WANT TO CUT WAGES
Some Coal Operators Want to Return
to Scale of 1902.

New York, April 13.-An unusually
large meeting of the anthracite oper
ators, which was attended by fifty
representatives of all the different
hard-coal railroads, firms, and com
panies, including most OF the individ
ual operators. was held yesterday In
ne rooms of the Trunk Lines Associa-
lion, l43 Liberty Street to agree on
policy in view of the deadlock be
tween the conference committee OF
operators and mine workers. II was
admitted, although none OF the opera
tors would go into details, that the
situation was serious.
Several plans were discussed, in
GLIDING that urged by several OF those
al the meeting of general wage re-
duction and shutdown of the mines,
but no conclusion was reached, and a
committee of eleven was appointed to
meet between now and April % to ar
range on a policy, to be submitted FOR
approval or otherwise at a meeting OF
the operators on April %.
Some of the operators were in favor
of speedy and prompt measures, such
as a. general lockout of all the antn-
racite miners, as most OF the opera
tors believe that the mine workers
would like to work under present con-
ditions rather than strike at TINS
time. Others were in favor OF reduc-
ing wages to what they were before
the strike of 1902. and abolishing the
sliding scale, which would make coal
cheaper to the consumer. The whole
matter was finally left in the hands OF
the committee of eleven.
Vice President Loomis of the Lack
awanna was asked why the final adop-
ton of a policy by the operators was
NOT fixed at an earlier date. He said
that the subcommittee appointed TO
arrange a policy would probably have
a good deal of data to collect.
"In any case" he said, the opera
tors do not want TO be put in the posi-
lion of acting precipitately'
Mr.. Loomis was asked If the break
ing up of the conference with the
miners without settlement would have
any effect on the decision by which
the usual April reductions in price go
into effect this month. He said that
so far as his company. was concerned
the reduction would keep on, and he
believed the other companies would
continue the reduction.

war kind and in the engagement was killed
Ensign Worth Bagley, the only officer Of the
American sea service who lost his life IN the
conflict with Spain.
Early in May, 1898, the Wilmington. Com
mander Todd, the Hudson, Lieut.. Newcomb,
and the Winslow, Lieut.. Bernadou. sailed into
Cardenas Harbor in search of some Spanish
g~unboats which were believed to be anchored
there. Commander Todd being the senior
officer present, was in command of the little
squadron of three vessels. In order to pre-
vent the escape of any ships of the enemy he
ordered his two junior commanding officers to
search either side of the bay while he took
his own vessel straight down the middle Of
the harbor.
It happened, however, that the commanding
officer himself first caught sight of a Spanish
gunboat apparently moored to a wharf on the
water front of the town. He signaled: win
slow go in and investigate gunboat moored to
wharf, there on right, painted gray"
"Ay, Ay, sir" came the answer and Berna-
dou took the WinslOw in.
Antonio L1pez. Bernadou headed for the town
with the Winslow under full speed. When the
boat was at a distance of about 1900 yards
from the wharf smoke appeared from the bow
of the Spanish boat and a shell whizzed by
the port side Of the Winslow. Instantly con-
cealed land batteries opened on Bernadou's
little torpedo craft. In a minute the Ameri-
can vessel was In the center Of a perfect
storm of projectiles- ~
Bernadou was no laggard In returning the
fire of the enemy, but the luck Of nature was
over the batteries OF the Spaniards and over
the Antonio Lopez and completely concealed
them from view. 1t was known afterward
that while the Americans could not see the

When Lucien Young was an ensign he was
assigned to a new iron man-of-war called the
Huron. The vessel was bound south from
New York in November, 1877, and when off
Mays Head, on the coast of North Carolina, it
struck the rocks and in less than an hour the
disaster was complete. 1t was a bitter night
and a tremendous sea was running. The black
ness shut out the shore view and no one knew
what the landing chances were in case it be-
came possible to put boats through the pound
ing, grinding sea. One boat was launched and
it was smashed instanter. Then it appeared
to the captain that there was but one chance
to save any part of the crew. A volunteer was
asked for to attempt to carry a life line to the
shore.
The instant that the call came Ensign
Young volunteered to attempt to carry the line
to land. The captain told him that his chance
of life was not one in a thousand. Young said:
"All right. I'll 60"
A sailor named Williams volunteered ito &C
company Young. The two took what is known
as a balsa, attached to a rope, and making
their way out on a spar they dropped into the
seething water. The waves beat them back
against the spar and Young was severely
bruised by the contact. He stuck to his task.
however, and with Williams succeeded in max
ing Roadway against the fierce assault OF the
waves and in escaping death among the storm
beaten rocks. Finally they gained a foothold
upon the sands beyond the roaring surf. The
result of their heroism was the saving Of about
one-third of the Huron's crew. The vessel
went to pieces SO quickly that the rescue of all
the crew by means of the life line proved i'm
possible.
Naval officers believe that Young was born
iucky as well as brave. Four days before the
naval battle of Santiago Rear Admiral Samp-
SON ordered Lieut.. Young, who was in COM
mand of a small gunboat called the Hist. to
cruise in the vicinity Of Manzanillo and II prac-
ticable to destroy some Spanish g~unboats said
70 be lying in the harbor.
The Grenada sentinel. [volume] (Grenada, Miss.) 1868-1955, 1909-07-23

had taken the Hist farther into
the bay. ran into nine armed vessels drawn
up in the form of a crescent across the har-
Dor, close in shore, where they were supported
by artillery and large bodies OF troops. On
the right of the crescent formation of craft
was a savage looking torpedo boat, while a
good sized gunboat guarded the left flank"
Young, Helm and Jungen, for the Wompa-
tuck succeeded in getting into action, fought
this apparently overwhelming force of the en-
envy for an hour and a half, completely dis
abled the Spanish torpedo boat, put at least
four of the gunboats out Of the business, broke
up a huge pontoon on which foated a six-inch
smooth-bore gun, caused the Spanish soldiers
supporting the naval force to retreat and won
an absolutely complete victory gen&rally.
The American boats did not escape unin-
jured in this action. The Hornet engines
were disabled and the Wompatuck, under
Young's order, took her in tow. but, disabled
as she was, the Hornet stayed in action and
one of its gunners succeeded in putting a six
pound shot ~squarely into a sloop loaded with
soldiers, all of whom were firing at the crews
of the American vessels. The sloop went to
the bottom and took most of her crew with
her.
In the fight, as has been said, the Spanish
force was greatly superior to that Of the Amer
lean. Young was then only a lieutenant, but
he was in command of three ships and he did
his work well. He was advanced three num-
bers for his g~allantry in this fight. Years be-
fore he had been advanced, as the record
shows, "for extraordinary heroism on the oc-
casion of the wreck of the Huron"

the wounded officer succeeded in keeping his
ship moving enough to prevent its becoming
a stationary mark for the enemy's guns.
While in this crippled condition the Ameri.
can vessel kept up Uninterrupted fire from it's
guns and was aided by the fire of the VIII
mington and the Hudson. Notwithstanding
the apparent extremity of their case the gun
crews Of the Winslow managed to put the
Spanish gunboat entirely out Of action with
some well-planted shells, but the shore bat
teries were still in able fighting condition and
they poured in their shot INCREASINGLY.
By this time the Winslow was becoming
fairly riddled with shot and Lieut.. Newcomb.
in command of the Hudson, Notwithstanding
the fact that his vessel was too frail to hope
to stand against any kind of shell punishment,
asked permission to go to the Winslow's aid. 1t
was impossible for the Wilmington to close
in because of the draught and Commander
Todd told Lieut.. Newcomb to do what he
could for the stricken ship.
Newcomb took his boat in while the Will
mington kept up a furious fire on the enemy's
works, but failing to silence them during the
time the Winslow and the Hudson were in
their ~perilous positions. With the shot OF the
Wilmington falling into their works and now
and then putting the men Of an entire battery
out Of action, the Spaniards still kept up their
fire on the crafts of Bernadou and Newcomb.
The crew Of the Hudson after 80 minutes
work with the shells dropping all about them
succeeded In making fast q cable to the Grip
pied Winslow and In towing the boat out OF
range. During all this time the Winslow's

things that no two men in Annapolis were able
to lift. He scored perfect in his physical ex-
animation. but when it came to the study ex-
animation it is veraciously related that Young
spelled Europe Europe"
This short cut" in his spelling methods
came pretty near being his %undoing, but the
academy board had a second thought on the
matter and Young became a cadet, a cadet as
smart as a whiplash in work and in study, and
his classmates were put to it to keep pace
with him.

an instant later he had cleared the rail and
was in the water swimming Justify to the res
cue. The fall had made the sailor practically
unconscious. He was so stunned that he made
but a feeble effort to help himself and it was
an inert, heavy burden that Young held above

Helm, and Wompatuck,
Lieut.. Jungen. The little
squadron picked up. a prize
in a vessel loaded with pro-
visions and intended for the
Spaniards and then the three
vessels entered the Azuraga

Young discovered a gun
boat at anchor near a block
house. The Wompatuck was
unable because of her draft
to go in with the Hist and
the Hornet. The guns OF the
two American vessels put
the Spanish &unboat out OF
