WASHINGTON REJECTS DEVLlNS
REINFORCEMENT AS DIST. ATTY.

WASHINGTON, March 14-The re-
appointment of Robert L. DeVlin to be
United States attorney for the north
ern district of California was ordered
rejected by the senate committee on
judiciary today. Devlin has occupied
the Office for about five years, all eX-
cept one term being under recess ap-
pointment.
There is little doubt that the senate
will accept the verdict of the judiciary
committee. The case was investigated
with great thoroughhess by a subcom-
mittee which considered all of the pro-
tests against Deylin's continuance in
Office and heard a number of wit
nesses. The decision to reject the
nomination was by viva voce vote and
no member Of the full committee made
a request for a division. The result
was reached with practical unanimity
DeVin was accused OF conduct I'M
becoming a United States attorney in
the so-called Perrin Benson case. He
obtained a conviction of both Perrin
and Benson for conspiracy to defraud
the United States in the requirement
of lands in California.
The case was reversed by the federal
court of appeals and remanded back
for retrial, but before it was retired
the indictment against Perrin was dis
missed. The fight against Devlin's
confirmation was led by DIR. Perrin,
ain Arizona land and sheep owner who
charged Devlin with suppressing evil

BUT HAVE NO PLANS
SUB-SCALE COMMITTEE FAILS
TO RECOMMEND
Special Convention Is to Be Held on
Broad Llnes-Pres. Lewis Says
That Demands of Men
Will Be Granted

CINCINNATI, March 14.-Contrary
to expectations the special convention
of the United Mine Workers of Amer
lea will organize in this city tomorrow
without anything definite in view.
This state of affairs has been brought
about through the inability of the sub
of miners and operators of Ohio, In
diana and western Pennsylvania to
reach an agreement regarding the
wage scale for the coming two years,
The convention will adjourn subject
to the call of the chairman, which will
be issued when the scale committee of
the Joint conference is ready to report.
This subcommittee adjourned today to
meet tomorrow.
In speaking Of conditions tonight
President Lewis Of the miners said
81 am still convinced that there will
be no strike and that the demands of
the miners will be granted"
Mr.. Lewis declared the miners will
fight in the supreme court of the
United States the adverse decision
given Saturday at Richmond, Va. Mr.
Lewis was one Of the defendants in
the case.
"The decision, if allowed tc stand,
would be the most detrimental to Or
sanized labor of any ever handed down
in the country" he said, but it won't
stand. All through the various trials
we simply have been building the
foundation for the presentation of the
entire case to the supreme court
1.-THE injunction affects only three
mines and would not hinder us in our
efforts to close down West Virginia,
should the present Cincinnati negotia-
tions terminate unsuccessfully."

DENVER, March IA. D. Parker,
vice president and general manager of
the Colorado Southern railroad and
member Of the general managers COM
mittee, stated tonight that he had re-
ceived no information regarding the
situation in Chicago other than the
Associated Press report, and said he
could make no statement as to what
action would be taken by railroads.
Local union officials announced they
were ready to strike whenever the
order was received.
Should the men be called out it is
estimated that between 10000 and
1900 in the operating departments of
railroads in Colorado and surrounding
states will respond.

GOVERNMENT BEGINS FIGHT
IN CALIFORNIA LAND CASES

WASHINGTON. March lathe de-
partment of justice sent report to
the senate today that proceedings had
been instituted to recover lands sold
under the Oregon & California Rail
road company's land grant and that
the suits had been directed against
both the railroad and the purchasers
of the lands. It was stated that the
conditions of the grants should be re-
covered by the government
The government report was made by
Assistant Attorney General James A.
Fowler, who showed that under the
government grants 3,137000 acres were
received by the railroad. OF this
amount, 900 acres were sold and
2,117, 900 acres are still claimed under
the grant.
Mr.. Fowler says the restrictions
made by the government concerning
the sale of the land had been violated
I'm that the sales amounted to more
than the prescribed limit of 100 acres
to each purchaser. The purchasers
are 1906 in number, and it is shown
that $4,000 acres have been sold in
lots exceeding 1000 acres each.

The brotherhood has taken the posi-
tion that unless all the questions in dis

railroads today reiterated their asser-
ton that they would continue to re-

but the wage demand.

called" said o. l.. Dickson, assistant
to the president of the Chicago. Bur-
