AGREEMENT IMPOSSIBLE IN THE
MINING DIFFICULTY.
NEITHER SIDE WILLiBUDGE
Unions and Operators Stand Solidly
Opposed, the Miners for Advance
of Wages and the Employers for
Same Scale as Prevailed in
1905.

Indianapolis. March 2S.-The joint
scale committee of the bituminous
coal operators of Illinois, Indiana,
Ohio and western Pennsylvania yes,
terday adjourned to meet today.
Discussions and arguments pre-
Sented during the afternoon on both
sides showed no change whatever in
the situation and established the fact
that so far as indications can deter
mine they are no nearer an agree
ment than they were in January,
when the first conference was held
The present wage scale will expire
Saturday ana unless an agreement is
reached before its expiration 225,000
miners in the four states will be
called out.
President Mitchell opened the dis.
cussion in the Joint conference after
there had been silence for ten min
utes, during which each side was
waiting for the other to make the
first move. He said:
at was my expectation when we
convened here this afternoon that
some proposition looking to an ad
justment of our differences would be
submitted by the operators 1t is
evident that they have not agreed
among themselves to submit for the
consideration of this convention any
proposition looking to settlement or
adjustment of our relations. Every
one here who has heard the report
read by the secretary of the Joint
scale committee will know that the
miners, parties to that joint scale
conference, have gone out of their
way, have even assumed authority
not vested in them by the miners
convention to meet the grave and
full responsibilities placed upon them
not only as miners, but as country
men and citizens by the request and
suggestion of THE president of on,
country. And it will become evident
from the votes reported here by at
least four of the states, who must
and who rightfully shall assume the
responsibility for disagreement, If nc
settlement is reached.

One State for Increase.

"One state, one large PRODUCING
state, has come in here and voted for
restoration of the scale of 1903. That
state has not only voted its entire
production, but it has announced i'm
addition thereto the intention to vote
its mines in Ohio and Illinois in
favor of the increase Of wages. It
seems to me- gentlemen, that instead
of sitting quietly. the gentlemen from
the operators side ought to say
something In defense of their posi-
ton. And accepting all response
bllities that may come to me person
ally, without consultation with the
gentlemen who employ me, want "a
offer for consideration, and hope
the favorable consideration of this
convention, a motion that as a basis
OF settlement there will be a restora
tion of the scale. the mining scale
and day wage scale and dead work

The wor. Tattoo"

In .Iohnson's Dictionary "tapotez

THE HONOR OF CLATS0P.

It is, or should be, a matter Of pro-
found consideration with a county that
it is the home Of federal senator, and
especially when that distinguished post
is filled with energy and acumen and
the force that commands the attention
and commendation of nation. This is
Clatsop's distinct pride; franchise she
will not willingly forego and one she
certainly will not wilfully lay down as
long as she has the votes to maintain
the honor. She has every reason in the
world to foster the conditions that make
for the retention of Hon. Charles W.

ONE OF THE CONSEQUENCES.

The Morning Astorian has never in
terferred, for, nor against, the wish OF
any community in Clatsop county, in
the matter of local option. 1t believes
such questions are entirely within the
purview of the citizens demanding, or
opposing, the policy, within the district
affected. 1t is one of those subsidiary
issues that are raised only by a given
contingent of the general population and
those beyond the limit Of the boundaries
involved should keep hands off. This
we are doing. But, there is a closely
analogous matter interviewer with the
pending local option issue in Astoria
precinct No. g. that invites the consid-
Grafton of the entire community, and
that is the relation of the North Pacific
Brewing Company's plant in that ward
to the outcome of the election there.
Here is a big, commercial investment ap-
proximating 100000, which means a
great deal in business way to Astoria,
Clatsop county, and the surrounding
towns and country, and worth the full
est consideration of every voter in No,
6, and elsewhere about the city, when
the question of its dismantling and re-
moval from the community, is concerned.
1t is heavy attribute of the commercial
life of the city; it is big wage payer;
it is fixed and valuable property; it is
no small item on the tax-roll of the
county; it is an institution of import
ance in the manufacturing sense; it is
not saloon; it is an element insepara.
BILE from the question of local option,
as the same now cOnfronts the voters
in that ward. They must scan the pro-
position of its loss to them, and to the
whole community, with deliberate care
and due regard for the deprivation that
must ensue if the doctrine of local OPP
ton is applied there. 1t is no child's
play, nor no matter of mere whim to
put an embargo of such sort upon a
well-founded and prosperous business in
stitution in a community where every
manufacturing plant is of extraordinary
value on the roster of its commerce. BE
careful what you do and what you say,
in this relation, gentlemen of No. 6!
