OFFICIAL ANSWER TODAY
THEN A STRIKE WILL BE DE-
CLARED TO EXIST.

New York, April 12-At the meeting of
the subcommittee of the anthracite mine
workers and operators here today the
representatives of the employees offered
the mine owners the choice of two propo-
sitiOns in their endeaVor to come to an
amicable agreement, and the employers
made an informal reply in which they
tnttmated that they are not likely to ac-
cept either of the wage workers offers.
The operators will make an official an
SWer to the miners latest proposition by
letter and there will be no further meet
ingS unless something develops The
meeting today did not bring the contend

1.-TWO miles below San Giuseppe we
struck cinders which the soldiers were
shOVeling, making a narrow road for the
refugees. Our wagon driver begged off
from completing his contract TO take us
to San Giuseppe. We had not the heart
to insist, the rest of the journey to
the railroad at Palma, eight miles, was
made laboriously on foot for three hours
through sliding cinders. In many places
temporary shelters had been built by the
roadside, like children'S playhouses.
Here women were huddled with their
bedding. awaiting the coming of supplies
which the army had begun to distribute.
The men were largely occupied with
shovelng cinders from the stronger roofs
and floors into heaps three to six feet
deep along the roadside. Many two

making their way along, the women with
bundles on their heads or carrying poul-

tents.

Expulsion or Exclusion.

Mr.. Carlisle cOntended that the senate
or house should determine the fitness OF
its members TO serve in the same man
ner as if the constitutional provisions did
not exist He declared that expulsion OF
a senator cannot be made because Of
something which occurred prior TO the
beginning Of his term: that expulsion
must be for an act committed as "A mem
Der of the legislative body. and that this
would require a twO-thirds vote of the
senate He COnTe1ded that the case
against Mr.. SmOOt Is to disQualify him
for service. and that IL can be done by
passing a resolution TO the effect that
the senator lacks the requisite qualifiCa-

Mines Were Laid.
Members OF the Columbia Valley crew
state the blasts of dynamite were DELHI
erately laid with the intention OF injuring
their men, and We're not fired for the
purpose of frightening them merely This
they say is shown by the fact that two

Columbia Valley constructors were at
work When they returned after dinner
TO resume operations. the fuse to fire
the blast was quietly lighted without
