STRIKE IS FAR AWAY.
Dispute Between Miners and Opera
tors Reaches the Discussion Stage.

New York, March 14.-While the
members of the miners committee.
meeting today to consider the COM
p1ete refusal by the operators of their
demands for a 20 per cent increase in
wages, recognition of the union and
eight hour work day and other con-
ditions at the mines, were uncommun-
icative, they expressed the opinion
that the counter proposition made by
the operators yesterday to continue
the present working agreement fer
three years was made for the purpose
of paving the way for a compromise
agreement.
The present agreement is objection
able to the miners but the counter pro-
posal of the operators gives an oppor-
tunity for the miners to debate the
matter with the operators which may
lead to a compromise. There also were
reports today that the hard coal miners
committee would ask when they met
with the operators tomorrow for a
further extension of time in order to
await the result OF the conferences be-
tween the bituminous operators and
their miners in the west next week.
Should neither side yield the question
of strike would be taken up by what is
known as the policy committee at a
meeting to be called later. This COM
mittee made up of anthracite and BIZ
luminous miners, has the power to re-
commend a strike but following such
recommendation the question has to he
put to vote of the miners.

POLICE JOTTINGS.

| Nose Wilson, alias Enochs. was ar
rested by the police late Wednesday
afternoon and is suspected of entering
the home of Oscar Nelson at 419 East
Fairchild street with an intent of burg
larry. Enochs was seen entering the
front door of the house about 1870
O'Clock during the afternoon by Mrs.
John Crawford, who lives next door.
quarters and Officers Walker and
Haney were sent to make an investiga-
ton. The intruder left through a rear
door.
Oscar Nelson and his sister. Miss
Mary Nelson, live in the house but both
are employed during the day and are
not at home excepting at night a9d on
Sundays. This is supposed to have been
known by Enochs and supposed to have
been his reason for wanting to ransack
employed at the Wolff Packing Plant
and his sister is employed by Charles S.
Eagle the cigar manufacturer.
From information that could be Sc
cured by the police. EnOchs was in the
house but about five minutes but dur
ing that time he searched drawers, up
set pieces of furniture and practically
everything in the house that he might
find money or articles of value. Miss
Nelson had q small amount of money
SecreteQ IN the mouse DuC ne failed TO
find it. Nothing of any value is miss
ing. The police believe that they have
sufficient information to convince the
court that Enochs is the man who was
in the house and will ask Mr.. Nelson to
file a complaint that the negro be turn
ed over to the sheriff on a state war
rant and be required to answer to the
charges in the district court.
o. Williams, alias Joe Finlay was ar
rested by Officer Trimble and Officer |
Bell of the Rock Island, Wednesday |
night while drunk and in the yards Of
the Rock Island. The officers saw the |
man in the yards and thought he was |
trying to break into some cars when |
they arrested him.
Carl and William Thompson the two |
negro boys who were arrested in North |
Topeka on the charge of stealing chick |
ems are being held. Up to the present |
time the officers have failed to find |
anybody that could identify them The |
officers are hunting for one or two |
other persons who it is believed can
identify the boys and if they fail, the
boys will be released.

CONGRESSMAN KoPp NOT a CANDIDATE

A Washington dispatch contains infor-
nation Of and the declaration of Con-
gresham Arthur w. Kopp that he will
not stand for denomination at the Sep
TENDER primary. He says that in his
first contest he had stated that two
terms should be the limit of his seeking
if his party gave him a nomination and
the people favored him by election, and
that he proposes to keep faith with his
early declaration. That the young con-
gresham has made creditable recocd
and served with fidelity and been re-
sponsive to the demands of constitu-
ents, the CENSOR believes none will at
tempt to deny. HIS service has been
during a period of party strife and be-
littlement and personal and official de-
nunciation AMI detraction that is tend
ing to drive every self-respecting man
from politics and official station: time
when men who entertain opinions of
their own on economic and governmental
questions ate 10th to give expression to
them because Of the organized purpose
to break down and destroy every man
who presumes to hold sentiments at
variation with ruling politicians, those
making politics a business. When the
reign of terror has run it course and
people realize the dream they have
passed through there will be better
estimation of man and policies. Many
honest men who have been denounced
as enemies to the republic will find a
higher place in public confidence. That
Congressman Kopp and hundreds of
public servants have found this char
acter of political warfare repugnant TO
their better sense of right and justice.

WHAT IS trALL ABOUT. AsYw AY7

A. first hand information for its read
ers, from the official who is charged
with administration Of the law, the
CENSOR, today. gives publicity to a
s. COZ communication by Income AS
SCISSOR Bergen, who seeks to provide
the public with guidance in considering
and executing their statements for in
come tax. The CENSOR publishes these
letters cheerfully, as matter Of duty
to readers, not because it favors the
new law. We have before expressed
The belief that the purpose of the same
to be tax on industry.
! We desire to call attention to some
i seeming Inconsistencies:
All wages, salaries or fees derived
rom services, provided that compen-
ssiion to puolie officers for public SER
vice shall rot be computed as part of
he taxablc income in such case where
b. axation thereof would be repugna Mt
tn the constitution. - Letter of last
week
The salaries of state. county. town,
city and village officers are not exempt
under this law; only the salaries of u.
S fiieials, such as postmasters, post
office clerks, u. S judges, etc. This
weeks communication.
Repugnant to the constitution, is
certainly good. State authorities an
nounced, following passage OF the law,
that salaries of all officials under the
state government were exempt. Now
United States official only are the ia
vored ones. Pray. why should there be
any such exemption? We presume this
is question very many with an in
quiring turn of mind will desire to have
explained.
Again Mr.. Bergen says in this week s
letter:
"You will see that anyone already
paying tax on any amount of personal
property will pay very little if any in
come tax"
If the income tax is not to return a
profit to the state or the local COM
munities, why this army of fresh Of
icials turned loose upon the people to
exact something that does not produce
revenue or pay for administering?
And if all personal property is eventu-
ally to be exempt will not the full tax
burden, in due time, fall on land?
In connection with this co nment we
append paragraph from the current
issue Of the Dodgeville Chronicle. We
do not vouch for it's correctness, but
presume that paper has dug sufficiently
into the bowels Of the income goat to
know what its statement means. Here
it is:
THE income tax law requires every
farmer to keep an accurate account of
all products from the farm used in
table living and the amount will be sub
! ject to the tax. On your farm home
you will be charged fixed rent each
month"
