FEARFUL OF STRIKE In WEST
ERN WASHINGTON is Said
TO BE The. CAUSE.
Agreement Between Owners and Min
ers Ends September 1 and They Are
Preparing for Trouble-ls Denied
BY Company-Ohe Mine Closed on
Account of the Union.

Seattle, Wash.-In anticipation, it is
said, Of labor trouble at the mines in
western Washington, from which it
obtains it's fuel supply, the Northern
Pacific Railroad company is storing
As, 1000 tons of coal at its Puget Sound
terminals. A pile of $4,000 tons of
coal has been accumulated at Seattle
and 80, 10000 tons more are being stored
at Auburn, 20 miles south of here,
where the transcontinental line con-
meets with the Coast line.
The Chicago, Milwaukee & Puget
Sound railway, the Great Northern and
the O~regon-Washington Railroad and
Navigation company burn oil on most
of their lines in Washington and
would not be affected by a strike in
the mines.
The agreement between the opera
tors and the miners ends September 1.
Agents of the union and the operators
are conducting negotiations for a new
agreement and labor leaders predict
that all differences will be adjusted
satisfactory.
Explanation by Company.
1t is said at Northern Pacific head
quarters at Tacoma that coal is being
collected at the company's terminals
only in order that the cars may be
ready for use in hauling the grain
crop. The adjustment of working con-
ditions between the union ard the rail
road up September l, and it
was admitted in case of a strike the
coal at the terminals would come in
handy. There are not known to be any
differences between the railroads and
miners and no reasons for a strike
are known to exist, railroad men say.
The agreement between the miners
and the railroads is signed every two
years and there is naturally a certain
amount of uncertainty on both sides
before sign ltures are affixed.
The Bayne mine is not owned by
the Northern Pacific railway. The
miners have a union there, and as the
mine operators objected to the union,
the mine was closed.

Lincoln, Neb., Dec. 27.-Gov.


Aldrich is in a peeved frame of
mind, and has served notice on all
loan sharks that he will ask the
legislature to pass a bill driving
them out of business.
The governor began his, cam
paign personally yesterday by
threatening to put at least one
loan shark out of business by
force of arms.
The shark went to the gov
ernor and asked him to compel a
state employee to pay exorbitant
interest on a loan.
The governor gave the shark
the choice of leaving his office in
a hurry or being thrown out. The
shark was not thrown out.

AS a result two officers We're

the officials of the Western Union,

having trouble to secure the desired
information os to wireless message
Chairman Smith Of the committee

float from sinking vessels and the
construction of passenger steamers
with double hulls and extended
water tight compartments. He
