TWO BIDS FOR CITY COAL
New Unit System and Threatened
Strike Keep Contractors Shy.

The Davis Coal and Coke Company and
the George d. Harris Company were the
only firms which submitted figures in re-
Spouse to the advertisement Of coal specif-
cations for the Department Of Water Sup
ply. Gas and Electricity before the hour at
which the bidding closed yesterday. Deal
ers have been slow in bidding since the
British thermal unit system was installed,
saying that they cannot buy coal under
that system and cannot risk contracting to
deliver it under the specifications Another
reason advanced is that the widespread dis
content among coal miners makes the deal
ers wary.
The bids submitted ranged from 81 30 TO
81 80 a ton on the different lots. Last year
coal of the same grade was sold to the city
as low as So OF a ton. and on January the
Harris company bid TO furnish coal TO the
Department Of Water Supply. Gas and Elec-
tricity at prices ranging from SO 20 to 81 30.
The contracts provide, the coal dealers
say. for penalties in case Of shortage in
thermal units, and do not provide for pre-
miums IT, thermal units are in excess of
specifications. Bids for one of the lots of
coal advertised for prior to March 4 were
so high that the Department of Water Sup
ply, Gas and Electricity is readvertising the
lot

The estimates for the current year are
disappointing. as there were expectations

Washington, March 12.-Presidsnt Taft
will have a conference tomorrow upon the
situation in Mexico with Secretary Stimson.
serator CuIberson and the Texas delega-
ton in Congress II is understood that
the President and the Secretary OF War

ties that the neutrality laws must be strict
" enforced and that no aid 10 the Mexican
rebels must go from Texas.
II was intimated to-day that after the
conference President Taft might issue
statement defining the attitude Of the
United States toward Mexico in the present
crisis. Ii is understood that such state
ment II one is issued, would contain as
surances TO Mexicsns that the United
States now has TO intention OF intervening.
The Pyesident told his callers to-day that ne
would not consider intervention unless Con-
gress authorized him 10 take such step.
Dispatches to the state Department 'O-
day from Ambassador Wilson at Mexico
City were partly reassuring and partly dis
concerting. Mr.. Wilson said that the re-
cent proclamation of President TAFT was
now apparently understood in Mexico. and
any fear that it meant the recognition CT
the belligerents had died out 81.
The most alarming report made by .lr.
Wilson was to the effect that many Amari-
cans in the western part OF Mexico were
so destitute that they needed help 10 get
out of the country. Consideration proo-
ably will be given by the State Department
as 10 the best means to get them out by
way Of Western ports.

Sprmination of the strike. Tho Chancehor
will give his reply in the House tomorrow
Women are reported to be playing
prominent part in the disorders which are
occurring in several districts. They do not

The coal syndicate is already commenc-
ing TO sell coal from its accumulated STOCK
at an advance Of IS Gents tons. The
shipments from the Silesisn mines have IN
creased by 20 per cent on account OF the
Anglo German strikes.
Collisions between the strikers. the po-
lice and the non-strikers are reported to
have occurred to-day in six or eight 10
calities in the coal regions. The most So
rious conflict was near Hamoorn' IN 'ne
district of Dusseldorf. where a mop Oh
two thousand strikers who were "dl'i"e
for the workers threw stones ana oo'tieS
and fired revolvers at the detachfneht ol
forty policemen who were on guaru' III
turing five of them. The police theh
charged with drawn sabres, inJurlng many
OF the strikers.
The workers were stoned. and the police
used their sabres in dispensing the cro"as
of strikers at many other points but the
number of casualties is not reported
Owing to these disturbances the Christian
Trades Unions and the mine owners nave
telegraphed to the Minister of the Interior
to send troops or to reinforce the ponce

forded TO the workers is. in their opinion
inadequate The police authorities. on the
other hand assert that the police pro-
lection is quite sufficient, and are minlmiz-
ing the disorders that have taken place.
II is probable that the interested parties
are painting the situation in darker colors
than is justified, in order 10 secure larger
forces of police in the district.
The strike is making considerable prog
ress in all districts, many of the mines to-
day working with only one of the three
shifts that are ordinarily employed. Ar
'Arangements have been made for the miners
willing to work 10 enter and leave the pits
by daylight so as to prevent disorders.
The owners have invited committees rep
.resenting the miners from the individual
mines TO meet in conference tomorrow,
but there is no prospect Of a successful IS
sue being reached, owing to the present at
titude of the owners. Figures issued to-
day show that the increases of wages de-
nanded by the miners cannot be granted
owing to the financial position Of the min
ing companies.

posite would he the result as home owners
of moderate circumstances in the suburbs

They declare that the value OF improved
real estate would decrease 10 per cent as
soon as the bill became a law and that
other sources OF revenue for the city would
have TO be devised because OF the reduc-
ton.
