EASTERN ONO
OPERATORS OUT
Long Expected Breaks Occurs al
the Conference.
SITUATION NOW UP IN THE AIR

Mine Owners In the Hooking, Pom
eroy Jackson and crooksVille Dis
trlets viii Attempt to Draft Seal
For These seetions-Miners 81
Insist on Their Original Proposal.
The Outlook.
Columbus, June 2j.-All hopes for
complete settlement OF the wage diff
culties OF Ohio coal operators and
miners we're shattered suddenly when
eastern Ohio operators and those of
the Cambridge district withdrew from
the joint wage conference.
The long expected break between
the operators has left the coal mining
situation in an uncertain stage. Those
Withdrawing from the conference an
nounced they have finished negotia-
tions with representatives of the min
ers' union. They represent an annual
output Of about 20.000.000 tons.
Operators in the Hooking, Pomeroy,
Jackson, Crooksville and a part of the
Bergholz districts remained in the
conference and viii attempt to make
a scale for these districts. Little
hope, however, was expressed that an
agreement can be reached for these
districts. Several operators expressed
the belief that a mistake had Been
made by the eastern and Cambridge
operators in withdrawing. They in
sisted that all should have stood to-
gether.
After the eastern Ohio and Cam
bridge operators had withdrawn,
those remaining asked the miners
representatives TO name their terms.
They still insisted on the original pro-
posal Of 1854 cents for mine run ma
chine mined coal. Operators declared
they could not possibly meet these fig
ures, and suggested 43 cents a ton.
This is an increase Of 1.SS cents per
ton over what previously had been Of
fered, which was Alp cents. This
proposal was declined by the miners,
who insisted they are under instruc-
tions not to accept other than 1854
cents.
1t is reported that the miners may
suggest that the mine run rate he as
certained by taking an average of
screenings Of the entire state. This
method would produce a rate of about
45 cents. it was said. Operators of the
four districts insist that, if a scale
finally is agreed on, it shall be for the
entire state and that no other district
shall have a lower rate. National Sec
retary-Treasurer William Green has
agreed to this proposal, but others of
the miners representatives have made
no promises.

TEACHING OF THE FOURTH.
BY Rev. Francis E. Clark.

BY Rev. Francis {. Clark.
Our nation has been marvel
ously prospered in the past be
cause the great heart of the peo-
pie has been sound and true.
We have been, for the. most
part, true to the traditions of
the fathers. We have kept in
good degree to the simplicity
and God fearing purpose of the
pilgrims. We have sought to
make America an asylum for the
oppressed and to stand for
righteousness and liberty and
peace among the nations Of the
) world. Because Of this great
underlying purpose, in spite of
many mistakes and wanderings
from the highest ideal. God has
wonderfully blessed us. We are
among the live and living ma
tions of the day, as Lord Sails
bury expresses it. and not among
the dying nations. Then, in con-
clusion. let one with seven gen
erations of American and Puri-
tan blood in his veins urge you,
patriotic young Christian Ameri-
cans, to be true to your great
inheritance, to remember all the
way in which God has led us in
the past, to stand for our coun-
try when she is right, but new
er for "our country right or
wrong" to use the victories of
the past as not abusing them,
and to resolve that because Of
the great favor Of our God we
will do our very best to make
our beloved land a righteous,
God fearing, peace loving ma
ton, ever the refuge and the
champion, of the oppressed and
never a bombastic bully among
the nations of the earth.

tlef OF the American navy
we owe at least a part of our
independence. Barry was the
senior, the commanding officer of the
American navy in the Revolution and
at one time John Paul Jones served
under him. Barry came to America
from Ireland when fifteen years old
and elected to make the sea his pro-
fession. He soon took rank as a sailor
Of rare ability and commanded num-
Der of big merchant ships. At the out
break of the Revolution he was COM
missioned to command the brig Lex
ington of sixteen guns, and this vessel
was the first to fly the Continental flag.
He captured the first ship ever taken
by an American warship. Later he
commanded the Ellington and the Raj
eigh.
The greatest battle of Barry's career
was the contest between the Alliance
and Atlanta and Trespassy, which he
compelled to surrender. He served till
at the age Of fifty-eight he died in
Philadelphia in 1903. His remains lie
in St Mary's churchyard in Philadel-
phia.
The Barry tomb is one of the most
impressive mementos of him because
Of the inscription which it bears. 1t
says in part: HE fought often and
bled in the cause of freedom, but his
deeds of valor did not diminish the
virtues which adorned his private life.
He was eminently gentle, kind. just
and charitable. beloved by family,
friends and country" There are va
rious monuments to Barry in America,
One Of them stands in Independence
square, Philadelphia.
The memory of Barry is revered by
Irish-Americans. and various move
ments looking to the payment of homer
to his memory have been inaugurated

 The time is coming, and is now here, when government shall begin to un- dertake the real business of governing which is the organization and prOtec- tion of industry.
 With the putting aside of militarism the curse of the people, comes a change. Government cases to be a war machine, a huge engine of possible de- StruCtiOn, and becomes a business con- cern. an agent of production.
 We are already perceiVing that the function of the nation and of the state Is primarily and chiefly to arrange for and to maintain, in justice 10 all, the proper distribution of the wealth that flows from the land.

TIME FOR CLEANUP WEEK.

The time is approaching when some thought must be directed towards the organization of cleanup week or campaign if one is 10 be held this spring and 8 sufficient amount of time allowed for perfeeting the details and organization. Fhere were good results from the inauguration of tine plan last year. but if is net to be supposed that ons frfaf will develop all the interest possible or bring cut the best in such an undertaking, The greatest value in such an effort for the cleaning up and thereby an important step towards the Identification of a city. lies in keeping steadfasuy at it each year. Thus is 1t possible to Hot only sustain but in- crease the interest and activity and keep civic pride at a proper point for the hest results
 Inc cleanup campaign is one which has made a strong appeal throughout the cessatrs. In New England alone it Is 1eciaxed that fully i've hundred cities and towns are organizing fer the purpose of deEoffng a week during the next month or 50 to making the places cleaner, healthier and more attractive both for those who live there and for visitors and traders Such a manifes- tRffon of interest fin home and city has an endless number of commendable features. There are a great number who will do it anyway, even to add ing the paint-up to the cleanup idea, but 1t is through an organized effort that the best results can be obtained. Norwich has seen benefits from it's last undertaking, but 1t still has cp- portunity for much more improvement. and 1t is none too early to begin to think about it
