WAGE SCALE COMMITTEE
PROBING MINERS DEMANDS.
Men Demand Raise, Eight-hour
Day and Other Changes.

CINCINNATI, March 1.-THE de-
mands of the miners of the central
competitive field are in the hands of
the scale committee appointed by the
conference of miners and operators in
session here. Tn committee began it's
work today. What this committee
agrees upon probably will be the ulti-
mate agreement between the operators
and the union miners in Ohio, Indiana
and Western Pennsylvania. Pending
an agreement or disagreement of the
committee the conference stands adj
journed at the call of it's chairman.
The union demands are: An increase
of 10 per cent. per ton for pick work
and an eight-hour day, half holiday on
Saturdays and the substitution Of run
of mine for the screen system, a
basis for compiling the workmen's
earnings.
The scale committee may be in ses-
sion two days or three weeks, but the
hope is that they will finish their labors
by mex Tuesday, when the convention
of the United Mine Workers of Amer
lea is to begin in this city. The result
of the elaboration of the scale COM
mittee will be presented in the end
to the miners convention for approval
or disapproval.

zoo WOMEN HEAR WHY
COST OF MEAT is HIGH.
Housekeepers' Alliance Told
How They Can Cut Butcher Bill.

PITTSBURG, March 11.-After seeing
half a beef cut up and hearing all the
mystery of the butchers trade ex-
plainad. to them, the members of the
Housekeepers' Cooperative Alliance
have not yet spotted the nan higher
up who gets all the profits. Instead of
charts they expected, the 200 or more
women were greeted by a mountain
of beef When they were assembled. This
was cut up by a butcher. while the
lecture was delivered by William Bader,
a marketrnan.
IF more pot roasts were used" said
Mr.. Bader, as he held up a fne-looking
piece of meat which sold for Is cents
a pound, there would not be so much
complaint about high prices. The rea-
son tenderloin steaks and rib roasts
are so dear is that there are so few
of them in one animal. There is no
better meat than the rump pot roast,
which sells for 1212 cents a pound, and
stuffed flank steak, selling for Is or 20
cents. is great.
1.-THE reason why so many women
think the butcher has cheated them Is
because they buy the meat at the UNI
trimmed price, have the butcher trim
it, leave the trimmings, take the meat
home and weigh it and find it short

morrow it is anticipated the Essex
Troop, Captain Bryant commanding,

OVERLOOK PROBE TO BE
RESUMED NEXT WEEK.
Grand Jury Will Quiz Freehold
ers and County Officials.

When the grand jury adjourned its
quiz late yesterday afternoon into the
cost of construction of the County Hos
pital for the Insane, at Overlook, it
was only to meet again Monday after
noon for the same purpose. Then this
phase of the long-drawn-out investiga-
ton will be resumed for two days more.
No subpoenas have been issued for
the continuance of the probe and Prose-
cutor Wilbur A.. Mott said today that
he had not, as yet, directed any to be
served. It is understood, however, that
at this home-stretch of the quiz, as 1t
will be concluded during the next week,
several of the freeholders interested in
the construction of the big plant will be
called, as well as several Of h con-
tractors and sub-contractors n were
on the job.
1t is expected that Freebooter Hugh
Gallagher, Of Montclair, who was n
chairman of the committee on public
buildings of. the Board Of Freeholders
during the earlier stages of the work,
will be asked to tell what he knows
about it. Freebooter Pierre Black, OF
Belleville. who holds down the job of
superintendent of county buildings at
the same time, is also supposed to be III
the little list, while Richard e. Hening-
ham, of Brooklyn, the general contrac-
tor. and Storms & Co., who had the con-
tract for heating and ventilating, may
tie among those whose presence VIII be
deemed desirable by the inquisitors.
AS there Is an enormous mass OF
testimony to be whipped into shape as
the result of the Investigation, and the
jurors are approaching the end of their
Term. their final examinations of wit
nesses will be cut down as far as pos
sible.
Frederick 0. Runyon, electrical ex-
merit for. Hurd & Sutton, architects of
the hospital, was h only witness at
Yesterdays quest, and was closeted with
the Jurors for more than an hour. He
was auizzed, chiefly on four points. The
plans and specifications of the work,
the rebates allowed to the sub-con-
tractors, the cost of the laundry ma
chinery and that OF the electric wiring.
He told the jurors that some of the
work varied from the plans and specifi-
cations furnished them with figures
on the rebates, said that some of the
laundry machinery was not first-class,
and told what he knew about the cleo
trio wiring. 4ssst4
