heatedly denounced the Trust and
the defendants when objection was
made saying that he was going to
show how these men stood together
and robbed Segal." He said that the
defendants schemad long TO saddle
Segal with debts, and then stepped in

back what he already owed them and
they in return got what they We're

New York, March 20.-The trial of
John T. Parsons Washington b.
Thomas and other officials of the
American Sugar Refining Co, under
the criminal clause of the Sherman
law, took turn, today which may
prolong it for many months. This
prospect doomed up when District At
torney Wise began to submit evidence
intended to show that for a long peri
cd the policy of the Trust" was to
purchase and close down rival sugar
plants in order to monopolize the in
dustry.
Charles Ii. Heike, former secretary
of the company, whose conviction for
under weighing frauds is now und r
appeal, was the witness whom the dis
trict attorney placed on the stand, to-
day. to prove this policy, but Heike's
testimony had not fairly begun before
counsel for the defence raised vigorous
protest.
In the hotly contested argument
which followed, the prosecutor said
that 1t was his right to offer such evil
dence in order to show the intent of
the Sugar Trust in obtaining con-
troll of the Pennsylvania Sugar Re
lining Co., the acquisition and closing
down of which formed the basis OF
the indictments in the present trial.
He meant to show by Heike, he said,
that the American Sugar Refining Co,
closed down refineries whenever they
interfered with its business and that
1t gathered in between 80 and 40 re-
fineries and operated only four.
James NJ. Beck of counsel for the de-
PENDANTS, after asserting that the
plants in question We're not in effect
discontinued because their machinery
was simply moved ITO more concen-
trated point" said that to admit the
evidence would prolong the case six
months and served notice that every
point would be contested, He offered
to furnish the government with q com
plete list of refineries bought and own
ed b. the American Sugar Refining
Co, or in which the company had a
stock interest. Mr. Wise finally OBJ
tanned the consent of Judge Hand to
the admission of the convicted secre-
tarys testimony.
Mr.. Wise read off list after list of su-
gar retneries which Heike identified as
having been either controlled or CLOSED
down by the Trust"
The prosecutor then read from the
minutes of the bond OF directors o.

Bill in the House, Thursday.

London, March 20.-The fate of the
minimum wage bill seems to be tremb-
ling in the balance A. J. Balfour will
move the rejection of the bill in the
House of Commons. tomorrow. The
dramatic temperance of Mr.. Bdlfour
in the role of leader of the opposition
is a great surprise The decision was
taken at a meeting of prominent
Unionists. including Austen Cham
berlain, Walter Hume Long and f. f.
Smith, at which Andrew Law Bonar

requested that the former leader UNI
Gertake the duty of moving the bills
rejection.
Whether this heralds the return of
Mr.. Balfour to the active leadership
of the party remains to be seen. The
Unionists lately have been greatly
elated at the growing difficulties the
government has been encountering,
due in part TO the unpopularity of the
insurance bill, the increasing labor
troubles and the greatly increased
public expenditure involved in social
reforms. and evidence of a change in
public opinion has been given in re-
cent ye-elections. If, as some of the
Unionists assert the government is
riding for a fall, it may come over
the minimum wage bill, but there is
little doubt that the government can
carry the second reading of the bill

STRIKE PROBABLE.
No Definite Results Reach
ed at Cleveland,
In Conference Between Opera
TORS and BituminOusC Goal Miners.
Growing Feeling That the Soft Coal
Miners Will Close April 4.

Cleveland, March 20.--Diseussion of
tie question of wages, today. between
the operators and representatives of
200 coo union miners in the bituminous
coal fields of western Pennsylvania,
Ohio. Indiana and Illinois. in an effort
to avert prolonged suspension of
business after April 1, and to avert a
possible strike. were without definite
results.
The prospect that all the bitnminous
coal mines would be closed down aft
or the first of the month, pending
reaching a new two-year working and
wage agreement, was said to be immi-
nent. 1t also was said that lack of a
wage scale in the Central sites would,
leave the union bituminous coal min
ers in other states without a basis up
on which to work. and they woull
have TO close, entailing the idleness
of more than $4,000 miners After to-
days conference had adjourned until
tomorrow, the union officials and OPP
orators announced that only the first
of the miners demands mad been con-
sidored and no vote had been taken.
This demand is that all the men be
paid on the Run of the mine" basis.
AT present the pay is based either on
a ton screened or sifted from the small
err Jumps and dust, or at q smaller
rate for coal unscreened The Run
of the mine" basis, already in use in
some states, would provide for fiat
rate per ton on mined coal, regardless
Of whether thee coal was screened or
not.
In readjustment on this basis, the
miners demond an increase of 10 cents
a ton over the average price now paid.
They also want shorter working hours.
As an offset to the miners demands,
the operators ask a 10 per cent. reduc-
ton in the present rate. 1t was point
ed out that continuous of the present
pay would be the nature of compro-
mise between the opposing demands,
but the miners assert they will not re-
turn to work without more pay and

tionalists have decided to give their
support to that end.
Difficulties will arise in the commit
tee stage when the laborites viii move
amendments, with the object of hav-
ing inserted the schedule of minimum
rates as fixed by the Miners FEEDER
alton. 1t appears, however, that the
federation adopted the resolution in
favor of this procedure by d majority
of only II in 100 votes. Evidently,
therefore, a large section of the fed
Grafton favors a less extreme policy,
and possibly when the committee stage
arrives more reasonable counsels may
prevail.
A cabinet council will be held. to-
morrow, to consider the whole situa
ton. 1t is said that the Ministeralists
still hold TO the opinion that much of
the opposition to the bill will disap-
pear when it. comes to actual discus
sion. and there is little doubt that the
miners throughout the country are
anxious TO resume work. VIII Thorne,
the Labor leader, expressed the opin-
ion, tonight, that the coal owners are
engaged in a conspiracy to deplete and
drain the unions funds. which it
would require years to restore. Ger
tainly the financial necessities will
tend to shorten the duration of the
