NODEVELOPMENTS
 IN THE COAL STRIKE

London. March s.-Official statements issued this evening concerning the num- erous conferences held today in connee- tion with the coal strike were devoid or information as to the results. The neSo- tiations were renewed this morning with hopes that a speedy settlement would be reached but nothing has been disclosed indicating progress in that direction. AS result rumors are abundant but all ap- parently are founded on surmise
 The miners representatives conferred with the premier and his colleagues TOT nearly three hours and the official report says that at Mir Asquith's request they promised to attend further conferences TT desired.' From this it is deduced that the premier has not yet abandoned hope of finding basis for agreement between the disputants. It Is said that the mlnsrs adhered steadfastly to their previous acc larations that they would not consent 70 any settlement which did not assure the adoption of their own schedule of minl- mum rates.
 Tn the house of commons the prime minister characterized as purely imagin- ary the newspaper Gtpole lhos nv "
 introduce minimum wage bill today.
 The Archbishop of Canterbury appealed in special prayer for a termination oi the strike. Meanwhile the miners con- tinue to be masters of the situation. ln- dustrial paralysis is fast spreading over the country.
 Pressure from the trades unions of many industries on the ground that they will be thrown out of employ ment on account of the coal strike VIII play a large part in the settlement of the coal strike, it is believed.
 Today, for the first time, Ramsay Macdonald and other parliamentary la bor leaders came into the negotiations supposedly in behalf of the anected unions and it is announced on good authority that the miners federation had yielded as far as to permit long discussion with the members of the government ofsthe minimum wage scale with view to finding basis of com promise. it is not expected that there will be much further opposition to a settle ment, even by the Welsh mine owners

Recognized by Supreme Court

II thus appears that it has been offi- cially recognized by the supreme court, as is set forth In the words of Justice Bradley, that the people of the United States have actually construed for them selves the constitution of the United States, reversing and overriding the de- csion of the supreme court in so do- ing. All I ask is that what the people of the nation have actually done the peo- pie of each state shall actually be al- lowed to do. Let the power so secured to them he a real and not nominal pow CT, power of actual exercise; power which shall not be exercised save after sober and deliberate thought, but which shall permit such sober and deliberate judgment of the people to become. as it should become. the unquestioned law of the land

Trieber on Eleventh Amendment

 merely explanatory, and in effect reverses
 the decision of the supreme court rem dered in Chisolm vs. Georgia by declar- ing that the judicial power of the United States shall not be construed to extend to any suit in law or equity commenced or prosecuted against one of the United States by citizens of another state, or by
 citizens or subjects of any foreign coun- try Judge Trieber also refers to the
 decision rendered in another case by the
 supreme court through MT. Justice Brad

Be Frank, He Says

In concluding, then, let me ask those who disagree with me frankly to state whether or not they believe that the peo- pie have the right to rule themselves and to settle for themselves the course they wish to pursue as regards great and vital questions of public policy. If our opponents do not believe in this right of the people. then they must re- prdiate the principles and the policies of Abraham Lincoln If they are true to the teachings of Lincoln, if they do be- leve in the right of the people to rule then they are bound also to hold that the power of the people, in the language of Mir.

a sober and deliberate Judgment then it Is impossible that they should ever so come. If they have not the character and the intelligence 70 enable them, after two years deliberation, after see ing the whole matter throshed out by the legislature and before the exec utive and by the court, and finally by public speakers in an election, to them selves decide what they meant when they framed the eon-.itution, tien tt is idle talk of their being fit to frame a constitution.
 Judges Recognize Masters
 The wisest judges have always fully recognized this right of the people to rule, this right of the people to be their own masters and ultimate to decide their own policy As former Chief JUS tice Campbell of Michigan said: The greatest Knowledge that we have in this world is the common knowledge of the common people" l do not propose to give the people any new power. l propose to. restore to them the power out of which they have been defrauded. the power which 1t is their right and their duty to exercise. I propose to provide a better and more effective method for the exercise of the power reserved and inherent in the people to make or unmake their constitution or Iconstrue fthe constitution in accord ance With their well considered needs I preach no new doctrine. The pro posal that I make for the several states was in actual practice acted upon by the people of this whole nation but a very short time after the constitution was adopted. The United States dis trict judge for the Eastern district of Arkanas, Judge Trieber, in 1907, in an article in the American Law Review discussed the decision of the supreme nF I,a pban two or three years after it had come into being, 1t decided that under the language of the constitution a state was liable to be sued In that court by q citizen of another state or of foreign country.

Fatal Motor Accidents.
To the Editor Of The Star:

To the Editor or 1Re ctdT.
Your excellent editorial of Monday is a
step in the right direction, keep the. bur-
den of responsibility placed squarely upon
the drivers of cars" This applies equally
to wagons, trolleys, motors. equestrfans.
hicycles and all others, and it applies also
to pedestrians.
II when crossing street can rest as
sured that drivers and chauf1eurs are look
ing out for me and will swerve a little
to one side in order to pass by me with
out injury then pass on without anxiety
or worry or hesitation. But when the
street resounds with many wild toots and
nv attention Is directed in several d.
rections how can I possibly keep out of
the way of all simultaneously? Only
very expert athlete familiar with golf
and base ball and foot ball could do 1t,
but most Of us must simply stop abrupt
Nv. as when the fire engine bells order US
to stand and wait till the rush has passed
by.
All this we'll intentioned footing by au-
tomobiles really does more harm than
good. The trolleys cannot leave their
tracks, but the autos can easily avoid us
without frightening us. Even II they run
over us the footing does no good. for We
are already under the wheels. The toot-
the right of way. but the law does not
uphold him in this idea when it comes to
a trial by jury. Both he and the public
would be on better terms and annoy each
other less IL all footing could be abol-
ished. The mere fact that he wishes to
speed up to the twenty-mile limit puts
upon him the responsibility for distract.
