ago, Mr. Kelsoy said there wore only two temporary supplies obtolnable, ono, to pump out of river, and the other, to dig wells. Mr. Orundy, the com missioner who said he was "first. last and always opposed to wells," said last night tha the thought wells were only a Rnmble, but that he would be game and If ten people would go In, mcludln g the two commissioners present, he would give 500 towards digging a woll. Mr. McKennon suld that had no money to gamble. Mr. Orandy furth- , er staled that- he believed In a pipe line up the Orando Rondo river tq Beavor creek, that ho thought too much money had already been spent on the Beavor Crok proposition to abandon It altogether. W. II-. Bohnenkamp, of the Ad Cluh committee, of which a goodly number were present, said that ha understood tho railroad figured on Pumping their water this coming year, and that thoy had their nla. chinory ordered. Their well at present has only a naturul flow 'of 30 gallons to the mlnuto, while they use COO, OOO gallons a day, therefore necessitating the enlarging of their well, and tin flow. Mr. Bohnenkamp said he believed In an auxiliary supply such as walls, then If anything, goes wrong with tho big supply, thorn is somothlrrg to fall back on in an emergency. Following Engineer L. . Kolsey's report to tho compilssioners fhut V the (illy did not think It was able to go to Looking Glass for water the next, best plan was .to build's pipe up the Grande Rondo rlvjer tn ileHver, J. D.
