IOWA MINE WAGE SCALE
FIXED; WORK IN SIGHT

ever, the miners accepted a new pen
atty resolution to- meet the contention
of the operators that miners when
working under a mine run instead of
screened coal arrangement, load more
dirt and refuse. This resolution pro-
vides that for the first offense the min
er may be fined so cents, for the Sec
ond offense 81, and for the third Of
Tense, may be fined 50 and discharged,
at the option of the operator. The
fines are to be paid to the miners Or
ganization for the benefit of the death
benefit fund, new fund from which
500 is to be paid to the family of de-
ceased miners.
The question of the top wage then
came up. The minimum has been
$3.50 since 1903, no reduction having
been made in 1904, when the first BIZ
ennial scale was made, The miners as
a compromise waived the claim to a
5.55 advance, and consented to flat
advance of 10 cents per day, which
makes the minimum for the entire
state s1.90. Under their contention ii
would have been $1.90k.
Advance Is Granted.
The disposal of the top labor cues.
ton does away with the last price con.
tention as to other districts. This ad.
vance on top labor will apply to all
other districts, and an advance of
5.S4 will be granted to all inside la.
borers, such as oilers, drivers, trap.
pers, ETC., and on the prices for room
turning and entry work.
The price for mining in the second
district, comprising Marion, Monroe
Wapello, Mahaska, and adjoining fields
will be IS instead of 80 cents ton.
In the third district, comprising
Polk and Jasper counties, the price
will be $1.00 instead of IS cents ton
In the fourth district, comprising
Boone and Webster counties, the
price will be $1.10 instead of $1.O5
with proportionate advances in some
of the mines in the Webster field
where differential has been in exist
ence because of local conditions.
The concession as to penalties made
in the Putnam county field is taken as
an indication that the miners will &C
cede to the demands of the operators
for a resolution guaranteeing them
against shut downs and suspensions
The concession made with reference
to the price for top labor yesterda.
was the first indication to come from
the miners side of the house Showing
that they have authority to depar
from demand for a fiat increase OF
all prices equivalent to the reductio,
taken in 1904.
| After adjournment last evening
miners and operators were of thu
opinion that the crisis has beer
passed and that complete scale will
probably be made and signed up b.
| Wednesday.
In this event it is likely that man.
of the local mines will resume Apri
%, while in all probability the bi:
railroad mines, with but few exceI
tons, will put on only partial crew
at that ..me to carry on improvement
and repair work, and will not resum
on full time until May 1.

NO IDEA OF
COMPROMISE
DoWiE WILL NOT GIVE. IN ONE
IoTA, DECLARES HIS
ATTORNEY

Chicago, April 14.-Attorney Wet
ten, for John Alexander Dowie, today
issued a statement to the effect that
the report that a compromise of the
Zion City troubles would be reached
on the basis Of payment of five per
cent of the gross assets of Zion City to
Dowie, is untrue. Wetten declared
that no such proposition had been
made to Dowie and that he would not
have accepted if made. Wetten said
the negotiations for settlement out
side the courts are still in progress and
that he has strong hopes of their ulti-
mate success.
Deputy Sheriff Wins Out.
Today the writ in a civil suit, which
a deputy sheriff vainly attempted to
serve upon Dowie when he arrived in
the city, was read to him in his rooms
at the Auditorium by Deputy Sheriff
Wilson. A large coloreds man who
serves as personal guard for Dowie
told Wilson to leave the room and
when he moved toward Wilson with
the evident intention of putting him
out, Wilson drew his revolver.

CONDITIONS YET
TO BE SETTLED
Operators concede Increases in the
Wages Ct Miners and Day Laborers,
But Will Insist on Strict Observance
Of Agreement by Men Employed in
the Future.

Des Moines, April 14:-In SO far as
cerned, the scale to govern the mining
of coal in Iowa for the two years dat
ing from April l. 1906, has been COM
pleted by the joint scale committee of
miners and operators. All advances
on prices were agreed to yes
terday afternoon by the opera
tors. The figuring Of percent
ages for the other districts will be
completed Monday and the question of
resolutions will be taken up Tuesday
morning. There is little reason to
doubt now but what scale will be
signed next week and that all mines
will resume May /.
There are but three contests yet to
be disposed Of
The Operators Demands.
The first and principal one will be
an amendment to resolution 10, which
now provides a fine of rs cents a day
to be paid into the union to be taxed
to every miner participating in shut
down for local reasons. 1t will be
asked by the operators that this be in
creased and diverted from the miners
to the operators organization. SO that
operators may be Unidentified for loss
Of business resulting from the suspen-
sions.
The second will be new resolu-
ton guaranteeing to the Iowa opera
tors during the two'y years a proportion
ate advantage because of a scale that
may be negotiated in the Illinois, Mis-
souri, or Kansas fields at a lesser rate
than 5.S4 per cent increase over the
1904 scale.
Tho third will be new requirements

en- up and disposed of, The operators
conceded the miners the advance from
the compromise price of SO cents pei
ton made after the 1904 scale had beer
ratified instead of from the figures ap

two years will be 81 cents instead o.

THROUGH Belt of Ashes.

Through Belt Of Ashes.
The Associated Press correspondent
travelled yesterday in the belt over
which ashes continue to fall. This |
lies to the north of Naples, as the
wind now carries the discharge away
from the city. At Rome there was
sunshine, but twenty miles south a
thin veil of smoke made nearby noun
tains dimly visible, their snow peaks
soiled and sooty.
The zone of semi-obscurity began
twenty-five miles above Naples. Here
there was an uncanny phenomenon.
The sun, though shining, was invisi-
BILE. Its light seemed to come through
smoked glass, shedding a sickly glare
upon whitened vegetation. Everything
was covered with powder. The loco
motives were coated as though they
had ploughed through tar. Pretty
white villas were daubed and drip
ping with mud, and people were busy
on the roofs shoveling off the ashes.
The crowds at the stations resemhled
nillers, their clothing covered with
graphite powder. The Campagna pre-
sents the appearance of a Dakota
prairie after blizzard except that
everything is gray instead of white.
The ashes lie In drifts knee deep. Viii
las, trees and churches have been
beaten with gray mud on the sides ex'
posed to the volcanic storm.
Ten miles north Of Naples the train
enters an area Of semi,night. Billows
of thick smoke roll from the direction
of the mountain, The railway tele.
graph poles become invisible twenty
feet away. The train moves with ex-
treme precaution to avoid collision.
Breathing is difficult and the smoke
makes the eyes water. This obscurity
lasts until within short distance of
Naples, where the sky clears and nor
NAL conditions are resumed.
After the last great eruption, which
occurred in 1872, the land covered by
cinders did not produce crops for sew
en- years, and the losses In this respect
alone averaged $20,000,000 yearly. It
is believed that it will take ten years
to bring the land under cultivation
again.
The people, as a demonstration Of
their gratitude for the sympathy
which led to the French squadron be-
ing sent here, enthusiastically greeted
the French soldiers when they landed.
The duke of Abruzzi arrived yester-
day in his motor car. He had passed
through the ash belt and was hardly
recognizable, being covered with ashes
and cinders. He will soon start on his
projected tour Of exploration in South
Africa.

ev DIRECT VOTE OF PEOPLE.

The sentiment in favor Of the cleo
ton of senator's by the direct vote Of
the people seems to be growing apace.
The Ohio legislature is about to pass
resolution requesting two thirds of the
states to join in a call for constitu-
sfonal convention to amend the United
States constitution so as to require the
election of senators by a direct vote.
The proposition will meet with high
favor, especially in the west where
such a sentiment has. been entertained
for some time. The democrats in Ida
no have already taken the initiative Of
nominating at the state convention, and
at least one republican candidate has
expressed his intention Of resting his
case in the hands Of the people.
Governor Chamberlain Of Oregon has
voiced the sentiment Of the state on the
question by saying that all parties
stand for the voice Of the people"
The bribery and corruption Of legis-
futures and the menace of senators that
represent special interests instead Of
the welfare Of the whole people, has
lead to the movement that promises to
lead to a constitutional amendment to
correct these abuses

Want to Bridge the Clearwater
Kamiah Progress.

A general movement is being started
with the object in view of securing a
bridge across the Clearwater river at
Kamiah. All the people of this place
Harrisburg Woodland. Kidder and
C;lenvood are deeply interested and 1t
Is now felt that with the cooperation
Of all there will be no difficulty in get
ting sufficient funds to Duild bridge
that will stand any stage of high
water One of the greatest drawbacks
heretofore encountered was that the
river Is held to be navigable by the
government and therefore it would be
necessary to put in a draw bridge and
the cost of such a one would be too
great to be considered Assurances are
now given that this can be overcome
and that permit can be gotten from
the authorities for the construction of
a bridge without a draw.
1t Is learned from a reliable source
that while the government recognizes
the fact that the river will probably
never be used for navigation. it is
their policy to hold 1t open as men,
ace to the railroads in fixing their
rates. The head of navigation Is only
n short distance above kamiah and a
bridge near Kipp's ferry will not in
terfere with river service should II ever
he i'm stalled. The advantages of a
bridge at this point is so apparent that
no extended argument in its favor Is
necessary. 1t would be the means OF
saving many hundreds Of dollars an
nually to the people of the districts
concerned and they could come and &c
at any hour of the day or night and not
be held up by long waits at ferry
