Commissioners to Make Purchase I'm
der Other Arrangement.

The Commissioners have decided to reject
all bids for sites for the two new public
school buildings to be located in the first
and sixth divisions-Mount Pleasant and
Northeast Washington respectively-and to
purchase the sites under some other ar
rar cement than competitive bids. The rea-
son for this action, it is stated, is because
the bids recentlsaereceived were all con-
sidered as too high.
The sites offered to the District were In
srected by Commissioners mcfarland and
Biedle and, Building Inspector Snowden
Ashford. The conclusions reached by these
officials were that the owners of the sites
offered waited toe much for their property.
1t is stated that the District will proba-
bly, enter into negotiations with real estate
dealers or private; owners of property and
erdeavor to obtain the school sites at
more reasonable figure. 1t Is thought that

MINERS CONVENTION.
Annual Mine Workers Meeting Held
 in Indianapolis.

Indianapolis Ind. Jan. 16-Dele gates are arriving from Illinois, Iowa Indiana. Kentucky. Pennsylvania Ohio Michigan and other states for the fifteenth annual convention of the United Mine Workers of America Tomlison hall has been put in readi- ness for the gathering which will be called to order by President John Mitchel 't 10 o'clock Monday morning
 The convention, this year. carries with it more significance than any convention of the miners in the last five years, not excepting even the as. sembly that was followed by the dec. laration of the great anthracite strike. If the reports circulating among the delegates already on the field are to be believed. the convention and es. pecially the joint conference between operators and miners that will follow it's adjournment, will witness an i'm portant struggle.
 Upon the deliberations of the joint conference depends the wage scale for the present year. It is now as- serted that the miner will carry to this joint conference demand for a 10 per cent increase. together with a demand ror several important conces- sions that will have a far reaching ef- feet throughout the bitumonous field. At the same time. it is reasonably cer- tain that the operators will carry to the joint conference a demand for a 20 per cent reduction, in the. wage scale now prevailing. -..--.
