LONG SUSPENSION IN
HARD COAL FIELD
Operators Do Not Look for Early
Settlement.

New York, April 6.-Preliminary to
the conference of the anthracite opera
tors and representatives of the mine
workers union at Philadelphia next
Wednesday a meeting of the commit
tee of ten of the coal operators will
be held in this city on April g.
The committee of ten proposes to
go over the situation carefully. The
operators say they have no expecta-
tion that a settlement of the present
differences will be had at the Phila-
delphia conference and if settle
ment is to come without strike two
or three conferences are likely. The
anthracite men here think that the
present suspension in the hard coal
regions will continue far into the
month
Should the Philadelphia conference
indicate long suspension or strike
the companies say they will exercise
great care in accepting new orders for
coal and that shipments will be su.
pervised in order to make the available
supply of fuel last as long as possible.

gressional resolutions, that the people

depend for their opinion as to the
lumber producing industry upon in
situations, unverified charges, sus-

In the petition reference is made to
the fact that while the department of

Der industry, it related only to the
private ownership of standing timber
In the United States and advanced
only one of the reasons for the al.
legged high price of lumber; that this
partial report ignored the request of
congress to report particularly as to
the existence of combinations, etc, in

ference with the president, Secretary

lower river points.
Those points which are being given
the greatest attention include the
Reelfoot Lake levee, several miles
south of Hickman, Ky. A narrow strip
of land separates the Mississippi river
from Reelfoot lake at this point and
the efforts of a thousand or more la
borers are being devoted to strength

counties I'm Northwest Tennessee.
Flood warnings have been sent tc
all points along the lower river and
thousands of refugees are seeking
temporary homes in the highlands.

New York, April 6.-Tne National

Lengthy correspondence between

the part of a great manufacturing in

RESIGNATION COMES.
Head of the Bureau of Indian Affairs
 Will Quit Ills Post.

Beverly, Mass. Sept. 10.---'i Ae resig- nation of Robert c. Valentine as com missioner of the bureau of Indian af. fairs, had been expected at the white house almost daily for weeks. Scores of letters had passed over the desks of the white house secretaries sug gesting candidates to succeed Mir. Valentine, but his formal resignation did not come up and the president had almost forgotten reports that he was to retire.
 The president and MT. Valentine differed several months ago, when MT. Taft held up an order issued by the commissioner forbidding the wearing of religious garb by teachers in In dian schools. MT. Valentines resig- nation, it was said tonight, was to be accepted when it reached the pres ident through the interior department.
 This was quite a day for the pres ident. He played golf this morning in spite of his lame ankle and took a long motor ride. A delegation in terested in the industrial commission authorized by congress at the last ses- sion, talked over it's personnel with the president He has told friends, however, that he has placed the whole matter in the hands of Secretary of Commerce and Labor Nagel.
