INDIANA MINERS IN DEADLOCK

Operators’ Demand to Return to Work Pending Conference Is Refused. Terre Haute, Ind., April 8. —When the executive committee of the Indiana miners met the committee of operators on the Invitation of the latter, they were surprised to receive the proposition of the miners’ national organization, made at Cinclnantl, which the operators said they were ready to sign, but that pending an agreement on details of the contract applying to Indiana alone they insisted that the men agree to return to work Monday. The miners said they were not authorized to go that far and when they reported this to the convention, that body decided against resumption of work pending negotiations.
