The true northerner. [volume] (Paw Paw, Mich.) 1855-1920, 1909-01-22

THE present indications are
that there will be a sensible pri-
mary bill passed at the present
session of the Legislature. Sen
ator Collins of Bay City is on the
ground floor early with a broad
comprehensive primary bill.
Senator Dickinson is the origi-
nal primary solon, but the Bay
county senator has snatched the
hOnors by introducing a bill
early in the session. The Col
Inns bill as introduced provides
for the primary nomination of
all elective city, township and
county officials, governor, lieu
tenant-governor, members OF
congress, mem bers of the legis-
lature, United States senators
and justices of the supreme court.
Two primary days are provided
for, the first on the third Tues
day preceding the April election
and the second on the first Tues
d ay in Septe m Der OF
course there may be many
changes in the bill before it be-
comes a law, but it is evident
that nominations under the pri-
mary will in the future be adj
ministered in alleopathic doses.

STRONG OPPOSITION
TO The PROPOSAL
Tax on Coffee Worrying House
Tariff ReyIslonIsts.

Washington, March 1.-THE propo-
sition that has given the house COM
mittee on ways and means the most
concern in drawing up tariff bill and
which has been the most difficult to
determine is the plan to tax coffee.
Some Republican members declare
that the taxing of the breakfast table
would make it impossible for the Re
publicans to carry their districts at
the next election. The National Coffee
and Tea association wrote to the com
n1ittee that a tax on coffee or tea
would be unjust to the consumer, det-
rimental to trade, irritating to the
masses and, finally, will fail to pro
duee any material revenue to the
government for nearly two. years to
come.
"a duty Of s cents upon coffee
would mean an immediate profit Of at
least $3.50 per bag upon every bag in
the United States to the owners
thereof" is the, claim made in the

Workers Of America and the presi-
dents OF the coal carrying railroads
met in the Reading Terminal building
here and began negotiations for a
new agreement to go into effect at
the expiration Of the present working
arrangement on March 81. It is safe
to say that not since the present or
ganization of miners became active in
the anthracite regions Of Pennsyl-
vania have the Workmen and the en-
ployers entered upon negotiations with
better feeling and und erstanding and
with better prospects Of reaching a
settlement without resorting to rad
ioal action.
The demands Of the anthracite min
ers, as drafted at a convention in
Scranton last October and approved
by the national convention at Indian
apolis in January, are as follows:
First-That an agreement shall be

tives Of the miners and the operators
Of the anthracite region and all dis
putes arising under the contract shall
<be adjusted as provided for in the said
agreement.
Second-We demand the complete
recognition Of the. United Nine Work

lions In wage contracts and the Unit

method we may adopt for the collec-
ton Of revenue for the organization. Il

prices for all classes Of labor at all
collieries in the anthracite region and
that all employees paid $1.50 or, less

advance and all employees paid more
than $50 and less than So per day

When the above demands became
known to the operators several months
ago they made public statement
through their New York agents that
the demands would not be granted
and strongly intimated that they
would ask that the present three
years agreement be renewed. The
present agreement is the same as the
