COAL STRIKE SURE TO
COME, SAYS SECRETARY

Philadelphia, Pa, March 17.-Secre-
tary Hartley, of district No. 8. United
Mine Workers, thinks there will be a
strike of the anthracite miners. He
said:
I'm my opinion a strike is sure to
come. At a conference between the
representatives of the operators and
of the miners the former maintained an
attitude which, in my opinion, will
cause a strike to be called.
Heretofore the operators have all
ways made concessions. but at the last
meeting every issue which was present
ed was rejected. The miners say that
their demands are not unreasonable. !
am of the opinion that the result OF
the convention to be held in Scranton
on March % will be hat the commit
tee will be instructed to again confer
with the mine operators and to again
present to them the very same de-
mands which they have just rejected"

Very many of the Trip count

will offer their services, and as it will
be absolutely impossible for man. of

them all the aid and protection pos

that duty called for the rule complained

No Crooked Work Allowed.
Heretofore such a requirement has
not been made, and, as a result, many
homeseekers nave In the past been To-
Gated on practically worthless lands

ors. No man should accept a fee from
another for selecting a home when he
has no knowledge of the lands selected,
and the requisite Knowledge can be OBJ
tanned only from a personal eXamina-
ton OF the selected tract made by the
locating agent himself, OF from some
competent and reliable person who has
examined it.

represents a tract of and to an entry
mar will be speedily called to an ac-
counting. DO not even intimate that
any one Of the many persons who will
act as locating agents during the ap-
preaching opening are unreliable or
lack the proper qualifications, but the
rule will not hurt anyone who is re-
liable and qualified. and no one will
be recognized as a locating agent who
fails to fully and conscientiously COM
ply with it. / an satisfied that no
person who is competent to perform
his duty as a locating agent will object

Here Are the Rules.
The following are the rules govern

The piteous cries OF his 3-year-old SON.
Arthur, attracted the attention of William
johnson, a cabinet-maker at No. 1S wal
ton St, Brooklyn, when he returned home
At the time the hild was in charge Of
Marjorie Miles. a woman ~ years old,
whom Johnson employed as housekeepe1
and nurse soon after the death of his
wife last October.
What is the matter with the baby ~
demanded Johnson.
"Nothing,' replied the woman. s.Hs
probably has been frightened by some
children"
johnson watched by the side OF the
little boy, who continued to repeat his
promises to be good and cry out against
the torture of being placed on a stove. He
had no idea OF the serious condition OF the
little fellow until, In a pitiful spasm OF
pain. he suddenly expired.
When johnson returned with q physician
one of the neighbors called him aside and
told him that on last Monday night per-
soma living in the Same house had heard
the Miles woman threaten to put the child
on the hot stove in the kitchen unless It
stopped crying. A few moments later they
heard the terrified screams of pain OF the
little fellow and the angry voice of the
woman.
Johnson was amazed by the revelation.
He told the physician he had heard
and an examination of the body disclosed
terrible burns about the legs and back OF
the baby. burns a week old which must
have caused the baby unceaEing pain until
death came to its relief.
When Lieutenant Coleman, of the ely
ner street station. heard the story OF tha
father he sent Policeman Clare to the
house to arrest the woman. She was
brought to the station. and after denying
her guilt finally confessed the barbara
cruelty she had practiced on the baby
given into her care and WAS held ON q
charge OF homicide.
