DEMOCRATIC PRIMARY
To Select Candidates for the State
Offices

Frankfort. KY. March 29.-It is
now practically certain that a state
primary instead of convention viii
be called to make nominations for
state officers The power to call the
primary is vested in the state execu-
tive committee, and there appears to
be little doubt that this plan will be
carried out
In connection with the fact that a
state primary is favored by party
leaders, another "tip" which can be
relied upon is that few of the pres
ent state officials will be on the next
state ticket.

Indianapolis, Ind. March 20. -
The joint conference OF coal miners
and operators OF the central district
adjourned last night until tomorrow
afternoon with no settlement OF their
wage differences reached and with
none in prospect so far as any indl-
cations pointed.
A motion TO continue the present
scale for two years made by the op.
orators was defeated by a solid vote
OF the miners. An amendment to
Mitchelis motion TO restore the scale
of 1903 offered by, +. l.. Robbins of
the Pennsylvania operators. that Il
be made effective for two years was
accepted by Mitchell subject to rati-
fication by the national miners CON
vention which will meet tomorrow
morning to consider the question.
This was the only action taken
during the day. The rest was argu-
ment during the course of which
great earnestness upon the part of
the miners and both factions of op-
orators was shown. Mitchell charged
that many coal companies are owned
by railroads and the profit on coal is
not Indicated by the books OF coal
companies as much of il Is absorbed
by the railroads. He announced the
miners would continue in the future
TO ask for more wages II the market
justified and stated positively the
miners would adhere to their de-
mand for an increase at this time.

Ohio speaking through A. ]. Moores-
head. OF Illinois. who said he thought

of Illinois, II. X. Hammond. chair

the Illinois operators. .reaffirmed their
refusal to pay any advance. Rob
bins, of Pennsylvania. offered to pay
the advance asked, not only in the
mines OF the Pittsburg Coal Co., but
in his own mines in Pennsylvania,
Ohio and Illinois. and urged the min
ersto sign the scale wherever It was
offered. even though the mines of
other operators should lie idle. ]. Is,
Zerbe appealed to the miners not to
sign by districts, but to stand to-
gether.
There were a number OF sugges-
tions and hints at an arbitration com
mission during the day. X. X. Ham
mond said the complication OF the
coal situation would never be under

been examined by commission and
he was willing the differences should
be settled by commission. w. ID.
