nj That Time-independent Op
posed to Any Conciiiatory Move.
New York. April 10.-A counter
proposition was made by the anthra-
cite coal operators at their meeting
during the day with the representa-
tives Of the United Mine Workers OF
America. This proposition rejects the
arbitration plan offered by John Nit
chell, president of the United Mine
Workers, and suggests the following
instead:

ton of it's award of that date in re-
spect only to the following subjects:
"First--Wages.
"Second-As to adjustment of COM
plaints through the Cancellation board
or otherwise
"Any new award of the commission
shall be binding for period of three
years"
The Joint conference adjourned, aft
er having been in session about half
an hour, to meet again on Thursday at
leo p. m.
Bitter Letter From Independents.
At the close of the meeting copy
of a letter from independent oper-
ators, who held meeting at Wilkes
barre Monday, TO the operators com
mittee was made public. This letter
exposed the conviction OF the indie
pendent operators that any agreement
to arbitrate with the United Mine
Workers would be an unjustifiable sur
render to anarchy and mob violence.
The letter contained the following
I'VE contend that it would be better
that our mines shall lie idle for years
than that we shall accede to the high
waymanlike demands of an organiza-
ton that lacks either the wish or the
ability to restrain its members from
acts of violence that would disgrace
the much despised Russia"
The independents wrote that if the
operators committee could decide, in
Difference to public opinion, upon some
offer of arbitration that arbitration
should be by the same body that met
in 1902 and 1903 and that there should
be NO submission. of questions already
adjudicated, like the closed shop, col
lection of dues or the suggestion OF
any term less than five years during
which the award shall be binding. The
Independents also suggested that any
increase in the cost of production
should be added at once to the market
price Of coal.

ARE YOU A REPUBLICAN 2

If you are republican and favor
the principals of that party, vote
the republican ticket. The claim
can not lie made about the republi-
can ticket before the voters Tuesday,
that it is a selection by the minority
as the caucuses and conventions at
which ii was nominated, were held
under the new caucus Inv relating
TO primary elections and the letter
OF that law was adhered to as nearly
as possible, and it certainly deserves
the support of all republican voters.
Can any republican afford to vote
the insurgent ticket? If he does he
disqualifies himself from partici-
pating in the primaries Of the party
at the next election. The law is
very plain on this proposition and
can have but one Interpretation.
SECTION 43. ILLEGAL PARTY yorING
--PENALTY:-Every person who at any
primary knowingly votes or offers to
votein any primary district in which he
does not reside, or in (which he is dot
authorized by law to vote, and any per
son who knowingly votes at the pri-
mary of party WITH WHICH HE DOES
NOT AFFILIATE, and of which he is not
qualified voter, shall be fined in a
sum not exceeding onehnndred dollars,
or imprisonment in the county jail not
more than thirty days.
We have no criticism to offer on
the gentlemen nominated by petit
ton, but they are not republicans
under any Interpretation OF the law
and not Untitled to the support Of
lntlliesn ,otus. Again ". ask,
can republicans afford to support
them? Ponder the question we'll
before you cast your ballot next
Tuesday.

TO FIX RACE SUICIDE BLAME.
Statistician in Massachusetts, Makes
Plans for Inquiry.

Chief Statisticiah. Charles +. Pidgin
of the Massachusetts, bureau of census
and statistics has decided to Investigate
the race suicide question and iuuke Il
complete report to the next legislature.
With this In view he has arranged to
send out Il corps OF census men TO ask
questions of men OF small families. The
move is an adjunct to that Of gathering
the census and. although the latter has
been completed, the same men are to be
used as baby finders. Chief Pidgin be
lieves that the fact that the population
does not increase is to be blamed more
upon men who refuse to wed than upon
small families.
He says the only way to get satisfac-
tory statistics on the race suicide qucS-
ton is to base them on married women
and he is acting on that theory. Hav-
ing through the census obtained the
birth period with married women Of
the state he Will pursue his investiga-
tons further and prove that the race
suicide charge should be laid to the
doors Of those men who refuse to marry.
