NO STRIKE PEACE
Rockefeller Refuses to Con-
slider Terms.

NEW YORK, April 27.-John D.
Rockefeller, Jr., and Representative
Martin D. Foster, conferred at length
today on the plea brought from Presi-
dent Wilson to Mr.. Rockefeller to set
tie the Colorado mine strike. Efforts
to learn what line the conference was
taking were futile.
The meeting took place at 26 Broad
way, the Standard Oil building, and
was also attended by Mr.. Rockefeller's
counsel, Starr J. Murphy.
Mr.. Foster left the conference
shortly after 2 o'clock and said he
would not see Mr. Rockefeller again
1t is said Mr.. Rockefeller, Sr, had
received a communication from Pres
ident Wilson asking him to bring
about a peaceful settlement of the
troubles. To this Mr. Rockefeller re-
piled that he had not taken an active
part in the Colorado mining industries
but that he would be glad to ask his
son, John D. Rockefeller, Jr., to take
the matter up at once. The younger
Rockefeller told the congressional in
vestigating committee a few weeks
ago that no further concessions would
be made to the strikers. He said that
this reflected his fathers views.

that his job would mean a monthly
deficit to him if he, had to use his pri-
vate automobile and pay the expenses.
The machine is to be a two cylinder,
seven horse power latest model. The
commissioners asked Mr.. Jones to have
an additional seat in the rear in order
that one of them may accompany him
at times in inspecting roads of their
respective districts.

he had been entirely right about the

There is a lesson here for this town.
You are dependent to a considerable

country that lies back of you.
1t will be splendid thing for this
town if you can keep farm boys at
hime. 1t will be an evil day for this
town when it is surrounded by such
deserted farms as dot many counties
of New England.
Boys do not care to leave the farm
that is prosperous and on which their
lives are pleasant. They are eager to
leave those farms that are non-produc-
tive and which mean nothing but hard
, work and small pay for them. y
Can you blame the boys?

We cast aside the lazy barley, the

cided to accept no more petitions for

advertised for. The great majority
Of the streets, under the action of the

vised to have their oiling petitions in

the dust.

rived and the board decided today to
use most Of 1t to improve streets
which have been oiled.

Trust company had agreed to pur-
chase all bonds issued for the con-
struction of the park sewer system.

ment. 1t is now believed contractors
will be interested in the project

mond avenue from West Fifth street
