100000 CJAL MINERS
SUSPEND THEIR WORK
BituminOus Men Demand an In
crease in Wages.

Three hundred thousand bituminouS
coal miners throughout the United
States have laid down their tools and
left the mines.
In many states the miners two-year
wage contract with the mine operators
expired and the miners quit the coal
pits, demanding that their new con-
tract must provide for a wage increase
of 5.55 per cent per ton on screened
coal and an equivalent increase on
"run-of-the-mine" coal.
Conferences between the miners or
ganization in the several districts and
the corresponding operators associa-
tions have been arranged. Adjustment
of the difficulty may be matter of
weeks or days.
In the Brazil Block coal district of
Indiana there will not be suspension
of work, for the operators conceded
the higher wage demand of the miners

small miners communities, where the

sembled to listen to the speeches of
their union leaders, the Strike" was
the sole subject of discussion.
The national officers and members
of the executive board of the United
Mine Workers of America, who were
in secret session at their headquarters
in this city, departed for their districts
to advise the local organizations in the
negotiations with the mine owners.

BEVERlDGE DAY IN INDIANA
Senator Carries Republican Conven.
ton by Storm.

1t was Beverage day in Indiana.
The state convention at Indianapolis
of the Republican party was opened
with ringing speech by the senator,
in which he defended his fight in con-
gress for downward revision of the
tariff and his vote against the Aldrich.
Payne bill
81 couldn't stand for it then and l
cannot stand for it now" said the SEN
ator time and again, each repetition
being greeted with storm Of ap-
plause.
Mr.. Beveridge declared the battle
would be kept up until the aims of
the progressives-a substantial reduc.
ton of duties and tariff commission
are accomplished.
The response was quick and un-
equivocal. The resolutions committee
of the convention decided unanimous
ly on platform making no reference
to the new tariff law, although in
dorsing the principle of protection, and
heartily commencing the course of
Mr.. Beverage in the senate.
The administration of President
Taft was Endorsed. The resolutions
demand the enactment of laws provid-
ing for publicity as to campaign con-
tributions, in both state and nation
and that United States senator shall
be elected by the direct vote of the
people.
An attempt was made to indorse the
county option law in the resolutions,
but it failed. The issue was not men.
toned in the committees report.
The national administration has
sought specific Endorsement of the Aid
rich-Payne law as vital part of the
progressive legislation" to which it is
pledged. The action of the Hoosier
Republicans is regarded by party lead
ers as significant because of it's posi-
BILE effect on the declarations of the
coming state conventions in Iowa. Min
neapolis and Nebraska, where also the
insurgent factions are strong.

The difference between the play
house in which we see drama of
Bronson Towards today and the play
house in which Sheridan's comedies
were originally acted is greater than
the difference between Sheridan's
Drury Lane and the house for which
Congreve wrote and in which Better
ton acted. And that restoration play
house was very unlike the EiiZabethan
theater for which Shakespeare wrote
and in which Burbage acted Even
more apparent is the difference be-
tween the theater of Dionysius at
Athens and the Roman theater ut
Orange. These theaters are sharply
distinguished from one another by
their size. by their shape. by their
methods of Illumination. by the alb
sence or presence of real scenery and
by the arrangement of the seats for
the spectators. and as we study these
successive changes we are confirmed
in the conviction that these physical
conditions must have exerted a pow
erful influence upon the dramatists
who followed one another down the
centuries.-Brander Matthews

There is a mighty important item of half million that Is invested in the bank. surplus that is really an emer- gency fund, without which no big circus could be sure of existing through a sea- son. Part of it Is deposited in New York, part in Chicago, and part in St. Louis. It is at all times subject to a. telegraph order to forward actual cash. The circus works on a cash basis always when 1t is on the road: about the only bills paid by check are the printing bills. In the old days the snowman took all kinds of chances. But the modern circus simply insures itself against loss, and carries the insurance itself, just as many business concerns carry their own fire insurance. F or there is always danger of a railroad wreck or a fire that may destroyA half the show. Or there may be a prolonged season of bad business, due to bad weather. One year when MT Bailey owned the Forepaugh show, at the begin ming of the season it had seven weeks of successive heavy rain. If he had not had an emergency fund to draw upon the show must have been swamped, for the total losses for the first two months were nearly a quarter of a million. But the owner was prepared for the unprecedent- ed, and the show finished the season with A profit
