with the failare of negotiations to ar
bitration, and continued operation
of the mines, pending final settle
ment.
The operators, as set forth in a
statement by Secretary Wilson, &C
cepted the offer in its entirety; the
miners accepted the offer Of negotia-
tions, "and held the other two for
consideration later" This, as ex-
planned by Secretary Wilson, abrupt
ly ended the conference.

it removed restrictions on the wal
price of coal, and permitted opera
tors to charge what they pleased

Of little boy who said to his mother

that babies cannot speak until they
are twelve months old or more. 1t is

Town meeting passed off with the usual
dispatch. There was some discussion in
tegard to road commissioners and the
sense of the meeting was to place the
roads back in the old district system for
repairs, thinking the back roads would
have more attention but on account of
the law the vote was rescinded and the
meeting proceeded to elect two commits
sioners as heretofore. An appropriation
OF $500 was made for resurfaeing the
state road and 500 for permanent high
ways. A. H. Douglass is the new select
man and Herbert Williams the new school
