The final effort to effect a eettlement

today at a conference between President
Mitchell and his associates of the
United Mine Workers with tha operators
led by Harry. Taylor pf Illinois. Mitch
ell hopes for an adustment to be made
In Indiana, Illlnola and Ohio, which will
force the Pennsylvania operators to ac
cede to a eettlement. . . '
It eeeme without doubt that there
will be no .strike .in these states and
that the operatora will reatore the re

years ago, and poaalbly grant an in

the bltumlnoua fields and probably force
the anthracite operatora to similar ac

national convention of the mine workers
to finally aettle the matter. - - - '

For reaeona . unknown at the local
office -of the railway" mall eervlce, the
government ' will spend - almoat three
weeks longer this year weighing mall
than It did four years ago. It the same
proportionate increase la found all over
the United States that Is known to ex
1st In and out of Portland, which le in
the eighth division, it means many
thousands-pf additional mall tonnage
every day. And. the extra tonnage
chargea that' Uncle Bam mutt pay to
the carriers will run up well Into the
thouaanda of dollars every 14 houre.
. Four yeara ago, when the mails were
weighed to fix the compensation for the
period to end at midnight on June St
of thla year, the work conaumed 71 days
or a little more than, two months. Thla
year the Waahlngtom authorities di
rected that the weighers remain on the
trains for 10 days, three months, or II
days longer than in 1(01. .
The same system employed then Is In
vogue this year. Every train running
out of a distribution city, like Portland,
carries a weigher. Before the train
learee the eltx every sack and pouch la
weighed. At otatlona along; the route
traveled 1 by the . man - where mall la
thrown off,, the eacks and pouchee are
weighed, as are thoae -received.
Theee reoorda are carefully tabulated
and forwarded to Alexander H. Steph
ana, superintendent for the local dlvl
alon. whose head . offices are at San
Francisco. He la turn eends them to
the postal authorities at Washington.
When the period for ' weighing has
