Strike imminent.


New York, March ia strike OF
anthracite miners is inevitable and one
in the soft coal fields is probable unless
President Theodore Roosevelt takes con-
troll of the situation and makes an efiec-
tive intervention with the ways and
means at his command. The possibility
Of the anthracite operators and miners
reaching an agreement at JOINT CONFER
ence after the indianapolis convention
is regarded as practically nil, in view oil
the absolute refusal OF the demands oil
the miners by The operators and the
strong stand taken by the miners Tor
bettering their condition. Neither side
seems prepared u concede an men.
That President Roosevelt purposes a
material stroke 1T the psychological
moment is indicated by the presence OF
DR.. Charles p. Neil, U ) Commls-
sioner of Labor, at conference with John
Mitchell, President of the Miners Union,
Yesterday, in Philadelphia. They were
in conference for over two hours, ana,
while neither would discuss the subject
OF their meeting, both admitted that the
situation was extremely serious. Mitchell
LEFT on an afternoon train for Indiana
polls, and DR.. Neil returned to Washing
ton. later. =,
Washington, March l2.-It was stated
with authority at the White House today
that President Roosevelt is taking no
part in the negotiations between the CON
tending powers in the coal fields: The
conference that was held between Presl-
dent Mitchell, of the miners, and Prot
Charles P. Neil, United States Commits
sioner of Labor, was no. arranged by the
President and in meeting with MI.
Mitchell, Prof. Neill acted solely upon
his own initiative.

Demands Rejected.

The pro- osiiions of the United Mine
workers of America for an readjustment
of wages and conditions in the anthra-
cite coal fields, as a whole, have been
denied by the committee representing
the anthracite operators As counter
proposition, the operators suggest that
the awards made by the Anthracite
Strike Commission, the principles upon
which they were established by the COM
mission, and the methods established
for carrying out their findings aud
awards shall he c. ntinued for a furib-
er term of thr e years from the first
day of April, 1906 The present agree
ment terminates March 81 of this year.
The operators declare that no occasion
has arisen to change the status as ar
ranged by the strike commission and
that an increased pay canno; be given
without increasing prize OF coal, which
would not be to the advantage Of either
operators or miners.

The Cameron Club.

Prof. Wiley, of the Agricultural De-
partment, Saturday night e1pounded his
views on food aduieratiOn before good
sized audience 10 Confederate Veterans
bpll The lecture was under the auspices
al ;he Cameron Club. DR.. Llewellyn
Powell of this city introduced the speaker.
DIR Wiley said the matters which he would
bring to the attention OF his audience
were those which pertained directly to
the home and domestic circle. In his
opinion the greatest fault OF food adult
teration is its fraudulent character, and
not its injury to health. The fight he had
made against oleomsrgarine, he said, had
not been made against its sale as such,
but against its fraudulen. sale as butter.
A preseryatiye to be of any value as
such. he said, must be strong enough to
kill all the bacteria in food, and in all
his experiments with preserved food conduct,
ed at the Agriculture Department ne haa
found that such preseryatiyes were aetri-
mental to health. He quoted an eminent Lon
don physici9n as saying that when the system
becomes so saturated with certain OF the aci
commonly used as preservatlyes ana also as
curative agents by the medical profession
their employment in the latter form would
be without effect and hence valuable medl'
zines would thus virtually be robbed OF their
power. Such ordinary and necessary condi.
nebts as salt in combination with the cold
storage are all that is necessary, he said, for
the preservation OF food as long as II ought 10
be kept, and as no general famine IS threaten
ing the country the storing up OF food Tor
years and wears is detrimental to the pubic
health and should not be allowed. lie also
discussed the subject of pure milk supply ana
spoke of the high mortality rate among III,
fants as the result of impure milk. rlgid
system Of State inspectors of the country dalr'
les was in his opinion the bet cure Tor thls
evil. In conclusion he took up the patent
medicine question and said the advertisements
OF the patent medicine men were especially
harmful. as they described SYMPTOMS when
were normal to every healthy individual as
the signs of the most malignant diseases. Al
though some of these medicines, he said, were
useful, the aity should be protected by the
published formula on every package exposed
for sale. =,
He was followed by DIR. Llewellyn Powell,
who read paper on observations made III New
York as to the effects of impure milk upon
infants.
