Anthracite Miners --
Make Big Reduction
In Wage Demands

New York, April 24-A reduction
II wage demands of approximately
oO per cent was made today by rep
resentatlves of anthracite mine
workers on the subcommittee of
miners and operators negotiating a
new working contract here for the
hard coal fields. Demands for short
er working hours also were reduced
and adjournment was taken until
next Monday for consideration.
The miners originally asked 4 90
per cent wage increase for contract
workers and s. day for raise for
day men. They now ask increases
to correspond TO those recently
granted b;tuminous workers bv the
presidential coal commission. These
amounted to 80 per cent for contract
workers and 81 for day men.
The miners substituted for their
demands of a six-hour day from
bank to bank extension of the eight
hour day to all classes of inside and
outside labor, with time and a half
tor overtime and double for Sun
days and HOLIDAYS.

Chicago, April 24.-Chicago pack
ers have completed sale of $45,06,-
600 of provisions to the German gov
ernment, it was announced today by
]. Ogden Armour, of Armour & Co.
Delivery of the meat, mostly pork
products, will start at once. The
supplies have been stored in ware
houses at Hamburg, Rotterdam,
Amsterdam and in Scandinavia for
several months.
The transaction does not repre-
sent new business, Armour & Co.
pointed out, as the meat was shipped
shortly after the armistice in the ex-
pectation of big demand in the
Central European countries. The
adverse exchange situation held up
delivery. Under present arrange
ments, payment is to be made by
Germany under a special amoritiza-
ton plan.
Armour & Co. issued statement
announcing that retail meat prices.
temporarily at least, will continue as
result of the outlaw" switchmen's S
strike.
While inbound livestock ship
ments are approaching normal rail-
roads are unable to furnish sufficient
refrigerator cars to handle the
dressed meat, and as result the
plants are not operating at full ca
pacity.

Johnson Gets More
Votes in Montana
Than All Candidates

Butte. Mont, April 24.-Addi-
tonal but incomplete returns today
from various parts of the state in
dicate that Senator Hiram John
son in yesterdays PRIMARY election
received more votes Nthan were cast
for all of his five opponents.
OF the other candidates Maj. Gen.
Wood leads, with Herbert c.
Hoover, Governor Lowden OF 1lli-
nois and Senator Warren G. Hard
ing following in the order named.
The complete vote of Silver Row
county. the largest in the state and
in which Butte is located. gave
Johnson 1922 votes, Wood, 473;
Hoover, 453; Lowden, 4l9, Hard
ing. IS.
The vote through the state was
light and returns so far meager, but
virtually every precinct reporting
added to Johnson's lead. No ef-
tort has been made to compile the
democrat vote as the democrats had
no candidates for the presidential
nomination and many voters did not
write in the names of their favorites.
President Wilson appears to lead
from the returns received. Gov.
Samuel V. Stewart, a candidate for
the democratic nomination for vice
president received the vote of his
party
