OPERATORS OBDURATE
TELL MINERS THEY HAVE MOTH
ING NEW TO OFFER.

subcommittee of presidents OF the an
tbracite coal carrying roads and mine
operators held a meeting in New York
yesterday and drew up letter to Presi-
dent John Mitchell of the United Mine
Workers of America, in which the opera
tors again declare that there Is nothing
to arbitrate except the question whether
there shall be any arbitration. This reply
Is made in response to President Mitchells
recent amended proposition of arbitration.
The operators do not, however refuse
point blank TO accept Mr. Mitchell's latest
Plan. They assert that all the differences
between the miners and their employers
have been decided by the strike commits
sion. and that there is no reason why
another attempt should be made TO ar
pirate them. After describing the pre-
vious steps of the two sides and COM
menting upon the plans suggested by the
miners. the operators aver that the min
ers have rejected all their propositions
and that they have nothing further to
offer
mo Reason for Retrial."
The fundamental principles regarding
the conduct of this business have all been
established by the strike commission" the
operators declare. mo reason is suggest
ed why they should be retired We have
contained in our former propositions and
we regret that you have declined both of
them. We have nothing further to offer"
The operators assert also that the min
ers offer to waive formal recognition of
the miners union Is not material and de-
clare that the miners program would in
crease the cost of domestic sizes of coal
$l.10 per ton.

Years and they found that the rabbits. the
Ground SQUIRRELS and prairie dogs would
clean out their cache. But they found by
experience that there was little desert
weed that the ground animals disliked ex-

Plague of the Wolves.
Rut it is the very presence of the forest
resAyyes that has bred the present plague
of timber wolves in the west. There Is no
hunting allowed in the reserves and they
form nurseries for game of all sorts. But
II seems that they breed wolves quite as
fast as they breed anything else and the
cattle raisers have been made painfully
aware of the fact.
In the DAYS of the buffalo on the plains
there were thousands of wolves who lived
OF the herds. When the buffalo were kill
ed or the wolves disappeared also. till there
was not one where there used TO be
thousand. Then the cattle men began TO
stock the ranges, and the wolves found
the conditions much the same as in the
buffalo days. They promptly multiplied
and increased till they are now doing an
immense amount of damage, aided largely
by their asylum in the forest reserves.
The biological survey has sent out one
of its best men to study the wolf prob
lem, Mr. Vernon Bailey, and he has been
skeeing and snowshcetng through Wyo-
ming and Montana while the snow was on
the ground and the wolves were particu-
larly easy to track and study. He has not
done any shooting, but is trying the effects
OF poisons and traps. But the wolves are
about as cunning as foxes. and after you

My Dear Mrs. Handsaker; Many
thanks for your generous donation
for Frisco sufferers. 1t was the first
TO arrive, and was very acceptable.
Yes, l was turned out; lost every
thing. Our lovely three-story home,
where SO many happy hours have been
spent, is in ruins-only an ash-pils
now. We saved nothing; we are
thankful we all escaped. The nerv-
Gus shock is dreadful. Words are in
adequate to express to you this aw.
full calamity, even if l had the time
at my disposal; but time is valuable.
Every woman who can sew has been
busy making clothes. Hearst hall,
the girls gymnasium of the Califor-
MIA university, is turned into a ma
ternity hospital, and there are twen-
ty-five newborn babes there. Oh, so
much suffering and sadness, Some
lost everything they had.
University professors are distrib-
uting food and clothing to the poor.
working longer hours than any la.
borer. Prof. Brown, S. j. Sill and
Z. l.. Corrywell have established a
military camp on the L. of G. camp
us. All the churches have opened
their doors, and are made into hos
pitfalls The Y. Nj. c. A. and Y W.
c. A. are keeping open house and
doing grand work relieving the suf-
fering. 1t is astonishing to see the
young ladies of the University rolling
up their sleeves and donning aprons,
waiting on the sick, washing babies
ana doing anything they find to do.
Money and clothing are coming in
fast, so there will soon be plenty.
Give our thanks to the North Yak
ina people for their generosity. May
YOU never experience such a dreadful
calamity.
| will write again soon, but duty
calls me now to the bedside of the
sick. Yours, with love,
