Coal Strike Settled
Miners Accept Wage Plan

Indianapolis, Dec 10.-The strike
of 400, 600 bituminous coal miners was
settled here today when the general
committee Of United Mine Workers
agreed to accept the plan offered
by President Wilson. The members
voted to accept the proposal shortly
before 3 O'Clock. At that time no
vote had been taken on the question
CT holding a convention of the union.
The convention was still in session
at that hour.
The plan provides the miners shall
return TO work at once at an increase
of IA per cent in wages, that a COM
mission of three men be appointed
and investigate within sixty days il

GARFIELD HANDS
in RESIGNATION
Fuel Administrator Resigns Because
He Disappr0yes OF Manner In
Which Coal Strike Was
Settled

Washington, Dec. 11.-Fuel Admin
~istrator Garfield's resignation was to
night in the hands of President VIII
son, given because he disagrees on
the principles with the coal strike
settlement proposal arranged by the
government and the mine workers
union.
Or Garfield himself tonight refused
to confirm, deny or discuss the report
but at the White House II was said
that a personal letter from him had
been transmitted to the president late
this afternoon.
Men close to the tueI administrator
understood that he believes that the
work of the commission authorized
under the settlement, to be made up
of one coal mine operator, n coal
miner and a third person named to
represent the public, will result in an
increase in the price Of coal to the
consuming public. Against this form
of a settlement DR.. Garfield has been
u~n8lterably opposed. It has been
learned on good authority that he
took no part in the negotiation with
TIE mine workers union chiefs during
TIE last week and that though in
formed and consulted after their in
it alton, the terms laid out as finally
accepted c~ontravene his conception of
the main principle involved.
II was recalled in connection with
the resignation that in suggesting a
Ia per cent wage increase as fair for
the miners and possible to be paid
from present profits of mine owners
Dr. Garfield suggested a commission
representative of the industry to re-
V ew findings, but expressed the con-
viction that such a body should not
have powers to fix prices. His belief
is said to be that with this power
granted, a ordination or the employ
err and employee in the industry to
muleh 1.etpublic b. price raises, is
certain to result.
Well informed officials hold the
opinion that many of the restrictions
low ordered will have to remain eff
fe"tive until about January 20, even
should the miners go back at once in
a body.
The war finance corporation was
called into a discussion today of meth
DDS of financing mines whose products
is not promptly paid for under exist
ing systems of distribution and which

lief were considered

with the efficient fire company, it
was not very long before the blaze

been stronger, there is little doubt

This fire came very near removing
aother old city land mark. This
building. or the front and main part
Of It was erected by Henry Newmire
on Arno Street, about opposite to the
old Halbig blacksmith shop, in 1882.
II was moved to its present location

has been it's owner and occupant for
nary years. Mr.. Henry Newmire and

$l4O PER ACRE
PAID FOR FARM
o. II. Collins Farm OF 2s3 Acres Pur,
chased By ID. n. Highland

The sale was announced Friday OF
the o. II. Collins farm to D, n High
land for a consideration of $140 per
acre. The farm is located between
Miller and st Lawrence, and consists
of 2S3 acres. g 1t is only moderately
~improved-in fact cle general esti-
mate placed upon the improvements
would bring the land alone close to
$120 per acre. But even so, il is
worth it, and more.
This well located farm will very
likely sell for 5000 next year, or in
the near future. rhe tendency in
Hand county land is upwards, and il
will continue so for some time
Real estate dealers report the
strongest demand for improved farms
- something the buyer can go right
onto and begin farming. But such
farms are not plentiful. The oppor-
tupity TO make money was never bet
ter than right now, by buying a piece
of raw land and placing thereon a
moderate set of improvements. Make
a farm, and you can sell it alta nice
profit" is the opinion expressed by
men posted in the business.

Tells OF Kidnapping
OF Consular Jenkins

The story of the abduction of Will
liam o. Jenkins, American consular
agent at Pueblo, was told in Miller
Tuesday by Henry Schneiderheinze,
en- American, who was with the con-
sular agent at the time of the kidnap-
pirg.
According to Mr.. Schneiderheinze's
story, Consular Jenkins Is innocent of
any co%nnivance with the bandits,
which he was accused of, and which
was the excuse for his arrest by the
Carranza government, who said Mr..
Jenkins wished to obtain the ransom
for himself. Mr.. ScbneideTheinze said
that the Carranza government desired
merely to make Consular Jenkins the
goat of some of their mistakes.
Mr.. Jenkins was released from the
prison last week.

l4TH CENSUS
BEGINS JAN. 2
U. G. Boles, Makes Application For
Census Enumeration For Miller

The enumeration of the population
Of the United States will be commenc-
ed two weeks from today, on January
End.
II has not been announced who the
enumerators are in the different dis
tricts of Hand county, but it is stated
that U. G. Boles has been mentioned
as the enumeration to take the census
of Miller.
II is hoped that all citizens will as
siet Mr. Boles in taking a complete
and correct census of the population
OF Miller and that no one who is an
actual resident of the city will be
found missing on this list.
Following is a list of questions that
will be asked by the census enumera-
ter.
Enumeration Begins January =. 1920
The census is required every ten
years by the Constitution of the I'm
tied Stats and Ivy Act of Congress,
The date named Tor beginning the
1920 census is January 2, but the
Census Day" is January 1.
In cities the population enumera-
ton will be completed in two weeks.
The enumeration of farms will be
completed within thirty days.
Tile census OF manufactures, mines
and quarries, oil and gas wells, and
fcrcstry and forest products, as a
rule, be taken by special agents and
by correspondence, and not by enum-
orators.
The census is the means by which
the Government ~ascertains the in
crease i'm the population, the statistics
concerning agriculture, and the vital
information concerning the resources
CT the Nation.
Census for Statistical Purposes Only
The census inquiries are defined by
act of Congress.
The information gathered is strict
ly confidential, made so by law,

customers. and some Of them have
done so, but a state law requires the
city also to establish such common
necessities.
During the past two or three years
many vacant lots along streets con-
tanning water and sewer have been
built upon For the future growth OF
the city, builders must 60 out farther,
on the ends of streets. in new addi-
tions, which will then require extern
sions of city utilities. and increased
use of water power. electricity, sew
age, sidewalks. grading. etc.
1t is confidently believed that the
Federal census to begin next month
will show a very material growth in
the population of both city and county
with an era of development perhaps
exceeding that OF any previous year
in their history.
