BIG COAL STRIKE LIKELY
Miners and Operators Clash at In
dianapolis Conference.
REAL DEMANDS OF THE MEN

Were Presented In Resolution by Pres
ident Mitchell-Operators Are Firm
and Say It Must Be a Reduction Or
Strike.
Indianapolis Ind, March ?. - When
the conference Of miners and operators
of the central competitive district
opened. ". b. Bassett. an Ohio dele
gate. moved that the scale now in Ell
feet be re-adopted. This was seconded
and put TO a vote. The operators voted
no and the miners yes.
President John Mitchell presented a
series of resolutions, which" he said
represent the real wishes and demands
Of the miners"
The first OF these demands that the
run OF mine basis be adopted, the scale
paid to De equivalent Of the present
pick mined screened coal scale.
The second resolution declares that
the Ohio and Western Pennsylvania
operators now operating with machin-
cry are enjoying an unfair advantage
over hand mining. in consequence OF
which the miners demand a seven cent
differential.
The third resolution demands that
a uniform wage be provided for differ
ent classes Of outside labor, including
the mechanical trades.
The fourth resolution demands that
brushers in long wall mines be ad-
vanced to $3.50 day to equalize the
wages.
The fifth resolution demands that
trouble in the districts be settled in the
district
FL. Robbins made the following de-
inand for the operators:
That the condition of the times and
the necessity Of meeting competition
and present conditions require a reduc-
ton Of 10 per cent. from the present
scale of wages.
President Mitchell spoke for the min
ers. arguing for the resolutions as pre-
scented. Mr. Robbins replied, and dur
ing his argument said:
we have been criticised for dealing
with labor as a unit, but we have con
tnued in the hope that you men would
act the part of decent, honorable men
and. as was done by miners in Eng
land. accept your share Of adverse con-
ditions. Present conditions demand
reduction in wages. We ask you &c
arbitrate as to what your share OF The
reduction in the price Of coal shall be
/ tell you now that and the companies
represent will never sign a scale ex-
cept II be a reduction in wages
President Mitchell replied to Mr.
Robbins. confning his remarks to q
reply to the arguments for a reduction
made by Mr. Robbins He said EN-
phatically:
1T may be the parting Of the ways
as Mr.. Robbins says. but for my part
l know what 1 am going 10 do
This statement was interpreted by
the convention to mean that the de-
mands Of the miners would be adhered
TO- The remark was appiauded by the
miners. Operators Tenant and Bogel
of indianapolis. made addresses and
recess was taken.
During the recess. +. L. Robbins
leader of the operators, said: ut looks
like a strike. The operators will make
no concessions. absolutely none. 1t is
a reduction OF strike"
President Mitchell said; "On Mr.
Robbins statement before the conven-
ton it does look like a strike. ex-
pressed myself during my address, and
l shall certainly adhere to that"

od.,I For Republican Chairman.

Albany n. Y, March 2.-President
Roosevelt has summoned Governor
Odell to Washington, and the infer
ence placed on the summons by those
well informed is that the president in.
tends to ask Governor Odell to accept
the craftsmanship of the Republican
national committee. 1t is known, how
ever, that any proposition made by
the president that may in any way
affect the control of the state commits
tee by the governor will be refused.
II, however, the Craftsmanship of the
national committee ia offered to the
governor free from any conditions, so
that the control OF the state commit
tee is also in his hands, IT is believed
that Governor Odell will consent TO
take charge of the national campaign.

Hanna Memorial Association.

Cleveland, March 2.-The Marcus A
Hanna Memorial Association was in
corporated at Columbus by several
prominent citizens OF Cleveland. The
purpose of the association is to estab
fish a chair OF political science at the
Western Reserve University in mem
DRY OF the late Senator Hanna. The
incorporators will meet In few days
and choose a board of trustees, open
an office in Cleveland and begin active
work for the collection OF sufficient
funds TO endOw the proposed chair
The movement was instigated by Rev.
]. S. Rutledge and found immediate
favor. The present movement Is not
intended to supercede any other me-
mortal in stone or bronze that may
later be erected to Senator Hanna's
memory, but is supplementary to such
a proceeding.

cAsslNl coNFERs WITH HAY

Unfriendliness of American Newspa'
pers Disappointment to Russia.
Washington. March 2.-An important
conference lasting more than an hour
occurred between Secretary Hay and
Count Cassini. the Russian ambassa-
dor. The growing i'll feeling in Russia
against Americans and the continued
attacks Of certain parts Of the Ameri-
can press against Russia was the main
subject discussed.
Count Cassini also informally inquir-
ed about the report that the CONNER
cial Cable company had applied for
landing privileges at Guam for cable
from that island TO Japan. He was as
sured by Mr. Hay that this government
at present was considering no such ap-
plication. The ambassador did not
give any intimation as to what the at
titude Of his government would be In
the matter. Dispatches from st. Pc
tersburg, however have stated that the
Russian government would view
askance the granting Of such privileges
by this government during the present
war. 1t Is assumed that this govern
ment has declined for the present for
mally to consider such an application.
To a correspondent of the Associated
Press Count Cassini said that the Rus
sian people long since had learned to
regard the people of this country as
their fast friends, and that 1t had been
a bitter disappointment to them to find
American newspapers attacking the
Russian government, the Russian peo-
pie and Russian policies. He said the
first feeling of his people had been one
of painful surprise, but that this is
now crytallizing into deplorable feel
ing of unfriendliness.
1.-THE tone of Russian newspapers"
said the ambassador, "as a consequence
Of the tone Of many American newspa-
pers. is beginning to take very pain
full direction in their references to the
United States. and in my opinion it is
in the interests of both countries that
some measures shall be taken to check
this before 1t is too late.
Fortunately the relations of the two
governments continues. as always. alb
solutely friendly, and for this reason l
am hopeful that the present unfriendli-
ness on the part of the press of the two
countries will not be lasting. The
friendliness of the American and Rus
sian governments, it is my firm belief,
furnishes the basis for the restoration
and preservation OF the traditional
friendship of their two peoples, and l
hope some means may be found for the
latter to reach better understanding"

Contemporary Comment
Mischief Of the walkino DeIeoate

The mischief making element in the
building trades is the walking dele
gate. The conditions of this industry;
have led the unions to confer on their.
delegates powers more extensive than
those usually exercised hv labor repre-
sentaflyes.. The building Industry is
conducted on system of subcontract-
ing, and in dealing with contractors
the unions must act promptly. A sub
contractor may have only few days
work on Job; if he violate his agree
ment with union. the latter has no
Tune to hold a meeting and vote on the
question of striking, according to the
usual trade union method of proceed
ure. Consequently the walking dele
gates have been given the authority to
order strike summarily, on their own
Judgment and responsibility. The pre-
rogative has given the walking dele
gates in the building trades great pres
tlge, and has, furthermore, opened the
way to the bullying and b1acknnailing
tactics which the late Sam Parks prac-
tleed most notoriously. 1t is hardly too
much to say that this power of the
walking delegate to order strike is
the root of the troubles in the build
ing mduStry.-Boston Transcript.
