MINERS ARE OUT.
General Suspension of Work Caused
by Failure to Agree on Wage
Scale in Indiana

Terre Haute, Ind, April "a gem
eral suspension of work took place
Tuesday in the coal fields of Indiana
and several thousand men are idle as
the result of the operators and miners
in convention here failing to agree on
the wage scale for the year. Mass
meetings were held Saturday in many
localities and it was almost the unani-
nous sentiment that firm stand
should be taken against the operators
demands, that the powder be pur-
chased of them. The miners will stand
by their original demand to buy pow
der in the open market. The annual
wage scale expired Monday, and until
an agreement is reached between 5000
and 5000 men will be idle.

In Colorado.
Denver, Col, April 3.-The city cleo
ton has gone heavy republican, the
only part which is at all in doubt be-
ing the mayoralty and some of the
members of the council. Henry v.
Johnson, present mayor, ran inde-
pendently on ticket which, with three
or four exceptions, was identical with
that of the republicans, headed by
Robert r. Wright. The combined vote
for the two is conceded by leading
democrats to exceed that for the dem
ocratic ticket, headed by Judge e. l..
Wells, by from 1000 to 5000. John
sons vote is not far from 1000, which
leaves the vote for mayor in doubt.
The republicans will probably have
majority in the council.
Pueblo, Col, April 3.--Returns thus
far indicate the reelection of Mayor
George West (dem.) over John Down

Law and Order league. The platform
of the latter was the suppression Of

looms at midnight and on Sunday
The vote was much lighter than an
tieipated, the good government forces
failing to make the rally anticipated,
The council is still in doubt.
