MAY AVERT COAL STRIKE.
Conference of Operators and Miners at
Mobile on Wage Schedule.

MOBILE, A Ia, Feb ,. - The Joint
conference of mine operators and union
leaders of Illinois, Ohio, western Penn
sylvania, and Indiana is in session
here, with the object of reaching All
agreement on the basis for wages and
working conditions in the anthracite
coal fields for the coming years, is con-
sldered one of the most important labor
conferences of recent times, as on the
measure of success which the conferees
achieve in bringing about some con
crete agreement depends the peace of
the mining industry.
The operators have been preparing
for the contingency Of a strike when
their agreements with the men termi-
nate March 81, and the United Mine
~ orkers have, on the other hand, per
fected their organization with a view
to fighting it ont for a higher wage
scale, more favorable working coudi-
tons, and recognition of their union
These two great organizations of cap
ltallsts and workers have had many
clashes IN the past. Although there
have been concessions on both sides.
the main issues have never been set
tied, and the miners believe they have
had the worst of past agreements.
Eight miners and eight operators
from each of the coal producing states
are taking part in the deliberations
here. They represent all of the inter
ests involved III the coal situation. with
the exception of the public. Reprc-
sentatives of the department of labor
at Washington are in evidence. irving

WASHINGTON, Feb. ?. - The adj
ministration tariff bill was introduced
in the house yesterday by Representa-.
tive Rainey of Illinois, ranking Demo-
cratic member of the ways and means
committee, who will have charge of it.
1t provides for a commission of five
members, with the widest authority to
investigate tariff conditions in the
United States and abroad, but without
the power of recommending rates or
schedules
The commission would be required to
report to the President, the senate
finance committee, or the house WAYS
and means committee and also from
time to time voluntarily to congress
when new conditions arise affecting
tariffs
Each commissioner would receive an
annual salary Of $4,000, ana not more
than three should be members of the

Representative Rainey said the bill
had received President Wilson s ap-
prevail and would be brought before q
Democratic house caucus for approval.

PAPER NOT COMMON CARRIER

LEGATION admitted to the second class
of lnail matter is under no obliga-

This decision of the postotlice de
partmcnt was made at the request of
the Washington correspondent of the
Editor and Publisher, who submitted
to the department the question
whether a newspaper could refuse
the advertimesents of trading

in the main that publisher of a
newspaper can refuse advertisements.
The Supreme court has never ruled
on this subject, as no test case has
ever been brought to it's attention.
The statement of the department
which can be regarded as dcision

to the Washington correspondent OF

that the publication is used so to
