all operators agree to pay increased
wages of 5 cents a ton on pick-mined
screen coal, with proportionate ad-
vances for other methods of mining
and outside labor, as a prerequisite to
negotiations on the other question.
With the advance in pay assured, work
may be continued in the mines affected
pending solution of the minor points,
provided the National executive board
of the union approves action to this
effect by district officers.
The National board is made the final
power so far as the union is concerned,
but it is expressly forbidden to modify
the wage demands.

BY some members the effort to ex-
punge the record is taken as an indi-
cation that Republicans of New York
state are planning to rally under the
leadership Of Colonel Roosevelt.
BY their spectacular fight in the
house of representatives the republican
insurgents have gained absolutely no
practical concession. They have abol-
ished the old committee on rules, con-
sisting Of five members, and substitut-
ed for it committee of 10, but the
relative strength of majority and min
ority remains the same, and the insur-
gents are without representation on
the committee.
Director Newell, of the reclamation
service today appeared before the ways
and means committee in practical OPP
position to the administration bill,
making available $50, 600, 900 to hasten
the completion of the government irri-
cation projects. He said that about
81, 700, 900 a year now coming into the
reclamation fund would complete pend
ing projects.
Newell did not, in SO many woros,
object to the bill. He said, however,
that the government today had consid-
cradle land under irrigation for which it
had been impossible thus far to find
settlers. His intimation was that, if
this $50, 900, 900 is made available, it
would food the market with irrigated
land and the government would be
years in getting settlers to settle upon
it.

QUICK ACTION OR STRIKE.
Bituminous Coal Miners in East viii
Fight for Raise.


Cincinnati, March 30.-Only imme-

great industrial war, numerous and
widespread strikes in the bituminuos
coal mines, according to action taken
by special committee Of the United
Mine Workers here late today, follow
ing the final disagreement and dissolu-
ton of the joint conference of the cen
tral competitive field.
The terms proposed by the miners
for the continuation Of work after the
expiration of the present agreements
at midnight Thursday will admit of no
compromise so far as wages are con-
cerned. On other questions there is
room for agreement and the general
trend Of opinion is that no lengthy sus-
pension will be the result except in a
few fields.
The most threatening aspect over
shadows Pennsylvania and Illinois sec
tions. Briefly, the miners demand that

! washington, March 29. - While
there has been conservation of natural
resources at the presidential spigot,
there has been enormous waste going
on at the congressional bung," de-
clared Senator Chamberlain, of Ore
gon, today, speaking on the bill en-
powering the president to withdraw
public lands for forestry sites and other
purposes. Chamberlain favors the
measure, and on it he delivered his
first set speech.
The bill specifies that the president
may withdraw land for water power
sites, irrigation, forestry reserves,
classification or other public purposes.
In giving his reasons for favoring
the measure, Chamberlain said that
first, the main principle involved, the
right of the president to withdraw
portions of the public domain from en-
try, settlement or sale, had been ap-
proved by every department of the gov
ernment from the earliest days.
The exercise of power necessary to
protect from legislative improvidence
what was left of the public domain
made the bill advisable, he declared.
He argued that it was necessary to
conserve undisposed and inappropriate
ed natural resources and favored the
bill as the best plan for accomplishing
this purpose.
The house today by vote of 125 to
Ga voted in favor of thorough investi-
cation of the charges that ship sub
sidy lobby is operating in Washington
for the purpose of influencing congress-
men in favor of ship SUBSIDY. The
action is a result of complaint by
Representative Steenerson, of Mime
sofa, that he had been attacked by
Cleveland newspaper which he believed
to be an organ of a ship subsidy lobby.
Washington, March 28.-The move
ment for the transfer of water power
sites from the National government to
the several states and territories took
shape today when Senator Smoot in
troduced bill for that purpose. Con
trary to general expectations the bill
will provide for the leasing of power
sites by the states and would not per-
nit their sale under any conditions. 1t
would provide for transfer to a state
whenever it was shown to the satisfac-
tion of the secretary of the interior
that any tract of land was chiefly val
liable as power site.
A caucus of the house Republicans is
to be called for next week to arrange
the programme of putting through that
body the administration measures
now pending. This was agreed upon
at the White house to day. The ques-
tion of the caucus was taken up this
morning, when Representatives Town
send and Hamilton Fish conferred with
the president.
The senate committee on judiciary
decided to make favorable report on
the nomination of Robert M. Montgom-
cry, of Michigan, presiding Judge; Will
liam H. Hunt, of Montana; James F.
Smith, of California; Orion M. Bar
Der, of Vermont, and Marion de Vries,
of California, as judges of the new
customs court of appeals.
Senator Beveridge today presented
to the senate the report of the commit
tee on territories favoring his bill in
preference to that passed by the house,
for the admission of New Mexico and
Arizona as separate states. The re-
port defends the changes made by the
senate committee in vigorous language,

Aretandsr Is Very Sorry.

Rugby Optimist: 1t will be
remembered that John w. Arc
tander, the noted Minneapolis
lawyer, was through this Sec
ton of the country last winter,
disposina. of shares in the Col
orado River and Dredging COM
pany. It seems that the COM
pany had located part of the
river that was absolutely lined
with gold. and they proposed
TO put a big dredge out there
and dip itup by ystf1e bucketful.
Yon6 had fto be a native born or
q direct descendant of the an
icient Vikings in order to even
invest your money in this great
enterprise. John w. was very
careful to see that only his own
countrymen got in on the daz-
zling deal, and as a result,
many of them were convinced
that he was peddling the real
article and several thousand
dollars were invested by prom
inent Norwegian citizens all
over the country. This week
they received cad news from a
personal, tear-stained letter
from Mr.. Arctander, relating
the unfortunate situation which
compelled the insolvency of the
company. OF course the fail
ure was in no wise due to any
negligence of Mr.. Arctander.
He performed his part faith
fully and to the letter. He
took in the money. But the
gold in the bottom of the river
was of such a peculiar nature
that the screens would not
hold it, and as fast as it was
dished up, in great, glittering
scoopful's It slid back into the
river and disappeared from
view. OF course that was not
Arctander's fault. Another
misfortune was the complete
disappearance Of an island in
the river which they purchased
which contained all kinds Of
gold. They went down to start
operations on the island and 10
and behold. it had disappeared
entirely. That was not Arc
tander' s fault eitherbut those
around here who invested are
real sorry that Mr.. Arctander
lost his entire personal fortune
in the enterprise. Too bad!
