SEE TROUBLE AHEAD
UNITED NINE WORKERS INSIST
ON HIGHER WAGES.
FRAMING UP NEW A SCHEDULE
Miners, According to Reports, Deter
mined not to Yield, and Great
Industrial Struggle Re-.
earded Probable.

Indiana polls. lnd.-One OF the great
nst Industrial battles in the history of
the United States impends. in the be-
lief of the leaders of the united mine
workers of Atneica. The convention
of the organization. which has been
in session in this city for W weeks.
will adjourn Monday night, and ii is
probable that n majority Of the 100
delegates Immediately will depart for
Toledo for the Joint conference with
the bituminous coal mine owners OF
western Pennsylvania. OHIO and In
diana, which will open Tuesday. This
conference is specially for the purpose
OF negotiating a wage contract Tor
these districts, to &c into effect April
l. But as the tri.state contract in all
the other districts of the United States
and Canada ii may he determined that
most Or all of the soft coal miners rep
| re%sentatives assembled here should
take part in the Toledo conference.
The operators. according to reports.
will not yield to the miners demands
for an increase in wages. and some of
them have taken the stand that econ
omic conditions warrant a decrease.
The sentiment in the national miners
union is unanimously for Il genertl
strike If the operators refuse an in
crease in wages Of at least 10 per cent.
The western PENNSYLVANIA delegates
stand for a 90 per cent increase on the
ground that the settlement OF their
recent strike against the Pittsburg
Coal company resulted in a decrease
of 10 per cent from the wage con.
tract signed by the last joint tri.state
conference.
The faction in the united mine
workers opposed to the administration
of President Lewis charges him with
responsibility for the alleged decrease
in wages in western Pennsylvania.
Francis Fcehan, president of the
western Pennsylvania district. Is IN
Of the leaders of the anti-Lewis ele-
ment. The wage scale committee Of
the miners union will bring in its re-.
port NJ the opening Of the session Of
MONDAYS convention. and ii is said the
day will be spent in formulating the
contract that is to be presented to
the miners On Tuesday.

Cock Held as a Witness.

San Antonio. TeXI-There are sew
eral features in the celebrated Cook
case which due TO ignorance of Meyi-
ran Jurisprudence, are not generally
understood in the United States. In
the first place, Cook is not being held
without trial. and second his legal
status is more that of a witness than
of an indicted criminal. Peculiar as
such a law may appear to people in
the United States. It NAV be seen from
article 272 of the penal code OF the
state of Jplisco that it is perfectly lie.
gal to keep a suspect imprisoned for
a period Ct six months and ever long
er, with the proviso that all confine-
ment exceeding six months shall ulti.
mately be deducted from any term of
imprisonment the court may impose.

Walthill. Neb.-Thc Omaha Indians
well as unaniEous On any subject as
they are at this time with respect TO
their relation to tho government.
Three special councils have been held
lately to consider the question. All
have been largely attended and unani-
nous action has been taken at each,
namely, in demanding deeds to In
dian lands. opposition to the placing
OF farmers" in charge Of Indian In
tcrests. and opposition to a joint agent
with the Winnebagos.
The last council, held a week ago.
was attended by about 200 Omahas
who came from all parts OF the reser.
walton. At that gathering all action
taken at previous meetings was con
frmed and a committee of five was ap-
pointed to visit Washington and lay
the grievances OF the tribe before au-
thorities there. taking them up to the
president II no satisfaction vas OBJ
tanned elsewhere. This committee
consists OF DR.. Susan LA Flesche ri.
cote. daughter of an Omaha and the
widow of a Sioux Indian: Hiram
Chase, formerly county attorney; Dan.
lei Webster, Simeon Hallowell. White
Horse.
The probationary period OF twenty
five years. at the end Of which the
Omahas were to receive patents for
their lands and become full citizens
Of the United States, expired in 1909,
when the period was extended for an
other ten years. This disappointment
weighs heavily upon the hearts of the
Indians, for there are very many OF
them who are ambitious to be recog-
nized as full citizens of a country
where they and their ancestors have
dwelt for hundreds, perhaps thousands
of years.
The gravity of the situation, the bit
terress of the disappointment. was
emphasized at the last council held
at the agency. Then an unusual
thing occurred. For the first time in
the history Of the tribe prayer was
offered at an Omaha council.
