ATTACKS DWELLING
James T. Stewart, Wife, and

Full credit for saving the lives Of
Ave persons IL being given today to a
pet dog that awakened the members OF
the family by persistent barking when
fire late last night destroyed the bunga-
low Of James T. Stewart, superintendent
Of the Washington Office of the Ameri-
can Ice Company. at North Kenilworth,
Nd, about q mile beyond the District
line.
Practically the entire building was q
mass Of flames when the dogs bark.
ing aroused the family. Mr.. Stewart
his wife and three children barely had
time to get out in their night clothing
They took refuge at the homo Of q
neighbor and watched their homo burn
to the Rround. Besides the damage oc-
casioned by the loss Of the building
valued at $500. s11S in bills was burned

No. I chemical engine made a run of
two miles over the snow-covered roads,
but by the time tho firemen arrived the
bungalow was in ruins. Nothing in the
dwelling was saved. The deep snow on
the country roads made the going heavy
and the horses slipped continually.
Drifts blocked the roads in many places
and the nremen had to get of the en-
gfne several times and assist the horses
by pulling on the spokes in the wheels.
The fire was discovered shortly after
II o'clock. Hearing the dog barking,
Mr.. Stewart got out Of bed. opened the
bedroom door and found the rest Of the
building in flames. He hastily called
his wife and children. The flames were
gaining headway 80 rapidly that they
were obliged to grab few articles OF
wearing apparel and fee from the
building In their night clothing.

SOCIALISTS NOW
NEAR CONTROL IN
GERMAN RE|CHSTAG
Make Good "Red Flood"
Boast in Yesterdays
Election.

BERLIN Jan. 13.-The socialists
have made good their boast that a
"red flood" would sweep Germany at
yesterdays election. Returns at noon
today indicated they had elected
members in the reichstag from at
least sixty-seven districts, and that
they will have at least an even chance
of electing their candidates in the re-
balloting on January "a in 12o other
districts. where none OF the contest
ants received a plurality.
Thirty OF the districts where rebal-
loting is necessary are sure to be car
ried by the socialists. 1t Is admitted
by many Conservatives that the Social
lists will have a membership of at least
100 in the reichstag, which would make
them the second most powerful party
in the body. There Is q bare chance
that the reballoting may result in their
winning first place over the Catholic
centrists.
The centrists. who had 105 repre-
seniatiyes in the last reichstag, held
their own in the bailoting yesterday,
but they failed to gain any new MEN,
bers. The socialists victory was won
at the expense Of the progressives ana
other parties.
The socialists are jubilant over the
result, and their leaders already are
planning for a strenuous campaign to
complete their victory at the reballot-
Ing The government greatly fears II
will be possible for the socialists and
the radical liberals to combine and
dominate the reichstag.

Bryan Visits Capitol
To Discuss Primaries

William Jennings Bryan dropped
into Washington yesterday afternoon
and stayed here between trains. He
was bound for the South on his way
from Philadelphia. He went to the
Senate office building and called on
~John" Kern of Indiana. While there,
he saw a number democrats and
several Republicans. He talked over
with them the question of how to
settle the controversy between the
two houses over the proposed amend. .
ment for the direct election Of Sena-
tors.
Mr.. Bryan favored compromise
that would enable the States to ex-
ercise the option of availing them
selves OF the authority of the direct
elections amendment. He also heard
the suggestion that alternative prop
ffOr their action.
Senator Borah of Idaho was one of
the Republicans with whom Mr..
Bryan talked.
No decision was reached but IL is
believed that the way Is being clear
ed for an adjustment of the differ-
ences between the two houses over
the amendment.

GATHERING
IN INDIANAPOLIS
Annual Convention Of United Workers Convenes on
Tuesday-Expiraton of Anthracite Wage Agree
ment to Be Subject of Discussion.

INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. 13.--The ad-
vance guard Of delegates to attend the
annual convention Of the United Mine
Workers Of America to meet Tuesday,
has reached here. The convention prom
ises to be one Of the most important as
we'll a. largest gathering in the history
OF the organization. It will be attended
by delegates representing the tens of
thousands of miners who labor in the
immense bituminous fields. which
stretch from West Virginia and central
Pennsylvania northwest to British Co
lumbia and southwest to Texas and
Oklahoma. The anthracite miners Of
Pennsylvania are expected to be more
largely represented than at previous
conventions. owing to the fact that the
wage agreement OF the anthracite
miners will expire this year as well a.
that Of the bituminous workers.
It IL probable the convention will last
two weeks or longer. The matter Of q
new wage agreement will be discussed.
though final action will as usual be left
to the committee, which will meet IN
joint conference with the operators next
month.
Report of Tellers.
IN aOoltlOn TO tno Orulnary fOutluc
business the convention will have va
rious matters Of Importance to con-
slider. 1t Is generally conceded that the
report Of the tellers of the recent ma
tional election for officers will show the
reelection of John p. White, Of Iowa,
as president over Tom L. Lewis, his
opponent. Edwin Perry. the secretary
treasurer. had no rival.
One OF the questions being discussed
among the delegates is whether the con-
vention will rescind the resolution that
placed John Mitchell before the alterna-
tive of giving up his union card or re-
signing from the National Civic FEEDER
alton. Mr.. Mitchell, It will be recalled,
recently made charges that the last
miners convention was packed" and
to that fact was due the adoption of
the resolution.
The question Of renewing the agree
ment with the operators, however, will
overshadow all other matters. The pres
ent agreement will expire March 81,
next. No attempt is made to conceal
the fact that general strike Of both
the bituminous and anthracite miners Is
mong the possibilities. The situation
IN the anthracite field is the more alarm
The Washington times., 1912-01-13

Ing, az a strike of the hard coal miners
ID always the more serious In its con-
sequence than = suspension Of work by
organisations in the anthracite field
have held their separate conventions.
These gatherings adopted resolutions
demanding 20 per cent increase In
in working hours without a correspond
ing decrease In pay, payment by weight
exclusively and other concessions.
The operators have not given any
:: official Is notice Of their intentions. .n,tnn but
Of granting these demands: While the
mine workers argue that the increased
cost of living has made necessary g
wage increase, the operators hold that
strike commission has given the miners
advantage Of every advance In the
price Of coal, and that no fiat advance
IN wages 10 possible under present con-
ditions.
Bone Of Contention.
The conciliation board promises to be
. bone of contention also. This II COM
posed OF three representatives Of the
mine workers and three representatives
Of the operators. It was created by the
strike commission to settle differences
as they arise. The miners declare that
the methods of work of the Cancellation
board are cumbersome and impractical.
A number Of the same concessions
which the miners demanded unsuccess-
fully before the strike commission will
be demanded again. Notable among
these IL the so-called "check-of." the
system under which the operators de-
duct from thS miners pay checks the
union dues and turn the amount de-
Quoted over to the officers of the union.
AS this involves the recognition Of the
United Mine Workers by the operators,
It has been steadily opposed by the
latter. Another demand which the
mine workers will present 10 that what
ever agreement is made II shall last
one year only. This has been demand
ed over and over again, but the opera
tors always have stood out for Q longer
term.
The miners believe the present time
IL we'll selected for pressing their de-
mands. In the first place, 1t is unusual
for the wage agreements In both hard
and soft coal regions to expire stimuli
taneousiy; then, too. II Is q Presidential
election year. This gives the mine
workers organization a strong weapon,
because by simultaneous action In sew
eral mining regions the leaders could
create q condition approaching fuel
famine.
