coal fields was decided upon after midnight

men and mine owners disagreed upon the
question of including the day laborers in
scheme Of profit-sharing, the owners declar-
ing there was no margin for the laborers.
An executive session Of four hours by the

adjournment Of the joint conference. A de-
cision to strike was the result. The Indiana
miners and operators also failed to reach an
understanding, and strike in that state is
also not improbable.

PORTLAND 1seow1rH SUPPLEMENT

During the ruling on the quorum question
Bynum was unusually boisterous. One day
he jumped down into the area in front Of the
Speakers table, and, shaking his fist at the
Speaker. declared what terrible things the
Indiana Democrats would do before they
would submit to tyranny. At the end of
long recital of terrible doings he wound up
as follows "Before we will submit to this
tyranny we will burn all the grass about u.s."
The threat was so unusual that 1t attracted
widespread attention, especially in Indiana,
where one of the papers came out with this
verse:

Were leaping from the lofty buildings-why
No fiery tongues were darting from the frames
