We're with the aequiescence of Senator
Sutherland, in charge of the bill.
The principal changes, made during

compensation for accidental injury and
death of railroad employees shall con-
tinue to children until they are l6 years
old and would extend payment in the
case of daughters until they are 20, un-

provide medical service for the injured
and means for money recovered proper
toned to the pay of the victim. 1t is

SCENE Of ROBBERS
OPERATIONS SHIFTS
. TO THE SOUTHEAST
duplicate Key" Worker
Gets Jewelry In P. B.
Adams Apartment.

The duplicate key" worker who has
been robblng homes and apartments in
the northwest section of the city for
more than two months mas apparently
shifted the scene of his operations
Following the report OF four robbe"-
les and one attempted robbery in the
northwest Wednesday afternoon and
evening, +. B. Adams complained to
the police of the Fifth precinct early
today that his apartment in the Sc
ward, Fourth street and Pennsylvania
avenue southeast, was entered sdurinS
the absence Of members of the family
last night, and jewclry valued at so
stolen.
AS has been the case with most of
the other robberies, Mr.. Adams apart
mont was entered by means of a dupli-
cate key. The thief displayed his us
ual discretion IN carrying away the
loot, leaving all bulky articles undis-
tur6ed and taking only such things as
could be easily carried and disposed
of without much difficulty.
Detectives who are working on the
numerous robberies in an effort to get
some trace of the thief or thieves are
inclined to the theory that the thefts
are the work of two men working to-
gethcr. They believe the actual steal
ing is being done by one man. while
his partner stands on the outside TO
watch for the return Of the occupants
OF the home or apartment.
Another theory advanced by the po-
lice is that the thief has n woman for
and also goes around ringing door bells
and asking for fictitious persons TO
learn whether the occupants of the
place are at home.

MINERS REITERATE
CLAIMS IN REFUSING
OPERATORS OFFER
Contend There Is No Justice
In Argument Against
A. Check Off.

NEW YORK, March 15.-When the
anthracite operators and scale commit
tee of the United Mine Workers of Am
erica went into session in the Jersey
central offices today, the miners
promptly handed the employers their
rejection of the offer that the present
agreement be continued for three years.
In their answer the miners took di-
rect issue with the operators statement
that they have already reached the
minimum of profit because the cost of
production has been increased and there
fore they cannot meet the demands of
the men for increased wages.
The answer defends the union as an
organization and explains that it's pro-
lection Is such that the men have no
reason to object to its demand that
union dues be deducted by the pay
masters of the various mines.
The miners committee reiterated to
the operators their nine original de-
mands, which. they again insisted, were
absolutely justified.
Their defense of the cheCk-off system
which the operators have claimed would
be contrary to the Pennsylvania law,
which demands that all wage-earnGrs
be paid in cash, is particularly en-
phatic.
They call the attention of the ope-
rators to the fact that in the hard coal
district the owners are already check
ing off from the wages of the miners
the cost of the powder and other sup
plies which they are obliged to pur-
chase.
"If you cannot check off the union
dues because you fear you would ViU-
why do you violate the law by checking
off this money!
