OFFER REJECTED.
Miners Refuse to Accept Wage Cut of
Five and One-Half Per Cent.-To
Vote on Question of Strike.

Indianapolis, Ind, March THE
second joint conference of coal opera
tors and miners adjourned sine die
Saturday without reaching an agree
ment, the latter delegates voting to
reject the offer of two years wage
scale equivalent to q reduction of 5j2
per cent. President Mitchell says the
action means strike, which will affect
1926, 900 union men. In view of the fact
that all the leaders of the mineworkers
advised the acceptance of the opera
tors proposition, it is thought the way
may be paved for truce and resump-
ton of negotiations looking TO set
Element of the dispute. The proposition
to strike will be referred to a referen-
dunn vote of the miners of the four
states forming the competitive district.
This action may be ordered by the
miners in convention this morning. If
the locals vote against the proposition
operators say strike is inevitable.
Opinion among the miners is divided.

FIRE COSTS THREE LIVES
CHURCH IN LONG ISLAND CITY
rs DESTROYED.
A Priest and Two Female Servants
Perish in the Flames-Two
Other Clergymen Injured.

New York, March 7.-One priest and
two servants were killed and two other
priests were severely injured at fire
which destroyed ST. Patrick's Roman
Catholic church and the adjoining rec
tory in Long Island City Saturday.
Those killed were Rev. Father Ernest
and Mary and Margaret Brady, domes-
tics. Those injured are Rev. Joseph
Kearney, abrasions of face, hands and
left hip, and Rev. Father hennigan,
shock and Commissions. The money loss
by the fire was estimated at $4,000.
The cause is not known.
Father Ernest is believed to have lost
his life while trying to save the two
women.
The rectory was a three-story brick
building with an attic. The two wom-
en- slept in the attic and the priests had
apartments on the second and third
floors. The fire, which started in the
passageway connecting the church and
the rectory, spread to both structures
with great rapidity, and by the time
the fremen reached the scene the
whole rectory was ablaZe.
Father Kearney made his way down
stairs through the binding smoke and
escaped into the street. He is injured
about the face and hands, having been
cut and bruised while cropping his way
through the smoke. Father Hennegan,

Its similarity to grass which "groweth

while his career is summed up in the
