MAYOR SILENT ON PERTINENT
QUESTIONS ASKED BY COUNCIL

So far Mayor Thompson has re-
fused to comment upon the Fl ques-
lions asked him in a letter signed by
three members of the council, Aid.
Richert, Kerner and Buck.
He is not invited" but request
ed" to appear in person before the
finance and judiciary committee next
Monday and answer these questions.
If he is for some reason unable to
appear he has been asked to reply by
letter, but the committee would much
prefer to see the mayor in person.
In brief, the 81 questions are: ''Do
you approve of the illegal acts of the
civil service comm" will you fire
Com'n'rs Geary and Cofin?" do
you approve the illegal acts of Boiler
Inspector Nye?" will you dis
charge him." do you want peace?"
The letter defies the mayor to pro-
duce the roll call which shows that
aldermen have not stood with him on
some progressive measures lettering
Chicago. 1t practically is the ultima
.tum of the council insurgents. They
are prepared for three-year war or
immediate peace.

ANTHRACITE COAL MINERS TO
ASK WAGE INCREASE

NON BNHOG ilNSNEHSG
Kansas City, Dec. 80. - Anthra-
cite coal miners are to ask substan-
tial increase in wages when their
present contract with operators ex-
pires April 1, President John P. White
of United Mine Workers said today.
They will base their demands on fact
that while food prices have increased
sc per cent in last II years their
wages had only increased 512 per
cent.
81 am hopeful that no suspension
of work will result when the present
contract expires" White continued.
"The mine workers are for peace
with honor. But the mine workers
will not consent to be the victims
when the operating heads seek to I'M
load upon them the responsibility of
price raising occasioned by the neg
lect or intent of operation heads"
White charged that the miners
through enforced idleness, had been
compelled to stand the losses of lean
periods while the operators conserved
their surplus He also blamed the
failure to work the miners contin-
uouslyfor the reported coal shortage.

There will be an address appropriate
to the occasion, barking back to the

back and forth across the river in
stead of the several bridges over which
thousands of people now pass every
day.
1t was in 1853 that the State of

tablet, made in the form of a key

border officials here to-day turned
their attention to reports that 800
MeXicans had crossed the border into
Hldalgo county, Texas, in small par
ties, and apparently were making
their way to a concentration point.
What this portended none of the off,
cials would venture a guess, but it
was admitted unusual precautions
were being taken by peace officers and
ranch officers to prevent outbreaks.
Details of the fight at Norias Ranch,
SO miles north of Brownsville, last
night, were awaited here with interest.
Owing to the isolated nature of the
country and the fact that the bandits
cut all telephone wires from the
ranch, only merger reports had been
received early to-day.
Fourteen ranchmen, later reinforced
by a detachment of United States SOL
diers and Texas rangers, repelled all
attacks of ire outlaws who left sever
al of their number dead when finally
they retreated southwark. Five of the
