UP To THE OPERATORS
Miners Await Decision in WAGE
Controversy.
STATEMENT BY MITCHELL
Says He Has Done All He Can Do for
Peace.
MEETING IN NEW YORK TODAY
Bosses in Conference to Consider
Answer to Miners on
Monday.
MEETING IN NEW YORK TODAY

NEW YORK, April 7.-There was moth
ing about the temporary headquarters of
the coal miners union in this city today to
indicate that a quarter of a million anthra-
cite and bituminous mine workers have laid
down their tools and are engaged In a strug-
gle for increased wages
The large number of district leaders from
both the hard and soft coal fields who have
been here this week have returned to their
homes, where they win remain until Mon
day, leaving no one here but President
Mitchell and two or three assistants.
The miners leader said today that as the
anthracite employees have laid their case be-
fore the operators there is nothing for him
to do at present but await the action of the
employers. He is now paying considerable
attention to the situation in the soft coal
fields and is In frequent communication
with national and district leaders in those
regions
Mr.. Mitchell reiterated today the state
ment he has already made to the effect
mat he Is well satisfied with the progress
OF a1alrs in the western and southwestern
states: Reports from his men in the field
ne SAID, are up TO his expectations.
Operators in Conference.
The members of the subcommittee of the
anthracite operators will not observe the
Saturday half holiday, but will meet this
atternon and consider the answer they will
make on Monday to the offer of the miners
to arbitrate the demands that have been
made by the men. 1t is said the operators
nave practically decided what their action
VIII be- and that todays meeting is for the
purpose Of final exchange of views before
drawing up the formal answer
Speculation IS still rife as to how the
operators will meet the arbitration offer
There is a strong impression, in fact. some
OF the operators have already Indicated
that the proposal of the miners union as
IL STANDS will not be accepted but that the
operators might entertain the offer In some
other form.

ONLY DISTRICT MEN
To Restrict Selections for Local
Offices.
FIVE YEARS RESIDENCE
Requirements in Bill introduced by
Mr.. Sims.
REFERRED TO COMMITTEE
Nomination OF Barnes Responsible in
a Measure for the Presentation
of the Bill.

Home rule for the District of Columbia
is provided for in a bill introduced today
by Representative Sims of Tennessee, a
member Of the House District committee.
The measure provides that from and
after the passage Of this act, all local and
municipal officers in the District of Column
bia shall be appointed from the bona fide
citizens and taxpayers of said District Of
Columbia who have not claimed citizenship
or exercised any of the functions and privi-
leges of citizenship in any state. territory
or foreign government within five years
prior to the date of such appointment"
Although the Barnes appointment is In a
measure responsible for the introduction of
the bill just at this time, IN that 1t called
attention to the helplessness of the citizens
of Washington in this matter of filling va
cancies in local offices, Mr.. Sims has al
ways been firm believer in the home rule
principle enunciated by his bill.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1906-04-07
Reason for the Bill.

'"The legislation proposed by the bill in
question" said Mr.. Sims to a Star reporter
today. rs absolutely correct in principle.
The pressure from senators and representa-
tives is largely responsible for the fact that
appointments to local offices are given to
men not citizens of the District of Column
bia. Frequently. too. young men from the
states come here to Washington because of
the superior educational advantages of the
national capital. They manage to secure
positions under the municipal government,
and stay here while attending college. Dis
trict offices should go to District men. The
fundamental principle of home rule should
apply here well elsewhere The fact
that the people OF the District of Columbia
are denied the right of suffrage is not to
my mind. an argument that they should
have no say when vacancies in local and
municipal offices are to be filled. AS a
matter of fact believe that this should
constitute the best of reasons Why the citi-
gems Of the District of Columbia being de-

Price on Their Heads.

PARIS, April THE Gaulois today says
that the striking miners In the coal regions
of the Pas-de-Calais are reported to have
placed price on the heads of the engi-
neers Of the Courreres mines, where the
recent great disaster occurred, and to have
designated those who are to assa ssinate
them. The engineers have been warned
and have adopted extreme precautions.
