Back to the Commission by
the Operators.
PROPOSED CONFERENCE is DECLINED
Independent Operators Being It's Ac-
tive Opponents.
They Want All the Facts to Come Out
Before the Arbitrators and Say
They Have Perfect Case.

New York, Nov. ga serious hitch
occurred yesterday in the plans for a
| settlement Of the coal controversy by
conference between the coal operators
and the miners union, and it is now
| almost certain that the final adjust
ment of the points at issue will be
referred again to the Gray commits
sion At meeting between the presi-
| dents of the coal roads and a large
number of Independent operators a
| strong protest was entered by the lat
ter against treating directly with the
| miners.
He Would Inform the Public.
The protest was presented by G. D.
Simpson, of the West End Coal COM
pany, who said in part: During the
last five months no consistent effort
has been made to inform the public
Of the true state of affairs. Conse-
quently it has accepted the miners
version and believes we are treating
employees unfairly, defrauding them of
IucII cdI1IIIiSS d1Iu preventing I0om
from making decent livelihood 1t is
our opinion that testimony
may be taken which will prove clearly
to the public at large that the wages
we have paid and the treatment &C.
corded our men have been fair, and
that their earnings have been large
in proportion to the intelligence re-
CURED and their willingness to work
Why So Many Men Are Employed.
"As to miners it can be shown that
their annual earnings are more than
the amount called fair wages which
was specified by two witnesses called
for the plaintiff. Their wages per hour
are greater than those of skilled me-
chanics working and living in the
same regions, and they work less hours
per day through choice, and conse-
quently through the same choice
less days per year, since the operator
must employ a large number of men
in order to secure the output which
might be produced by a fraction of
that number. This is very readily
susceptible of proof by our books and
those Of your own mining company"

Called lin Criminal Court
Thursday.

In criminal court the last obstacle to the
trial Of former State Treasurer Meserve on
a charge Of embezzlement, which trial was
set for Thursday morning, was removed
yesterday when John Berry forestalled
a Jury trial by Withdrawing his plea of not
guilty Of assault with intent to kill and
pleading guilty to assault and battery. Berry
was sentenced by Judge Baxter to three
months in the county Jail and fined the costs
of the action.
Judge Baxter stated that with this case
out OF the way the call is cleared to the
Meserve case and that he knew Of no rea-
son why 1t should not be takes up immedi-
ately Thursday morning, although the clerk
Of the court has received a letter stating
that State Bank Examiner James Cline, who
is enc Of the states witnesses, is confined
to his bed at his home in Minden, Neb., by
an attack Of quinsy. A doctors certificate
was enclosed with the letter.

ALCOHOL AND COLD ARE FATAL
john HOaGIand a Victim of Excessive
Drinking and sitting ON n
Frosty Curb.

John Hoagland, aged IS. OF Fourteenth and
Ohio streets. died last night at 1880 o'clock
from exposure and alchoholic poisoning.
Word was sent to the police station at 6
o'clock that Hoagland was lying in his home
in a semi-unconscious condition, and thai
1t was suspected he had taken some drug
to kill himself. Police Surgeon Francis
Borglum attended the man. Hoagland was
unconscious when the doctor arrived. Heart
stimulants we're administered and the man
revived, but did not regain consciousness.
II appears from the doctors investigation
that Hoagland had been drinking hard and
that he was found sitting on the curb along
Cunning street at q late hour OF the night.
When asked to explain he said he wanted
to freeze to death. He was taken home.

AFFAIRS At SOUTH OMAHA
Ordinance to RegSlats Junk Dealers Will
Re Prepared
LIBRARY BOARD WILL PURCHASE sITI
Appointment of Members of Library
Board f. Defective and VIII Have
TO BE Made over Again
by Mayor.

Two little boys living on the south side
were called before Judge King a day or
two ago for stealing a small quantity Of
iron from a railroad company and, while
one was discharged, the eldest was sent
to the county Jail for thirty days. The
arrest and trial OF these youngsters called
the attention OF the ~oflcials of the city to
the necessity for an ordinance governing
Junk dealers. Councilman Martin secured
the passage of a motion by the council
Tuesday night for the preparation Of an
ordinance by the city attorney for the gov
ernment Of junk dealers. The idea is to
have all dealers in junk make regular re-
ports to the chief of police as to purl
chases and also give the names Of the per-
sons selling junk. 1t has been suggested
that the ordinance governing junk dealers
now in force in Omaha be copied as far as
possible.
'If this is done,' said Councilman Mar
tin, there will be less stealing Of scrap
iron from the railroad yards and the po-
lice will then have control over all junk
dealers doing business in the city. AS 1t Is
now a junk dealer can locate a pile OF scrap
iron along q railroad track and then for a
few pennies hire small boys to carry the
stun to his place Of business. In the case
in police court the other day / am firmly
convinced that the junk dealer was more
to blame than the boys who carried the
iron to the junk shop. II was the dealer
who should have been punished instead Of
the boys, and / think an ordinance like the
one intended will be a good thing for the
city"
1t is understood now that all difficulty
about the purchase Of a site for the library
has been settled. The city attorney has
commended all along that the library board
and not the council should purchase the
site. The members Of the council have
finally admitted this, after having been
shown the law on the subject. For this
reason the bids sent to the council will be
returned and when the board organizes it
will advertise for a site.
While the intention OF the city is to issue
bonds for the purchase Of a suitable tract
OF land for the proposed library no ordi-
nance has yet been drawn. City Attorney
Lambert holds that bids should first be re-
ceived and the site secured by option. Then
the exact amount of the bonds to be voted
can be definitely stated in the ordinance
ana the issue made according to legal re-
Quirements.
New Appointments Required.

Of nine members Of the Library board made
