For instance, a woman's citizenship
should be her own affair, and not de-
pendent upon that of her husband.
There should also be unification of
the divorce laws and 1 think a better
marriage law will be enacted in time

AGREE To QUARREL
Coal Miners and Operators
Fight Over Message to Wilson.
Illinois Mine Owners willing to
Grant $1.50 Hike.

Cleveland. Ohio, Aug. 19.-Thc
bltuminous coal miners wage scale
committee of the central competitive
field caucused here today to draft "A
message to President Wilson notifying
him that the joint wage conference,
called by him, has been unable to ad-
just inequalities in pay, as he re-
quested- About fifty representatives
of the United Mine Workers of
America from districts outside the
central field attended. The situation
also was considered.
The joint scale conference of miners
and operators adjourned sine die late
last night. after being in session five
days. They were deadlocked over the
demands of the miners that day work
ers be advanced $3.50 a day.
The operators offered a resolution
in which they proposed recommending
to President Wilson that he appoint a
board of inquiry and adjustment of
troversy. 1t was adopted by the opera
tors, but the miners rejected it. The
resolution would have asked President
Wilson to name the chairman and the
members: and the operators and mint
ers each two.
In opposing the resolution John L.
Lewis, president of the miners, said it
was merely a recommendation and
that it had been rejected by both the
operators and miners when the pres
enL wage agreement was maze IN New
York last March.
While Ellis Searles of Indianapolis
spokesman for the miners, said early
today that there will be no strike, the
operators were not so optimistic. One
prominent operator said Anything
might come out of the situation"
Illinois operators who were reported
yesterday as willing to sign an agree
ment to give the day workers an in
crease of $3.50 said today they prob
ably would decide in a day or two
what action to take.
Prior to adjournment of the confer
ence President Lewis of the miners
issued a statement saying If no agree
ment was reached at the conference
the entire influence of the interna-
tfonal union will be placed behind the
miners of Illinois to secure satisfac-
tory increases for all men in or around
the mines employed by the day or
month"
