Several conferences between Leading
state. national and mining officials have
been held, but they show no practical
results. Money continues TO come IN
from rious sources. to aid the sunk
ing miners. The re-openlng OF col
lieries and washeres and the gam
made in coal production has emblt-
tered the temper Of the strikers and at.
tacks on miners and the dynamiting OF
bridges has resulted. Troops have
been called out in the Schuylklll re
zion. The brotherhood of trainmen
are considering the question of refus
ing to haul coal from mines where non
union men are employed. 1t is charged
that the coal trust is prolonglng the

absurdity of the claim of the operators
that the question of whether they mine
coal or not is their own private bust

it public business is shown by the draft
of bill submitted to Senator Quay by

The annual meeting OF the board
Of county commissioners, which will
be held Jan. I, a week from next
Tuesday, will be much different from
the meetings in tile past, owing To
the changes that the last legislature
maze in the government of St. Louis
county.
There will be several less positions
for the board to fill, owing TO the law
creating the poor commission and
giving it the care Of the positions
pertaining 10 the care of the poor.
There will also be two more commits
sioners to do the work, owing to the
law redistricting ST. Louis county
and giving it additional comhis-
SiDnerS.
The only offices the county board
will fill this year will be superintend-
ent of roads and Waterman, janitor
aud engineer Of the court house and
Jail. The offices of county physician,
clerk of the poor boar and Overseer
Of the poor are now filled by the poor
