W0RKMEN INSIST ON HIGHER WAGES

indianapolis, Feb 2.-The joint
scale committee Of the Central COM
petitive district, consisting OF Western
PENNSYLVANIA, Illinois, Ohio and Indl-
ana, came to a final disagreement
after being in session two hours and
later reported the disagreement to the
joint conference.
Before the committee adjourned the
operators submitted a final PROPOSE
ton, which was to continue the pres
ent scale with it's present conditions.
The Illinois operators insisted upon
an additional clause placing on the
miners the additional cost OF mining
coal caused by shotfrers' bills and
other legislation. The miners, voting
by states, rejected the proposition
unanimously and stood united against
any proposition that does not give an
increase in wages.
A proposition to have the joint con-
ference appoint a sub-scale committee
is being considered, but neither side
has much faith in such committee
being able to accomplish anything.
The operators of the Southwest dis
trict in caucus agreed to submit the
matter of new wage agreement to
arbitration, the arbitrators to consist
of one member Of the supreme court
of each of the states Of Missouri, Kan
sas, Arkansas, Texas and the Indian
Territory. This proposition was sub
mitted to a joint conference of the
miners and operators Of the district,
nut final action was nostnOned

Tuskegee's Twenty fifth Anniversary.

Tuskegee's Twenty fifth Anniversary.
The recent celebration Of the twenty
dfth anniversary of the founding of
Tlskegee institute of Alabama was
made the occasion Of an appeal for
large endowment by number of noted
speakers at Carnegie hall, New York.
Among them were Mark Twain, Joseph
lei. Choate, Robert G. Ogden and Mr..
Washington himself. The plan Is to
raise the endowment from its present
S1.225.OO0 to $3.OOO,OOO. Mr. Waahing-
ton asserted that there are now only
do per cent of the 100000 negroes in
America illiterate as compared with
70 per cent in Russia He said that
not one of the 5000 graduates from
Tuskegee could be found in jail. Mr..
Clemens made highly humorous and
satirical address based on the assump-
ton that at Tuskegee it is taught that
the Christian code of morals is the
basis of our nations greatness, strength
and repute among the other nations
and the foundation Of American char
acter What remained to be taught,
however, was the fact that there are
two separate and distinct kinds Of
Christian morals, one being Christian
private morals and the other Christian
public morals. During 1853 days in the
year the American citizen kept unde-
filed the nations character at it's best
and highest, but on the other two days
he left his Christian private morals at
home and carried his Christian public
morals to the tax office and the polls
his whole years faithful and righteous
work.

@Riqht Rather Than Rich"

In the speech delivered by Governor
Folk of Missouri before the 500 mem
bers of the Boston Merchants associa-'
tion there occurred a number Of point
cd epigrams which have been widely
copied and discussed. One was that
the people Of the country are really be-
ginning to try ''to get right rather than
to get rich" Another was that "polit-
icaI parties are beginning to learn that
honesty is, after all, the best politics"
He said that the people have learned
that a CRATER Is a CRATER still whether
he calls himself a Democrat or a Re-
publican; that it is more difficult to get
good laws enforced than it is to enact
them. and that ''every law looks blue
to the man who wants to break it."
