Secretary Taft's advices from the

TRY TO ADJUST WAGE SCALE
FINAL EFFORT TO SETTLE 81.
LUMINOUS DIFFICULTY TO
BE MADE TO-DAY.

Indianapolis, March 27-Bituminous
coal operators and miners of the Cen
trail competitive and Southwestern
districts will make a final effort to-
day to decide on a wage scale to go
into effect April /. The joint scale
committees of the two districts will
resume their sessions after a deadlock
lasting five days during which there
has been no indication of weaken
ing on either side. The miners de-
mand an advance in wages OF 5.55 per
cent which is the restoration Of the
wage scale of 1903 Mr.. F. l.. Rob
bins, speaking for the operators of
Western Pennsylvania, has offered to
pay this advance and has threatened
the operators of Ohio, Indiana and Ill
inois, who are standing firmly against
any advance, that unless they recede
he will break away from the inter
state agreement and run his mines on
the advanced scale. Whether the
miners will agree to sign by districts
and allow the mines of Western Penn
sylvania to run while those of Illinois.
Indiana and Ohio stand idle is ques-
ton that has not been openly settled.
Indications point to a disagreement
of the two joint committees to-day
and the probable calling together of
the joint conference in the afternoon
when the fight over the wage scale
will be conducted publicly and not be-
hind closed doors, as the sessions of
the joint conference have been held.

POSTMASTER RESIGNS JOB.
Washburn (Wis.) Contest Is Not Yet
Ended.


The contest for the postmastership
in Washburn seems as far from being
settled as ever AS yet no one has
been named to succeed j. L. Jones,
the present official, whose term OF OF
flee expired on Feb. 6.
Nels Nelson, one of the active can
didates. was recommended for the Of
flee by Congressman John j. Jenkins
in the early part of February, and his
name was sent to the senate by the
president for confirmation on Feb. %.
All of the other names sent TO the
senate on that day have been con-
firmed and their commissions granted,
but Nelson's has been held up in the
senate owing to complaints made by
citizens from Washburn which were
forwarded to Senator Spooner, and
nothing more has been heard from 1t
since that time.
+. E. Jones on March IL sent his res
ienation to the postoffice department,
with the request that it be acted upon
by March 81, and it is thought that
some one of the other candidates Will
be named by that time. The three
candidates now in the field are AS
semblyman L. N. Clausen, Nels Mel
son and H. J. Finstad.

STOP SALE OF EMBALMED MEAT
Commissioner Wants Revision of Meat
Inspection Laws.

Commissioner Wants Revision of Meat
Inspection Laws.
Z. K. Slater, state dairy and 1000
commissioner, is making preparations
to secure a thorough revision of the
meat inspection laws of Minnesota
which in reality would almost mean
total repeal of the laws as they exist.
Mr.. Slater contends that it is almost
impossible under the present state
meat inspection laws to detect those
engaged in the preserving of meats.
The food commissioner must be able
to prove that the food was below
grade before the adulteratiOn was
committed or the meat was subjected
to preservatives. AS this is in most
cases impossible, there is no way OF
bringing the violators to book except
in cases where the violations are ex-
tremely fragrant.
The principal adulterants and pre-
servatives which the commissioner
hopes to secure a law to abolish are
borax, SUPPLIES, coal tar dyes, for
maldehyde and analine. The COM
missioner hopes to secure the passage
of a law which will make it an OF
tense punishable by fine for any meat
dealer Or packer to preserve fresh
meats in any other manner than by re-
frigeration.
In preserving sausage and chopped
meat, usually known as hamburger
meat; canned, picked, sailed and
smoked meat, the commissioner hopes
to prevent the use of any preserva-
tives other than salt, sugar, saltpeter,
smoke and unadulterated vinegar,
spices and condiments.
The proposed law would prevent any
firm from selling, or exposing for sale,
or having in possession with intent TO
sell, veal of calves less than four weeks
old. The law would define animals
from which edible meat is prepared TO
include mammals, fish, fowls, crusta-
ceans, mollucks and all other animals
used for human food.
These are rough outlines OF what
Mr. Slater considers a good working
meat inspection law for Minnesota
, Under stcR law ne thinks, much
harmful preservation Of meat could be
detected and stopped. He is in favor
Of recognizing only few of the time
honored processes for preserving
meatS.-W.

Chippewas at the La Pointe Agency

The Indian department at Washing

stirring up the Chippewas of Mime
sofa and Wisconsin as they have not
been stirred up in years. 1t has order
ed the agent of the La POinte agency
at Ashland to discontinue the monthly
allowances to such Indians as have,
in bringing suit against the govern
ment, signed away the right to con-
troll their moneys now on deposit i'll
the banks of Ashland, Hudson and
elsewhere. Nearly half million dol
lars are so deposited.
About 100 Indians have begun suit
TO compel immediate payment, and
have discovered that in so doing they
have signed away the right to control
their money to private parties.
Monthly payments are now refused to
these Indians, the government being
forced to do so i'll it's own defense,
pending the issue of the suits. AS
they will not be settled for several
years, the outlook is bad for the sign
ers.
Delegations of Indians called on the
agent at Ashland, but he can do moth
ing until ordered by the department.

PORTAGE TO LOSE BY, TRADE.
Milwaukee Road May Cut Out City as
Semi-Division Point.

Semi-Division Point.
Il plans being considered by officials
of the Milwaukee road are carried
out it is understood Portage will be
cut off as semi-division point on the
La Crosse division of the road and all
the business at Portage brought to
North La Crosse. The announcement
that these plans are being considered
comes directly from an officer of the
La Crosse division, though it is ac-
knowledged that the plans are yet in
embryo. At present the Milwaukee
company maintains larger shops at
Portage than at La Crosse, and the
statement from an authoritative
source that the formers yards are to
report that the shops are to be estab-
lished there will be extensive. Port
age at the present time is maintained
as a division point largely as an ac-
commodation to the train crews who
have their homes there and desire
their stopovers in that city What
are known as the Portage runs are
made from Portage to Milwaukee,
then to La Crosse, then back to Port
age, with the principal layover in the
latter city With the semi-division
point removed from Portage all runs
would be straight through from end
to end of the division, and all the train
and engine crews would make their
homes in Milwaukee or La Crosse.

MILWAUKEE TRADERS AROUSED.
Threaten Legal Action Because of
Chicago Ruling.

hrearSn Legal ACtlOn because OF
Chicago Ruling.
AS a result of hostile action by the
directors of the Chicago board of trade
prohibiting the members from trading
in puts and calls in any outside ex-
change, the board Of the Milwaukee
chamber of commerce has rescinded
IS recommendation that the proposed
amendment to the commission rules
to conform to Chicago's wishes be
adopted by the local board.
1t is freely stated by prominent
Milwaukee members that the local
board may be called upon to take
legal steps against the Chicago or
ganization upon the grounds that it's
action is revolutionary, uncOnstitutlon-
al and intended to injure the trade and
business of another exchange. There
is talk to the effect that the action OF
the chicago board may result in Mil
waukee accepting the receipts or the
Minneapolis board OF trade on the
Milwaukee exchange instead of those
of the Chicago board.
'The time has come for the MilWau-
kee chamber to take decisive action
in this matter" declared S. W. Tall
madge, a prominent Milwaukee board
of trade man. Milwaukee can and
should stand alone regardless OF chi
cago, and the action there should set
tie the question at once"

They argue that the channel of the

banks and cause great damage to

If the construction Of the bitches
