Mine Owners Will Not Grant
the Request of an Increase of
Wages.
WAS A COMPLETE SURPRISE
Looks as if There Would Soon BE
Another Big Strike in the Coal Re-
gions of the Eastern and Middle
States.
UNITED PRESS LEASED w1RH.1

Cincinnati, o., March 9.-The
mine operators of the Eastern and
Middle state today refused to grant
demands of the United Mine Work
ers of America for an increase Of
wages and the establishment of an
eight-hour work day.
The decision was reached at the
opening of a joint conference Of
mine operators and leading mine
workers.
The decision of the operators
came as a complete surprise to the
mine workers representatives, who
had hoped for and had prayed for
an amicable settlement of the ques-
tions at stake.
Should the conferences be unable
to agree, it is probable that every
union miner in the bitulithic coal
regions of the Eastern and Middle
states will soon be on strike.
The present conference is the sec,
ond to be held by the operators and
miners representatives The first
was at Toledo, Ohio. That confer
ence ended when the operators re-
fused to receive a delegation of Illi-
nois miners, declaring that the mine
workers were sufficiently represented
by delegates from Indiana, Ohio and
Pennsylvania.
Whether the difficulty will spread
to the Western Federation of miners
cannot be predicted at this time.
Both the Western Federation and
the United Mine Workers have com-
mittees appointed for the purpose of
on a plan for amalgama-
ton of the organizations or at least
for the establishment of a fighting"
agreement.

STILL DOING
BUSINESS
The "Meat Strike" a Busted
Boom and the Leaders Are
Now Paying the Freight.

New York, March 5.-An investI-
cation by the United Press today re-
vealed that the "meat strike" has
gone the route of many noble cru
sades, while the object of it's attack,
the meat trust, is still doing busl-
ness at the old stand.
The prices of all meat products
today are higher than before the
"meat strike" was declared.
Meanwhile the meat trust is busi-
ly making the crusaders pay the
freight Of their crusade"
Soon after the strike began the
prices of meat products were low
cred slightly in some cities, for a
few days. Then started a steady
rise in the retail prices, until now.
beef, lamb, mutton and poultry are
selling from TO cents higher per
pound than last December. Pork
and pork products have almost dou-
bled in price.
From Maine to Florida; from
New York to the Pacific coast, the

family are still tittering today over
slight misunderstanding between
Taft and Speaker Cannon over an
engagement to go for a ride in the
White House auto yesterday after
noon.
Shortly before the House adj
iourned the president called Cannon
over the telephone and told Cannon
that he would pass the capitol
building in about 10 minues" to
take the speaker for spin. Cannon
was on the steps at the appointed
time. He was there twenty-five min
utes later, but the president had not
made an appearance.
The speaker then became slightly
peeved. He hurled a hilf smoked
stogie on the steps and climbed into
his own machine.
He then left after instructing a
messenger to tell the president that
he had waited as long as he could.
Taft did not put in an appearance.

Drastic Action or Lose the
Ground Already Gained.
PASS STRONG RESOLUTIONS
The Action of Stril1e-Breakers in
Openly Attacking and Firing Into
the Crowds in Philadelphia Is Said
to Be, the Cause of the Decision.
UNITED PRESS LEASED wIRH.l

New Castle, Pa. March 9.-The
State Federation of Labor in session
here today adopted a resolution fa-
voring a nationwide strike of all
union labor in sympathy with the
Philadelphia strikers.
The adoption of the resolution
practically amounts to declaration
by the Pennsylvania organization of
its belief that the affairs of organ
lied labor In America have reached
great crisis. t
1t was expected that state wide
strike would be proposed but the
resolution in favor OF national
strike cams as surprise to those
not within the councils of the fed
Grafton.
1t is believed that the action Of
strike breakers in openly attacking
and firing into the crowds In Phila-
delphia last night is in a great
measure the cause of the decision to
take Immediate action on the larg-
est possible scale.
The labor leaders state that union
labor never had a better case to pre-
sent to the world.
They assert that the union meG
have conducted themselves peaceful
ly and with respect for the law since
the strike was declared In Philadel-
phia.
They point to the acts OF the
strike-breakers and declare that the
violent measures adopted by the po-
lice and the authorities have won
the sympathy OF the national public
for the strikers.
The apparent failure of the Phil
adelphia strike with the anti-union-
lists gaining ground daily, also made
immediate and drastic action neces-
sary, according to the union leaders.
After the resolution was adopted
1t was decided that committee If
nine delegates be appointed for the
purpose of carrying the plan em-
bodied In IT,
The resolution was adopted after
President Mahon, of the national or
ganization OF street railway en-
ployes had appeared at the conven-
tion and declared that a national
strike would be the only remedy for
labor II arbitration failed.
He represented to the convention
that as the Philadelphia Rapid
Transit Co. had positively refused to
there was little hope Of
relief for the striking railway en-
ployes In that direction.
His statements were taken by the
delegates To mean that the striking
carmen had reached the point
where they we're practically forced
10 ask for aid.
The fact that Mahon stands high
IN the American Federation OF La
oor unquestionabIy had weight with
he delegates here.

Spokane, Wash, March "a

MAY PREVENT
SEPARATION

London, March 9.--It is common
gossip here today that Premier AS
quith and his wife are to seek a sep
aration Mrs. Asquith has gone to
Europe, where, it is said, the first
step toward separation will be made.
II is strongly intimated to-day by
those who stand in position to know
that the premier will resign the lead
ership of the Liberal forces, and re-
tire from the premiership.
According to the general under
standing, King Edward will elevate
Asquith 10 the peerage, provided the
present program is carried through.
This, it is asserted, will probably de-
lay actual separation as it is known
that Mrs. Asquith is too ambitious

The Refusal of Conservative
Unions to Violate Trade Con-
tracts Put a KiboSh on the
General Strike.
OPEN SHOP ALSO FACTOR
The Action of the Strike-BreakerS
Firing on Crowd Made Many
Friends for the Strikers-FUrthcr
Trouble Is Anticipated by the
UniOnists.

Philadelphia Pa, March 9.-On-
ly the most radical union leaders
and followers today will not concede
that the great general strike here is
a failure. Throughout the city it is
popularly acknowledged that the
sympathetic strike designed to force
the Rapid Transit Co. to arbitrate
it's differences with it's striking car
men, has not proved successful.
The primary causes for failure are
attributed to the Discrimination of
conservative unions to violate trade
contracts and to the prevalence of
the open shop system here.
Labor organizations like the typo
graphical unions insisted that their
members should not protect iron clad
contracts.
Many of the largest plants here,
such as the Cramp Ship Yards and
the Baldwin Locomotive Works are
not unionized and these were not af-
fected by the general strike.
Moreover it is conceded that many
union men struck simply as a pro-
test against the city administration
over its attitude toward the car
strike and the labor question gener-
ally. These men, it is said, now
have returned to work satisfied that
they had done all that could be ex-
pected of them.
Many special police were with
drawn from duty today. This indi-
Gates that the city officials believe
the crisis has passed. Certain union
leaders still maintain that 125,000
men are on strike, but they refuse
to give any figures to support their
claim.
A careful canvass indicates that
0,00O is the correct number today
Of those who walked out.
In spite of riot started by strike
breakers last night in which five
men and girl were shot, the au-
thorities today do not expect any
further serious disorder,
Unionists, however, are not 80
sure that trouble can be avoided.
They point to the fact that the per-
sons shot were members of the
,rowd that was hooting and teerlng
he non-unionists.
The fact that the strikebreakers
shot over the heads of the crowd
Ind injured non combatants,
lroused intense anger.
Many persons intimate that the
and the majority Of
he police have fired their revolvers
and are responsible
or the clashes.

was later allowed to return to the
hall. 1t was then agreed that the
city council meet in adjourned ses-
sion tonight for the consideration of
the demands both for increased
wages and for the matrons. Some
members attempted to have the
council meet as a committee of the
whole, so nothing could be done.
The parade on the city hall was
led by a band and stretched out
nearly a mile in length. Unionists
carried placards and banners bear
