scale committee of the bituminous
coal operators of Illinois, Indiana, Ohio
and Western Pennsylvania during the
day reported a disagreement to the
joint conference of the Central com
petitive district and after session
of three hours the conference adj
iOurned until morning without taking
definite action. The discussions and
arguments showed no change in the
situation and established the fact that
SO far as indications can determine
the opposing sides are no nearer a
wage agreement than they were in
January. The present scale will ex-
pire Saturday and unless an agree
ment is reached before then, the 225.-
600 miners in the four states may be
called from the mines.
President Mitchell of the miners
opened the discussion in the joint con-
ference after there had been silence
of ten minutes during which each
side was waiting for the other to make
the first move. He moved that as a
babsis of settlement there be resto-
ration of the scale, the mining scale
and the day wage scale and the dead
work scale of 1903.
J. Fl. Winder, chairman of the opera
tors, offered as a substitute motion
to adopt the present scale with all
conditions existing at the time OF its
adoption with the mining rate at Dan
vile, ILL.,, for base and to include all
cost of shooting, loading, timbering
and inspection OF shots.
Speeches were made for the opera
tors by J. c. Kalsea and Phil Penna
Of Indiana, TT. N. Taylor Of Illinois
and III. T.. Chapman OF Ohio, all ex
pressing the determination OF the.
operators Of those states to oppose
an increase in wages and to refuse to
pay an advance. For the miners,
President John Mitchell, Vice Presi-
dent T. L. Lewis, Secretary w. B. Will
son. Fl. C. Perry. William Green and
Wellington O'Connor expressed the de-
termination of the miners to insist up
on their demands for the restoration
of the wage scale of 1908, which is an
increase of 5.55 per cent.
Mr. Phil Penna of the Indiana opera
tors in his speech suggested the settle
ment of the differences by arbitration.
Adjournment was taken in the
midst of the discussion. No vote
was taken on any proposition during
the meeting

entirely consumed in fire which
broke out here at 1880 o'clock a. m.
and is still raging G. Fl. Santamoure,
telegrapher for the Publishers Press

a five-story brick building and spread
to adjoining structures. If these

a falling wall and crushed to death

teer fire department is helpless. The
equipment is inadequate and the hose
is constantly bursting. The town is
without electric light or power, the

having burned out.
At q. m. the fire continued to
spread and was apparently beyond con
troll of the twelve five companies fight
ing this flames. The loss was then es-
timated close to $1,000,000 Several
fremen have been seriously injured.
AT $3.50 a. M, however. the chief of

NINETEENTH ANNUAL SESSION
BEGUN AT THE EAST SIDE
SCHOOL HOUSE IN THIS
CITY TODAY.
Opening Address Delivered by Bishop
keane of Cheyenne, Followed by
DR.. Hall, Author of Text Book,
Principal Brown of Normal Col
lese of University of Wyoming
and DR.. Irene M. Morse of Boston.

The nineteenth annual institute for
the teachers of Albany county was
opened at the East Side school build
I'M. this morning.
Bishop Keane made the opening ad-
dress to the institute. He again
brought before the teachers the i'm
portance and the responsibility of their
positions. Their duty is not only to
cultivate the intellectual nature of the
child, but greater than this, to help
him strengthen his moral nature that
he may have the power to live Alright
in after life. First in Importance,
though, in the education of a child
m the influence and the teachings
of the parents. They are the child's
is right II good. Sometimes, in the
failure of the father and mother to
realize the power n responsibility of
their position, the teachers influence
supplants theirs. He en'becomes the
child's ideal. Since we are influenced
more by ideals, the effect of the per-
sonality Of the teacher is greater than
the facts he may teach.
Writer of Text Book.
DIR. Hall was called for and pleaded
guilty" of being the author of the
Werner arithmetic that is used in IL
school at present. But before taking
up his special subject, he spoke of
the different educational ideals that
have peer before the people. First
the religious ideal, then the citizen
ship ideal, the character ideal, and,
last of all, including the best of all the
others, the ideal of service. Men are
no longer measured by what they
know, but by what they do, that needs
to be done"
Radical Change Necessary.
Fourteen years ago a committee OF
ten representative men We're chosen
to investigate the reason why the re-
suits of the work in arithmeu were
not satisfactory. They reported that
a radical change was necessary; ue'
manded that certain subjects included
in the old texts be eliminated and ina
simple, concrete work be given pupils;
that the wholly mental should precede
the written work; and hat the worn
should be simple enough so ma ac
curacy might be demanded. Dehni
tions should also be eliminated iroh

mission. He expressed his belief that
his was the o important part of
the institute program, because it is
the heart and center of all the work.
1t represents one-half of the teachers
preparation for his work, for not only
must he know his subjects, but he
should also know the material with
which he has to deal. His aim should
be to direct the child's natural i'm
pulses. DR.. Brown spoke of the great
influence of the personality of the
teacher in his work with the children.
Dr.. Morse on Hygiene.
In her ak on Hygiene DR.. Irene
NJ. Morse said that though many of
the primary texts on that subject were
unsatisfactory, they might be used as
a basis for talks on the proper care
of the body. IF one law in physiolog-
ical right living has been taught, more
has been lone than if the pupil has
been made a good penman or a good
accountant.
