HALF A MILLION
MEN TO STRIKE
All Hope Seems Gone Of Averting
Gigantic Industrial War.

Indianapolis, Feb. 2.-One of the
MOST dramatic scenes ever witnessed
in a national convention of the United
Mine Workers of America was the
final adjournment of that body this af-
ternoon after the dissolution of the
joint conference of operators and
miners Of the central and southwest
ern districts and after the national
convention had administered sting
ing rebuke to one of the oldest officers
OF the organization for transgressing
one of the fundamental laws of union
ism, in voting contrary to his instruc-
tions to stand for an increase OF
wages.
When the lusty voices of the miners
mingled in the singing of America"
had hushed, an oppressive silence fell
upon the assembled delegates. and as
President John Mitchell slowly pro-
nounced the words which adjourned
the seventeenth annual convention
without day, thus dissolving every
hope of averting a gigantic industrial
war without the Intervention of some
unexpected and powerful influence,
the miners marched out of the hail.
their faces set with a grim determi-
nation, which showed the steadfast-
ness of purpose which has marked
the history making session just closed.
The apparent determination of both
operators and miners indicates that
neither will make overtures for fur
ther negotiations, and unless some in
f,,tn
the breach $4,000 men controlled by
the United Mine Workers will walk
out of the mines in every section of
the country on April l.
There have been limitations that
two agencies-the president of the
United States and the National Civic
Federation-may be appealed to set in
motion negotiations looking to a re-
Mobilization of the joint state agree
ment, or at least discussion of some
possible means of bringing the opera
tors and miners together for further
negotiations.
So far as known. however, there IS
nothing upon which to base an asser-
ton that either the president or the
Civic federation have decided to offer
their services.
Details of Last Meeting.
The coal operators and miners of
the central competitive and southwest
districts met in joint conference to-
day to finally settle the question as to
wether an agreement was possible.
President Mitchell announced that
the miners had refused to accept a
continuance of the present scale. r.
|. Robbins, of Pittsburg, moved the
present scale be affirmed with the
same process and conditions for the
year beginning April 1. Taylor, the
Illinois operator, moved an amend
ment which was the same proposition

iority and a minority on the measure,

ent view Whether these divergent

mined Secretary Taft, who is a
staunch advocate of the bill, has let II
be understood that no compromise in
volving an increase of the tariff rates
on Philippine sugar and tobacco i'm
ports over the 25 per cent rate pro-
posed in the pending measure will be
accepted, If his views are to obtain.
He spurns the suggestion that, in order
to secure votes for the Hepburn rate
regulation bill, the administration
would be willing to permit the Philip
pine sugar and tobacco imports to
come into the United States at rate
of so per cent of the Dingley tariff
rates. Secretary Taft would see the
Philippine bill defeated on direct
vote rather than be a party to any
such compromise.

RATE BILL WILL GET
MAJORITY COMMITTEE REPORT

Washington, FEB. 2.-Railroad rate
legislation will be voted upon by the
senate committee on interstate COM
merce on February 16. An agreement
to take a final vote at that time on the
measures pending before the commit
tee was reached today. The differences
of the opposing factions have narrow
ed down to the court features of the
bill, but these present variance ad-
mited to be fatal to harmonious
committee report They may be sum-
married. in this propositions:
Whether there shall be a specific
provision for review by the United
States courts of orders of the inter-
state commerce commission establish
Ing rates, before such orders become
operative.
On this question rests the fate OF
the favorite issue of the president as
submitted in his annual message to
congress The Hepburn bill does not
contain this provision in direct terms.
This bill meets with the approval OF
the administration. The supporters of
the measure, as well as OF the Dolli-
ver-Clapp bill, which is built on SINH
lar lines, contend that common car
rieres have the same rights as other
persons and can go into the courts and
secure an injunction against an order
OF the commission and that there is no
occasion to enact into law something
that is already provided for by existing
statutes.
The opposition forces. which call
themselves the conservative element,
hold that without the specific PROVE
sion demanded by them the inter-
state commerce commission will be all
powerful They take the position that
a common carrier should not be COM
PEELED to go into court to have a
wrongful rate righted, or in other
words. that rate the common carrier
believes to be unjust should be regu.

PEPPER FLIES
IN PARIS
RESIST EFFORT
AT INVENTORY OF CHURCHES

Paris, Feb, 2.--As a net result OF
today's plotting though the Inventory
was taken in but one church, that Of
st. Pierre Grescaillou over fifty per-
sons were seriously injured and a fur
ther considerable number slightly
hurt
The latter include a number of
police and liremen. who We're almost
blinded with cayenne pepper. Fifty
arrests were made. The storming OF
the building was greatly protractcd,
owing to the use by the defenders
Of red pepper. After repeated efforts
the police and iiremeu only succeed
ed in entering the church by employ
ing chairs as shields.
1t is said that the clergy have done
their best by advice to their congre-
cations to remain calm, but without
avail, the militant Catholics being
firmly resolved to resist what they
term the spoilation of the many Paris
churches, containing many millions of
francs worth of jewelry, military
medals and decorations given by de-
votees as thanks offerings.
1t is charged that the blame for the
recent conflicts attaches to the minis
ter of the interior because of his or
der that the inventory of the churches
should be carried out before the regu-
lations under the separation law are
definitely drawn up.
This leaves the Catholics uncertain
regarding the fate of the church
property, and their doubts on this
subject have brought about their re-
sistanee to the order and it's results.
The authorities are determined, how.
ever, that the law shall take It's
course and the disorders be suppress
ed with the utmost rigor.
Twenty-Five hundred inventories
have been made throughout France,
many without incident but Paris con-
tains sixty-nine Roman Catholic
churches, OF which but half have been
visited by the officials.

STATEHOOD BILL
NEAR READING
Clerk in Senate Had a Good Start When
Teller Woke Up.

Washington, Feb. 2,-There was for
moment today prospect that the
statehood bill would receive its first
formal reading in the senate, always
the initiative step in the consideration
Of any measure reported from com>
mittee.
The senate took up the calendar
Immediately after disposing of the
routine business, and as. the statehood
till occupied first place the secretary
had begun to read it before any of
the opponents of the bin realized the
situation. He had covered but a few
pages when Mr.. Teller put a stop to
the proceedings for the time.
The shipping bill was made the ba.
sis of running debate between Nj,
Patterson in opposition. and Mr..
Gallinger and Mr.. Perkins in
support Mr.. Patterson criticised
the provision for subvention to
the Oceanic Steamship company,
saying that that concern was now
under contract to carry the mails
at a good compensation. and that
the request for Il subsidy amount
ed to a demand for more money on
its contract. Messrs. Gallinger and
Perkins replied that the company
was losing money.

Chicago, Feb. 2.--This is the mildest
winter in history, so far as Chicago is
concerned, taking the entire past

France to Study Our Army.

Paris. Feb 2.--It is somewhat un-
usual for Europeans to go to America
to study the war game, but the French
government has just decided to send
Lieutenant Brugere, son of the vice
president of the superior council of
war, to study at the United States in
fantry and cavalry school at Fort
Leavenworth, Kansas.
This decision was reached on the re-
ceipt OF an invitation from the Unit

lated without compelling recourse to
injunction.
Members of the senate committee
insist that there is no significance in
The reaching of an agreement to vote
on February 16. The Arrangement
carries with it an agreement to meet
on February and daily thereafter
and consider the various bills before
the committee.
The belief is expressed by the COM
mittee that before that time the Hep
burn bill will have passed the house.
In that event the house bill would fur
nish the basis for discussion and the
prospects are that efforts will be
made by the opposition to amend this
bill, rather than to attempt to bring
one of their own bills out of the COM
mittee
Both Sides Claim Majority.
Canvases of the committee have
been made today by the administra-
tion forces and by the opposition Both
claim majority of the committee, but
neither side is willing to be quoted as
to the lineup. On the general propo-
sition of court procedure 1t appears
that the administration measures come
nearest to meeting the ideas of the
democratic members. If this should be
proven true the Hepburn bill or the
Dolliver-Clapp bill could be reported
out of the committee by a majority
vote.
In fact, so It Is claimed, by a vote
of s to s. 1t is claimed that three
republicans and four democrats are
absolutely for the administration
measure which insures a majority on
that proposition. The opponents are
not disposed to contest this view, and
agree that unless two democrats
should vote with them, the Hepburn
bill or the Dolliver-C Clapp bill Will be
reported with a majority vote.
House Hears Much OratOry.
Washington, Feb. 2.-Oratory on
the railroad rate bill held the atten-
ton Of the house for six hours today.
The speeches of Burton (ohio), Me-
Call (Mass), and Russell (Texas)
were features. while Thomas (Ky),
Burke (S. D.) and Golden OF New
York, took up particular and specific
topics.
Mr.. Burton discussed the broad field
Of proper national ideas and growth
Of industry, corporation development
and traffic. Mr.. Mccall made an at
tack on the bill, opposing its funda-
mental features. and making, as he
knew, a vain effort to have the power
to regulate railroad rates administered
by the courts. Point after point he
made to show what he contended
were the weaknesses and evil Of gov
ernment rate making, Illustrating by
records of foreign countries Mr.
Russell argued for the measure. He
spoke as a democrat and gave that
phrty credit for sustained effort and
for careful scrutiny In the perfecting
of the measure.

mittee in which the bill originated
