WANT MORE PAY.
Mine Workers Preparing to Make n
Demand for an Increase
in Wages.

indianapolis, Ind, Jan. 2S.-The de-
mand to be made by the delegates to
the national convention of the United
Mine Workers of America at the joint
conference with the delegates from
the Interstate Operators association,
to be held in Columbus, o., beginning
Thursday of next week, were outlined
at an executive session held in Tomiin-
SON hall Saturday. These demands
will include first an absolute single
standard or run-of-mine basis to cover
the entire competitive field composed
of Indiana, Illinois, Ohio and Pennsyl-
vania. To this will be added a demand
for general advance of ten cents per
ton over the present mine run prices in
the different districts. In Indiana this
will mean, if the operators accede to
the proposition to be presented to them,
straight mining price of SO cents in
the bituminous districts. The mining
price of mine-run coal differs in the
various fields, and is calculated upon
the percentage of slack contained in
the coal. This is higher in Indiana and
Illinois than in the other states. A
scale of prices for outside and inside
day labor will be fixed at the joint con-
ference, and will obtain in all of the
districts of the competitive field. This,
il is believed, will be based upon the
price paid at present in Illinois, which
is conceded to be from ten to fifteen per
cent. higher than in the other states.
Heretofore the different localities have
fixed the scale for mine laborers. 1t is
proposed to cover in the present scale
a wage rate for all classes of la Dor en-
ployed in and about the mines. Dele
gates preserve a discreet silence about
the proposed scale, but the figures
above quoted are believed to be correct.
The anthracite scale will be pre-
scented this morning. 1t will embrace
in its preamble resolution making it
obligatory upon the national officers to
extend at once to the operators of the
anthracite district an invitation to
meet the representatives during March,
the exact date TO be agreed upon later.
This will be followed by a demand for
an advance which it is believed will be
about ten per cent. over the highest
price paid at present in the anthracite
field. The scale will also embrace the
adjustment of the conditions objected
to at the time an invitation was ex.
tended to the operators to hold wage
scale preceding the anthracite strike
This scale will be adopted, it is thought
by the national convention, and thus
Endorsed, which means that the entire
organization is pledged to its estab'
lishment.

THOUSANDS PERISH.
Province of ShanG-Si-Decree
Against Discrimin alton.

Picking, Jan. Esther has been
great distress in the province of
Shang-Si owing to the famine, and
thousands have died. The court has
ordered rice relief to be issued in
large quantities. A report reached
the foreign ENJOYS that native Chris
tians suffering from the famine were
to be Disseminated against and to be
punished if they even begged for
food. Mr.. Conger, Sir Ernest NJ. Sa-
tow and VI. Pichon, the United States,
British and French ministers, protest
ed to Prince Ching and Ii Hung
Chang against such discrimination
and the court issued an edict order
ing all relief officials and Chinese SOL
diers to treat Christians exactly the
same as others throughout the en-
pire under penalty of decapitation.
The foreign ENJOYS consider this a
most important decree II it is carried
out.

TITUS AMENDMENT
Another Fatal Error Has Been
Discovered.

Des Moines, Jan. E26-It has been
discovered that the Titus biennial
elections amendment is inherently
defective. 1t is made up of several
separate amendments to- the consti-
tuition. The Iowa constitution guar
antees the people the right to vote
on every proposed amendment to
the constitution separately.
Such defect as this cannot help
but be fatal. Indeed it is probable
that the supreme court, which is
now considering it, will decide
against the Titus botch I on this
ground. The other objections which
have been made to the amendment
may have scotched it. Certainly a
defect in the thing itself must be
fatal.

MEETS WITH APPROVAL.
EIks Race Meeting Endorsed by the
Board of Trade.

1t begins to look as though the Elks
Race Meeting was an assured fact.
The matter has been brought to the
notice of the Board of Trade OF the
city and it has the full sanction and
approval of the board.
1t was the sense of special meet
ing of the board that the Elks Race
Meeting would be fitting celebra-
ton ofthe Fourth of July for the city
of Oskaloosa, and that no other form
of entertainment be attempted for
the nations birthday.
A committee of business men has
been selected to assist the Elks in the
work of getting the thing upon its
feet and in the work of soliciting and
they will make business call upon
interested persons during the next
week.

MINES AND MINING.
Items Cleaned From Various
Surrounding Camps.

Reports received from the confer
ence of the Mine Workers union in
progress at Indianapolis preparatory
to the joint scale meeting with the
operators in Columbus this week, say
that the Mine Workers have voted
to admit Iowa and Michigan to the
interstate conference at Columbus.
This action does not signify great
deal. The miners took the sama ac-
ton year ago, but at the Indianap-
oils meeting the operators from IL
linois succeeded in excluding Iowa.
They were fearful if Iowa was admit
ted that the state would force an adj
vance in prices paid in Illinois, which
have always been lower than in
Iowa, that would exclude Illinois
coal from the north and east parts
of the state. 1t is the general opin-
ion of Iowa operators that they will
be excluded this year for the same
reasons.
Coal is now selling in 5O-pound lots
in Colorado because of the famine
brought on by the coal strike, and
there is much suffering because of
the scarcity of fuel. The railroads
are trying to supply the smelters and
factories with coal enough to keep
them going, but the strikers say
everything must stop inside of two
or three days. The Colorado citizens
now appreciate the meaning of the
term "black diamonds" as applied
to coal.
On February 26 the joint conven-
ton of miners and operators in Iowa
will meet in Ottumwa to arrange the
scale of wages under which the min
ers in this state will work. This will
probably take several days, as the
business is important and every point
will be considered at length. Despite
rumors to the contrary, it is not gem
orally believed that an increase in
pay VIII be demanded by the men
this year.

CASS GATES
is DEAD
Pioneer of Old Custer County Sue.
cumbs TO the Inevitable and
Joins the Great Ma
,jOrity.

Cassius c. Gates, one of the pioneers
of old Custer county, justice of the
peace in this district, an ex county Of
fetal, and man whose only errors in
life were in the name of good fellow
ship, passed into the great beyond last
Friday afternoon at the 7UK ranch.
'Cass, as he was familiarly known
to his many friends in Forsyth, was
one of the early settlers of Custer coun-
ty and for over twenty years has made
his home in old Custer. He was born
in New Hampshire little over s. years
ago and settled in Miles City. then a
mushroom town, in 1879. He opened
the first public school in Custer county
in an oldslog cabin that still stands on
Main street in Miles City. In the
spring Of 1880 he entered the store of
Charles Strevell and worked as a clerk
until the fall of 80, when he was elect
ed county assessor and served one term.
After the expiration of his term of Of
tice he worked in the general store of
Charlie Savage for Il time From
Miles City he went to Hathaway, where
Jack Matson employed him for a wear
or so.
He later entered in to the insurance
business, being located at Miles City
for while, and then came to Forevth.
He was clerk in the Alexander store
for several years and several wears
ago opened up the furniture store now
owned by Kennedy & Hopkins. Last
spring he opened up an insurance and
real estate office here and was appoint
ed justice Of the peace. His health this
year has been SO precarous, however.
that he was unable to attend to his af-
fairs much of the time and during these
periods of sickness it has been custom
ary for his friends to take HIM to the
7UK ranch to recuperate. He was
taken early last week to the ranch for
the last time and died Friday after
noon at 2:3O O'Clock: When DR.. Grim
