miners REFUSE
ANY COMP PRONISE
THE NEGOTIATIONS WE'RE POST
PONED AGAIN UNTIL NEXT
TUESDAY.
NO settlement IN SIGHT
Miners Declare That Unless Their De-
Hours are Net, They VIII Quit.

CLEyELANIe. Ohio, March a.
Negotiations between the 100000
miners in the bituminous coal fields
of western Pennsylvania, Ohio, In
diana and Illinois and the operators
for an adjustment of wage differ
ences late tonight were postponed
until next Tuesday.
Two compromise offers by the op
orators were voted down by the min
ers. These offers were:
That the present wage and work.
ing scale be continued for two years
after its expiration on April /.
That there be no suspension of the
mines on any account.
The miners had asked for a ten per
cent increase in pay and a shirtening
of working hours. AS against this the
operators asked that the wage scale
be cut down ten per cent.
Indications that there will be no
immediate settlement We're shown In
the afternoon, when a subcommittee,
composed of eight miners and eight
operators began considering com
promise which they were to report
back to the full conference.
The full conference, composed of
sixty-four members for two days had
heard the demands OF the miners for
a ten per cent increase and reduc-
ton of days working hours from
eight to seven, with five hours on Sat
urday. and had failed to agree. The
whole dispute then had been referred
to the subcommittee.
Miners Renewed Demands.
When the subcommittee met the
miners renewed their demands. John
=. White, president of the United
Mine Workers of America. told the
committee:
Conditions are such that the coal
miners of this country cannot, with
their present pay, live like they ought
to live. They are not on "A par with
other labor. and we will not continue
TO work after April 1 with our pres
ent pay and long working hours II
our demands are granted we will go
right on without suspension; II they
are denied or modified we will sus-
pend"
The eight operators replied that the
demands altogether would cause a
twenty per cent increase in the pay
roll. and that this increase was not
warranted by the present earning
power OF the mines.

Is WON BY THE GOVERN
MENT'S FORCES.
BETTER ARMS A FACTOR
Victorious Army VIII Continue North
ward Toward Jimincz, Where
Battle Is Expected.

MEXICO CITY, March 22.-Tht

bering 500 men, commanded by Gen
eral Taucy Aubert met and defeated
1900 rebels under General Salazar
twenty miles south of Jiminez today.
according to reports received at tho
government offices here.
For five hours, according to this

whom they finally routed on account
of their superior arms and discipline

vancing steadily from Torreon toward
the north for three days, while the
rebel body sent out by General Orozco
has been moving triumphantly south
ward from chihuahua for week.
The scouts of the two armies sighted
one another at 7 o'clock this morning
and preparations began on both sides
for an immediate battle. The fight
occurred on open ground, giving both
forces an excellent opportunity for
employment of their cavalry. Several
machine guns In the hands of the reb,
els are given much credit for the re.
ported federal success.

ernment officials, the only account
which reached the city during the day,
stated that the routed rebels set up
hasty retreat for Jlmnez General

PASSED FUNNY RESOLUTION
WOODEN ENGINEERED SCliEMl.
TO TAKE ALL THE POWER
OUT or SANDS HANDS.
IS POLITICAL CH|CANERY
The Voters VIII See Through THIS
scheme and Rcbukc the Admin
istraton as They Deserve.

Backed in every move by the city
administration, Frank NJ. Wooden,
democratic nominee for mayor, Is
resorting to every possible method
whereby he can defend himself and
the other city officials. A strong
evidence of what drastic measures
Wooden is taking, that he might re-
ceiVe credit for accomplishments
that are not due, was shown yester-
day at the regular session of the city
commissioners, which was presided
over by Wooden in the absence OF
Mayor Martin, when peculiar reso-
luton was passed.
1t is a we'll known fact that the
only substantial progress made dur
ing the regime of the present admin
istration has been the advancement
and betterment of the water works
department. This department. since
it's inception, has been under the di-
rect control and supervision of Byron
II. Sands, who Is universally refog-
nized as one of the most able water
works experts in the Southwest. Mr..
Sands has held office under three or
four administrations and politics have
never creeped into his department
until lately. when the democratic city
hall gang started something that they
will probably have a hard time fin
lshing

oor, who was given his position mere
ly and sololy as a reward for politl-
cal work done by him, Is the man
tor the place.
Some one Forgot
The commissioners have had Il
lapse of memory. They forget how
some months ago Mr. Sands was
made an alluring offer to take tho
superlntendency of water works
system In much larger city, at l.
larger salary. and how they raised
Mr. Sands salary, to retain him here,
In spite OF their personal ill-feelinB
toward him. They forget that they
then feared the wrath OF an indlg-
nant public should they allow II man
to leave the citys employ whose ef-
forts for the city AT large had result
ed In Tulsa securing one of the Wild
est known and most complimented
water works system to be found any
where.
And after they had passed their
little resolution the commissioners,
especially Mr.. Wooden, thought OF
how they could point to the magnif-
iccnt water works of the city, and
say I'VE did It. Sands was only a cog
in the wheel. He was under the city
engineer and u.s."
And In conclusion, please put pin
ON this: Mr.. Sands Is the only re-
publican appointive officer in the
cty's SERVICE.
Is 1t clear?

Sands Did the Work.

W
lshing.
Sands Did the Work.
City Engineer Hughes has always
been an enemy of Sands, as has
Mayor Martin. The city engineer has
tried to block every move made by
Sands in the water department, but
notwithstanding this fact the commits
sIoners were forced, in the end, to
recognize Sands superior knowledge
as regards water works construction
matters. Every improvement that
has been made in this department
has been done on the recommenda-
tion of the water superintendent, and
the plans for the new pump station.
now being built were first drawn and
advanced by Mr.. Sands.
Toward the close of the present ad-
ministration's term, few of the Of
ficials realized that one of the big
gest things that had been accom-
plshed during their regime, was the
laying out of the new well system OF
water supply for the city A sudden
change OF spirit was noticed on the
part OF Commissioner j. III. Wheatley
and his colleagues. Before this they
had allowed Sands to run the water
works department. But when they
saw that his efforts had been sue
cessful to an eminent degree. there
was a wild rush and an unprecedent-
ed activity to gain some of the praise
that was coming to Sands. Commls-
sloner Wheatley almost took the job
of experimenting the well work out
of Mr.. Sands hands. Inexperience on
his part resulted In the first of these
wells costing the city several hundred
dollars more than would have been
expended had the work been done
by a man whose experience had quail
flied him for the job.
Started the knifing.
And when the World, in its news
stories. and at no time on the solicit
tation, or with the previous knowl-
edge of Superintendent Sands. gave
the latter credit for these accom-
plishments, the broadside was Bit
terly felt at the city hall. In divers
ways. unfair and low, the officials
began knitting Mr.. Sands in the back.
But he did not say anything. He was
satisfied with the result Of his work.
and he asked for no praise.
But when Frank Wooden was NOM
mated for office. 1t was seen that the
water works department would make
him a strong political weapon. So
yesterday the commissioners, at the
request OF Wooden and Hughes, put
through a little Joker" A resolu-
ton was passed wirtch read, in sub
stance as follows:
"All construction work connected
with the water works system Of the
city shall hereafter be under the sup
ervision Of the city engineer and no
alteration or additions to the present
pumping station. reservoirs, mains.
and equipment shall be undertaken
or made except upon plan ap-
proved by the city engineer or the
commissioner of water works and
sewerage and adopted by the board
