NAY FINISH SOON
Joint Scale Committee May Agree
This Week.
MUCH TO Be DONE IN NEXT FEW DAYS
The General Resolutions Affecting the
Whole of District 10 Will Be Con.
sidered and Unfinished Business
viii Also Be Before the Committee.

Inc Joint scale committee, compos-
ed OF representative miners and oper-
ators. which has been in session at
Des Molnes since last Tuesday. hopes
20 finish its work and arrive at an
agreement which will be ratified by
the Joint convention by the end Of the
present week. There are possibilities.
however. which a DEFER a settlement
for all time. but both miners and oper-
ors are hoping that a way will be
found to surmount these obstacles and
form an agreement which will be sat
lsfactory to all concerned.
This week the third and fourth sub
districts, with some parts of the first
n second. must be settled, and in adj
dition to this. the general resolutions
applying to all OF district No. 13 will
be the subjects OF much discussion
and argument. These resolutions are
row twenty in number. and it is prob
aDle that at least n will be added,
pertaining to shot firers. and another
will be heightened SO as to make some
kind OF provision for protection for the
company by the miners against too
much ineXcusable absence of employ
es from work.
The Shot Firer Question.
The shot firer question, which has
been already the cause for several
warm set-tos since the joint conven-
ton began. will be discussed at length
this week in the scale committee. This
matter is n on which the miners re-
fuse to yield an inch. They admit,
practically, that they have been awed
and scared by the Lost Greek disaster.
Men among the miners who have
secuted the idea OF shot firers in the
past have become converts and some
OF the principal members of the dis
trict union have said in joint conven-
ton and elsewhere during the past
week that they will never again fire a
shot in a mine except as shot firer.
Among these is John P" Reese,the dis
trict president. Mr. eesehas been oneof
the miners who has maintained that
shot frers were unnecessary, but since
the Lost Creek explosion and the in
Y~estigation ne made as one member
of the commission to look into this
catastrophe, Mr.. Reese says that he
would never fire a shot in a mine I'M
less 1T was his own and no one else in
the mine was to fire at the same time.
The miners are sincere when they say
that there will be trouble in Iowa if
the operators do not agree to furnish
shot firers at all the mines in the
shooting districts.
The operators do not object to the
expense connected with shot firers, but
they do object, and s~trenuously too, to
assuming the responsibility of the
lives OF the shot firers. These men
will, of course, have the most hazard
Gus positions in the mines since thew
will be the only ones in the works
when the shots are fired. The miners
realize that this is thepeason the oper-
ators are holding back, but they hope
to be able to come to an agreement
which will absolve the operators from
blame and will make the shot firer

HAS ARM sLAsHED.
Arthur Henderson Hurt in Exhibition
Given With Knife by Companion.

From Mondays Daily.
Arthur Henderson, a colored .bell-boy
at the Ballingall hotel, had his arm
slashed badly Saturday evening with a
knife, in the hands of a companion
whom he claims Was. simply giving an
exhibition of his, ability to swing a
knife through tile air. in one of these
swings Henderson came a little too
near the blade which caught him near
the right elbow and cut a cash the en-
tire length of his forearm and on his
hand the length of the thumb. Hen.
derson Immediately went to the Office
of DR.. A. w. Slsught where the wound
was dressed. The wound was not We.
ry serious and with the exception of
one or two places the blade had only
penetrated the skin yet it was found
necessary to take about twenty stitch.

himself shoulder the responsibility

himself shoulder the responsibility
when he takes the position.
These points OF danger being point
ed out, it would seem that it would be
hard to get competent men to take the
positions as shot firers, even at good
salaries. However, the miners say
that there will be lone of this trouble
when the plan is reduced to such a
phase as will prevent some unruly
miners from threatening the shot fir
ers as it is claimed they do at present.
Other Grievances.
There are other grievances to be
cited by both sides when the resolu-
lions for the whole of the district are
being considered: changes will have
to be made for the accommodation of
both miners and operators. Both
sides are willing to do all that is just,
and it is the sincere wish of all that
an equitable and satisfactory agree
ment be reached in a comparatively
short time.
b.Committees Work.
The subcommittee to which were
given tasks for Saturday afternoon,
Sunday and this morning, will doubt
less make their reports by tomorrow
afternoon, and this will probably set
tie the questions with regard to the
dead and deficient work in the first
sub-district, top labor scale in the sec
ond. yardage in all and other local
matters that are hard to settle in the
big scale committee. 1t is hoped that
by Wednesday the committee can be-
gin work on the district resolutions.
Something Accomplished.
In sub-district No. 3 some prices
We're settled upon Saturday, much the
same as last year. Trouble was in
sight for a short time Saturday morn
ing when the operators asked that
Jasper county be changed from the
third sub-district to the second. This
the miners fatty refused, and Presi.
dent Reese said that the only way to
get this change was for the operators
to win a strike which would inevitably
follow any attempt to make the trans,
fer. The demand was then withdrawn
by the operators, on condition that the
miners should agree to the mining
prices and yardage prices the same as
in last years scale. This was done
with one exception. Last year the op,
orators were allowed a twelve foot
neck in room turning in the third sub.
district, but the new scale will provide
for a nine foot neck. and when the
neck is required to be cut more than
three feet on n side So additional
shall be paid the miner. Double shift.
ing in Don twenty-five cents per
yard extra. Other mining prices were
agreed upon the same as last year.
The Day Wage Scale.
The miners are still fighting for a
uniform day wage scale. which means
a raise in the first and fourth sub-dis.
tricts. In addition to this they ask a
settlement on the price for mine run
on the C. B. & X. c. r. r. track. This
is the only point of consequence where
the operators have asked a decrease
this year, and only one man is stand.
ing out in this, B. H. Johnson, of Men
dota, Mo. Mr.. Johnson was unable to
carry his point last year and it is
thought that the same will be the case
this year as it is possible that he will
be deserted by the operators and thus
forced to settle.
