WORkTOCEASE MONDAY NIGHT
PRESENT AGREEMENT CLOSES
AT MIDNIGHT SUNDAY IN
ANTHRACITE FIELD.
NO SOLUTION IS SUGGESTED
HOPE OF AN AGREEMENT is
NOT FOUNDED UPON ANY
THING TANGIBLE.

Cleveland, o., March 2S.-With on,
three days intervening before tn,
time set for shutdown in case ne
agreement is reached, hope of avert
ing widespread coal strike in the
United States beginning next Mon
day centered today in a sub-commit.
tee appointed by the bituminous op-
orators and miners to agree if pos
sible on compromise wage scale. All
other means of agreeing had failed
and it was said unless compromise
soon was affected $4,000 miners
would quit Sunday at midnight and
the suspension would be in effect a
strike.
Jointly the wage disputes in the an
thracite and bituminou- regions in
volve a threatened strike of almost
100000 miners. No provisional plan
of agreement had been drawn up
when the subcommittee met today
and, according to both sides, there
was no prospect of agreeing. A pre-
vious reference to subcommittee
had resulted in failure to agree.
"a strike in the anthracite fields
may be said already to have been
ordered" said John P. White, presi-
dent of the United Mine Workers of
America. "The anthracite men un-
derstand thoroughly no wage scale
exists upon which they can continue
to work after Sunday midnight and
they accordingly must quit"
In anticipation of general strike,
union officials announced that prac-
tically all the anthracite mines would
be closed but that in the case of
the bituminous mines there would be
exceptions. The union contracts in
Wyoming, Montana, Washington and
Colorado do not expire on April 1 J
The contracts in the southwestern
field, embracing Oklahoma, Arkansas,
Kansas and Missouri. require so days
notice. The non-union mines which
would not necessarily be involved,
employ about 10000 men.
The subcommittee this afternoon
announced it was unable to agree and
1t would so report to the full confer
ence. The members said their argu-
ments had brought about continual
tion Of the deadlock. as operator and
miners repeated their positions Of a
week ago.

GRAND CHIEF OF BROTHERHOOD

New York. March 2S.-Warren o..
Stone, grand chief of the Brother
hood of Locomotive Engineers, pre-
dicted today that when the result
of the strike vote on the wage ques-
ton is made public on April 10, it
will be found tnar less than $4,000
of the 25O,OOO engineers in the broth

ut is Significant said Mr. Stone,
that in none Of our conferences with
the eastern railroad representatives
have they once declared that our de-
mands are unjust. They do not say
We do not need the increase; they
say merely that they cannot afford
to grant it because they are not al

and as the commission represents the
public, it is really the public that is

the freight they carry. Freight rates
are bound to go up"

PREMIER ASKS ACCEPTANCE
BEGS OF THE MINERS TO GIVE
THEIR APPROVAL TO THE
NEW LAW.
EXPECT RESUMPTION OF WORK
80
HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS WILL
RETURN TO REGULAR EN-
PLoYMENT AT ONCE.

London, March zS.-The house o.
lords this afternoon passed the min
ers' minimum wage bill without
amendment. 1t has now only to re
ceive the royal assent.
Premier Asquith today issued an
appeal to the miners of 1reat Britain
to accept the minimum wage bill,
which, he said, would effect largely
what they had fought for. The pre-
mier made this appeal in speech to
the liberal members of the house of
commons. The premier said he rec
ognized that the agitation as far as
the great bulk of the men was con-
cerned, was a disinterested move.
ment Now that their grievance had
been removed by the establishment
of the principle OF minimum wage
with machinery which could be trust
ed to fix reasonable rates, he strong
ly appealed in the name of the whole
community for the resumption of nor
NAL industrial conditions. He hoped
that industrial peace and content
ment now were in sight.
The end of the coal strike, which
has so sorely affected many millions
of the population of the United King
dom during the last four weeks, is
believed to be at hand No doubt
appears to the minds of many people
that the majority of the million min
ers who left their work March l
are anxious to return to the pits, and
when the occasion offers will vote in
favor of the proposal to resume
Owners are opening their mines today
and men who wish to start work will
receive full protection from the gov
ernment.
In the great military camp at Al
dershot, 10000 soldiers are held in
readiness to move at any moment to
any point in the country and at 9th
er military posts similar arrange
ments have been made. More urgent
even than the necessity of protecting
the mines is the duty facing the
country of relieving the destitution
caused everywhere by the strike.
Millions are living in state Of semi
starvation in various parts Of the
country. The settlement can come
none too soon for, of the 100000
men besides the miners who have
been thrown out of employment, at
least half do not belong to any trade
and, therefore, receive
no out-of-work benefit. In Southern
Wales the distress is becoming more
appalling each day.

Santa Fe, N. NJ, March 28.-What
a strain the legislature has been
working under was not realized by
many until it was lifted yesterday af-

the senatorial battle.
The legislature now feels it can get
down to the much needed legislation,
but it will first take a lengthy recess
next week. so that members may at
tend the city elections in their homes
and also observe Holy Week, and
may decide to adjourn in 60 days in
stead of the statutory 80 days, as it
meets again next January. AS one
result OF the disclosures in the bribery
investigation, it seems certain that
the state mounted police force will
be abolished by the assembly
Two bills have also been introduc-
ed and are likely to pass to curtail
further the number of political places
at the disposal of the governor, one
abolishing the office of territorial lib
