Work at Midnight Tonight

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, March 81
The union miners in most of the coal

their picks and shovels tonight.
Almost 25O.OOO Of them will stop work
in Ohio, Western Pennsylvania, Mis-

Kentucky. The mining contracts un.
der which they are now working ex-

in central Pennsylvsnia and in the In
diana block coal district, no contracts
have been made nor have the miners
and operators yet entered into district
agreements providing for the opera
ton of the mines after April /, pend

There is possibility Of settle
ment in the Indiana bituminous coal
district. in Illinois, Michigan and West
Virginia. The Indiana bituminous,
western Pennsylvania and Illinois min
ers and operators are in joint sessions
at Terre Haute. Pittsburg and Spring
field.
Technically the miners will 50 out
on strike. but in reality they stop work
because the operators. except in Endi-
ana and Illinois, show no real lnten-
ton of meeting and treating with
them. though no question of wages or
principle is at stake.

GRANDPA DAVIS
TAKES A HAND
REPORT SAYS HE Is STRONGLY
OPPOSED TO DUKE FROM
ITALY.

NEW YORK. March 31.-Ex.United
States Senator Henry Gassaway Davis,
grandfather Of Miss Katherine Elkins,
whose engagement to the Duke of the
Abruzzi is generally accepted as set
tied, is firmly opposed to the marriage
Of the beautiful daughter of Senator
Elkins to the Italian Duke, going even
SO far, it is said, as to having threat
ened to disinherit her If she weds him.
Her grandfather's opposition to the
match is said to arise In great part
from the activity displayed by Miss FL
dns. when the ex-senator's engage
ment to Miss Maude Ashford was an
nounced, in breaking on the match.
Intimate friends know that the bat
tie had left its scars. Miss Katherine's
share of her grandfather's fortune
would amount to 100000.
While the venerable ex-senator is in
his eighty-second year. he is vigorous.
and may have many years yet before
him. 1t is said by one near to the
family that he Is bitterly opposed to
international marriages. and will not
consent to his grand-daughter's mar
rage to the Duke of the Abruzzi or
any other foreigner.
1t is said that he wants his gr'nd-
daughters to marry Americana. and 1T
would not surprise those close to the
family If he should make such con-
dltion in regard to the inheritance of
any of his fortune.
1t is said after the duke reaches
Rome a statement may be made by
the Eltins family, that owing to Miss
ElliIns not caring to change her re-
llgion, the bethotha. will not take
place.
