Pennsylvania. Thursday reached a
deadlock which apparently will not
be broken pending an announce

The joint scale subcommittee of
miners and operators spent the day
in vain attempt 20 reach an agree

the operators grant an increase
which then might be used as the
basis of an appeal TO the govern
ment for higher selling prices. The
operators declined to consider this
proposition, announcing their belief
that it would look like conspiracy
between miners and operators TO
force higher coal prices.

Happenings of the Day in Va
rious Parts of the Ma
tons Capital.

II was T:15 o'clock in the morning.
and the rain which fell in melancholy
streaks kept many accustomed pedes-
trisns from Pennsylvania avenue.
But there were a few. hunching
their shoulders under dripping UNI
brellas, vending their ways to the
shelter of office buildings.
Suddenly, far down Pennsylvania
avenue, from the direction OF the Cap
itol, there came a faint tinkle, and
above the tinkle was heard the yelp
of an animal in distress. No one paid
any attention to the far away sound,
until the tinkle and the yelps grew
louder. Then, with one accord, the
early ones stopped in their dreary
walk, and turned toward the curb.
A white streak, just beginning TO
break through the mist which hung
low over the pavement, was seen,
heading west.
The speck of flying white grew, the
tinkle became a harsh bang, the yelps
grew into terror stricken barks. and
the white streak developed into a
moving dog, with a tin can on the
end of his tail. Looking neither to
the right nor to the left, the dog
fairly few over the ground, emitting
q yelp with each clang OF the can
upon the pavement, stretching every
muscle, every nerve to escape the
ever present menace behind him.
In less time than 1t takes to tell
1t. the dog, a dirty white fox terrier,
had come and gone. He reached Fiji
teenth street and Pennsylvania ave-
nue., and without a moments hesita-
ton, took the route to the Speedway.
Where he came from, none knew.
Where he went to, no one was sure,
but IL the poor pup kept up the
speed shown when passing the Dis
trict building, it's somewhere" out
side the District now.
