LONDON. March 22-Thc settle mcnt of the British coal strike seems to depend on the results of a con ference between representatives of the owners and miners, who have been summoned by Premier Asquith to convene Monday. Meanwhile, the house of commons proceeded no fur ther than the committee stage with the governments h!ll designed to end the strike. This was the out come of a day of kaleidoscopic changes in the strike situation. In the debate in the house of commons the miners representatives intimatcd that if the governments bill iS amended to provide 1 daily minimum of $1.25 for adults and 5O cents for boys working underground, the min CTS would not insist on the inclusion of their entire schedule. This may mean a speedy passage of the m"as-i urc and the settlement of the strike. Premier Asguith, however. refused ;p accept the labor amendment to this effect. or to put any rates in the bill. and Enoch Edwards. Ianor member and president of the miners federation of Great Britain. said th, government had closed the door when it had left open the previous night.
 Another representative of the min CTS said the refusal meant if tha bill was passed as il stood, the min CTS would not return to work unti the schedule of mini,nuT wages is settled in every coal f:eid in tho kingdom. It was apparently an in surmountallc obstacle tEa- had been encountered. Then followed rcgo- tiations in the lobby. 8 conference or the cabinet. miners Lrd raal run- CTS, and meetings between I5rlia- mentary labor leaders and miners executives. All were secret
 There was an announcement later that the house of lords would meet tonight and pass on first reading the bill, from which it was inferred that all snags had been cleared away and the bill would be rushed through so as to receive the royal assent to- morrow and enable the men to re-
 turn to work Monday
 Sanguine anticipations however. were replaced by gloomy rebodingS
 when the premier announced the change in the governments program
 in respect to the passage of the bill He said in the course of his discussion of the measure that the points at issue had been narrowed and that the main outstanding point was that the minimum be $1.25 and 90 cents. He added that the govern
 ment had decided it was better to call conference of the owners and | the men Monday. and hoped the diff | faculties between the two parties on ] this point would be still further mar rowed by that time. The premier announced that the house would be | adjourned until Monday after the bill had passed the committee stage

 BOOSTER HERE
l.. R. Barrows Arriv ed From San Diego Tester day to Tell All His Ari- zona Friends About the Coming Big Show

Among the arrivals in Phoenix yes terday was LuCiuS R. BarrOWs of san Diego. al one time member of the leg isIatiVe assembly of Arizona. some time resident of Prescott and a long time employe of The Arizona Repub- lican as foreman of it's mechanical department. where he did good ser vice. even though he was and is d democrat. Mir. BarrowS is now super irtendent of the mechanical depart ment of the san Diego Union which issues both morning and evening newspapers and has come to be some institution, in fact the main publicity artery of the Panama California eX position. among the daily papers.
 MT. Barrows is also something be side his newspaper job and il is that sunething which brings him over to Arizona at this time He is a di rector of the big San Diego show that is to be and he is now in Ari- zona on q boosting expedition. He stated confidentially last night that he is not yet q millionaire and was not made a director solely because of his wealth. but some of the directors are in pretty easy circumstances and MT Barrows is not wanting for a meal ticket. nor is he here to demand any appropriation of the Arizona leSisla- ture.
 His mission is solely to tell the Arizona people both inside and outside of the legislature what d magnificent show il is going to be. and that any body who misses it will regret it al- ways More to the point. Arizona will overlook something unless the state is frtingIy represented both by it's people and by an exhibit in Ari- zoua's nearest seaport town, showing the hundreds of thousands who will trail through san Diego in 1915, just what kind of d paradise this new state $.
 san Diego is already booming Its population is now estimated at 10000 and MT. Barrows believes the csti- mate js conservative and that il will be no great length of time until those figures will be doubled. People are bling in at the rate of 800 day ana most of them are preparing to stay for the big show. Most of thos" who stay that bong it iS expected will de-
 
 eide to make il d life residence. Tn" hotels are overflowing and lodging houses are going up numcrously anu fast and filling as fast as habitabie.
 But san Diego says MT Barrows. will have something to offer besides people It will have one of the big gest shows on earth and one that in his opinion should be especially patronized by Arizona by reason of the certain community of interest that is to exist after the carly completion of the connecting railroad on which work is now progressing at both ends. The exposition will be in the big park at the upper end of the city. q beautiful site for it by nature, and it will be improved with magnificent buildings. lakes drives and other or namentatiOn. All manner of accom- modations will be offered those who send exhibits whether by county, state. or privately and it is MT Barrows' mission to give out all the inforna- ton he can and help along the big boost which he believes will be mu- tuaIIy profitable at both ends of the game

are investigating the alleged existence
OF a coal combination in the Lake Su-
perior district. which II Is said has de-
clined to sell coal to several towns on

legged that the coal combination de-
clined to sell coal to the municipal
yard, but would furnish a supply only
TO coal dealers. Mr.. Steenerson has in
troduced a resolution asking for the
appointment OF a special commission
to make an investigation. His resoIu-
tion has been referred to the Commit
tee on Rules. 1t is also understood
that the Department of Justice has
also started an inquiry.
