VIII Meet Owners.

London. March 12.-The National
Miners, Federation unanimously de-
cided last night to accept the prime
minister's invitation to meet the coal
owners and representatives Of the
government at round table confer
ence, at which Premier Asquith will
preside. The acceptance was coupled
with the reservation that the principle
OF a minimum wage will be excluded
from discussion. 1t is understood that
this means that granting of mini
mum wage will be assumed to have
been conceded. but it does not imply
that the schedule of minimum wage
rates drawn up by the miners fedora
tion will not be discussed.
The coal owners have not yet ac-
cepted the premier's invitation, but
will meet early tomorrow to decide.
Even if the Welsh and Scotch owners
stand aloof it is taken for granted
that English owners will accept. The
conference will be held tomorrow aft
ernoon. but the miners representa-
tives are not authorized to agree to
any reduction Of the federation's
schedule of rates. or to any scheme
determining the rates without a new
ballot of the miners. Therefore a set
ference can be attained only II the
owners agree to accept the mir ers'
schedule. which is very improbable.
The most hoped for as the outcome
of the conference is that some basis
of agreement will be reached for fix
ing minimum rate. which will be
submitted to a ballot Of the miners.
That the strike will continue for at
least another week is now regarded by
the most optimistic as inevitable.
1t has been practically determined
that the coal strike, must be ended by
agreement, or immediate legislation
will be invoked to bring about COM
pulsory peace. A time limit for the
negotiations is demanded on all sides,
and Thursday Is expected to see par
liamentary action unless the ex-
tremists on both sides relax sufficient
ly to enable a settlement by consent.
At present almost the entire nation
is under notice to quit work. Includ-
ing the miners there are probably
nearly 100000 persons already idle,

namiting conspiracy. were filed before
Judge Anderson by counsel for the
indicted men when they were arraign-

Elijah Zoline Of Chicago. one of
the attorneys for the defense, began
the argument to support the motion
to auash the indictments on the
ground that many of them charged
the same offense. conspiracy for the
illegal transportation of explosives
Judge Anderson interrupted Zoline
with the statement that the motion
to quash the indictments on the
ground of confusing multiplicity was
absurd.
"These defendants will never 20
to trial without thoroughly under
standing what they are charged with, IS
said he. '"They will not be embar-

motion is overruled."

Fessenden. N. D.. March 12.-Henry
]. Allen. the Kansas editor. spoke to
q large crowd here last night. He
dealt plainly with the North Dakota
situation as between Colonel Roose-
velt and Senator LaFollette. Among
other things he said:
'"The interests of the progressive
movement are at stake. This Is no
local contest to determine who is in
kota; It is a contest to decide whether
Roosevelt, who the progressives Of the
nation have selected as the national
standard bearer, shall have the sup
port Of North Dakota, we'll recog-
nized progressive state. or whether
you shall let the word go out next
Tuesday that Colonel Roosevelt's posi-
tive strength has been weakened by

Senator LaFollette will carry North

cause It Weakens Roosevelt. They
know that Senator LaFollette is not
an issue in this contest II he were
an issue they would %a a.. not wish him to {,

Democratic leaders want LaFollette
to win because 1t will help Tafts
etFength IL Roosevelt loses North Da-
kota.
''The Democrats want Taft to beat
Roosevelt at Chicago because they be-
lieve they can beat Taft in November
and they know they cannot beat
Roosevelt in November"
Mr.. Allen paid Senator LaFollette
a high personal compliment and said:
IF Senator LaFollette were az
strong in the nation as Colonel Roose-
velt Is. would be glad to support
him. because he stands for the pro-
gressive policies, and 10 a clean man.
But Roosevelt is the choice Of the
progressives the nation over. He can
defeat President Taft at the Chicago
convention and Senator LaFollette
cannot. The fight is for the victory
Of the progressive principles and II
North Dakota 10 for those principles
the most effective thing she can do
next Tuesday is to send q delegation
that will be on the Roosevelt firing
line from the very moment the con-
vention opens: not delegation that
will be holding back and playing into
the hands of the Taft managers in the
hope that maybe Senator LaFollette
might land the nomination on the
