ors Ignores Colonel on Detroit
Visit.

Detroit, Mich, April Gov. Osborn

twelve hours altogether
Osborn was one of the seven governors

Immediately called a special session of
the legislature to pass n presidential pri-
mary law which was expected to give
the colonel the Michigan delegation TO
Chicago; but the legislature, by major
ity vote, held that such a proceeding
would be unconstitutional.
Meanwhile Gov Osborn had been fish
ing in the Roosevelt pond for the vice
presidential endorsement. Not a nibble
did he get, however. Presently the gov
errors issued another manifesto, but Os-
horns name was missing. At about
the same time he ceased his campaign

WILL LAST BUT A MONTH.
Anthracite Operators Believe That an
Agreement Will Soon Be Reached.

Philadelphia, April l.--That the sus-
pension of mining in the anthracite coal
regions will not last more than month,
if that long, is the expressed belief OF
coal operators in the hard coal fields.
The representatives OF the miners and
the committee of operators win meet in
Philadelphia April 10 to resume negotia-
tions for a settlement of differences. Re.
ports from various sections of the min,
ing regions show the mine workers ex-
pect that they will be given an increase
in wages, probably about 10 per cent,
and that they will have to recede from
some of their demands The news that
another conference is to be held spread
rapidly throughout the coal country and
created good feeling among the men.
Many of them never expected the suspen-
sion would be a prolonged one.
The production of anthracite coal Sat
urday was far below normal because
many of the miners worked short hand
cd. This was due to the fact that miners
who had run out of powder and oil did
not get the new supplies in view of the
suspension and did not enter the mines.
Hundreds of other miners quit early and
do not expect to report on Tuesday
morning. Monday is a general holiday
throughout the anthracite regions. MS
the miners always observe the anniver-
sary of the granting of the eight hour
day to the soft coal men, although the
anthracite men work nine hours. Mine
workers expect complete tie-up on
Tuesday.

Mr.. Stauley's action was surprise
and came at the end of a stormy ex.
ecutive session OF the committee. Sat

sets and Young of Michigan, Repub-

veetigation could not be complete I'm
less those who know the facts, and

information they had. Morgan, Phipps,
Frick and Gayley were then suggested
as the men who were in position to tell
the committee everything about the for

workings.
Mr.. Stanley and some Of the Demo

stroyed the spring shop at the Boston

noon, with loss of about $1,000 The
shop contains oil watts and several tenn
pering furnaces which fed the flames.
The building was burned in less than 80

At the time the firemen arrived, the

nothing could be done by the firemen
except to save the connecting buildings.
The roof of the blacksmith shop, how
ever, was somewhat burned.
The spring shop is said to be the
only one on the B. & NJ. system where
the heavy springs used on locomotives
are repaired, tempered, assembled and
tested About 20 men are employed in
the shop, but the burning of the build
ing will put other men out of work in

ONLY SHORT SUSPENSION

indianapolis. April l.-While 100000
anthracite and bituminous miners quit
work at midnight last night when their
present wage agreements expired, the
operators and union officials Saturday
took steps to make as brief as possible
the stoppage of coal production. The
10000 anthracite miners in Pennsylva-
mia will stop for an indefinite period, but
arrangements were completed Saturday
for a reopening of negotiations to settle
their wage dispute The operators and
miners conferences will be held in Phila-
delphia April 10. A months suspension
in the anthracite mines is thought prob
able. The bituminous miners. after an
eleven-days' conference with the opera
tors at Cleveland. secured an agreement
which will give them a slight increase
In pay. As their agreement, however,
must still be ratified nv the unions pol
Icy committee and then by a referendum
vote of the union, a suspension in the BIZ
luminous mines will last only long
enough for the wage agreement to be
ratified by the miners. Reports to the
heads of the United Mine Workers of
America Indicated the bituminous wage
agreement would be accepted generally.
It was stated that the suspension in all
the mines involved would cause a loss
in coal prediction to the country of
100000 tons a month and the men
will lose in pay Sl000,000 every day
they remain out The advance in paw
to the bituminous miners secured BY
their new contract will amount to more
than Sl5.O000o0 a year increase over
their present pay. ,.
The hituminous conference adjourned
after the new scale was signed The
scale gives the men an increase of five
cents ton for the mining of lump coal,
and a proportionate increase for all 9TH
er kinds of labor How long the men
are to remain out and under what condi-
tions the referendum vote is to be taken
are details left to be decided by the
Unions policy committee. The demand
of the men for a ive-hour day on Satur-
days was rejected, and the settlement of
local difficulties was referred to the To-
cal unions. The wage agreement in the
central competitive field which was fixed
Saturday is the basis upon which agree
ments are fixed for the other states
The contracts of the southwestern field
provide that the men shall give 60 days
notice before suspending.

no closing arguments were made. Judge

Eavesdropping.


Though the winds but stir on their
hoary thrones
OF hemlock and pungent pine,
All the whispering woodland tones
Gossip of things divine
Why God is gray in the granite rock,
And green in the lichen fake,
And swift in the darting swallow flock,
And slow in the tapping lake;
Why God is sweet in the hermit thrush,
And hoarse in the frog; and why
His touch on the bee is golden plush,
And gauze on the singing fly;
Why God is life in the mushroom there,
And death in the toadstool here;
Mirth in the dancing maindenhair;
In its hidden adder, fear.
Oh if this berry that stains my lip
Could teach me the woodland chat.
Science would bow to my scholarship,
And theology doff the hat.
