Mines MAY Be CLOSED
Down Indefinitely
Central Coal & Iron Company
Posts Notice at Central
City.

Greenville. Ky, Feb. 16.-On sat
urday of last week the management
of the mines of the Central Coal &
Iron Company, at Central City. post
ed notices that on and after Febru-
airy 90 the mines at Central City
would be closed down for an indefi-
mite period. and further that they
might not resume at alb s. J. Gish
is president of the company. and his
name was igned to the notice. The
notice also stated that after Febru-
airy 90 the company's stores at Cen
trail City would be closed.
II is aid that Mr.. Gish on taking
charge of the company refused to
join the Western Kentucky Coal OPP
orators Association, on account of
the fact that to do so would require
him to agree to arbitrate all differ
ences which might arise between him
and the miners. The operators asso-
citation has an agreement that all diff
fernces concerning working condi-
lions. between the miners and opera
tors shall be arbitrated by repre-
sentative of the operators and min
ers. This is the part of the agree
ment Mr.. Gish does not like, and
hence the shutdown.
1t is also intimated that Mr.. Gish
has at this time some differences
which he wants arbitrated, but that
the miners refuse to arbitrate.
The fact that the mines may shut
down is of serious import to the
business interests of Central City, as
several hundred men are usually en-
ployed at the mines. This, taken in
connection with the recent bank fail
ure. it is feared may injure business
seriously.
Efforts are being made to settle
the bitterness.

Some of our Democratic brethren,
hereabout. seem to think it marve-
lous that the Republicans and Bull
Moose should get together. They
have no doubt forgotten that a few
years ago their party was split and
we saw two sets of candidates nom
mated for president and vice presi-
dent. They got together and the
smaller party swallowed up the larg-
er. That is the free silver wing gave
up their principle and followed the
gold standard element, under the
leadership of President Wilson. They
are still following that element.

At the Lincoln birthday banquet
held in Louisville last week many
speeches of decided merit were made,
in response to toasts, but our own
Franks, the Western Kentucky ora
tor made the best and most fitting
speech of any. The speech of Hon.
Edwin Morrow was a gem in word
painting, as he depicted the sample
OF rugged manhood from which
Abraham Lincoln sprang, but his
subject demanded a different type of
speech from that of Mr.. Franks. His
toast, 1.-THE Trend of the Times"
gave him a wide range in the field
of politics, in which he delights and
shines best.

ton.
At the meeting of the Republican
State Central Committee in Louis
VILE last Friday it was decided to
hold the Republican platform con-
vention at Lexington June Is. Lou
isville made a strong bid for the
meeting but the vote stood s to 5
in favor of the Blue Grass city. The
date for holding county mass conven-
tions, at which delegates to the State
convention will be named, was fixed
at June IL. The basis OF represen-
tation was fixed at one delegate for
every 100 Republican voters and for
a fraction over fifty in the 1908 cleo
ton.
After all business had been dis
posed ofspeeches were made by prom
inent State politicians, among them
being several who had voted the Pro-
gressive ticket in 1912. All spoke
in favor of the get-together move
ment and the prophets we're many
who predicted great Republican vic
tories in the coming State National
election.

How to Hold Enough Wheat in
Americn

How to Hold Enough Wheat in
America.
Some of the best authorities on
grain statistics declare that at the
beginning of the war the United
States had about 29O, 100000 bushels
of wheat to export, and of that
amount 19O,0OO,0O0 bushels have
already been exported, leaving only
100, 900 bushels surplus yet to be
shipped abroad. After that all ex-
ports will begin encroaching upon
our home supply.
1t is on this account that some
economists are urging the passage of
a law forbidding the further export
ing of wheat. We are opposed to
such a law. The way to hold the
wheat at home is to outbid the would
be exporters, and let the farmer get
the benefit of the increased price.
He is legitimately entitled to that
benefit. Let the worlds market. for
which the FreeTraders have been
so eager to expose all American in
terests, now work for the benefit of
our agricultural interests. 1t is
time that the Government was rec
ognizing that there are agricultural
interests in this country aside from
the cotton interests of the South.
This contention is not merely a
selfish one. While farming has been
fairly profitable. it has never been
unreasonably so; and now that world
conditions point to more than ordi-
nary profits for our farmers 1t comes
with poor grace from those who have
declared against law as a means of
benefting our home market, to pro-
pose to enact a law to forbid our
selling out products in the highest
markets of the Observation-Disclosures
Agriculturist.

1t is reported that all the mines
located in Ohio county on the !. C..
r. r., including Taylor Coal Com
pany. have either closed down or
will do so indefinitely in a few days.
Although many of these mines have
been running only few days in each
month for the past year. the stopping
of work entirely will force a great
hardship on hundreds of people. In
fact We do not see what is to become
of the workers and those dependent
upon them.

Submarines Built
in u. S. for Britain,
Germans Charge
Vessels Sent in Parts to Can
ada, Violating Neutrality,
Says Complaint.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 20.-Germany
and Austria, through their ambassa-
dors here, compialned to the ssate
department today that submarines
were beng built In the United States
Tor Great Britain and shipped in
parts to Canada. In statement on
the subject the German embassy
said:
THE plants of Bethlehem and the
Union Iron Works, at San Franc.sc
are, according to reliable informa-
ton, sending the component parts of
submarines, ordered by the British
government, to Canada. Submarines
for England are a so being built at
Boston and Seattle.
1.-THE attention of the United States
department of state has been drawn
to these facts by the German and
Austro- Hungarian embassies as be-
ing in contradiction with the laws of
neutrality"
Some time ago the German en-
bassy filed comp. amt with the state
department against the manufacture
of submarines in the United States,
which, 1t was said, were intended for
Great Britain. The matter was taken
up by the state department with the
company which had had the con-
tract, and after conferences here be-
tween Secretary Bryan and Charles
NJ. Schwab president of the Bethle-
hem Steel Company, it was an
nounced that the American builders
had withdrawn from their contracts.

BURGLAR TRIED
TOCHLOROFORM
YOUTH IN HOME

The home of John P. Cory, of 315
Ridge street, near Second avenue, was
entered by a burglar early today,
who tried to chloroform one member
of the family. he'd up another at the
point of a revolver and obtained
gold watch and chain valued at SIS.
The intruder then made his escape,
leaving no clue to his identity other
than some indistinct finger prints on
a window.
Horace v. Cory, son of Mr.. Cory
and a student at Rutgers College. was
awakened about 1 a. m. by the sound
of some one moving about the rooms.
He thought it was his brother, Rob-
ert c. Cory, and sat up in bed. AS
he did so the intruder leveled re-
volver at his head. Mr.. Cory says
the stranger warned him to be silent
or he would shoot and at the same
time drew a cloth saturated With
chloroform from his pocket and held
1t to Mr.. Cory's nose and mouth.
Robert Cory, awakened by the
noise in his brothers room, got up
to investigate. The burglar turned
from Horace and pointed the revol-
yer at the newcomer with the injunc-
ton, Throw up your hands,
Robert Cory complied with the de-
mand. Covering his man. the bur-
glar then backed to the stairway and
fed.

st. MichaePs Hospital from burns re-
ceived in a FIRE and explosion in his
