Relying upon the good, common
sense of the American people, and be
lieving that a majority of them, when
uninfuenoed by party prejudice, will
vote right on all questions submitted to
them on their merit; and, further, t.
efectually annihilate the pernicioue
lobby in legislation, we demand direct
legislation by means of the initiative
and referendum.

FAT m PERIL OF THH FIRE
Chicago Scale for Coal Mining il Danger
Of Repudiation.


Pittsburg, March 19.-The Pittsburg
coal operators held a stormy meeting
yesterday and as q result the Chicago
agreement may be repudiated. The
meeting was attended by all Of the big
operators and was for the purpose of
r2tifying the action of a committee sent
to Columbus last week to arrange the
day and dead work scales under the
Chicago agreement. When the commit
tees report was read it became appar-
ent that an additional cents a ton for
drilling in machine mines would be re-
quired OF the Pittsburg operators.
This new condition was a hard Jolt
for those present. and all declared that
the Chicago agreement does not require
such a payment. One operator said
this condition would give Ohio opera
tors an advantage over Pittsburg of Il
cents instead of cents as under the
old differential. A new conference be-
tween Ohio and Pittsburg operators will
be necessary and should it not solve the
difficulty the question will likely be
referred to arbitration.

Washington, March 10. = The house
spent another day on the postoftice ap-
preparation bill, but only disposed of
two pages OF the bill. Most of the day

of the pneumatic tube mail service in
New York. Boston. and Philadelphia,
and the advisability of continuing the
existing contract. An amendment was
adopted making IL a misdemeanor for
any person to pad the mails during
the period when the mails are being
weighed to determine the compensation
TO be paid to the railroads for their
transportation.
