heard?"
He was informed that the presi

heard from the presidents cabinet.
His answer this time was:
'T have not heard from the cabinet"
"Have you heard directly or indi-
rectly from Commissioner Wright"

posed plans that have been published
for ending the strike.

by a wish to escape the complication
of the negotiations by heated public
discussion at this stage That the
parties to the conference feel that they
have accomplished something is borne
out by the expression of the belief
that the miners will soon be again at
work
One object of the conference was to
consider some of the propositions that
have been sent 70 the president for
settling the strike. Two constantly
recurring propositions for federal in
reference, one that United States
troops be sent into Pennsylvania for
the protection of the men the opera
tors employ, and the other that the
mines be seized by the general gov
ernment. are rejected, no matter by

WALKER BACH CONTEST
Unable to Carry RatIedge, Bach
Dropped Him

Unable to Carry Ratledge, Bach
Dropped Him
The contest between F. e Bach and
Francis M. Walker was the one in
which the most interest WAS centered.
The city vote was what saved Mr..
Bach. EARLY in the day he found that
he could not work the combination he
had made Later. in the day Ratledge
and Deighton were dropped Bach
traded everything for anything. Bach
received a smaller majority than
any other candidate. 1t is said that
much money was used in his interest.
Carried the County
Walker carried rural New Castle by
less than 500 mapority. Moore had
big majority Stidham was the only
man who had more. Clark, who was
a candidate for coroner, received the
smallest number of votes, 30S. Moore
received three times as many votes in
rural New Castle county as Ratledge,
and twice as many in the city. HIS
majority was greater than all the
votes received by aRtledge.
Stidhams Big Majority
Emmitt F. Stidham's majority was
greater than the vote received by
either Of his opponents. He carried all
districts in the city but six, and all but
three of the representative districts in
the county
) Jolls, who won the nomination for
clerk of the Orphans Court, was the
last man to enter the race, and the
showing he made was surprising.
Taylor's Small Majority
The small majority of John Taylor
in New Castle hundred was a surprise
as was McFarhn's majority In the
Fifth senatorial district. McFarlir
won by two votes. Had Elkinton made
