PRESIDENT MITCHELL DELIVERS
HIS uLTiMATUM.
No Sign Of Agreement Unless In

Mines May Close in
April.

Indianapolis, Ind, Jan. 31.-The In
diana, Illinois, Ohio and western Penn
sylvania coal operators and miners
have at last clashed on the real bat
tleground of their joint conference.
The Indications are that by Friday
night both will be going home with
out an agreement and that a months
truce will be declared by adjournment
of the joint conference until about
March /. Strike. strike. strike. that
was all one heard today.
President Mitchell delivered his ul-
timatum to the operators in the scale
committee Session LiLis mUTL.Ig. I'M
mediately after Mitchell thundered out
this declaration an operator moved
that the scale committee adjourn until
afternoon so that the operators of the
four states might hold caucus. This
was done.
The session of the scale committee
this afternoon was unproduoSive Of
results that would form a ddhnite re-
port to be made to the joint con-
ference, and there remains only the
chance that the operators will offer
substitute basis for an agreement
that the miners will adopt,
There must be an increase in wages
or there will be no agreement" This
statement was made by President
Mitchell today.

when the present contracts expire on

states that they stood with them
against granting any increase, either

operators of the nine states who are

miners policy is not to sign contracts

tracts expire on April / until they

HOMES ARE PROPOSED FOR RAIL

Building sites Are 60 BE Offered
Along the Proposed Lines OF
w. e. L. e. at Ju rsus.

The belief that the Wheeling G.
Lake Erie Railroad Company will build
shops and terminal yards near Justus
upon land which has either been pur-
chased or. opdoned for a short time,
has led enterprising promoters to also
take options on land In the vicinity
of the proposed improvement for
speculative purposes. During the past
ten days many individuals have en-
deavored to secure options on small
tracts Of land near the site of the
terminal yards. Others have endeav-
cred to obtain options on land fol-
lowing the course of the tracks, which
! will lead from the main line to the
proposed terminals
The Bimeler Land Company has
been incorporated In Columbus with
capital stock of 100000 by
John Bimeler, of Zoar; Jackson w.
Pontius. James D. Barry, Henry w.
Hossler and David B. Day of Canton.
The news Is given out that the COM
pany will proceed to sell lots at once
| along several lines, which the COM
pany feels will be the right of way used
by The railroad company. The impress
sion has become general that q ma
jori'y of the Wheeling & Lake Erie
trainmen will live near Justus. The
railroad company and the land COM
paDy will erect houses and will sell
| land for building sites.
Mr. Bimeler and Mr.. Pontlus were
the frst to be mentioned in connec-
| tion with the proposed improvements,
They visited the farmers in the vicin-
| ity Of Justus several months ago and
| secured options. Secrecy was theiI
| gro'a lest trait and 1t was not until
| several hundred acres had been TAX
en- under option that the owners OF
! the land learned the intended pur-
pose of their farms For the past
two months the railroad company has
been active. Actual work in max
ing excavations through some of the
i'Nls near Bolivar has been COM
menced.

we can do is to do the best that we

Barre Democrats Favor a Fusion
Ticket.

The democrats of Barre are the
first Of any town or city in the state
to come out squarely for fusion
state ticket headed by P. w. Glenn
ent of Rutland for governor and 6.
Herbert Pape of that city for lieuten-
ant governor.
1t is said that the delegates favor
ing such fusion ticket will be elect
ed~to represent Barre In the state
democratic convention to be held at
Burlington June %.
While some Of the old-time demo-
Gratis OF other parts Of the state favor
straight democratic ticket, there is
no such sentiment in Barre among
the men of the party who have been
able to elect their candidates for rep
resentativeS in the last four elections.
1t was announced Saturday that
Barre would set the pace for the flu
sion this year and that such promi-
nent democrats in the city as NJ. ].

support such a movement.
These men were interviewed Sat
urday afternoon and without excep-
ton confirm the statement. They
declare that the democratic party in
Vermont has been Flooding along in
the old way for 20 years without
making any seeming progress, and
believe a hard blow, with possible
success, can be goven the republican
machine by means of fusion, and
heartily favor a ticket headed by
Clement and Pape.

For Better Roads.

Ludlow is to have an up-to-date
fire alarm system, a stone crusher,
and hook and ladder truck" says
the Tribune, and the town is receiv-
ing congratulations on its endeavors
to take good care of itself. Ludlow
means to have good roads and takes
the only practical means of securing
them-that is, with a matchmaking
plant, and as a beginning buys a
stone crusher.
Woodstock already has some of the
things Ludlow is just acquiring-a
fire alarm system and a hook and
ladder truck. A stone crusher and a
roller she lacks, and the streets show
it. The village has no permanent
roadway. The streets in places are
in fair condition, but there is no Sec
ton that doesn't need mending once
in while, and some of the most
travelled thoroughfares are the worst
as far as dust and mud are concerned.
The streets continually need tinker
ing-here little scraping off the top
and there a few loads of filling. And
the material for these temperament
roadways is growing scarcer and
mor6N, Any other Stomach h fact more
strongly ,.4phasizes the need of
stone crusher, to make available the
rocks and boulders everywhere at
hand.
St. Johnsbury hesitated long over
the purchase of matchmaking
plant, but now" as the Tribune
says, "since the investment was made
there and the improvement in the
roads is something the taxpayers can
see and appreciate for themselves, it
would take a large amount of ability
to make it clear to the community
just why the thing wasn't done years
before. The crusher and macadam-
ling proposition will operate in just
the same way in Ludlow" And
why not in Woodstock?

LOCALS LOSE AND WIN.
The local ball team met defeat
here Saturday at the hands of a team
from Dartmouth; score 3 to 2.
On Wednesday they played the
Ludlows here and won, 9 to 2.
Saturdays game showed lack of
practice by the home team both in
the field and at the bat, but Wednes-
day there was a vast improvement,
as they hit the ball, ran bases and
fielded like old-timers. The Lud-
lows played a clean game and hit
the ball, but hit in hard luck. Their
fielding errors were few, although
they had several hard chances. But
the locals were out for the game
from the start and played faster than
their opponents in all parts Of the
contest.
