SCALE COMMITTEE
GIVEN FULL POWER

CINCINNATI, March ia direct
overture for solution of the difficulty
between the operators and union
miners of the bituminous mines OF the
conutry was made by the special con-
vention of the United Mine Workers
of America here today.
At the request of President I. l..
Lewis the convention adopted reso-
luton giving its representatives on the
Joint scale committee on the central
competitive field authority to do any
thing necessary to reach an agree
ment with the operators, the resolu-
tion, however, being predicated on the
promise of the miners leaders that the
demand for increased wages should not
be eliminated entirely.
The action paves the way for a
compromise.
There can be no final determination
of the controversy between the mine
owners and the mine workers of the
United States until some day next
week.
When the miners convention met to-
day President Lewis proposed that the
demands formulated at the recent in
dependent gathering be modified He
said the men were now in the position
of attempting to force an ultimatum
on the operators and that if negotia-
tions were severed and a strike re-
suited under such conditions public
opinion would not support the union
cause. He asked that the miners rep
on the joint conference of
the central competitive field be al

COUNTRY IS FLOODED WITH
INCOMPETENTS, Is CHARGE
President of Carnegie Foundation Says
Many Physicians and Lawyers
Are United for Practice

SANTA BARBARA, March 19.-That
the Carnegie foundation for the ad-
vancement of education is prepared to
show in the forthcoming report that
this country is flooded with poorly
trained, unfiedged, incompetent physi-
clans and lawyers is the statement of
Henry S. Pritchett, New York, presi-
dent of the Carnegie foundation.
''The report shows there are four
times as many doctors in California in
proportion to the population as in
Germany" said Pritchett. In small
towns of 300 or 400 population one finds
four or five doctors and as many law
yers struggling for a living. Such con-
ditions are depressing to a profession.
The evil effects of turning out an army
of poorly educated doctors who must
learn on the public is apparent. The
evil of the same conditions in the legal
profession is less obvious, but is just
as serious l am convinced that the
much deplored lack of respect for the
law in this country Is due as much
as anything else to the fact that for
twenty-five years schools have poured
out an army of unfledged, ill-bred in
competent men to practice it,
Mr.. Pritchett advocates higher edu-
cation requirements for admittance to
professional schools. He leaves Sun
day for Berkeley to deliver the charter

besides that from Klein are said to
have been obtained by the district at
torney. Klein, according to we'll au-
thenticated report, made his confess
sion to Detective Robert Wilson of
Scranton, in the Fort Pitt hotel shortly
before noon.
Klein is said to have given to De-
tectiVe Wilson a memorandum con
tanning the names of sixty present or
former members of councils, with the
amounts of graft money given to them.
Some of the councilmen, it is asserted,
sold themselves for as little as $10.S3, II
figures in the memorandum are correct.
Klein has been kept virtually a pris-
oner in the Fort Pitt hotel all day.
With him were county detectives Jere

Fight for the possession of the chill

had been living at the home of the
Rev. and Mrs. E. j. Harper, has been
transferred from Los Angeles to Nash
vile, where the children were sent by
Mr.. Harper when it became known that
the mother was here to claim them.
According to Mrs. Roberts, who is
still in Los Angeles. the Harpers'
charges that she deserted her husband
and her children are not true, and she
and her friends declare that the whole
trouble arose over her desire to have
the children baptized in her own faith,
which her husband opposed.
Mrs Roberts, who worked for months
at mental labor to earn enough money
to bring her to California and to her
children, has found friends through
The Herald. Mr.. and Mrs. c. NJ. Vance

her babies, hastened to find her and to

THRILLING RESOLUTION
STARTS HOUSE STORM
Harmless Little Census Matter Allows
Norris the Opportunity
to Spike Cam
non

WASHINGTON, March 19,-The most
insignificant sort of resolution was the
direct cause of the whole three days
war which has just ended in the house
of representatives. This was little
resolution, not fifty words in length,
introduced by Representative SABBATH,
Democrat of Illinois, providing that
in the coming census the enumerators
should ascertain the mother language
spoken by the people of this country
1t was the harmless resolution which
Representative Crumpacker, Republi-
can of Indiana, chairman of the census
committee, presented last Wednesday,
and which entangled the house in a
disagreement that lasted all that day
to the exclusion of the business of
calendar Wednesday,
Defeated then, Representative Crum-
packer renewed the offering of his
resolution on the following day, Thurs
day, and Speaker Cannon's ruling on
it that day brought forth from the
pocket of Representative Norris of Ne
braska the rules resolution, which mad
been reposing there for weeks for just
such an occasion.
Speaker Cannon ruled the resolution
was based on constitutional grounds,
and therefore privileged. In making
this ruling the speaker had been as
sured by the Republican whip that he
had enough Republican votes on the
floor to sustain him in his ruling, but
Just here the plan went awry and a
deluge followed that finally swept the
speaker from his chair and back again.
When the house voted the day follow
ing the speakers ruling on the census
resolution on the question of sustaining
the chair, a majority of the house voted
against the speaker
Immediately Mr.. Norris, the insur-
gent, was on his feet.
Smiling, deferential and entirely in
nocent of the impending cataclysm,
Speaker Cannon recognized 'the gentle
man from Nebraska" his resolu-
ton in his hand.
Immediately Mr.. Norris asserted that
Los Angeles herald., 1910-03-20

under the speakers ruling, just rem
dered, on the Crumpacker resolution,
his own resolution on the reorganiza-
tion of the rules committee, which he
now offered, was also privileged on con-
stitutional grounds.
There was no way out for even the
willy speaker.
For two whole days and a night he
did not rule on the Norris resolution,
and held the same at bay while every
effort was exhausted by the Republican
side to secure votes enough to sustain
the speaker and prevent the reorgan-
ization of the rules committee and the
rout and ruin of the forces of the house
organization.
But in vain. Votes sufficient to de-
feat the Norris resolution were never
found.
