COAL Mines Of
COUNTRY CLOSED
More Than 100000 Work
erS Are Idle.
Bituminous Operatives will Be
Out Only Until Wage Agree
ment Is Ratified.

Indianapolis, Indiana, March ST.
No anthracite or bituminous coal will
be taken from the mines Of the country
tomorrow by union miners as a result
OF the suspension, which went into
effect at midnight tonight. due to wage
troubles. More than 100000 miners
about 10000 In the anthracite field and
$4,000 in the bituminous, will take a
vacation, which probably win last only
few weeks Different from a strike
the miners will leave pump men and
others at work to protect the mines from
flooding or other troubles due to a shut.
down Of the plants.
The bituminous miners will be out
only long enough for the wage tgreemen
reached In Cleveland, to be ratified by
the miners by referendum vote, as It is
believed the agreement will be sanctioned
by large majority Of the men. The
suspension in the anthracite mines will
be of longer duration, as no agreement
has yet been reached between the
miners and operators. After hesotia.
tons were broken off In New York on
March 10 between the anthracite miners
and operators nothing was done toward
getting together again until yesterday
when both sides agreed to meet in
ON April 10 and report
negotiations,

TWO WEEKS FOR VOTE.


Ballot for the referendum vote by the
IHituminous miners it is said. will be sent
opt from the national miners quarters
IN this city as soon as the National
President, John P. White, and other
officials return here from Cleveland. 1t
will take more than two weeks to take the
vote,as not all of the locals meet every
week. Then 1t will require, some time
to canvas the vote. so the bituminous
miners are not expected to resume work
much under q month.
Now that the bituminous miners and
operators have agreed on wage con-
tract for the next two years,it is believed
the anthracite controversy will soon he
settled when the miners and operators
get together in Philadelphia. The de-
mands made by both branches Of the
coal miners were somewhat similar, and
1t Is thought the anthracite forces will
compromise on practically the same
terms as have been agreed to in the
bituminous industry.
100000 LOSS A DAY.
The suspension does not affect all Of
the mines in the South. as the union is
not 80 strong south of the Ohio River as
II is in the Northern States The mines
of Wyoming. Washington. Colorado and
Montana also viii not be affected be-
cause the union contracts in those dis
tricts do not expire April I.
1t is said the miners will lose si.0OO.OOO
every day they remain out and that the
suspension will cause a loss in coal
production to the country Of nearly
q. 100000 tons a month.
No formal order was issued by Presi-
dent White for the miners to leave work.
a. the suspension was automatic. since
the miners have no agreement to work
after midnight tonight. when the con-
tract made two years ago expines. No
trouble is expected at any of the mines
Involved.

where he can have a house and

enjoy, in his leisure hours, working
in his garden and fixing up his own
home more than spending his time

His children will grow up with
love for the old homestead and
more respect for their parents.
The man that rents from month to
month and moves once or twice a
year never has a real home. His
children are liable to associate with

if the head of the house happens at

work or loses his position, and thus
unable to pay his rent, his family
is put out in the street.

ridiculed at that time by many for
their purchase of outlying lots,

rapid advancement of the city of

Iowa Senator Announces Candidacy
For Presidential Nomination.
WASHINGTON, Jan. Ex-senator
Albert B. Cummins, progressive re.
publican of Iowa, announced today
his candidacy for the republican presi.
Dental nomination In a statement in
which he says that II the republicans
of Iowa believe him q fit man to urge
before the Chicago convention he will
accept their decision.
The entrance of Mr.. Cummins into
the fight complicates the republican
situ alton. President Taft is now
openly opposed by Sen ators La Fol-
lette of Wisconsin and Cummins OF
Iowa, both progressives, while still
other progressives are urging the
nomin alton of Roosevelt.
The announcement by Cummins had
been expected for several days. Com
ing today in connection with the re-
port from Denver that Clifford Pinchot
was taking the initiative in q move.
ment for conference of progressive
republicans to name one candidate to
oppose President Taft, it started q
riot of political speculation. which
eclipsed the ordinary activities of the

Concealed Cost Price Of Beef.

CHICAGO, Jan. 2O.-When the pack.
ers' trial was resumed today Edward
J. McAdam, Office manager for
Armour & Co. at South Omaha, con.
tinued his testimony regarding the
business methods used at that plant.
Assistant District Attorney Elwood
Goldman read q number Of specimen
memorandum beef cost sheets showing
the credits allowed by the defend ants
for by.products In making the COM
pilations. The sheets were for cattle
killed at the South Omaha plant In
March, April, May, June, July and
August, 1910. They showed the kill.
ing charge to be S2.70 q head, the
allowance for offsl IS cents head
and the credit for hides varied from
four to six cents pound.
The government contends that these
allowances given for by.products were
below the actual market value and
that they played an important part in
fixing the selling price of meat by the
alleged packers combine.
