Government Is Determined

This extract from the speech made by the prime minister to members of the na- tional a,iners' federation as reported in the pffilcal statement issued tonight con ceYiing the conference hgld today indi- fcsdes the lengths to i~btt9 fife sorefn- mont is prepared to go fo settle tlos strike. 1t is virtually an ultmatum to tne coal mine owners.
 ! Emphasizing the point. MT. Asquth said the government is determined that the minimum wage shall become part and parcel of the organization and working of the coal industry by whatever appropriate means the government can command"
 They would have been false to their duty as stewards and of trustees of the general interest of the nation, continued the pre- mier, if they did not take what steps they could to bring about a reasonable arrangement. The government felt that they were face to face with a warfare be- tween capital and labor in the coal indus try. which might paralyze all other indus tries in the country.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1912-03-01
Government Not Preiudiced

The government has started it's in- vestieation. the premier said, without prejudice of party or class bias in one direction or another. Having given the fullest and most careful eonsiderat ton to the evidence submitted by workmen, the conclusion. unanimously come to. was that a case had been made out for in surfing to the underground workers in the local industry with adequate safe guards and a reasonable minimum wage. Already a majority-certainy So per cent of the coal owners of the country had assented to the governments proposals and they did not intend that the resist ance of what he hoped was q dwindling minority of the employers, should unduiy delay the attainment of an object which
 we have satisfied ourselves is consistent with justice and the best interests of the community"
 The prime minister concluded his speech with an appeal 10 the miners to allow reasonable latitude for discussion with respect 10 fixing the minimum wage for the different districts. and not to insist upon rigid adherence to the sched- ule adopted by the miners federation. He reminded them that if they persisted in that course they assumed q terrible re- sponsibility. although il was obvious that nothing short of a miracle could avert a national coal strike.

Some Progress Made

That the government made some prog ress today is shown by the fact that the Northumberland coal operators who rejected the governments proposals yes- terday. have been persuaded to agree to the first two clauses of these proposals which in effect declare the government g peief that there are cases in which un- hergronnd workers are not able 10 earn q reasonable minimum wage and that the power 10 earn such wages should ne given by arrangements suitable to the special circumstances in each dis trict, ade1nate safeguards being provided Co protect employers against abuse. But the Northumberland coal owners added that they could not consent to nav 4 minimum wage. irrespective Of ahslitv and disposition to earn such A wage
 The miners are confident that fine pasr- ton taken by the government assures them ultimate victory. Said one of their leaders.
 We have won. Whatever hapDens yxe have forced the government to recorni,.. the principle of a minimum wage They may be unable to enforce it at present. there may be hades before the owners climb down. but sooner or later they will have to do it.

PIMA COUNTY
 ROAD BUILDING
Will Spend Five Thousand Dollars on BOrderland Route Between Bisbee
 and Tucson
WORKING PRISONERS

The board of supervisors are plan- ning to do much road work this win Ter both on the county roads and upon the state highways. The pro gram they have mapped out will keen men working all winter and by spring Pima county roads win be in first class condition
 ft is expected that work on the state highways will begin about De. cember and that county road work will be pushed from now on until it is completed The supervisors will have Sl5.00a to spend on the state highways in the county and will have a good sum for county roads.
 County prisoners are now being worked on the county roads and 1t is the intention of the supervisors to keep the prisoners at work all winter. Those who receive jail Sen tences this winter will earn their board and keep by helping build good roads.
 The members of the board went out Wednesday with w. c. Goetz. county surveyor, to look over county roads and to determine about where cul- yerts will be needed on certain pieces of county roads. The culverts used will be of the corrugated iron variety. Today the board will make a trip to the south.
 tt is intended by the board 10 spend S5.O00 of tho the S15.000 availA able from state tax on the road be- tween here and Oracle. They will build it only to the county line and P.nal county will take care of it from there 10 Florence and on toward phoenix. On the read between here and Nogales 5000 will be spent and a like sum on the road between here and Bisbee These are all state highways and the s15,000 can be spent on no other roads. The state engineer has decided that the state highways are intended to connect towns and are not to be run in crooked lines in order to reach some ranch The state highway will be a route as direct as possible between towns and the county must build the roads connecting the state highways with ranches and smaller towns if this is desired.
 The campaign mapped out by the supervisors is a good one and will meet with the approval Of every per son who is interested in improve. ments in the county. Nothing helps like good highways.

HAVE NARROW ESCAPE
 FROM DEATH IN RAIN
Hail and Floods of Water Nearly Surround Doug
 las Party in Autos

Some people from Douglas who went to Silver Creek last Sunday report that they had great trouble, and two of them 6 narrow escape from death, as the result of the awful storm of rain and hail which at Silver Creek amounted to nearly a cloudburst
 They left Douglas early Sunday morning. and the greater number of the party were unable to return until Monday.
 Those composing the party were: Judge A. Y. Wright and his son. W. R. Gabriel, c. R. Scott and wife and son, Miss Smith and a young man employed by sMr. Scott. They went in two autos.
 In the afternoon they went out on a hunt and enjoyed a good time until a little after three o'clock. when the storm came. It was Judge Wright and son who had the narrow escape from death When they noted the storm becoming se- were they went to get the two autos which had been left fin the bed of a dry creek.
 By strenuous efforts they got the cars and started away, and just behind them came a tremendous wall of water carrying boulders, and everything before 1t. Had they been caught they would have been swept down the valley with theif machines like two paper boats and lost their lives.
 The party were unable to cross the stream until after eight o'clock at night They spent the night at ranch house. Judge Wright and Messrs. Scott and Gabriel returned to Douglas safely the next day. and the remainder of the party followed later.

WANTS CAMPA
 ID FACE TRIAL
l.. G. Smith of Cananea De clares Rebel Chief Has Committed Numerous
 Murders in State
BRIDGES DESTROYED

TUCSON, Oct 4.-That there are plenty of crimes for when Rebel Gen. eral Emilio Campa who is held by the United States in the county jail in Tucson, can be held answerable, Is stated in a letter received Tuesday from l.. G. Smith, of Cananea, who claims considerable familiarity with the rebel chief and his movements prior to the time when he crossed the line and surrendered at Robles ranch to United States Marshal c. A Overlook
 The pertinent portion of Smiths letter follows:
 "The extradition treaty between the United States and Mexico pro yides that any person who has stolen a horse or any other article worth S25 or over. or has committed a murder is subject to extradition
 Campa has committed numerous murders in Chihuahua, he personally and through his band of marauders. He has also stolen thousands of head of cattle and horses and destroyed considerable property Recently in Sonora at different times Campa de stroyed the Nacozari. Canauea and Sonora railroads. causing tremendous losses to those American enterprises. The last raid of Campa took place at Casita on the Sonora R. R. on the llth inst. when he stole all the pas sengers' baggage, mail and express packages. burning several bridges, railroad cars and wrecking a locomo- tive which he let loose going south at terrific speed with the diabolical intent of wrecking the northbound train Had his scheme worked the way he expected. there would have been several hundred lives of inno- cent people sacrificed by Campas' fiendish ingenuity.
 Now. all this occurred only about two weeks ago and there are hun dreds of witnesses ready and willing to testify that these outrages were committed by and under the direct and personal order of Campa. At that time Campa openly avowed his deep hatred to Americans and all things American and told of his de- sire and purpose to ayenge supposed wrongs"
