tees, with nine other institutions in
other several States to receive 49,

President Plans to Save Millions.

President TAFT sent TO congress his
second message OF the present year on
economy ard efficiency in the govern.
ment service. lie recommended the
passage OF legislation designed to save
more than sli.o00.00O annually
Probably his two most striking pro.
posals are that the local government
Offices In the treasury. postoiilce. JUS
tice. interior and commerce and labor
departments. be placed in the classi-
fled service, taking them ont OF poll
tics. and that the revenue cutter ser.
vice be consolidated with the light.
house service in the department Of
commerce and labor
BY the irst change the president
says congress could effect saving OF
at least si0.0O00O0 annually and. al.
though in this message he l.ves no
figures for the consolidation Of the two
services of the sea. in previous mes
sage on the same subject. he predicted
economies that would total abou, ST..
000.000 yearly,
The president closes his message
with an appeal for the 100000 appro-
priation necessary 10 support the
economy and efficiency commission Tor
another year. with $4,000 additional
for the publication OF the commission s

Would RecOnvene Coal Board
to Settle Dispute.
UNION LEADERS OPPOSED
Suggestion is Held In Allegiance Until
Differences Are Considered by Sub
Committee Of Both Parties.

Speaking for the coal operators
throaga out the anthracite field. Georse
+. Baer. president Of the Philadelphia
a. Reading railway. and chairman OF
the operators committee, proposed u
the Representatives OF the United
Mine Workers of America. In a con
ference held in Philadelphia that the
disputes n present between the EN-.
ployers and the men be submitted
to the surviving members OF tie
Roosevelt anthracite coal strike com
mission, which settled the coal strike
OF 1902.
This proposal was made after the
miners mad presented TO the commit
tee OF operators lengthy argument in
support OF nine demands which the
operators refused to grant at the con.
ference in New York. March 10.
Special stress was laid in this ar.
gument upon the demand for recog.
milton Of the miners union. without
which. 1t was asserted. there could be
no lasting peace in the anthracite re.
gions.
II was declared also that the award
OF the anthracite strike commission
In 1909. while II has been adhered 70
for more than nine years. was unsa
isfaciory to the miners and that there
has long been feeling of unrest and
dissatisfaction throughout the Penn
syivania hard coal fields.
Because OF this attitude. 1t is under
stood that the union leaders opposed
commission as a third party to pass
upon their differences with the oper-
ators In consequence of this opposi.
ton Ii was decided to continue nego.
tiatons direct between the officers OF
the union and the operators represen.
tatiyes. at least until II should become
apparent that there was no possibility
OF the two reaching an agreement.
In accordance with this a resolution
was passed by which subcommittee
OF eight was created. composed OF four
members OF the operators committee
and four OF the union representatives
Alvin Markle. OF fiazleton, an indie.
pendent coal operator. was named for
chairman OF the subcommittee. and
James A. German. secretary OF the
Cancellation board. was made secre
tary.
The general committee OF operators
and representatives is subject to meet
at the call Of Chairman Markle. OF the
subcommittee.
The operators who are on the sub
committee are. W. j Richards, vice
president and general manager Of the
