who would like to see Burlington in a
larger league or rather. to see larger
cities in the Central circuit. But I'M
der the laws Burlington cannot
very well break away from the Cen
trail association without the consent
OF the majority of the other cities
forming the circuit, and it cannot
procure the withdrawal of any other
city in the league in order to give
place to bigger city. It is possible,
however, that some of the cities In
this league win voluntarily give up
their franchises Ottumwa offered to

IN the hands Of President Justice last
August. Galesburg is in precarious
condition and Muscatine has threat
ened to withdraw If the Central asso-
cation refused to release it from the
penalty for failing to keep its attend
ance pledge in 1911. Any Of these
changes or all of them will furnish
ample opportunity to strengthen the
league, and probably would make
things more lively in base ball all
around this circuit. These are mat
sefs which every city In the Central
association must consider and settle

Burlington Hawk-Eye: The efforts
Of Cedar Rapids to get ba k into the

tude Of those Burlington fans who
oppose any idea Of their city dropping
out of the game for season or so.
This suggestion has been made occa-
sionally by some citizens who think
the game has played out here, and
that by resting year or two the fans
would again become crazy for the
sport. That is what Cedar Rapids
thuoght. 1t supposed that by drop
ping out OF base ball one year 1t could
build up an enthusiasm that would
carry the game through in future sea.

now for four or five years, and cannot
get back Its ball park has been cut
up into building lots and new grounds
will cost a lot of money. Besides All
this Cedar Rapids cannot get into
base ball league, having abandoned
Its franchise. unless some league in
vites IT, It's only recourse is to form
new league. But in order to do this
It must draw cities away from other
leagues. This thing is impossible un-
der the base ball laws. Every bit OF
territory in THIS league and In the
Three-Eye league is controlled and
protected against Just such drafts. The
only way Cedar Rapids will be able
to get back into base ball Is to secure
place abandoned by some other city,
or to wait until some league breaks
up when it can help form another

WORK WILL RESUME

London, April Although the ma
jority of the one million miners who
quit work in March, are waiting the
returns of the ballot on the question
whether they should resume work
there was today the sign, welcome
to the whole country, of coal tubs
running on the colliery railways. Thus
far. of the $4,000 votes counted,
more than $4,000 have declared for
resumption.
A few factories in some districts,
which had boarded coal, were able
to reopen as they now are asscred of
future supplies, but others which had
no coal in stock as well as some of
the big cotton mills and iron works
in Lancashire which have been hith-
erto kept going by the exercise of
the strictest economy, will now be
forced to shut down for a short time.
Outside the ranks of the miners there
ire more men out of work today
han there were a week ago, it is
calculated.

Bituminous Section Also Experiences Shut
Down of Many OF the
Larger Mines
REFERENDUM VOTE MAY settle TROUBLE
Soft Coal Men Will Have Conference With Operators This Week.
Which Is Hoped to Bring About Avoidance Of Strike--
Hard Coal Situation Is Regarded as More Serious

Scores of thousands of coal min.
ers quit work today in the anthra-
cite fields of Pennsylvania and in the
central competitive fields" of the
bituminous portion of the industry.
Officially the movement is "sus-
pension" of work and whether it is
to develop into widespread strike
depends upon the outcome of voting
in the union ranks and of confer
ences between the men and employ
ers within the next ten days.
Anthracite men are more appre-
hensive than their bituminous breth-
rem as to the outcome. This condi-
tion is predicated upon the fact that
there is no definite agreement i'm
mediately in sight for the hard coal
men, whereas the bituminous confer
ence at Cleveland adjourned after the
mems representative had abandoned
practically all their demands except
for increased wages, and on this
point modified their terms consider
ably.
The union men are to take a refer
endum ballot at once as to whether
the modified terms for a new wage
agreement are to be accepted and
there is a general feeling that the
result of the ballot will be a return to
work.
Upon the outcome of voting in the
central competitive field"-compris-
ing Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana and
Illinois-will depend also the basis
for new wage scales in other sections
of the country where the present
agreements do not expire until May
1 or later. Southern and southwest
ern mines and the comparatively few
in the Rocky Mountain states are af-
fected by this status of afairs
West Virginia and Kentucky btu
minous fields will not be greatly af
fected unless the present "suspen-
sion" becomes a strike. Non-union
labor predominates in these mines
and the men, in similar situations in
the industry, have shown disposi
ton to continue at work.
Approximately 4;OO0,000 men are di-
rectly affected today and some 100000
more, scattered throughout the coal
dsitricts of the country. are watching
the outcome of the suspension" for
its possible effect upon their own
wgaes and working conditions. It
probably will be at least 80 days be-
fore all mines will have resumed. ifl
the referendum votes and conference
es result favorably, and the last ten
days of that period may present a
problem as to fuel supply to indus
tries of all character.
