Indianapolis, March 30. — The joint meeting* of the bituminous coal opera tors and miners of the central competí- live district, composed of Weetern Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana and I lli nois, aud of the Southwestern district, composed of Missouri, Kansas, Texas, Arkansas, Oklahoma and Indian Terri tory, last night reached a final disa greement on the wage scale to go into effect at tiie expiration of tiie present scale on April 1, and the conference of the central district adjourned sine die, while the joint scale committee of the Southwestern district decided to report a disagreement to the joint conference of that district today. It is expected that this conference w ill at once ad journ sine die without an agreement. The action of the two conferences will directly cause the suspension of work after Saturday by 178,000 mine's unless something unforeseen, like sub mission of the differences to arbitra tion, should intervene, aud indirectly will affect 206,500 more miners, not including its effect on 150,000 miners in the anthracite field, who were last night ordered to suspend work Monday. A national convent'on of the miners will be held today to decide whether miners will be allowed to sign the ad vance scale demanded and today re fused by all operators with a few excep tions, and to go to work where the ad vance is offered. Operators employing 25,000 miners in the central competi tive field have openly offered to pay the advance during the joint conference sessions. . IN MEM0BY OP THE I0ST AT SEA.
