Orders OF Mine Workers Off
GERS Generally 0beyed.
FIGHT TO Be ON RECOGNITION
Operators Expected to Offer 10 Per
Cent Increase of Wages, but Min
ers viii Hold Out for Recoe-
milton of Union.

Wilkesbarre, Pa, April 2-That the
suspension order has been generally
obeyed, that only the engineers and
pump runners are at work and that
none of the collieries are making any
effort to mine coal, is the state of al,
fairs reported by the mine workers
leaders
Officials of the big coal companies
Were not making any attempt to in
duce men to work and that only
enough steam to run the pumps and
the fans was maintained at the mines
1t is expected that some of the indie
pendents or the smaller companies
may try to mine some coal.
Patrols eff the state constabulary
kept on the move through the mining
towns. but there was no call for their
services. Coed order prevailed gen
orally. number of imported men
were taken to some of the collieries
to act as guards, but they were not
molested.
John NJ. Mack. secretary-treasurer OF
the Wilkesharre-S Scranton district re-
turned here from Cleveland. He pre-
dicted that the operators will offer d
fiat Increase OF 10 per cent when the
Philadelphia conference is held.
From the viewpoint of the union
leaders a wage increase will not be
sufficient to restore peace. The union
will waive all demands if recognition
is granted. Officials of the union be-
lieve that the struggle will settle il
self down to a question OF recogni-
ton, the men strongly advocating it
on the one side and the companies
bitterly opposing it on the other.
According to Macks statements
President White is playing a diplo-
matte game with President Baer. He
declared that kilograms which had
been exchanged between these of
ticials had not been made public for
the reason that each was waiting for
the other to move. Certain condl-
tons" said Mack, were so distorted
by New York newspapers that it was
made to appear that the miners were
res ponsible for the breaking off of ne
gotiations. To show that we were
not responsible President White sug-
gested another conference and the pol
icy committee stood back of him.
White telegraphed to Baer and when
the latter accepted the invitation to
another conference he did it with two
provisos. The kilograms exchanged
We're not made public because White
expected Baer would take this step,
and Baer evidently expected the same
thing of White, 1t is a little diplo-
matte game in which White has moved
carefully and cleverly."

STATE DEPARTMENT URGES MEXICO TO
JOIN IN LARGER PLAN FOR CONTROL
OF THE LOWER COLORADO RIVER

further action and expenditure of
money exists. | do not make a def
mite recommendation at present, for
the reason that the plan to be adopt
ed for the betterment of conditions
near the mouth of the Colorado river
proves to be so dependent on a free
and full agreement between the gov
ernment of Mexico and the government
of the United States as to joint eX-
penditure and joint use that it is un-
wise to move until we can obtain some
agreement with that government which
will enable us to submit to congress
a larger plan, better adapted to the
eXigencies presented than the one
adopted. 1t is essential that We act
promptly, and through the state de-
partment the matter is being pressed
upon the attention of the Mexican gov
eminent. Meantime, a report Of the
engineer in charge, together with a
substantial report upon his work by a
body Of experts appointed by the sec
retary of the interior, together with
an offer by the Southern Pacific rail
road to do the work at a certain
price, with guaranty for a year, and
comment upon this offer by Brig
Gen. Marshall, late chief of engineers,
United States army, and now consult
ing engineer of the reclamation SER
vice, are all herewith transmitted"
Imperial Valley press., 1912-02-02

OF deep interest to residents>of I'M
perial valley is that portion of the
message of President Taft to congress,
delivered today, that refers to Imperial
valley. President Taft says that
through the state department, larger
plan, better adapted to the eXigencies
presented than the one adopted in the
attempted control of the lower Colo
RADIO river, is being urged upon the
attention of the Mexican government
and that an agreement with the Mex
lean government for such work is be-
ing urged. This portion of the mes
sage says:
There is transmitted herewith a
letter from the secretary of the inte-
rior setting out the work done under
joint resolution approved June %, 1910,
authorizing the expenditure of $1,000,-
coo, or SO much thereof as might
be necessary, to be expended by the
president for the purpose of protect
ing lands and property in the Imperial
valley and elsewhere along the Colo
RADIO river in Arizona. The money was
expended and the protective works
erected, but the disturbances in Mex
leo SO delayed the work, and the floods
in the Colorado river were so extern
sive, that a part of the works have
been carried away, and the need for
Imperial Valley press., 1912-02-02

to do with our lack of success in the
Christian life. 1t is not strange that
many people fail in their effort to live
the Christian life, for you meet fail
ures in every business and profession
in the world.
The first lion ! want to mention is
the habit of fault finding. Many well
meaning Christians drive their child
ren into skepticism by their fault find
ing. They are chronic grumblers. They
go home from church to criticise the
preacher, to find fault with the SER
mon and with everything else, until
their children are utterly disgusted.
To knock is the easiest thing in
the world, and takes very little brains.
What every one ought to be is a
booster" and not a "knocker.'
The next lion we have to deal with
is Indifference The Indifference of
Christians regarding the salvation of
others, and even of their own dear
ones, is appalling. The world has a
right to doubt our sincerity if we show
no interest in the spiritual welfare of
others.
Another lion that most of us have
to overcome is man fear, afraid of
what some one may think or say about
us. Pardon a personal allusion. When
| was converted, | was the most awk-
ward, ungainly looking fellow the Lord
ever made, | know. and the evangelist
Imperial Valley press., 1912-02-02

was in the habit of calling on the
converted ones in the next meeting for
their testimony, and so ! knew what
was coming. After | had conquered
the first lion, giving myself to Christ,
! went home, sat down and wrote out
and memorized testimony to give
in the next meeting, and when he
called on me l stood up and could
not say a word. l had forgotten all
of it. He called on me the next night
and the next and after FIVE days, OH
Sunday morning, when the little
church was just packed to overflow
ing, the evangelist said, Brother
Brown will please lead us in prayer"
There was that lion staring me in
the face, but | determined to kill it,
SO | got down on my knees and prayed
as if the house was on fire. On the
way home | determined I would kill
that lion for once and all. | could
take you to the very tree right now,
where | knelt down and fought it out
and | killed it, and | have been tes-
tifying for the Lord ever since.
The last lion that we have to deal
with is selfishness. The most un-
selfish person that ever lived on this
earth was the Lord Jesus Christ. The
more | read the word of God, the more
| see His utter unselfishness.
Following the story of Samson we
ind that he went back to the carcass
of the lion and found it filled with
honey. | can just see him eating
that honey and giving it TO others.
never killed a lion in my life but what
| found there was honey in the car
cass and l think | have killed about
10000, and you will always find there
is honey in the carcass.

Jack Welsh, that Wolgast won by
knockout was disputed by Rivers
and the thousand spectators.

driving a blow for Wolgast's jaw.
Wolgast previously had struck Riv-

down on top of Rivers, groaning.
Wolgast was rolled off Rivers, his
features convulsed.

Tom Jones, said he did not believe
the foul was intentional. Jones said
that Wolgast fell over Rivers when
