MINERS OUT SUNDAY
Quit at Midnight, as No Com
promise Is Reached.
CONFERENCE is FRUITLESS
Subcommittee Fails in Effort to Ad-
judicate Differences.
ALMOST 100000 AFFECTED
Contracts in Four States Hold, How
ever, and About 900, 900 Non
Unionists Are Not Involved.


CLEVELAND. Ohio. March 2s-Hope
OF averting a widespread coal strike in
the United States, beginning next Mon
DAY, centered today in a subcommittee
which had been appointed by bituminous
operators and miners to agree, if possible,
on compromise wage scale.
All other means of agreeing had failed
and it was said that unless a compromise
was effected soop $4,000 miners in the
bituminous fields would quit Sunday mid
night and the suspension would be, in
effect. a strike.
The subcommittee this afternoon an
nounced it was unable to agree and it
would so report to the full conference
arguments had brought about a con-
tfnuatfon of the deadlock, as operators
and miners repeated their positions Of
week ago.
AS for the 175OOO miners in the an
thracite fields of PENNSYLVANIA. it was
announced by national union officials to-
day that a strike there next Monday now
was unavoidable. No steps toward re-
uniting the anthracite miners and
operators had been taken since they
March 13.
Almost 100000 Affected.
Jointly the wage disputes involve
threatened strike of almost $4,000 min
ers. and the shutting down Of almost
every unionized coal mine in the coun-
try.
The miners in the anthracite fields are
distributed in Pennsylvania as follows:
Lackawanna and Wyoming valley. 5000:
Hazleton and Panther Creek valley, 49,
GOO; Pottsville and Lykens valley. 60 600.
In anticipation Of a general strike union
officials today began to figure how many
men still would remain at work. 1t was
announced that practically all the an
thracite mines would be closed. but that
in the case Of the bituminous mines there
would be exceptions.
The union contracts in Wyoming, Mon
tana. Washington and Colorado do not
expire April 1, and the men therefore
would remain at work there. The con-
tracts in the southwestern field. embrace
ing Oklahoma, Arkansas. Kansas and
Missouri, require sixty days notice be-
fore the men may suspend.
The non-union mines of the country.
which would not necessarily be involved
employ about 100000 men.

What is Beer

THE question agitating the minds of some of the Con-
gressmen is What is Beer. II recollection does not fail, beer
is a product made by a brewer from alfalfa, barley, corn and a
few other things including hops. That is just recollection. 1t
generally when applied in Quantity results in a morning
spent in the police court, with an empty pocket book, innumer-
able sore spots on the head, and an inclination to drag the boy
off the water wagon and hang tight for a year. Beer also
made Milwaukee famous and a good many aldermen drunk.
Beer is booze. and when treated right is all right but it can
also leave a terrible dark taste the next morning. 1t makes the
brewer richer and the printer poorer.

1t Was Expected

THE Reno journal, a supposedly Democratic paper, mas
split its blankets and thrown one over George Bartlett, the IN
dependent candidate for Supreme Judge. The paper advocates
his election mainly because he is an independent. AT the side
of this Homecoming article appears a column boost for the Dem
ocratic Presidential nominee. 1t is simply the ways of the Jour
nal.
George Bartlett is not Democrat. This has been proven
Had he been such he would have faced the issues along with the
other candidates. He has east his old love adrift and is now
neither a Bull Moose, a Democrat or a Republican; just wants
the Office.
This talk of taking the Judiciary out of politics is the mer-
est rot. as there are just as good men in either party or parties
as those who would be without a rudder. Mr.. Bartlett has re
ceived too many political hOnOrs at the hands of the Democracy
of Nevada for them to stand this kind of treatment and pat him
gether.

NOW that the Progressive convention is over and all the

fere with a British subject and should such follow there will be
something doing. 1t is hoped that between the time of election
and the present convention Uncle Samuel will look into a few
difficulties along the border line.

THE announcement of the Gazette editor that Senator Nix

clare the principals of that party. The Republicans will heave
a sigh of relief and the Democratic press can stop its specula-

Doing the Work

NO matter what the outcome of the Progressive move
ment i'm Nevada, it has one good effect, it wakes up the citizens
and gets them in action. The advent of the third party has had
the effect of bringing about unusual confusion in the nomination
Of candidates for Office. Should the vote fall short of what is
promised it even then will have had the effect of making the
citizens shout, and when they shout they are at least awake.
The Bull Moose has already done some good along such lines.
