The SITUATION SUMMED UP
What Miners Demand and What Oper-
ators Are Willing to Grant-A Long
and Hard Struggle Seems Likely IS
Matters Are Now Viewed.

DIES MONIES, lathe Iowa miners
and operators failed to agree, and 10,
800 miners are on a strike.
Every mine in Iowa is closed.
The conference adjourned a session
covering a period of six weeks.
Summed up the situation is this:
First-The miners demand a reduc-
ton in the price of blasting powder
from 81 to $1.75 per can. They de-
mand a uniform advance in the scale
OF wages paid top men and that driv-
ers in districts Nos. l and 4 shall re-
ceive the same scale as in districts
Nos. 2 and 3.
Second-The operators claim that
they are standing by the Indianapolis
agreement and n SO doing cannot sub
nit to general increases in the wages
paid unskilled labor throughout the
district. There is no dissatisfaction
with the scale paid skilled workmen
in any district.

of America, asking him to come to
Des Moines and aid in a readjustment
of differ ences. Mr.. Mitchell has agreed
to go to Colorado to assist in the labor
trouble there and it is not unlikely he
may stop at Des Moines.
President White of the Iowa miners
said:
The miners have made every at
tempt to arbitrate and were unable to
reach an agreement. There is nothing
else o to do but to fight it out to
the end. l shall never sanction an
agreement under the present condi-
Leading operators say the position
OF the miners is untenable and thai
they cannot reach them so long as
they cling to their present position.
1t is believed the lockout may be the
beginning of a long and hard struggle.
The strike and lockout will include |
mines in Appanoose, Mahaska, Keokuk.

RIOTS ARE FEARED.
Russia is Taking Every Precaution to
Avoid Trouble Easter Week.


ST. PETERSBURG. - Reports re
ceived by the ministry of the interior
indicate that the precautionary meas
ures taken to prevent anti-Jewish dis
turbances during Easter week, when
the ignorant are easily aroused to a
sort of religious frenzy against the
Jews by the dissemination OF false
stories regarding blood atonement,
will result in the avoidance OF trouDle.
In spite of the precautions it is fear
ed there may be riotinggs, but the
authorities may be relied upon to sup
press these with a strong hand. The
following telegram was received today
from Odessa:
Reports of a~nti-Jewish disturb
ances, which are always common at
Easter time, cause more uneasiness
this year than usual because OF oc-
c%urrences of last year. The authori-
ties have confidence in Governor Ed
hardt, who is in charge of the city
and who is an energetic and humane
man, as well as in Baron Kaulbers,
commander of the troops in southern
Russia. Under the circumstances any
serious disturbances are considered
impossible.
The newspapers have printed warn
and the city is ~placarded with
warnings that all who disturb the
peace will be severely punished.
