MINERS DEMAND THE
UNIONS RECOGNITION
Principal Difference Between
Coal Operators and Men
Strike Is Not Probable.

Philadelphia, Pa, April 9.-Prelim-
mary to their meeting tins afternoon
with the representatives of the coal
operators. President Lewis, of the Unit
ed Mine Workers of America, and the
officials of the organization in the three
anthracite districts of PENNSYLVANIA
held "A conference this morning.
Neither miners or operators would
venture 4 prediction as to the proba BILE
outcome OF the conference. Both sides,
nowever claim to be willing and anx-
ious to come to an amicable agreement.
The bone of contention. it is said is
recognition of the miners organiZa-
ton Th" miners assert that only as
representatives. of the organization can
they sign an agreement binding more
than 100000 men for Il term of three
years. The operators are quoted as
saving they will absolutely refuse to
recognize the miners union. 1t is
thought the miners will eventually
waive the demand for recognition of
granted.
The award of the anthracite strike
commission under which the wages of
the miners Fad been governed for six
years expired March 81. 1t provided
for Il conciliation board by which all
differences were adjusted. 1t is UNDER
stood that at the conference today the
miners will seek to have this phase of
the award set aside and the board
abolished in order that the mine griev-
anCeS which arise from time to time
can be settled at the places at which
they originate. 1t is claimed that by
this method the differences can be more
quickly settled.

SUMMER CAPITAL WILL
BE AT BEVERLY, MASS.

Boston. Mass, April 14.-That Presi-
Woodbury. Point at Beverly. owned by
Robert D. Evans, OF this city, and ad
joining the Evans summer residence
was the announcement made here to-
Gay. 1T is expected that some of the
Taft family will be in Beverly during
the first week in June.
Mrs. Taft visited the estate during
her tour of the ssachusetts north
shore last month and on Thursday last
MIR. Evans was notified that the presi-
dent would take the house for the sum-
1n.r.
The Evans house is situated on Bev-
erly Cove and is one of the most at
tractive on Salem bay. 1t is on point
jutting out toward Salem Willows. and
is within a short distance of the busi-
ness part of the city of Beverly. 1t is
surrounded on three sides by water
and is only approached by a long ave-
nue.. so that seclusion is practically as
sured. Several prominent Bostonians
occupy summer estates in the neigh
borhood.
Salem Harbor will afford good
anchorage for any government vessel
that may bring visitors to the Taft
sun1per home. while the golf links Of
the Essex Country club at Manchester
and those of the Myopia Hunt club at
Hamilton are within easy motoring
distance.
Salem Bay is one of the most pop
ular yachting resorts on the New Eng
land coast and late in the fall the in
ternational German Sender races will
be held off the entrance.

Armour s. D., April 1O.-The last Of
hciai act of Judge T.. q. Smith OF the
First circuit. before assuming his place
on the supreme bench. was to sign Il
decree in the case of Cole vs.. Churchill,
conveying to Geo. ID. Cole, now OF

Cole and one VIM. II. Burt We're in

ranching business.
At the request of MIR. Burt the titla
TO all the Wheeler lands was placed in
the name of Edwin F. Churchill. q
nephew of Burt's. All was We'll until
Burt left Wheeler and Cole wanted title
to his half of the lands. A little later
Mr. Burt died and then Churchill
claimed to be the absolute owner OF the

1T has been hard fought case with
Mr.. Wanzer as attorney for the plain-
tiff, and French & Orvis of Yankton.
as attorneys for the defendant. The
odds We're heavily against Cole by
reason of the fact that owing to the
death of his former partner, he per-
sonally, could not testify to any trans
action or conversation between them.
and as no books had been kept after
going to Wheeler and no settlement had
ever been had between the partners.
it was a heavy handicap to have to
prove.
The case has been tried before the
judge at chambers in Yankton, at five
different times, resulting in complete
victory for MIR. Cole, the final decree
giving him what he asked for in his
original complaint
