COAL OPERATORS
REFUSE DEMANDS
WON'T GIVE - A DAY INCREASE
TO MINERS, BUT OFFER TO
GIVE EQUIVALENT.

Cleveland, Aug. 1S.-The blum
inous coal operators of the central
competitive field in refusing the, min
ers' demands for 50 a day increase
for day and monthly men and 10
cents a ton for pick and machine
mining today offered to correct the
seeming inequality of the present
cotract by advancing the wages of the
day and monthly men the equivalent
of the coal commissions award to
the pick miners giving the day and
monthly men an increase estimated
at from 35 to 70 cents day.
The operators will consider no
other demands made by the miners
including the 10c per ton asked for
pick and machine mining.
The miners received the operators
reply in a joint conference of the
scale committee and unanimously re-
jected the proposition.
A subcommittee of two operators
and two miners from each of the
four states was then named and went
into a joint conference. John L.
Lewis, president of the United Mine
Workers of America, and William
Green, secretary-treasurer attended
the meeting as eX-officio members
The meeting was presided over by
Michael Gallagher, a Cleveland oper-
ator, chairman of the joint meeting.
Other members of the joint scale
committee were to await the call of
the subcommittee.
Under the award of the bituminous
coal committee the pick mining rate
was advanced 81 per cent over the
then existing contract. The day and
monthly men were advanced but 20
per cent.
This inequality the operators agree
to correct by advancing the wages of
the day and monthly men the equiv
alent of pick miners.
Vice President Miller of the Illi-
nois operators, said the operators of
fer would give day and monthly men
an increase estimated at from 35 to
70 cents day. Using the Hooking
Valley field as basing point the op-
orators proposition would mean an
increase of an average of so cents a
day to the day and monthly men, he
said.

WANT WESTERN MAN
FOR INTERIOR CHIEF
SENATOR HARDING URGED TO
APPOINT ONE In EVENT OF
HIS ELECTION

Tacoma, Wash, Aug. 1S.-Gov.
Louis F. Hart, who has BEEN leading
a movement of western governors to
induce Senator Harding to appoint a
western man secretary of the inter
ior, providing the republicans are
successful in November, today re-
ceived an answer from the nominee
from which local adherents of the
movement drew encouragement.
Il appreciate fully what you say
concerning the interests of your won
derful country in the matter of rec
lamation and development and /
think l am in pretty cordial accord
with the best thought of your peo-
pie on the subject" Senator Harding
said.
There will be some suitable op-
portunity before long at which | can
say something more fully on this par
ticular question than l ventured in
my speech of acceptance
Il can readily see the propriety in
the selection of a suitable western
man for the portfolio which you men
ton. This is matter that is going
to receive most earnest and serious
attention at the proper time. The one
particular ambition in myo work is
to see that the country gets one of
the strongest cabinets that acn be
brought together"

Markhardt, a resident of the White
Lake district, had narrow escape
from being mangled to death in the
machinery of a tractor engine oper-
ating a threshing outfit when his

CONDUCTOR SHOT
BY A STRANGER
UNIDENTIFIED MAN STEPS UP TO
PETERSON AT SALEM AND
PULLS TRIGGER.

Salem, Aug. 1S.-Conductor Peter
North Western railroad running be-
tween Huron and Salem, was shot
and seriously wounded last night
by an unidentified assailant in Sa-
lem.
Mr.. Peterson had just arrived in
Salem from Huron on the midnight
train going south and got off at Sa-
lem to go back on a freight that is
made up at Salem and leaves in the
early morning. AS he stepped off the
train and walked toward the caboose
attached to his freight train and
passed coal shed, a man stepped
out of the darkness and said: well,
let's go?" without another word he
shot the conductor through the lung
near the right shoulder and fled. Mr..
Peterson made his way to the depot,
crawled under the passenger train
and was assisted to the Depot hotel,
where he was cared for by DR.. Hoyne
who happened to be there to meet the
train. A special train was made up
and the wounded man hurried to the
hospital at Huron. Bloodhounds
were brought by auto from Mitchell
and took the trail losing it near
Spencer. Two men were being
trailed near Farmer today and it is
believed the assailant will be captur-
ed before night. 1t is thought the
assailant had a COMPANION as a hat
and cap were found near the scene
of the shooting. The sheriff of Nc
Cook county and a number of Salem
citizens are securing the country.
The case is mystery as Mr.. Peter
son is believed to have no enemies
and says he has had no trouble with
tramps on his trains.

just out of a swimming hole in Rock
Greek park, were picked up by Presi-

motor ride and dropped out at their
home so proud the folks there could
not hold them with a rope.
The three were hiking along the
roadway when they saw the White
House car and recognized the presi-
dent. Off came their caps and as
Mr.. Wilson ordered the car stopped,
they timidly approached and asked
how he was getting along.
Hop in," said the president, and
they hoped.
All along the ride they kept their
eyes on the president and Mrs. Will
son and answered more questions
than they asked. Water from tous-
led heads tricked over three sunburnt
faces and dropped on the president s
shoes. One youngster ducked to
save the presidents shine and apollo
gized, but was told not to worry.
Coming down Connecticut avenue,
the youngest of the trio, thin, frail
lad, barely s, spied a kid he knew
and called to him by name. The
youngster dropped a loaf of bread
and gasped.
When the kids got out all three
