President Taft Tells Why the Eastern
States Have Become Dom

Congress
HANG ONTO GOOD MEN
When Capable representative is Sc
cured, He is Kept in Office
as Long as He
Lives.

WASHINGTON, April President
Taft in an address before the Ohio
Society of Washington last night
pointed out that the dominating pow.
er of the eastern states in congress
lies in the fact that they keep men in
Office when they place them there.
/ His words created mild sensation.
! He contrasted the influence of the
east in legislative affairs with the
west and attributed the supremacy Of
the former to continuous service as
legislative representatives. He saiu:
When the eastern states gets a
good representative they keep him as
long as he lives, and then he has an
influence that vastly exceeds mere
numerical representation of popula-
tion.',
The president was the guest of hon
or at a meeting called for the purpose
of organizing the Ohio Society OF
Washington. Justice William R. Day
was elected president.
There is only one thing want to
say about Ohio, and that is it has a
political tinge." Taft said, 81 think a
mistake made in recent years in Ohio
is in failing to continue as our repre-.
sentatiyes the same people term after
term. The length of service is what
gives influence,

AssLons as this Fine Warm Weather
Keeps up, Nobody Cares
Anything About the
Coal Supply
IT WON'T LAST LONG
Three Hundred Thousand Men Are
Out on What is Termed
Short Suspension OF
Work.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, April L.
Three hundred Thousand miners in the
bituminous coal fields in the United
States suspended work and demanded
higher wages last night, according to
an official statement given out by
headquarters here of the United Mine
Workers of America. Coincidentally
the national officers of the organiza-
tion, which had been in secret session
here two days, departed for their re-
spective states to advise the miners
III the district conferences with mine
operators, in which it is hoped, set
Elements will be speedily reached.
President Thomas L. Lewis, before
leaving to visit the centers of different
fields, made TIE following estimate of
the number of miners affected by the
suspension of work:
Western and central Pennsylvania,
100000; Ohio, 10000; Indiana, $4,000;
West Virginia. 10000; Illinois, $4,000;
Iowa, $4,000; Kansas, Arkansas, Texas
and Oklahoma, $4,000; Michigan,
5000: Colorado, 5000; western Ken
lucky, 5000; total, 100000
Reviewing the situation, President
Lewis said:
when the national executive board
adjourned, we all felt that the pros
pect was very satisfactory for miners.
In many districts now the only ques-
tion is of miners and operators sitting
down together and talking over busi-
ness.
In eastern Ohio, where we expected
strong opposition, it is reported to us
that three of the largest companies
are ready to sign the contract we for
mulated at the recent meeting in Gin
cinnati.
Indiana and Hooking district of
Ohio will reach settlement next
week. There will probably be more
difficulty in western Pennsylvania,
and Illinois, where power and shot
firers' wages are involved
The miners declare the walkout is
not strike. but merely suspension
of work, pending arrangements be-
tween themselves and the operators
for wage scale for another year.
the old scale having expired in March
The men demand an increase of pay
in some instances of Ave cents
ton, and in other instances more
and certain changes in the working
conditions.
The first victory for the men came
in an announcement from Brazil Ind,
the center of the Indiana block coal
district, where the mems demands for
a five-cent increase is to be grant
ed.
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, April 1.-The
wage agreement between tie miners
and operators in the block coal region
OF southern Indiana, already signed
thus preventing the 5000 miners EN-
ployed there from striking and the
end of the strike of 1900 miners in
the southern field in sight, in district
il. President Lewis today predicts
that all of the contracts except those
in Illinois and the southwest will have
been signed within week. He says
it is probable these may not be idle
for more than ten days.
PITTSBURG, April 1-One hundred
thousand miners in this state today
celebrated the Inauguration of the
eight-hour day, but it is declared they
will not return to work until the new
wage scale is made with the opera

caused Coda, the young daughter of
Mrs. Lucy Sayler to leave, was intro
duced to day in the trial of Mrs. Say
ler DIR. Miller and John Grunden. for
the murder of Banker j. e. Sayler
The witness to spring the sensation
was William Claussen, who lives next
door to the office of DIR. Sayler. His
testimony strengthens the allegations
as to relations between Mrs. Sayler
and DIR. Miller, and which, to speak
plain, had led to the murder of Say
ler
Claussen said that he had seen Mrs
Sayler enter DR.. Miller's Office alone
at all hours of the day and right.
He said that he had often notice1 the
two alone in the operating room ad-
joing the main office of the doctor.
They would remain in the -oom for
several hours, he said On one occa-
sion, he testified he had entered the
back room and found Mrs. Sayler and
DR.. Miller alone. They were on the
operating table. DR.. Miller slammed
the door in his face.
BY introducing two automatic re-
yolvers the state made an attempt to
sasten tI1a criiae on Dir. Miller Grun-
den's revolver contained five cart
ridges, while Miller's was empty. The
state claims that Eve shots were fired,
four into Saylers body and the fifth
into the wall, and that Grunden did
not fire any of the shots.
