The Miners Are Losers.

Considered as whole, the new
scale is something Of loss for the
miners, judged from their stand before
the joint conference. This, however,
cannot reflect upon the ability nor the
zeal of their officers, for conditions are
such that the operators cannot be ex-
pected to take the initiative and pay
larger wages than the settlements in
other states would indicate for this.
The coal market throughout the coal
belt governs the conditions in Iowa,
and as the other states settled first,
Iowa must make a scale in accordance.

Lonq FIGHT Ended.

The long fight which commenced on
March s, was practically brought to a
close at midnight Saturday when the
joint scale committee Of thirteen min
ers and thirteen operators decided in
favor of adopting the report of the
sub-scale committee and refer, the new
ly prepared scale to the joint confer
ence for ratification. The point on
which the members of the scale COM
mittee were not able to agree, as stat
ed in Saturdays Courier, was the re
sponsibility for falls which should oc-
cur because miners room is made
too wide. After several hours discus
sion on this matter and the few other
minor ones that held the scale COM
mittee in session until midnight, the
miners finally decided to yield the
point in order to preserve peace, and
the scale was ready for the joint con-
ference.
This morning the conference met at
the Odd Fellows hall ats o'clock and
the scale as prepared by the commit
tee was read and explained to the
members of both sides. of the house.
With but little formality vote was
taken ard the result was ratification
by both miners and operators of the
new agreement. The officials of both
organizations affixed their signatures
to the document, which will govern
mining conditions in district 13 until
April i, 1906.

Savannah has long needed an athletic
field, and the announcement that ne
gotiations are now pending which will

light.
Since the Avondale rife range was
abandoned, efforts have been made to

ideal athletic park. The Savannah Elec-
trio Company, has an option on the
property, and is now negotiating with
President Boyer, of the Savannah
Baseball Club for the esta blishment Of
a ball park there, and with the Sa-
vannah Athletic Association TO have
all athletic meets held there.
The proposition of the street car
company is TO cut road from the
Thunderbolt road 10 the entrance to
the proposed park, erect fences anu
grand stands in consideration of GER
tain terms which have not been an
nounced.

Iares Will be charged. and every need
