LOCKOUT OF MINERS is EXPECTED.
Men VIII Meet in Convention Today
nmd DCliNer IN LIlimntnm.

DES MONIES, Jan. 20.-(Special Tele-
gram)-lt is almost certain there will be a
big miners strike in this district, involving
about 1000 miners. 1t is the result of the
coal war, which has compelled operators to
reduce wages. Miners have been asked to
accept so cents for all coal taken out, in
stead of the old scale of so cents for all that
passes over the screen. The operators claim
there is little difference in the two rates,
but the miners declare they cannot live at
the reduced rate and will strike. The op-
orators say the men must take the reduced
wages or be locked out. The business is so
badly demoralized by the price cutters that
all effort to conduct 1t at living prices has
been given up The miners will meet tomor-
row in delegate convention and deliver an
ultimatum which will demand finally the
restoration of the scale. The lockout is re-
garded as almost assured.

LIQUOR MAKERS bring PRESSURE.
Agitation for Modification of the
Mnlct Inv In IoMn.

strong pressure is being brought upon the
legislature from all parts Of the state to
compel a modification OF the mulct prohibit
tory law, to permit the making OF at least
a part OF the beer and wine that Is sold and
drunk IN this state. Both city and county
officers are taking an interest in the pro-
posed char 70 Both have interests In COM
mon, but CLASH In one feature of the changes
sought to be made. Tbs city officials have
entered the league composed OF all the prin-
cpal cities in the state. whose object is to
have the law so changed that 1t will permit
the cities to get all of the money derived
from saloon licenses. Under the mulct law,
which fixes the license throughout the state
at $50 month, one-half OF 1t goes TO the
county and the other to the city. The Board
of County Supervisors tavors the division
plan and opposes the project of the cities
to get all Of the money. The members OF
the city council have all put themselves on
record iIs favor of this change, and 1t is in
timated that the supervisors VIII take the
opposite course and will have the support of
the farmers. They will also have the sup
port of the temperance organizations and
the churches.
The Missionary and Ladies' So
church is the, first organized body in
the city to take the initiative in opposition
to the modification of the law, and yester-
day It's members met and adopted resolutions
WHICH VIII De sent 10 the IOttaWatainle rep
