ANSWER FROM CABINET
CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE
Scale Body Meets.

Mr.. Brewster said that he expected
the matter would be settled by facts.
or in the failure of this. by events.
Time for further negotiations was
gained when an operator made the
motion to commit the statement TO
the sub-scale committee. This was
seconded by a miner. and carried.
1t was after II o'clock when the

cision.

reading OF his statement. President
John l.. Lewis. of the miners. de-
clared that this meant a repudiation
of Secretary Of Labor Wilson's ac-
ton in Offering the miners n 3l.6 per
cent increase.
Mr.. Lewis asked Mr.. Garfield what

government official told them one
thing and another government on
cial differed.
Mr. Garfield replied that he did

of conciliation and mediation. Mr.

DR.. Garfield said that the govern

OF forcing men to work, but that il
would have TO protect the public ir

that meant protecting the produce

IRISH NAVAL BASE
MUCH WORK INVOLVED IN RE.
MOVING BIG WARE
HOUSES

QUEENSTOWN, Ireland, Jan. %.
Plans for the dismantling of the
American naval stations in and
around Queenstown are going for
ward rapidly. Time will be re-
quired to remove the base hospital
at Whitepoint, and much work will
be involved in removing the many
big warehouses which were brought
here from America and set up in
record time. Other important
parts of the American plant include
wireless stations at Queenstown
and Aglada and many hutments.
American officers and men have
made a deep impression on the
people of Queenstown and in other
parts of south Ireland, and rela-
lions generally have been of the
most cordial nature. This is prov
ed by the fact that a number of
weddings have already taken place,
and more than one American sailor
has promised to return for the girl
he must leave behind.

T0B|N TAKES OPTION
ON HOT SPRINGS
At PIONEER

1t is reported on good authority
that a syndicate headed by w. ].
Tobin, president of the Reorganiz-
ed Pioneer Mines company and
large stakeholder of the Consoli-
dated Mayflower Mines company,
has under option the famous hot
springs situated near Pioneer on
the Tonopah & Tidewater railroad,
and that some of the best buildings
in Rhyolite and the old town of
Pioneer r to be moved to the
springs. In addition a large ho-
tel will be built that will furnish
frst-class accommodations to the
travelling public and also the min
ers employed in the Pioneer and
Mayflower mines. Telephone con-
nection will be made between the
hot springs, where the offices of
the company will be located, and the
mines, and jitney service will en-
able the men to make the trip to
and from the mines in a few min
utes.
The springs have been famous
for years on account of the excel
lent water, which some have term
ed radium hot springs. Many in
valids suffering from rheumatism.
after a few weeks stay, have gone
away leaving their crutches be-
hind, and the miners and millmen
will have the advantage of a hot
plunge after coming off shift. 1t
is stated reasonable rates will be
made to the miners and others
employed in the district. The
springs are situated in the very
heart of the district and it is stat
ed that large sums have been Of
fered during the past by the medi-
cal fraternity for the purchase of
the springs. The proprietor did
not wish to dispose of them, how
ever, and it is doubtful if they
could be purchased at this time
if it were not for the fact that the
state was voted dry at the recent
election. 1t is probable that tel
ephone, telegraph and postoffice
accommodations will be established
and an electric lighting system in
stalled at an early date.

FEWER ACCIDENTS
IN PENNSYLVANIA
IMPROVED MACHINERY AND
GREATER CARE GIVEN AS
CAUSE

HARRISBURG, Jan. %. - The
number of industrial accidents in
Pennsylvania has steadily d~ecreas-
ed in the last three years. This is
attributed to improvements in ma
chinery and the exercise of great
err care by workers.
Accidents in the mills, mines and
railroads during 1918 resulted in
injury to 1S4,S44 employees, of
whom 3403 died of their injuries.
This total is 43,O36 less than the
number injured in 1917 and TO-
772 less than in 1916. The ia
talities of 1918, however, exceeded
those of 1917 by 333 and Of 1916
by 1873. The fatal accident rec
ords have been affected in the last
two years by fires Or explosions in
munition plants.
The amount of workmen's COM
pensation awarded for fatalities
and disability claims in 1918 was
$10,O36,712. In 1917 the total
was $7,161,194, and in 1916 $4,-

HEAVY LOSS OF LIFE
ON LAKES DURING 1918 SEASON

.100,244, the lowest since 1915.
Total passages were 20,610, the

Copper shipments were light in
1918, but iron ore shipments were
unusually heavy.
Marine men predict that a new
high tonnage record will be estab-
lished next season, starting with
the big grain movement down the
lakes in the spring. They declare
that a greater quantity OF grain
is stored in the holds Of ships on

fore in Great Lakes navigation
history.

INSURANCE AGENTS
THREATEN STRIKE
EMPLOYEES OF LONDON COM
PANY TO ENFORCE DE-
MANDS

LONDON, Jan. %. = Two thou
sand agents employed by a London
insurance company have notified
their employers office that they
will strike unless their weekly
wage of about $14.65 is not in
creased by IS. They have also in
a~ugurated a movement to organ
ize the agents of other companies,
and thus enforce the demand
throughout the country.
When the demands were formu-
lated and the men appointed a
committee to call on the directors,
their leader, David Jones of Leeds,
advised them to make their de-
mands retroactive from Jan. L,
1918, in oder that they might be
repaid for the advanced cost OF
living in the last year of the war.
'If your demands are refused
said Jones, take concerted ac-
ton" The suggestion was cheer
ed.
The men claim the company pays
to it's stockholders 40 per cent,
free of income tax, on a capitaliza-
ton of $5,OOO,0O0.

the disaster toll of the 1918 ship

Loss to shipping was the lightest
in many years.
Four vessels were sunk in col

REIMBURSEMENT PLANS
TO Be DISCUSSED
By STOCK RAISERS
NATIONAL LIVESTOCK ASSOCI-
. ALTON IS MEETING IN
DENVER

DENVER, Col, Jan. 81. - Post
war readjustment of the livestock
industry furnishes the principal
topic to be considered at the 9th
annual convention of the Ameri-
can Livestock association, which
began a three days convention here
today attended by stockmen fron
all parts of the west.
The question of whether steps
should be taken to increase pro-
Gucijon of livestock is expected to
occupy much of the time Of the
convention together with consider
aticn of the legislation recommend
ed by the federal trade commission
for supervision of the packing in
dustry.
Livestock men say they antici-
pate as heavy a demand from Eu-
rope for American meats in 1919
as last year, but whether this de-
mand will continue through 1920
is problematical. Upon the pros
pective demand for 1920, they say,
depends the decision as to the ne
cessity for increased production
on the American range.
The question of increased graz
ing fees on national forests, which
are opposed by many stockmen,
and the continuance of the work
of the food administration as it af-
fects meat products and prices for
livestock are also expected to re-
ceive much attention.
Other topics which will come up
for discussion during the conven-
ton are federal control of rail-
roads, regulation or disposition of
the public land, appropriations for
control or eradication of animal
diseases, determination of predatory
animals and financing of livestock
loans.
