Ala., Feb. 1 7.—The situation in the Joint conference of operators and miners of the central bituminous coal fields, which is endeavoring to arrange a new wage scale, appears to have reached a point where a break is imminent, unless some concession is made by either side. The stumbling block Is the miners' demand which calls for the weighing of coal before it is screened and for payment on the mine run basis. The r.ubcommlttoe of the joint conference was in secret session until late last night without making any progress. The miners will hold a caucus today to decide whether they will deliver an ultimatum to the operators.The Western Pennsylvania operators are still holding out against accepting the mine run demand. Ohio, Indiana and Illinois are willing to accept mi no run with certain modifications.One of the Ohio operators! expressed the opinion last night that if the Western Pennsylvania situation were out of the way a contract could easily be signed. - Ohio in accepting the mine run basis wants certain protective measures adopted, and it is believed an agreetuAt with regard to these could be easily reached. President John P. White of the miners' unu n told the Western Pennsylvania operators that If their attitude results iu the failure of making a four-atate agreement the Pennsylvania mine owners could not expect to go hack to Pittsburgh and draw up a wage scale at variance with the policy the miners are following in Mobile. Operators and miners are divided in opinion on tlie chances of an agreement l>elng reached In Mobile, but most of them doubt it. The scenli: equipment is stupendous and tho company an exceptionally large one. .Musical lovers are in for tho very biggest treat of the past 10 years. A representative gathering of men Interested in outdoor sports met in the lodge room in The Spirit building last night and effected a county organization, known as the Jefferson County Branch of the Wild Life League, by electing the following officers:Dr. F.

Brookville Not Represented. Through some misunderstanding Brookville tailed to have a representative present last evening, but in view of the fact that an enthusiastic Wild Life league is organized there, they were honored with the treasurers hi p. All local Wild Life Leaguea In the county may affiliate themselves with the county organization, and participate i:» the county work.

Ala., Feb. 1 7.—The situation in the Joint conference of operators and miners of the central bituminous coal fields, which is endeavoring to arrange a new wage scale, appears to have reached a point where a break is imminent, unless some concession is made by either side. The stumbling block Is the miners' demand which calls for the weighing of coal before it is screened and for payment on the mine run basis. The r.ubcommlttoe of the joint conference was in secret session until late last night without making any progress. The miners will hold a caucus today to decide whether they will deliver an ultimatum to the operators.The Western Pennsylvania operators are still holding out against accepting the mine run demand. Ohio, Indiana and Illinois are willing to accept mi no run with certain modifications.One of the Ohio operators! expressed the opinion last night that if the Western Pennsylvania situation were out of the way a contract could easily be signed. - Ohio in accepting the mine run basis wants certain protective measures adopted, and it is believed an agreetuAt with regard to these could be easily reached. President John P. White of the miners' unu n told the Western Pennsylvania operators that If their attitude results iu the failure of making a four-atate agreement the Pennsylvania mine owners could not expect to go hack to Pittsburgh and draw up a wage scale at variance with the policy the miners are following in Mobile. Operators and miners are divided in opinion on tlie chances of an agreement l>elng reached In Mobile, but most of them doubt it. The scenli: equipment is stupendous and tho company an exceptionally large one. .Musical lovers are in for tho very biggest treat of the past 10 years.
