Miners STRIKE
BEGINS SUNDAY;
NO COMPROMISE
Operators Refuse to Give In
crease of Five Cents a Ton
for All Coal Mined
Threatened Suspension Entails
Loss. in Wages of Million
Dollars a Day

CLEVELAND, o., March 2S.-There Is
little prospect of settling the bitumin-
Gus coal miners wage dispute to pre-
vent a strike next Monday and the
shutting down of practically all mines
operated by union men.
This grim fact was evident today
after the mine owners and union OH
GERS conferred for hours and failed to
agree
The lack of concessions and the fact
that only three more days intervene
before both the anthracite and bitumin-
Gus wage scales expire made it almost
certain that a widespread stoppage of
coal production would begin next week
for an uncertain period and a strike
involving about 100000 men may ensue.
Anthracite miners in Pennsylvania
will quit Sunday at midnight, when
their agreements expire. The union
officials say the suspension virtually
will be a strike.
The contract of the miners in the
bituminous regions also expire Sunday
at midnight. and they probably will
suspend because they have no new
agreement.
Union officers asert that if a strike
in both classes of mines is called. 1t

Something that surprised the men

there was a Mrs. Voter there was Mr.

OF course the balloting was unusually
easy. There was only one proposition

dignation of an ardent suffragist at
one polling place, and she read the
election officers somewhat of a lecture,
telling them that you men have given

thing mysterious, requiring long study
and special knowledge, about voting.
Why, it's so easy that It's too .easyt"

activities of San Francisco Yesterday
just as naturally as If she had voted
ever since balloting was first thought
of. If there We're any men who looked
for some sort of a cataclysm to mark
the day they were completely disap-
pointed Except for the fact that sew

and that most of the male election of

passed just as uneventfuIly as any

day was enlivened by the cracking of

In fully 100 precincts the first votes
were cast by women. All these early
birds were seeking the worm known as.

So voted San Francisco yesterday
on the proposition as to whether
bonds should be issued in the sum
of S,SO0,00O for the creation of civic
center for San Francisco.
Mea and women marched to the
polls-for the first time joining in an
expression of opinion as to the polit-
ical affairs of the CITY, There is no
doubt but the male voters would have
returned handsome majority in fa-
vor of the municipal work. so ably
advocated by Mayor James Rolph Jr.,

was they did their part well. but the
women exercising for the first time

In favor of the bond issue.
San Francisco on Record
The total vote cast was 45133 for
the bonds and 4.035 against the bonds
These figures meant that the propo-
sition had carried by a vote of more

sition city, went on record as favor
ing the expenditure of millions for
the purchase OF sites and the erection
of buildings which will provide this
city with structures for its municipal
departments by the time the expo
sition gates are thrown open to the
world in 1915, which will be monu-
ments of the progressive spirit OF
the metropolis of the Pacific coast.
No part of San Francisco can claim
exclusive credit for the great victory

patriotic sentiment that sent the voter

War Is On to Defeat Bill Ex-

| Special Dispatch 10 The Call


| Special Dispatch 10 The Call
WASHINGTON, March 2S.--The rivers
and harbors congress. which has repre-
sentatives in every community in the
country, is starting@a nation wide cam
paign in favor of free tolls through the
Panama canal
The bill recently offered by Martin of
Colorado, providing for charging tolls
on all waterways of the United States,
has stirred up the waterway interests.
They fear that If tolls are charged at
Panama 1T will be the entering wedge
for tolls on all shipping on rivers and
harbors on the pretext of reimbursing
the government for waterway improve
ments.
Schwerin Fights Bill
Vice President r. p. Schwerin of the
Pacific Mail is making a desperate fight
against the section of the canal bill
which excludes railroad owned ships
from the canal A campaign is being
worked up among the big business in
terests and letters are coming in to
congressman asking them. II they can
not ease up a little and permit the
railroads to run their ships through the
canal so long as they are properly reg
ulated
In spite of the fact that the inter-
state commerce commission has unani
mously reported to the president it's
opinion that there should be no regu-
lation of ocean commerce rates. the
Pacific Mail interests insist that the
commission should be empowered to
regulate water rates and that there can
be no objection to railroad ownership
OF ships so long as they are regulated.
congressman Watched
This matter is under consideration
of Attorney General wickersham at
the presidents request. William r.
Wheeler is carefully watching the at
titude of congressman and is keeping
them lined up against railroad monop-
oily of the canal.
The fight is under the surface, but
1t will flare up when the canal bill
comes up for debate. The sentiment of
the house is strongly against railroad
control. but the railroad ard financial
interests may be able to swing over
enough votes to emasculate the bill.
The claim is set forth by the Pacific
Mail that secret rebate and other evils
will prevail on the Panama route un-s
less ships are regulated the same as
railroads. This plea is having some
effect.

talked to Dr. Hatheld yesterday and
he Is delighted with the reception he
l. receiving an along the line We
get reports from every meeting. and
the only difference between them IS
that the last meeting Is always a
substantial improvement on the one
preceding.
.Dr. Hatfeld's opponent is in the
same section and reports on his
meetings are certainly pleasing to
us, however diseouraging they must
be to the Democrats. His meetings
have been small, spiritless and sew
eral times called on on account Of
the absence of an audience. It IS
my opinion that 80 far as HaSaAd
and the state ticket is concerned, it
is merely a matter Of figuring up the
size OF the pluralities. Our reports
are that the people are profoundly
interested in all our meetings and
that they seem anxious to have the
facts presented.
The prosperity OF the country, the
protective tariff, the frustrated at
tempt OF the Democratic bosses to
abolish the tax laws and to disfran-
elise thousands OF colored and white
Republican voters is the legislative
session OF 1911, and the corruption
of the legislature by the Watson,
Chiffon and MacCorkle combination,
are, according to reports from our
speakers, the subjects in which the
voters are the most interested. The
last named, our speakers say, IS tre-
mendously popular, and the audi
ences clamor for all the disgraceful
details of that shocking scandal. It
would seem, therefore, that party
bosses are no more popular with the
people of this state this year than
they are in many of the other states.
eve are surprised and delighted
that the party is ra;lying to a de-
feEse and advocacy of the protective
tariff as it is. It is destined to be
one OF the high dominant notes be-
fore election day. This is protec-
ton state and there is every reason
why it should be. The farmers and
working men are with us. The for
mer are entirely satisfied with the
high prices they are getting for
their products, and the working men
