ANTHRACITE OPERATORS NOT
YIELDING TO MINERS.
OFFER TWO new PROPOSITIONS.
Disappointment Among Miners That
Settlement Is Being DeIayed-Fear
Suspension May Develop Into Pro-
tracted Strike.

New York, April 14.-At the meet
Ing of the subcommittee of the an
thracite mine workers and operators,
the representatives Of the employees
offered the mine owners the choice
Of two propositions in their endeavor
to come to an amicable agreement,
and the employers made an informal
reply in which they intimated that
they are not likely to accept either Of
the wageworkers' offers. The opera
tors will make an official answer to
the miners latest proposition by let
ter and there will be no further meet.
ings until something develops.
The meeting did not bring the con-
tending parties closer together. If
the operators should decline to enter
tain either Of the propositions submit
ted, by the miners 1t is probable a
convention of miners will be called at
which the delegates will declare that
strike exists.
Briefly stated, the offer made by
President Mitchell was resubmission
of the miners original demands with
two amendments, and In case they
are not accepted he proposes that the
whole controversy be placed before
the strike commission.
In one of the amendments to the
original demands President Mitchell
drops the request for the recognition
Of the union and provides that the
proposed agreement be made between
the operators and the anthracite mine
workers instead of the United Mine
Workers of America. The other
amendment provides that only EN-
ployes who. are willing shall be as
sessed certain sum each month to
defray the expenses of carrying out
the proposed check off agreement in
stead of union and non-union men be-
ing called upon to contribute.
If the operators will not accept the
original demands as amended, the
miners propose that they (the original
demands as amended) and the operat.
ors first proposition, which provides
for a renewal for three years Of the
award Of the anthracite strike com.
mission, be referred for arbitration to
the strike commission. Thus the
miners drop their second offer which
provided for arbitration by the con-
ciIIation board, and ignore the opera.

heavy rains and rough seas; nights
when towlines parted or had to be let
60 and hauled in, while the rain and
wind and darkness made the task Of
handling the large and unwieldy
hawsers arduous. Yet not one of the Of
ficers or crew of the towing feet or dry
dock doubts that they will bring the dock
safely to her destination.
The most trying experience came
when the dock broke from her tows and
for three days drifted to the northwest,
going 10S miles out Of her course. Dur
ing this time the wireless telegraph in
struments enabled them to keep track
of each other, and served to keep the;
crew on the helpless huge steel trough
hopeful and cheerful. In the early part
of the trip after leaving Chesapeake bay
there had been gales that had made
progress slow. Then pleasant weather
followed and speed of five knots an,
hour was made during most of the time,
a record of no miles being made on one
day. But just when Commander Hosley
and the captains of the Brutus and
Caesar were congratulating themselves
on the favorable progress, violent
storm blew up on the night of the oath.
The towing machine Of the Caesar be-
came disabled, and she was obliged to
cast off her line. The Glacier the flag
ship of the towing fotilla, attempted to
take her place but she steered very badly
in the heavy seas, going as she was at
scow speed, and the tow line was cast
off. This left the Brutus with heavy
task and she soon was obliged to fash
the signal: "Hawser carried away"
Followed a few miutes later by the mes
sage: Towing machine total wreck.
Wire hawser went by board and carried
away, leaving about 40 feet on drum Of
towing machine"
Just how the men on board the dry
dock must have felt as they realized
that they were drifting helplessly on the
raging pillows of the Atlantic 1t would
be hard to imagine. For three days
there was nothing to do but listen to the
pounding of the waves and wait until
weather conditions were such that new
line could be connected up. This was
accomplished with the aid of the Po-
tomac, another of the boats of the flotil-
la, and lifeboat from the Glacier, and
the Brutus swung to the cast again with
her charge. All went well until mid
night of the following day, when the
line parted again.
Our map shows by the broken lines the
wide detour which was made in the two
drifts. One of the singular things in
connection with the experience was that,
the dock when she was finally taken In.
tow for the second time was only 30
miles from the point where she had first
started adrift.
One of the interesting features of the
expedition was the successful use CT
wireless telegraphy. Communication 10
this method was sustained with the
United States for distance of more
than 1,400 miles, a distance seldom II
ever equaled where no extra installment
was made for special trial.

A Friend to Humanity

the former capacity it was known as

as great to-day and proven such in many fami

Even as a condiment, mustard owes much Of
its popularity to its medicinal properties in slim

thus promoting the digestion and assimilation
of the food eaten.
STIMULATING FOR BATHS
Among the many useful purposes to which
mustard can be applied one Of the most eco

The addition of some mustard to the water in
the bathtub makes bath so exhilarating and
refreshing as to be inconceivable TO those who
have not tried it. 1t may be used according to

DESCRIPTION OF SKETCHES.

The two positions of the same hat show what
may be done with well adjusted bandeau. When
placed the head over the eyes, the bandeau is
shaped trife to accentuate the long effect, for
the wide, fullface view the bandeau is shaped
horizontally SO that it may rest better on the
head.
The sketch in the corner shows leghorn pla-
teau that owes all its smartness and chic air to
the high bandeau in back, where it is massed
with large ribbon bow and flowers.
Remember that bandeaux should support the
weight Of the hat, and the pins should be thrust
through it instead of the sides Of the hat a care

But, of course, may forgive them in their
