elsewhere. 1t is unlikely that the

The postal authorities preserve tele-
grams for a certain time. and then they
are destroyed In the destruction there
is sometimes d leakage. This was the
case about 1898, when Nissen purchased
sd me used te1egra PHI stamps. When the
stamps were critically examined he
saw that they were forgeries, and then
for the first time the authorities learned
of the fraud. The stamps which Nfssen
bought were of plate No. 5.
Now Lewis May, another stamp
dealer1 has come across a forgery of
plate No. s.. The latter forged plate is
an improvement of plate No. s. and
shows that the forger had detected de-
fects, and had done his best to remedy
them. To show the extent of the for
gerry it may be stated that in the lot of
used stamps purchased in 1898 over a
hundred were used on one day. Those
who knew the early stamps will re-
member that each corner bore control
letter. BY some means the forger did
not combine his letters properly and
it is significant that if two shilling

ing stamp was used together with two
sixpenny stamps. Further, the forged
stamps being we'll Cancelled, the dis

COAL MINERS DEMAND IMMEDI.
ATE INCREASE OR WILL GO
ON STRIKE.
$4,000 IN ILLINOIS
DEMAND ADVANCE OF S CENTS
PER TON FOR PICKED MINE
SCREEN COAL.

Cincinnati, March 29.-Only immedi-
ate increase III wages will prevent
numerous and widespread strikes in
the bituminous coal mines, according
TO action taken by special committee
OF the United Mine Workers here late
today, following the final disagreement
and dissolution of the joint conference
OF the central competitive fields. The
terms proposed by the miners for the
continuation Of work after the erpira-
ton OF the present agreements at mid
night Thursday will admit of no com
promise so far as the wages are con-
cerned. On other questions, there is
room for agreement and the general
trend Of opinion tonight is that no
lengthy suspension will be the result
except in few fields.
The most threatening aspect over
shadows Pennsylvania and Illinois sec
tons.
Briefly the miners demand that the
operators agree to pay the advanced
wages Of . cents ton for picked
mined screen coal. with proportionate
advances for other methods of mining
and outside labor, as prerequisite to
negotiations on the questions.
With the advance assured. work
may be continued in the mines af-
fected 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.
st. Louis.-Sixty thousand miners in
the Illinois coal fields will stop work
Thursday night, when their contract
with the mine operators expires.
The men employed in the mines have
demanded increases in wages varying
from thirty-five to seventy-nine per
cent. The miners proper have re-
Quested an advance in pay of three
cents ton The operators have been
urged also to pay the shot f!rers'
which they have not done in the past.
their compensation being derived
from the miners general funds.
The gross amount OF the increase
demanded is. according to the oper
ators, approximately sl4,o00.00o
year. While the operators are pre-
pared to grant some increase they de-
clare that they will not accede to the
demand that they pay the shot firers.
Late Wednesday night President
Lewis issued a signed statement re-
viewing the outlook and predicting
peace except in a few instances.
Des Moines.-Iowa mines will sus-
pend operations at o'clock Thursday
afternoon. This was announced on
Tuesday by the mine workers, on re-
ceipt of word that the Cincinnati con-
ference had been adjourned.
Kansas City.-No agreement is in
sight between the Southwestern Coal
Mine Operators Association. including
Missouri, Kansas. Arkansas and Okla
homa, and the coal miners organiza-
ton. and a general strike is expected
April LIST.
St. Louis.-Mines which produce 50.-
100000 tons OF coal annually in Illi-
nois will close down Saturday night.
Negotiations toward new contracts
will begin in Chicago next Monday.
No shortage OF coal is expected If tho
mines do not reopen in two months.
