Pittsb,lrg, April More mines are
in operation in the Pittsburg district
today than yesterday The Pittsburg
Coal Co. reported forty-three railroads

Along the Monongahela and the You-

In the Bridgeyille district the mines

The same conditions prevail in the

No work is being done at any Of
the Independents mines.
The operators say they have been
closed indefinitely.
1t was confidently expected by the
operators who signed the scale Monday
that all the miners would be at worl;
today. Their Resistance to return is
now said to be in a measure due to the
discovery that under the agreement sign

they did last year.

promotion of fifteen civil engineers from
the rank of lieutenant, junior grade, Is
that OF lieutenant comes as 4 surprise
to the members of that corps, but ii
has not, by any means, represented the
wishes of those who desire that the
rank Of the civil engineers shall be
changed in order to make the branch
more attractive to civilian candidates.
a proposition was recently made ii,
favor of having the rank SO fixed as to
make additional numbers in the higher
grades. Under the law this can be done
by the president BY an executive order.
The recommendation made by repre-
sentatiyes of the civil engineers were
not adopted instead the president de-
cided to corfine the change to the rank
of lieutenant and lieutenant, junior
grade, SO as to have promotions with the
line officers with whom they take prec-
edence, as is hle case with officers of
the other staff corps of the navy. This
has the immediate effect of promoting
fifteen junior civil engineers, but It Is
not considered as atfording the relief
which the civil engineers have been
holding out as their. just due.
