New York. March 5.-The anthra-
cite coal miners demands for increased
pay. recognition of the union, short
err working day and other changes
were unanimously rejected, this after
noon, by AZ operators. The operators
devoted half an hour to consideration
of the demands and adjourned sine die
after appointing a committee to ac-
quaint the United Mine Workers of
America with their decision. This
committee was clothed with full pow
er TO act for all the operators and will
formulate it's reply at meeting, next
Monday afternoon, for presentation to
the miners, on Wednesday. March IS.
The decisive action of the operators
was unexpected. 1t was believed that
the meeting would last several hours
and that compromise clause would
be suggested. At the conclusion OF
the meeting, however, one of the oper-
ators declared that the adoption of
the resolution will not prevent the
committee from making counter
proposition to the miners. The be-
lief is growing among the operators.

be compelled to increase the price of

Termination Of Bar
Harbor Battling.
Eden Town Meeting Will
Petition Legislature.
Votes to Open a Continuous
Road for Motor Cars.
Seeks Also Freedom to Open Any
Part of ANY Highways.

Bar Harhor. Me-. Mar. 5.-The war
against automobiles in Bar Harbor,
which has been successfully carried
on, since 1903. when q legislative act
prohibiting the use OF the roads was
passed, evidently has been terminated.
BY "A vote of 400 to liz in the Eden
town meeting, today, it was voted to
petition the Legislature at the spe-
cial session, on March 20. TO open one
continuous road for automobiles from
the bridge at Mt. Desert Narrows in
Trenton to a point in Bar Harbor not
moro than half mile from the Bar
Harbor post office. Another section of
he same article, which was passed,
provides that petition also be pre-
scented so that the town of Eden may
1t any legal meeting open to the use
Of automobiles and motor vehicles
any part of or the whole of any pub
lie street or highway within its linn

1t has been apparent for some time
that there has been a great change
of sentiment and as the voting pro-
ceeded, this afternoon, it was evident
the meeting was overwhelmingly in
favor of the admission of the pre-
viously Objectionable machine.
BY a legislative act passed, in 1909

authentic news as to their attitude

1.-The price of coal went up in many
sections of the city and it's environs
during the day. Wholesale and re-
tail dealers were swamped with or
ders. They justified the increased
prices by statements that the cost Il
them had been advanced on coal for
immediate delivery, and were inclined
to be pessimistic regarding the outlook.
and especially in view of the great
coal strike in England. Butuminous
coal and anthracite steam coal were
marked up from so cents to dollar
