WALKOUT IN ANTHRACITE
FIELD EXPECTED APRIL |
Mere Suspension Regarded as Best
That Can Be Hoped For.
FINAL CONFERENCE IN BRITAIN
Believed Disputants May Settle War
Affecting 100000 People.
Strike in Germany
Is Spreading.

NEW YORK, March 14.-"The United
Mine Workers of America will not COM
promise single demand that they have
made of the anthracite coal operators"
declared John P. White, president of the
United Mine Workers, this afternoon. 'I
look for a general suspension Of work in
the anthracite field April L." he added
1T seems that the best we can hope for
now Is mere suspension instead Of a
strike. While the strike committee has
authority to call strike, we will proba-
bly, postpone such action at least until
after the meeting of the bituminous coal
miners in Cleveland March 20. The
whole situation will come up for review
before the policy committee March 25,
and q strike of the bituminous miners is
not unlikely"
1.-The operators have notified us that
their reply is final. When we meet
them tomorrow we will file merely a
formal reply reiterating our demands
1t will then be up to the operators. II
hard coal miner in Pennsylvania will
lay down his tools on the night Of
March 81"
Pottsville Galleries Crippled.
louisville, Pa. March 14.-Eforts
of the United Mine Workers to strengthen
their organization in anticipation Of q
possible strike has resulted In tying up
one-third OF the collieries OF the Lehigh
Coal and Navigation Company in the
Panther Creek valley Of the anthracite
region. The trouble was caused by the
union men refusing to work with men
who do not wear the union button. Last
week several hundred men quit work and
the trouble has spread until $500 mine
workers are now idle. About LOO men
quit work today.
A meeting was held last night, when It
was hoped that some adjustment could be
reached. but 1t was decided that there
would be no work In the collieries affected
until every man wore Q union button ~~--t
The company officials have declined to
take any part in the controversy and
have not been asked by the miners to ex-
ert any influence In ersdirection. as 1t
Is conceded that 1t is q matter entirely
between the men. The collieries which
are in operation are working full handed,
but no effort Is being made to work the
operations which are affected by the walk
out.

ADVERSE REPORT MADE
ON HOUSE STEEL BILL
Finance Committee of Senate
Votes Against 1t on Strict
Party Lines.

The finance committee Of the Senate
Senate on the House steel bill. This de-
cision was reached by a strict party vote
Of to 6. the democrats voting for the
House measure, which they will urge In
a minority report.
The vote on the bill was taken on the
motion of Senator Smoot of Utah, to re-
port the bill adversely. which was Of.
fered as substitute for motion by
Senator Bailey authorizing a favorable
report.
All the members of the committee ex.
cept Senators Reyburn and La Toilette
republicans, and Senator Stone, democrat
were present. The vote Of Senator Hey
burn was cast for the Smoot motion upon
his authority, as was that Of Senator
Stone against it. Senator La Toilette is
the only member of the committee whose
vote was not recorded.
Hearing on Chemical Bill.
In addition to the executive session
for the consideration. Of the steel bill
there was an open session, which was
devoted to hearings on the House
chemical revision bill. The witnesses
were F. H. Schoelkopf Of Buffalo. N. Y.
and Edward T. Bosson of Atlantic
Mass. who protested against any re-
ductlOn in duties on coal tar articles,
and Francis A. Gudger Of New York
who made a similar protest against a
reduction Of the duty on celluloid ar
ticles.
Owing to the fact that Japan has a
monopoly on camphor, the principal in
gredient of celluloid articles, Mr.. Gudger
predicted that any material reduction of
duties would result in throwing most of
the celluloid manufacturing business into
that country.

J. Adam Bede's Views.


Of Minnesota was most emphatic today
in declaring that public sentiment has
undergone an immense change in all
directions "The people are coming
to feel that Teddy has turned turtle on
Taft. the party and its platform" said
Mr.. Bede. "and that they must get busy
once more. as they did in go. against
political vagaries that would handicap
our national progress. The preconven-
tion contest looks to me, and I have
been travelling in many states recently,
like a tragedy for the colonel, who
will be overwhelmed by the political
sanity of the nation. The fight Is al
ready won for the administration and
the Roosevelt boom is on the verge Of
a memorable collapse. Had La Fol-
lette's faint-hearted allies stood by him
he would have secured more delegates,
than Roosevelt. The Presidents man
ayers should now turn their thoughts
to November and prepare such a plat
form as will rally to its support every
rational republican"
Representative Slemp and l.. P. Sum-
mers. fresh from the republican state
convention at Roanoke. told the Presi-
dent that Virginia had elected twenty
four delegates for him, and was proud of
1t. There are no scars left" said Mr..
Slemp. "and the party is in good shape In
the state. President Taft is as good as
nominated. The Roosevelt campaign has
gone to the wall. Virginia is delighted
that it has been able to go to the front
with the Taft banner"

Anthony Attacks Stubs.

Representative Anthony of Kansas sent
to President Taft a telegram today that
charges Gov. Stubbs with being the prin-
cipal man in Kansas who is neglecting
his Official duties for politics. Mr.. An
thony wired that the republican commit
tees Of the first, third and seventh dis
tricts have indorsed the President. He de-
clares that no postmasters participated
except that William I. Biddle resigned his
position as chairman of the first district
committee because he was an office
holder and this resignation was accepted
Mr.. Anthony goes on to say:
'"The only offlceholders in Kansas that
I know of who are guilty OF pernicious
political activity are the state ofhcehold-
ers who are appointees of Gov. Stubbs.
who has been waging war on the national
administration. For many months GOV.
Stubbs has neglected his official duties as
governor to leave the state and talk poll
tics in other states. ]. F. Dolley the gov
ernor's state bank commissioner. is the
present state chairman, and Is managing
the forces opposed to the Presidents re-
nomination. The first district committee
unanimously indorsed the President for
denomination and reelection. and the
third and seventh districts did likewise.
Every indication points to defeat OF the
governor and his state officeholders In their
efforts to control the state committee
against the President"
Gov Stubbs has been inimical to Presi-
dent Taft ever since President Taft wrote
him strong letter in May, 1903. inform
ing the governor that he would not be
allowed to use federal patronage to de-
feat or harm Senator Curtis and Repre-
sentative Anthony. Because he believed
that Gov Stubbs had tried to use him
that way the President withdrew from
the Senate a nomination in which the
governor was interested.
Secretary Wilson is to take the stump.
He will speak in Cincinnati March 16 and
in Colorado later at a place to be select
ed. The Secretary will tell the country
what the administration has done Tor the

Will Receive Countess.
The Countess of Warwick. who has ar
rived in this country from England. is
to be received by President Taft tomor-
row morning. She Is noted socialist,
but she will confine her interview with
the President to discussion of woman's
suffrage and international peace. The
visit promises to be q most interesting
one
President Taft has been asked to close
the departments Of the government for q

Picture Still Hangs.

On the wall Of President Taft's private
Office, to the right of where he sits each
day, and in full view Of every visitor
who calls upon him, is a splendid paint
ing of Col. Roosevelt. It has remained
there through all the ups and downs
Of the Taft administration. and it will
stay there long after the Chicago con-
vention has renominated the present
chief executive. To the left of the
President, just across the wall from
the painting of Col. Roosevelt. is q
painting of Alonzo Taft, father of
President Taft. These are the only two
paintings in the room, and there are
no other decorations. The picture of
Alonzo Taft is the same size as that of
Col Roosevelt. The father and the in
innate friend Of other years apparently
share equally in the heart Of the Presi-
dent. If he feels otherwise, no man or
woman knows it.
Exultation, therefore, is out OF the
question with Mr.. Taft, and his intimate
friends follow his example. Representa-
tive Mckinley. Senator Crane, Senator
Root, Secretary Stimson, and Secretary
Hilles all tell the President that the I'm.
ish is in sight, for which they are glad
They know the colonel well enough, how.
ever. to realize that he will go down fight
ing and believe that when the fight /.
officially over he will show his gameness
by announcing his support Of Taft.

TAFT VICTORY SEEN
Frequently Expressed Opinion
Heard at White House.
FIGHT is THOUGHT OVER
President Not Gloating in Triumph
Over Friend.
HIS FRIENDS CONFIDENT
Political Sanity of Nation Will
Overwhelm Colonel, Bede
Declares.
FIGHT is THOUGHT OVER
Is FRIENDS CONFIDENT

Col. Roosevelt's campaign for renomi-
nation has shot up into the air: the fight
is practically over and President Taft's
denomination is a certainty.
That sums up the frequently expressed
view of the nomination situation among
White House visitors during the last
week. The prediction is not mere bum
combe. either. but the honest belief of
dozens Of political generals. whose opin-
ions are considered worth something.
The apparent collapse in the Roosevelt
campaign has come so quickly following G
his announcement and his Columbus
speech that 1t has been surprise. There
is no exultation about the Taft camp
either. OF course, the Presidents friends
are pleased. but they are not inclined tc
gloat or to say cutting words. The
President himself is confident to the full
est extent. In no way, though, does he
show an elation that carries with it tri-
umph over his old friend.

 Minnesota was counted upon two weeks ago as safely for President Taft Hardly a political sharp can be found in Duluth tonight who is will ing to wager against d bet that the third party candidate was needed here to stir into vivid action a senti- ment that has been smouldering in the state since the opening piece of the campaign.
 All this change in the political complexion Of Minnesota has come about within the last few days-and hooseYelts invasion of the state has figured largely ill it. The colonel kept out of the state in the primary fight and Minnesota went oVerwhelm- ingly for him. Now with brisk campaign being waged Ly the Bull Mooses the Minnesota electors seemed destined to go for the ex-president.
 In his speech here tonight, Roose- velt slammed into Governor Wilson for his attitude on immigration, de- claring that the Democratic candidate has shown himself to favor Chinese labor above that of the solid Latin countries. The ex-president called attention to MT Wilson's utterances as to immigration.
 Before coming here Colonel Roose- welt stopped off at Superior, Wis, his first appearance in Senator La Follette's state in all his presidential campaign. Roosevelt found warm spirit toward the Bulh Moose move manifest in Wisconsin.
 The ex-president left here tonight for St. Paul. He delivers speech to- morrow at Oshkosh, severely arraign- ing Governor Wilson for his tariff at titude

}oston. Mass, Oe. l0.--The biggest crowd that eyer saw ball game in Boston, numbering 3l624. got the sus- prise of it's 'fe today when Rube MarQuard was returned a winner over Buck O.Brien in he third battle Of the worlds series, , to 1.
 All the dopesters figured hat Rube would make big explosion if Me Graw started him. But up to the ninth inning he exhibited no s gns of cracking. When luck and bad base running or bad coaching saved him from eleventh hour defeat and left the Giants on even terms with the Red Sox in he struggle for the cham pionship of the universe
 One of the pretties catches ever committed by lttIe ] sh Deyore wound up the game, robbed Forrest Cady of andying fame. and was Rube's salvation. Everybody in he ball park including M&rquard himself,
 bought Cady had won the combat His clout was headed for the fence in right-center on d line Hendrick- son was on third base and Wagner on second, with two out and one run needed to tie. The pair dashed homeward With the sound of the col lisioa between ball and bat. Devore started in an apparently hopeless chase toward the thousands of howl- ing bugs in the distant bleachers. The thought of the big end of that purse must have added wings t.. Josh feet Anyhow he caught up with the flying thing, grabbed and held on while the frantic cheering gave way 10 a groan of lost hope
 Marquard never looked better than during the first e'ght rounds. Every one was expecting one of his famous bloW-ups and the majority were as tonished as ne went through rcnrd after round without giving the Sox q good opening. His control was as good as We have ever seen. Not un- tll'r two were out in the eighth did he glve base on balls. H's steam was terrific and he used it for all it was werth.

be Wetn. He used q few on Hooper, Speaker and aGrdner the three left han lee batsmen in Stahl's club, but the ght-handed batters saw litties bu the fast ones and did not see them very clearly
 BHCk 0'Brien was unfortunate. His pitcaing weuli have easily won either of the two preceding games, but he could net cop without runs and runs were terribly scarce. His sptball did nor break very well in the early innings and New York tallies were earned. Also Buck was in a couple of tight places before he struck his stride. He pulled out of very deep hole in the fifth. The Giants scored once n that inning and Buck perhaps was lucky to get eff that easily. Thereafter he improved steadily and The visitors were having lots of trouble with him in the sixth. seventh and eighth. O'Brien was taken out in the Boston eighth to allow McNeill Ball to hit fer him. Hugh Bed ent was again the boy picked to finish and he refused to allow the Giants to increase their advantage.
 The folks present who had all sum- mer been accustomed to seeing Sox rallies did not stir when the ninth opened with Boston two runs shy.

CLUES WELCOME HIM
puIl Hooses Interrupt speech But Candidates Says They ire Just tie
 Ones He Would Talk Fo.

Chicago, Oct. 10.-Chieago gave |Governor Wilson an old fashioned po- |iticaI reception today. All the form er conflicting factions Of the Demo- cratic party combined to welcome him. When the candidates arrived ar ho o'clock this morning there was | trowd variously estimated at from hO.000 to 50,000 and at the station end along the streets 10 the Congress Hotel his destination Marching clubs. the county Democratic, the broquois, Jefferson and Southern Elnzs and various other organiza- lions were in the parade that follow Id the governors automobile. The ttreets were black with humanity de- )pite the inclement weather. The Candidates closed an exceedingly 6usv lay by addressing 10000 people at the Seventh Regiment armory fhis even |ng. The big assembly hall was jam jnad and many thousands were unable |o gain admission. The governor Eas wildly cheered and his speech |requently applaHded. He spoke for fopular government and against spe- ! ;al privilege.
 From the armory Governor Wilson Fas driven to the depot where he boarded train for Canton, 0.
 On his arrival in Chicago. -zhe gov |rnor was driven to his hotel after thch he was taken 10 the Southern ,ut where an informal reception was feld. At noon he spoke at McVick- Frs theater to the capacity of the Fcase. The governor got a tremend- |ns ovation when he was introduced y Mayor Harrison.
 Governor Wilson had hardly started is address when it became apparent
 
 nere was some Bull Moooses in the lullding. If there is anything Cover Tor Wilson likes it is an interruption r contradiction from his audience. Fhen the Bull Moose in the gallery |ndertook to start demonstration pr Roosevelt, others in the crowd de- banded that he he put out and the |ollce were about to carry out the or |er when Governor Wilson said:
 No, don't put him out; don put |nybody out. If there is a Bull loose in the House he is just the man want to talk to.
 The candidate's voice showed some npfoFement yesterday though it has ot yet recovered it's full strength. uoVernor Wilson discussed his ia Ofi'e tople-the trust plank in the iiio party program which calls for commission to regulate monopoly.
 The meeting over, the candidate ent to the Iroquois club where he 1 as entertained at luncheon and nefe another informal reception as held. In the afternoon he went
