Operators Decline.

After Mitchell, as chairman of the
of the miners subcommittee, had fin
ished reading the answers, the oper-
ators withdrew and discussed the
communication for about ten minutes.
Upon their return President Baer, as
chairman of the operators commit
tee, made their reply, declining the
miners proposition.
An informal talk followed, during
which it was agreed that if any fur
Their meeting of the joint committee
was desired by the miners, arrange
ments for it could be made by Baer
and Mitchell After the meeting
Mitchell confirmed the Interpretation
that the first amendment to his orig
inal demands eliminated the request
for recognition of his union. Tech
nically Mitchell and his colleagues
are not appearing before the operat-
ors as officers of the united mine
workers of America, but as represen-
tatives of the anthracite mine work
ers. This was also their status be-
fore the strike commission in 1923.
The general scale committee of the
miners held brief session yesterday
afternoon and after adjournment left
for home to await developments.

Printers Devil.

Aldus Manutius, the story goes, was
a printer in Venice to the holy church
and the doge, and employed negro
boy to help him in his Office. The boy
was believed to be an imp of Satan
by superstitious people of Venice
and in order to protect him from per-
secution Manutius made a public ex-
hibition of him and invited any who
did not believe he was flesh and blood
to come forward and pinch him. The
people were satisfied, but the name,
the printers devil" had come into
too general use to be dropped; and
to this day the young imps of Satan
who go in a printing office to learn
the trade are called printers devils.

THE WASTE OF NEW YORK CITY.
How 1t Is Disposed of by the Street
CLEANING Department.

Cleaning Department.
Scientific American.-It is not many
years since the street department
was accustomed to gather together
the refuse of the homes and the thor
oughfares of New York city, load it
into barges, tow it out past Sandy
Hook and dump it into the sea- This
primitive method of disposal of the
citys wastes was adopted in the belier
or. perhaps to speak more truly, under
the pretext, that the heavier refuse
would sink to the bottom and the
lighter portions would be taken In
hand by the kindly winds of heaven
and distributed everywhere but in the
neighborhood of Greater New York.
AS matter of fact, the greater part OF
the floating matter came back, to form
an unsightly and unsavOry fringe along
the foreshore of New York harbOr
and of the many seaside resorts To-
Gated on the neighboring coasts.
Largely owing to the efforts of the
late Col. Waring. whose memory
must ever be enshrined in the hearts
of grateful municipality, if not in its
public places, we have changed all
this. and today the barbarous method
or dumping at sea has been practically
abolished Under the more scientific
methods now adopted, the city'S
waste is waste no longer. What part
of it is not sold is put to city uses, and
much of it is actually made to render
a CrOfitable~return. The heavier mat
ter which used to find its way to the
bottom of the sea outside Sandy Hook,
where at times, it caused trouble and
misgiving TO mariners by tending to
form shoals and bars, is now used in
the production of new land for the use
of the city. Thus, at Riker's island,
the filling in with the city's heavier
refuse has resulted in the production
of "a acres of land, each of which is
estimated to be worth $4,000, and by
the year 1910 it is estimated that the
total amount of made ground will have
reached 270 acres. Down at Coney
island the same work of reclamation
is being carried on and 80 acres of the
su1ken meadows that border Coney
island creek have been reclaimed and
brought up to grade We understand,
moreover, that the United States gov
eminent is prepared to purchase ashes
from the city to fill in the large section
of ground which it is making at the
southerly end of Governors island.
So much for the heavier refuse. The
lighter refuse has also been rendered
profitable. In the first place the pr1-
vilese of looking over the rubbish is
let by contract, and a good price is
paid for the same. What the contract
or rejects is used as fuel in the boiler
room of the city's new plant at the
Williamsburg bridge. The operating
expenses of this plant are paid by the
money received for the picking over
contract. The plant serves to light
the Williamsburg bridge, the street
cleaning departments stables and the
public schools il the immediate dis
trict 1t cost $4,000 and it produces
a revenue equivalent to $4,000 a year.
The chief of the street cleaning depart
ment is certainly to be congratulated
on the fact that the present methods
of disposal of city wastes are at once
scientific, sanitary and commercially
profitable.

NEGOTIATIONS ALMOST AT AN
END.
COUNTER PLAN DECLINED
Operators Refuse to Agree to Min
ers' Amended Proposal of Arbitra-
tion-ConVention of Workers for
Calling Strike Seems the Next
in the Controversy.

New York, April 13-At meeting
of the sub committees of the anthra
cite mine workers and operators yes
terday, the employees offered the mine
owners the choice of two propositions
in their endeavor to come Dan ami
cable agreement, and the employers
made an informal reply in which they
intimated that they are net likely to
accept either offer. The operators
will make an official answer to the
miners latest proposition by letter,
and there will be no further meetings
until something develops. While
there is still hope that a peaceful so
luton will be found, the meeting yes
terday did not bring the contending
parties closer together; in fact they
appear to have almost reached the
limit of the negotiations. If the OPP
orators should decline to entertain
either proposition submitted by the
miners yesterday it is probable that
a convention of miners will be called,
at which the delegates will declare &
strike.
Briefly stated, the offer made by
Mitchell yesterday was the resubmis-
sion of the miners original demands
with two amendments, and in case
they are not accepted he prOpos IS
that the whole controversy be laced
before the strike commission.
In one of the amendments TO The
original demands Mitchell drops the
request for recognition of the union
and provides that the proposed agree.
ment be made between the operators
and anthracite workers instead of
united mine workers of America. The
other amendment provides that only
employees who are willing shall be
assessed certain sum each month
to cefray the expenses of carrying out
the proposed check-off, instead of I'M
ion and non-union men being called
upon to contribute. If the operators
will not accept the original demands
as amended, the miners propose that
they (original demands as amended)
and the operators first proposition,
which provides for a renewal for
three years of the award of the an
thracite strike commission, be re-
ferred for arbitration to the strike
commission. Thus the miners drop
their second offer, which provided for
arbitration by a Cancellation board,
and ignore the operators second prop
osition with the exception of the
strike commission feature, which they

KAISER EAGER TO VISIT Us.
Herman Ridder Assured Him an En-
thusiastic Welcome.

A cablegram to the New York Times
from London says: Emperor William Of
Germany has a very strong desire to visit
America, and 1t is possible he may see
his way to do it before long. He frankly
talked of his longings to cross the Atlantic
to Herman Ridder of New York, who a
few days ago had the pleasure and honor
Of being received by his majesty.
There are two things that stimulate the
kaiser's longings. One is political and the
other is personal. The political /considera-
ton that moves him is his anxiety to cul-
tivate as much as possible friendly rela-
tons between his country and America. He
seems to think If he should spend little
time in the United States he would demon
strate impressively his good feeling for
the country and no doubt bring about an
Improvement in American regard for Ger
many. His visit also would give him the
great pleasure of coming into personal
touch with the life Of our country. .Ss,-
He wishes to do a lot Of sightseeing. too.
He wants to look over our big cities and
examine their Institutions observe our
business and industrial methods. compare
conditions in which various classes Of our,
people are placed with the conditions of
the corresponding classes in Germany, and
mingle as much as possible in the social
life Of the country. He also Is eager to
learn by personal observation how Ameri-
cans are governed. --:--. - f-----3-.---s
The kaiser especially desires to meet
President Roosevelt for whom he enter
tains sentiments of profound respect and
intense friendliness,e apparently regarding
him. as the world seems to regard him. as
one OF his own kind.
Mr.. Ridder says Emperor William spoke
admiringly Of American character and of
American enterprise and achievements
II told the emperor" said Mr.. Ridder,
that when he gets to America he'll find
our people possessed Of the idea that there's
nothing too good for him"
