HOPED FOR AGREEMENT
Cunningham People Met Guggenheim
Representative in Salt Lake, But
Nothing Came Of It.

Cleveland. O., March Ian en-
phatic denial OF the existence Of an in
terest in the Cunningham coal claims
by the Guggenheim syndicate was made
today by Clarence Cunningham under
cross examination in the government
inquiry into the Alaskan coal land
claims.
Have the Guggenh eims now, or have
they had at any time, any interest
whatever in these claims?" asked VIM.
B. Hugh, attorney for the government.
None whatever" Mr.. Cunningham
answered.
what money, If any, has ever been
paid by the Gugsenheims in connection
with these claimsY" he was asked.
+'Not one penny"
AR. Cunningham explained that he
had always hoped some way would be
found TO come to an agreement with
the Guggenheiins. but that after a con-
ference at Salt Lake in 1907, when a
tentative agreement was entered into,
the opposition of the entrymen was so
strong the the idea had to be aban-
doned.
The question Of the much disputed
affidavit which Mr.. Cunningham sign
ed, and which was dictated by Louis
z. CLAWS, was again considered in de-
tail. The witness, after stating that
some of the clauses OF the document
were not strictly in accordance with
the facts, explained that he had signed
it because he was convinced of the
friendliness of Mr. CLAWS and trusted
him not to put anything into the affi-
davit which was misleading.

Colorado Mines May Close.

Denver, March 12.-Coal operators in
the northern coal fields have announced
to the miners that rather than accede
to the demands of the organization
they will be forced to close They base
their reply on the new rate rulings of
the interstate commerce commission.
which, they assert, gives advantage to
Weinberg district mines, and also on
the fact that many of the non-union
mines work their men ten hours a day
for the same wages that the organ
lied mine employees get for eight hours
work.
This reply was given today TO the
5000 miners whose demands have been
in consideration here for several days
In fact, the operators met the miners
demands with a counter proposition
that wages, instead of being advanced,
must be decreased if the men hope to
have work at all
The operators concede the miners
plea that the cost of living is greatly in
excess of former years, but maintain
that the recent rate does not give the
Weinberg mines a big advantage in
shipping to Kansas, Nebraska and
other states, and that the fact that only
5000 of the $4,000 coal miners in Colo
RADIO belong to the United Mine Work.
ers of America makes il impossible for
the operators to meet the demands of
the organized miners.

WAR IN HAWKEYE STATE
Friends of President Taft Going After
Political Scalps of Senators
Dolliver and Cummins.

Washington, March 1z.-Senators Cum
minis and Doiliver were In conference
for more than an hour today relative to
the political situation in Iowa, as af-
fected by the recent Des MOines confer
ence OF administration Republicans, the
announced purpose Of the meeting being
to arrange a campaign In the interest Of
the administration. The Iowa Senators
interpret this to mean that there is to
be a systematic effort to discredit them
in the state, and especially before the
next state Republican convention, which
will be held some time during the sum-
mer.
They understand that from this time
forth the state is TO be canVassed with
the end in view of nominating delegates
TO the convention who will be willing TO
censure them for their course in the Sem
ate. They have antagonized the admins
tration not only on the tariff, but on the
postal savings bank bill, and their course
has been disapproved by some Of their
constituents.
We are ready 10 meet the issue -
said Senator Cummins today, after his
talk with his colleague. I'VE cannot, of
course, leave our duties here for the pres
ent, but we do rot doubt that our friends
will take care OF our interests. OF course
we deprecate the effect of the conflict
upon the party; but so far as our per
sonal interests are concerned, We could
have hoped for nothing better as it viii
give US an opportunity to make a fight
and to show why we have pursued the
course We have in Washington. We do
not fear the results"

ton in Many Places.

Washington, March 12.-Broad and
far-rea aching amendments to the federal
constitution are proposed in a joint
resolution introduced today by Repre-

restraint of trade, concurrent with the
legislatures of the several states; re-
speeding the liability of employers for
injuries to employees; for adjustment of
differences between capital and labor.
and the regulation and prevention of
child labor
lie would also prohibit any state
from denying the right to vote to any

color, excepting the yellow race. He
would give Congress full power to
make laws respecting the conservation
and regulation of water power, forests.
minerals and other resources and re-
specting commercial paper. insurance.
income and inheritance taxes. mar
riage, divorce and alimony, which laws.
the resolution says. shall be of a gen
eral nature and uniform throughout
the United States. and all state laws
respecting. the subjects mentioned shall
conform thereto"
