which expires March 81, the Joint
conference of operators and miners
IRON western Pennsylvania, Ohio. In
diana and Illinois adjourned sine die.
1t was announced this action does

main for the two sides to get to-
gether in another effort. 1t was pre-
dlcted that another conference will
be held before April i.
John p. White, international presi-
dent OF the United Mine Workers of
America, was instructed to call to-
gether the policy committee of the
organization whenever he deems il
necessary.
The policy committee is made up
OF representatives from every district
In the United States and Canada.
Inc break came on the demand
that local differences be settled within
local districts. The operators refused
this and proposed:
THAT International differences be

GUS districts affected, it being under
stood that nothing shall be done in
district or sub-district conventions

ton or reduce the earning capacity of

Two Viewpoints.

Secretary Daniels, apropos Of his
refusal to interfere with the custom Of
christening ships with champagne,
said at a luncheon:
You see. this matter can be looked
at from two absolutely opposite points
of view. A temperance orator, for ex-
ample, once said to a shipowner:
y was glad to e that at the re-
cent launching you christened your
new boat with water instead of vine.
The shipowner, ruddy and fat,
chuckled and answered in rich, husky
tones:
Yes, indeed! 1t was full time to
inaugurate this reform. With the
present scarcity of vintage wines I'll
waste no more of them on foolish
ness"

INTERNAL MACHINE
KILLS ILL|N0|SAA
SUSPECTED DANGER, BUT De.
cIDEo HIS SKILL WOULD OBJ
WAITE AN EXPLOSION.
SIDE OF HOUSE TORN AWAY
Former Companions in counterfeitina
Sent Internal Machine, Federal
Officers Theory-Wife Held,
But Released Later.

Sullivan, Hl.--Frederick W. Men
nerich was killed by the explosion of
a bomb which he received from De
catur by mail and tried to open after
deciding that his ability as an expert
repair man would prevent ignition of
the explosive.
Mennerich was terribly mutilated,
and lived but two hours aftev tne dy.
Mantle had exploded, tearing away
part Of the side of his house.
Mennerich's wife, from whom he
had been separated several months,
was arrested at Springfield, ILL.,, as a
witness, but later was released, as
she knew nothing about the bomb.
The case was reported to federal
officers, who evolved the theory that
former companions of Mennerich in
counterfeiting may have sent the ma
chine.
Mennerich received the fatal pack
age by mail the day before. 1t had
been mailed in Decatur. From the
appearance of the parcel Mennerich
decided it was an explosive apparatus
and refused to open it.
He wrote a letter to his wife in
Springfield, telling her about the
package. He said in the letter that
he had decided to open the package,
as he knew how to do so without
causing an explosion, if the box proved
to contain dynamite.
This letter was not mailed. 1t was
found unsealed in the yard after the
explosion. This fact led the sheriff
to believe that possibly Mennerich
had made the machine himself to
up suicide.
His face was terribly mutilated,
One arm was blown off and one leg
was torn away. He recovered con-
seriousness after being found, only
enough to gasp: What happened?"
Another clew has been found in a
slip of paper on Mennerich's body,
which contained the words:
"If anything happens to me, see
John Balcam."
The only person of that lame in
Sullivan is a boy, and he is not be.
lieved to be implicated in any way.
