If, The subcommittee of the central competitive bituminous coal field Joint scale committee, appointed today to consider the deadlock ef the full committee on tha miners dsmands for an Increased wage for day and monthly man and pick and machine mining, adjourned late today until 10 a. m. tomorrow without taking action. i Bolshovikl forces which had crossed the Bug between Hrubleasow and Wlod-tv- t, have been thrown back. On the left wing the Poles, starting from Modlin, made a successful attack toward Mlawa. Thanks to this operation, the positions the Poles occupy In the fork of the Narew and Bug, which constitute the key defenses of Warsaw, arc better protected from a flank attack. In the center, on, the lower Bug, all attacks dsltverea by the enemy- to enable him to approach nearer the Warsaw forts, - were repelled with heavy loesea. Rad cavalry continues to operate along the old frontier without , opposition from the Poles. This operation Is not connected with the battle along the Bug, and can not In any way influence the Issue there, even should tha Bolshe-- . vlkl throw In stronger forces. It Is considered that the Polish troops occupying Thorn and Chraudens and distributed along the Vistula, are ample to protect the Danstg communications from any danger.

Vice President MlUer of the Illinois operators said the operators offar would glva tbs day and monthly men an Increase estimated at from 15 to 72 cents a day.
