National !. President Opposes
Strike of BituminOus Miners.

indianapolis, -Ind-,. July 17.-At the
meeting of the United Mine Workers
today President John J. Mitchell strong
~ opposed the ordering of sympathet-
ic strike and advocated in its place the
following policy:
l. That the treasurer Of the order
be directed to appropriate $50, 900 for the
relief of the anthracite miners.
e That the unions appropriate for the
same purpose as large sum as they
can afford.
8. That an assessment of 81 per week
be levied on all members of unions.
4. That all officers of the national dis
tricts drawing a salary of $50 a month
or over, contribute Is per cent IF their
salaries.
5. That an appeal be made to all trade
unions and citizens generally to aid the
cause of the miners.
g. That an address to the American peo-
pie be issued appealing to the American
people bring such pressure to bear as will
compel the operators to submit to arbi-
tration.
At the conclusion of the presidents ad-
dress. a motion was made by w. D. Ryan,
Of Illinois, that the suggestions of Mr..
Mitchell be adopted. A long and animated
discussion followed.

CHURCH IS THE LOSER.
Clergy the Winner by Result of Taft's
Negotiations.

London, July 1.-THE Times correspond

Judge Taft's negotiations with the Vat-
can says:
Speaking broadly, the result of the ne
gotiations Is a triumph for the regular
clergy at the expense Of the church and,
In view OF the composition of the cardi-
nails commission, the outcome could hardly
have been different. At present in the
government of the Roman church the reg
ular clergy pays the piper and has the
right to call the tune. The Vatican stood
subscribing to the American contract-po-
1itical1y, because the contract would have
been signed on behalf of the pope and
president, thus comforting upon the apos-
tolic delegate in Washington, who possess
ses no locus standing in regard to the
rectly with President Roosevelt, instead
of having recourse to the friendly offices
of Archbishop Ireland and financially, be-
cause the compensation paid would have

INV be.
ain one respect the Vatican has been
better than its reputation, namely in the
promptitude of it's negotiations. but in all
others 1t has shown it's inability to appre-
ciate what the American Catholics con-
slider the best interests of the Roman
church. Contract or no contract, the fri
except under an American escort and,
consequently. their reinstatement is a
practical impossbility; whereas, by con-
tracing to remove the friars, the Vatican
would have received some $10,000,000 in
gold with which to endow the Philippine
ige by appearing to protect Filipino Cath
olfcs against the unworthy monks with
whom 1t will now be the duty of the
American government to deal.

CAR men ARE HERE.
Rumor That They Want More
Wages From Santa Fe.

A large committee, representing the
Car Mems union is in Topeka to pre-
sent grievances to the Santa F'e off,
Gals, and probably to notify the COM
pany of demand for an increase in
wages. The committee is composed OF
representatives from all parts of the
Santa F'e system. The Car Mems union
is composed of the men in the Santa Fee
shops who have charge of the making
and repairing of cars.
1t is understood that the committee
will insist upon a compliance with the
demand for more wages, and in case Of
refusal will advise strike of the union.
Superintendent of Motive Power Geo.
r. Henderson is out Of the city at pres
ent, trying to settle the strike on the
Gulf lines, and the committee is await
ing his return.
Among those who compose the COM
mittee, which makes the Fifth Avenue
hotel its headquarters, are the follow
ing: From Cleburne, Texas, w. e. Wat
kins. ]. w. Byers, and J. H. Vivian
son; from Bakersfield, Cal, E E. An

NOT MUCH BUSINESS.
Time of A. O. n. Taken Up With Adj
dress by Bishop Conaty.

Denver, Col, July 1.-THE morning
session of the biennial convention of the
Ancient Order of Hibernians was taken
up principally with an address by
Bishop Thomas j. Conaty, rector OF the
Catholic university at Washington. His
remarks were devoted mainly to
statement concerning the growth and
work of the university. The matter OF
the deposing of Father Henebry from
the chair of Gaelic literature was not
referred to by the bishop.
Practically the only business tram
sacted was the adoption of the report
of the committee on rules and order
of business, which is similar to that
adopted at the last biennial at Boston.
The reports Of President Heating and
other officers, which were to have been
presented this morning, were not offer
ed. It is probable that they will be sent
in this afternoon.
At the morning session of the wo-
mans auxiliary, the question of form
ing an independent organization distinct
from the A. o. H. was discussed. The
prevailing sentiment was that a COM
promise should be effected that would
give the women an advisory board to
work in conjunction with the national
directors of the A. o. H. Bishop Conaty
addressed the women also, urging them
to found a chair in Trinity college, one
of the institutions connected with the
Catholic university.

What Kansas People Paid Insurance
Companies Last Year.

The Fire Insurance companies seem to
have done a fairly good business in KAN
sas last year according to the statements
of Insurance Church. They received in
premiums 1924. 03s50, and they had to
pay back in losses only 81, ESQ, SOL 10, or
only a little more than half of what they
received.
The records Of the insurance depart
ment since statistics have been kept
thirty-one years ago show that the INCUR
