WILL NOT ATTEND
BREWER FUNERAL

Washington, March S0.-The supreme
court of the United States will not only
convene Monday, but in all probabil-
ity will remain in session throughout
the day, announcing decisions and
hearing arguments in the Hertz inher-
itance tax case. At a later day me-
mortal services will be held in honor
of the late Justice Brewer.
The members of the supreme court
have decided not to go to Leavenworth
and attend the funeral ceremonies. De-
lay to the public business is the rea-
son for this decision. The members
will attend the ceremonies hers tomor-
row afternoon and as honorary pail
bearers will accompany the body to
the Union station. Mrs. Brewer ap-
proved of the Justices decision not to
go to Leavenworth
At the capital today there was a
rumor that a bill would be introduced
In Congress to allow Justice Moody to
retire on a pension. This would leave
two vacancies for President Taft to
fill.
Friends of Justice Moody, however
do not believe legislative action will
be taken toward his retirement. JUS
tice Moody could not retire at this
time on pay except by special legisla-
tion and being SO years of age he
is not old enough and has not served
the required ten years on the bench
to entitle him to with draw at full pay.
A precedent exists for such legislation
in the case of Justice Ward Hunt, who
retired on a pension In 1882.
Justice Moody was appointed to the
bench December 8, 1906.

SENATOR TILLMAN
TALKS POLITICS

Atlanta, March 30.-As evidence that
Senator B. r. Tillman is regaining his
faculties he discussed politics for an
hour today at the local sanitarium where
he has been a patient since coming here
from Washington. His theme was the
recent eruption, he termed it. in the
House. ',The democrats played their
game poorly" said the senator, when
they called for that vote to declare the
speakership chair vacant. Cannon had
been shorn of practically all his power
when they took from him the privilege
of naming the committee on rules. and
IL the democrats had let matters stand
lie would have been politically lost. The
result of the call for the vote TO de-
clare the chair vacant restored in a meas
ure his prestige
Senator Tillman believes that Cannon
will retire from the speakership at the
first favorable opportunity. He believes
also, he said, that the speaker will have
no trouble in securing reelection to Con-
gress If he asks for another term.
Senator Tillman and his wife take a
long walk each day.

ditional disbursement of s9.o99.S0i or nearly

Conference on Wages

Philadelphia, March 30-Members OF
the Central Bituminous Coal Operators
association left here tonight for Dubois,
Pa. where they will meet officials of tho
United Mine Workers of America to-
morrow and endeavor to adjust the wage
scale for the coming year. The operators
of Central Pennsylvania. which comprises
District No. 2 of the miners union, for
some time have been attempting 10 have
the union equalize the wages of all MI
ners in that territory. The operators
claim they cannot compete with nom
union mines If the union insists upon
wage INCREASE. The increase of 5.55 cents
announced yesterday by the Berwind-
White Coal Mining company, which en-
ploys non-union miners, created much
interest among the operators employing
union labor.
Speaking of the Berwind increase
Charles W. Mills, secretary of the Coal
Operators Association of Central Penn
sylvania,, today said:
1.-THE Berwind- White Coal Mining COM
pany is not working under contract with
the United Mine Workers of America,
and on that account is able to operate its
collieries 10 hours for days work while
the operators of central Pennsylvania
territory who have a wage agreement
with the miners organization work only
eight hours. This longer day is equiva-
lent to a saving of at least 8 cents ton
on the cost of production OF coal to tho
operators who work 10 hours
1.-The Berwind-White Coal Mining COM
pany is also paying for day labor enl-
ployed In and about the mines 26.4 cents
an hour, while operators dealing with the
union pay for the same labor in the
same field 80 cents per hour. This differ
ence will also amount to a saving of fully
5 cents per ton in favor of the opera
tors paving a lower wage"

Reading Also Raises Wages

Reading Also Rnises Wages
Philadelphia, March 3O.-Following the
lead of the Pennsylvania Railroad COM
pany. which has just given 6 per cent
wage increase to $4,000 employees on all
railroads connected with its vast sys-
tenn east and west of Pittsburg, came an
announcement from the offices of the
Philadelphia and Reading Railway COM
pany late this afternoon of a similar ad-
vance in wages to its men.
Like that OF the Pennsylvania, the
Readings increase affects all employees
who receive less than $500 month. The
Readings advance. however, does not in
clrde those employees whose wages have
beer adjusted within the last 80 days.
From time to time during the last three
months the Reading has adjusted wages
OF certain classes of trainmen and other
employees. Including these the increases
announced today affects about $1,000 en-
ployes The general prosperous condition
of the railroads and the high cost Of
living are given as the reasons for the
increase announced by both companies.
