NOTES.
1t was remarked that there was
not mosquito to be seen, heard
or felt within the enclosure.
Some of the riders of the even
ing were not in uniform, but ap-
peared in loose undershirts with
briches. 1t is suggested that a
rule to require presentable uni
forms would be only what is due
to the proprieties, not to mention
the artistic tastes of such an as
sembly of ladies and gentlemen as
patronized the opening of the
track.
When the band plays, there
ought to be a code of signals be.
tween its leader and the judges.
Frequently on Saturday the
music interrupted announcements.
The Government band under
Prof. Berger's leadership greatly
enIivened the occasion day and
night.

word that they had plenty of food

on them when needed.
Developments in the coal mining
situation in the Pittsburg district will
be watched with unusual interest this
week. Both sides are apparently at
rest today, but it was developed that
at the conference tomorrow there will
probably be a disruption. BY many, it
is believed that RatchfOrd, the national
president of the miners organization,
will not be present. 1t is claimed that
he will stick to his original assertion,
that he will not agree to arbitrate
unless all the states involved are rep
resented. 1t is a Well-knoWn fact that
the operators of other states will not
join the local operators In the move
ment for arbitration. If Ratchford is
obdurate, the conference will be use
less.
This, in brief is the situation, and il
is apparent that both sides are max
ing preparations for movements that
will be to their benefit. From a relia-
Bile source it was learned that, If the
operators start mines on the lines laid
down, other mines will also be started
by the miners. 1t is proposed to select
the conference and who are friendly
to the miners. They will be given per-
mission to mine coal at the rate de-
manded and the coal stored. By this
means it is expected to get fund from
the union miners that happen to be
working and with this fund to pay the
expenses of fight against imported
labor. The miners officials are making
arrangements to have a fund on hand
to send foreign labor home just as fast
as it arrives. With mines operated
under the jurisdiction of the labor lead
ers and with operators that are friend
ly, who reap a benefit, they hope to
have an available and large fund.
This plan has been outlined and will be
submitted to the national officials, if
the conference proves failure.
