SEE CLEAN OF HOPE.
English Mine Owners Think Threat
ened Strike May Be Averted.

London, Feb. 19.-While all the
preparations that have been made in
the coal fields of the United Kingdom
are for war rather than for peace,
there is just a CLEAN of hope that
the threatened strike of nearly a mil
lion men at the end of the month will
be averted. The fact has just been
disclosed that William f. Harvey, the
labor member of parliament for
Northeast Derby, who is secretary of
the miners federation, accompanied
by five representatives of the English
miners, is holding meetings privately
with five mine owners in the hope of
preparing a basis for peace. Besides
this, the conciliation board of the Eng
lish federation area is also meeting
today.
Should progress be made in the eff
fort to reach a settlement in Eng
land, South Wales and Scotland will
remain the chief obstacles to an
agreement
The authorities look on Wales as the
great danger spot and having regard
to the disturbances which occurred
there last year. the chief constable of
Glamorganshire has suggested to the
magistrate that an application should
be made for the drafting of a body
of 1900 infantry and LOO cavalry
into the affected areas

Mayor Billiard Introduces High
er Wage Ordinance.
STATE TOOK NO ACTION TODAY
Labor at S1.25 Was Resumed
Under MeIan Bridge.
Commissioners Bone and Tan
dy Will "Stand Pat"

From actions taken by city commits
sioners at the city hall this morning
it is apparent that the state labor
commissioner and the City Industrial
council have won their fight for high
er wages among municipal charity
gangs" Mayor Billiard has prepared
an ordinance calling for an advance
from $1-25 a day to $1-60 a day on
the charity labor This complies with
the order of the state.
1t was thought that the mayor,
supported by Commissioner Tandy and
Com missioner Stotts, would fight the
demands of the labor commissioner.
In former arguments it was set forth
that the city could not afford to pay
$1.60 day for charity labor and that
hundreds of men could be found who
work gladly for $1.25 a day.
The mayor has changed his mind,
however, and the looked for litiga-
ton between the city and the state
has been avoided. Commissioner Mill
er will support the mayor in his new
wage ordinance and in all probability
Commissioner Stotts will follow suit
Commissioners Tandy and Bone will
stand pat for 1925 a day. No weak
knees with them.
Mayor Would Avoid Trouble
The mayor gave as his reasons this
morning his desire to keep the work
under the Melan bridge and at the
same time avoid litigation and trouble
with the state
Il don't like this continual litiga-
ton" the mayor explained. 'The city
has been through enough of it for
few years. knd since the ground has
thawed out the city is able to get
more work from the charity gangs
under the Melan bridge We are able
now to dig out the dirt in good shape.
In other words, believe we are able
to get our moneys worth.
Il don't consider that the city vio
lates the law in keeping the men at
work for $1.25 a day. ] do not fear
running the risk of prosecution in
case we resume work at this price
But do believe we can adjust mat
ters to the satisfaction of both sides
and still get the worth of our money
from the labor we hire.
BY increasing the pay we can avoid
future trouble. Anything to avoid this
continual wrangling."
Commits -io1er Miller always has ia
vored $1.5O a day. He will support the
mayor in his contentious. Commissioner
Stotts said he would have 10 fhink over
the matter before he would make
known his vote. This means, to the
city hall officials, that Stotts will sup
port the mayor.
Work under the Melan bridge was
resumed this morning despite the or
ders from Labor Commissioner Doyle
that the city f'cials could be rose
cuted in case they made this move.
But the ordinance introduced by Mayor
Billiard held off the prosecution papers.

TAFT'S LETTER MAGIC
Attorney Amazed by Favors Shown by
King George.

New York, Feb. 19.-Jonathan Bryan. a
Richmond lawyer who is in New York
today, at the conclusion of a trip around
the world, which began last July attend
ed the Delhi Durbar practically as the
guest of King George, owing to the
magic influence of a letter from Presi-
dent Taft which he carried Mr. Bryan
told of the incident on his arrival here
re said:
Mrs. Bryan and I were very anxious
to witness the durbar ceremonies but as
we neared India, we found that no
amount of money could obtain accommo-
dations I had about abandoned the idea
when I thought of my letter from Presi-
dent Taft, which was in the nature of a
general note of Introduction and part
of the various credentials which I car
ried.
4 forwarded the Taft note to the sec
retary of the durbar and was amazed on
reaching Calcutta to discover an answer
in the shape of a special train, reserved
for Mr. and Mrs. Bryan. We were con-
veyed to the durbar in state and seats
were assigned to US on the gold and pu--
ple carpet within 100 feet of the king and
oueen We witnessed and heard the
whole ceremony and then were conducted
back to Calcutta in the same special
train. No greater favors could have been
shown to US than we're won by President
Tafta letter.
