ther consideration of President Will

100000 bituminpus coal miners of the
country
1t was generally expected the pro
posal, providing for the immediate re-
turn to work at the mines at an in
crease of IA per cent in wages and the
appointment of a commission of three
men to adjust wages, would be ac-
cepted before the conference adjourned
for the day.

ly forecast by officials of the United

This prediction was made in the face
Of strong opposition which developed
Yesterday and which probably will pro-
long argument for and against the
presidents plan. The conservative ele-
ment in the conference was said to be
in the majority and an agreement to
end the strike was expected when the
question came up for final vote.
At yesterdays meeting it is under
stood the committee members were di.
vided into two or more factions, one
of which strongly favored adoption OF
the new proposal and another of which
opposed any settlement other than that
embodied in the miners early demands
A third division, it was said, took the
position that as a general convention
of the miners had formulated the de.
mands and ordered the strike in the
event the operators refused to grant
them, general session would be re.
quired to call off the strike.
Attorney General Palmer, who came
TO indianapolis Monday to direct at.
torneys for the government in theil
handling of court proceedings against
the miners, will remain in the city un.

The proposition being considered by the
miners provides that they return tC

LOAD GETS LOOSE,
Exciting Thrill Of Runaway
Team Down cupberlrnd
Mountain.

An exciting thrill, was given
this town about z O'Clock Friday
night. A driver on one of the
thirty teams hauling lumber from
the mills operated by the Marion
Coal & Lumber Co.. got down
off his wagon when part way
down the mountain, toadjust his
load which was shifting. To his
dismay the team started in mo-
ton again, being unable to hold
the load, and got a start Of him.
The load was l4O0 feet 0r heavy
oak lumber, and down the road
it went, the team, a splendid
pair of iron greys. straiping ev-
esy nerve to keep outsof the way,
with the driver in the rear, chas-
ing madly after it. The mass of
horses, wagon and lumber, stay
ed in the road, however, land
passed three curves successfully,
and finally neared a turnout.
There was a small sapling near
this, and the horses instinctively
taking the turnout ran the egag-
on close to this. with the result
that it checked its speed Overrid-
ing it withfront Wheels and more
80 with rear wheels. enabling
the driver to catch up 4 ID regain
control of the brake. tMas a
wonder that both horses were
not killed and the wageh demol-
ished, and if a wagon or automo-
bile had been coming I'm the OPP

have been disastrous, Strange
to say there was no damage, but
the racket could have been heard.
