MINERS VOTE
ON PROPOSAL
To End Strike in Great
Britain Which Has Been
on Since April l
RESULT WILL BE
GIVEN OUT FRIDAY
All the Coal Fields in the
United Kingdom Are
Affected

London, June l5.-British miners to
day voted on the proposals of the min,
Iowners for the settlement of the Goa
diggers' strike which had been in prog
ress since April /. ALI coal fields il
the United Kingdom were affected by
the decision to ballot on acceptance OF
rejection of the mine owners terms
and the question was placed before the
miners without recommendations from
the conference of delegates which met
here on June 10.
The oSrners' final proposals included
the establishment Of q new standard
minimum wage by raising the 1914
scale, or that of 1919 in the case of
piece workers, by 90 per cent. 1t was
provided that this percentage would be
calculated on the output for March,
1921, and would continue in effect for
IL months. The owners offered to sur
render their profits proportionately to
the assistance received by the various
districts. and new district boards
would, if the proposals should be ac.
cepted, redistribute the districts on an
economic instead Of a geographical
basis. The national wage board would
then determine the rates of wages in
each district.
The owners suggested as an alterna-
tive that the new wage standard be
settled by a national wage board or by
arbitration.
The delegates who met here on June
10 represented 95S, 900 British coal min
ers. The result of to-day's vote will
be announced on Friday.

UNI0NISM A FACTOR
IN SELECTION OF JURY
Tentative Talesmen Being Enrolled
for the Mattewan Murder Trial
at Williamson, w. Va.

WILLIAMSON. w. Va. February A.
A sufficient number of talesmen was
on hand when court opened this morn
ing to warrant continuation OF the
efforts to obtain a jury to hear the
evidence in the Matewan shooting
cases. 1t was apparent from the be-
ginning of the session that member
ship in trade union was to play an
important part from now on in the
selection of tentative jurors.
Bernard Grace. machinist. was
closely questioned by Attorney James
Damron. for the state, regarding his
membership in railroadmen's organ
ization. Grace was very frank in his
answer and unhesitatingly said he be-
I1ieved his sympathy for union men
might influence his decision If he were
on a jury.
The rumor of last night that the
state move to eliminate from the. jury
1all union men persisted this morning.
1t was not known when the motion
would be filed. but il was generally
conceded that it would be done before
the twenty tentative jurors were Sc
lected.
Judge r. D. Bailey would make no
statement on the rumor, combining
himself to the assertion that the
proper time for his comment was when
Che motion was presented. @

abundant experinece and will no doubt
prove an acquisition to the restaur-

The opening of the restaurant has
been delayed, according to the prop
rietor, Mr.. Dumartrait, because of the
non-arrival of the big cooking range
ordeerd out of New Orleans, and some
other necessary fixtures. He stated
Tuesday morning that he expected to
begin business some time during the

CROP PLANTED

Farmers Of St. Landry are we'll ad-
vanced in the seeding of the 1921
crop. In every direction corn has been
planted and much of it is up to a fine
stand. Little farm land remains un-
plaowed and the fine weather of the
past few weeks has materially aided
the farmers in pushing their work
ahead Of the regular schedule. The
slight shower of rain Tuesday noon
came in good time for much plowed
land needed moisture in order that
work of preparation could be well
done for cotton planting. Gardens are
in fine shape, as a recent trip south
east of Opelousas showed. In the Ar
naudville neighborhood large areas of
cabbage were planted for shipment
and the crop shows up fine. Planting
of rice is under way and farmers hav-
ing pumping plants are getting ready
to start their outfits when the crop
needs irrigation.

WORK PROGRESSES
ON ARNAUDVILLE
GRAVEL HIGHWAY
Graded Practically From
Leonville to Parish Line
at st. Martin
ONE BIG CULVERT
YET TO BE BUILT
Link Between OpeloTsas
And LeOnville Next
In Sight

Work on the south end of the Ope-
lousas-ArnaudyiHe gravel highway
has progressed so nicely that it now
locks like a real modern road. The
grading is practically finished from
Leonville to Arnaudyille and gravel
ing the road has already started from
the Arnaudville end. Many carloads
of river washed" gravel are standing
on the Southern Pacific sidetracks at
Arnaudville and SOME Of this surfac-
ing material has been laid in the cor
porate limits of the Teche town
The road follows the west bank of
the Teche from Arnaudyille to the
bridge across the bayou at Mrs. Ro-
bins store. Then it follows the east
bank Of the bayou to Leonville and
recrosses the bayou to the west bank
again and proceeds along the old
road to the Opelousas-Port Barre
gravel at Devillier's corner.
Richard NJ. Hollier has the contract
for the grading and graveling of the
LeOnville-Arnaudville end of the road
and great portion of the work &
almost completed, so far as the grad
ing is concerned. One big culvert, on
the west side of the Teche, just below
the Robin bridge, is yet to be con-
structed, and until built the road is
closed to travel. Work on this cul-
vert appears to have started and then
abandoned. A LeOnville resident stat
ed Monday that seevral parties refused
to consider taking over the compile
tion of the big culvert at some price
because it would prove a losing job
financially.
The three and one-half miles from
Deyillier's corner to the north line Of
the Cain place was let out last week
1t is stated that a contracting firm
from Crowley secured the work of
grading, etc, and will begin on the
contract within a short time. From
the DeVillier corner TO the 'ibig hill'
where the road takes a dip the work
Will be heavy in several spots as there
is considerable filling to be done in
the low places through the Coteau Sec
ton. The higher spots will have to
be cut and the waste material haul
ed by wheeled scrapers to the low
! places as the road is so badly washed
that there is no chance to secure the
needed dirt from the sides in order to
make the fills, unless additional right
of-way is secured from abutting prop
| erty owners.

SCHOOL COMMITTEE
TO CONSIDER TODAY
SITE FOR NEW BUILDING MAY BE
LOCATED AT Bo0Y's I'M
PORTANT MEETING

The building committee OF the ope'
Iousas public school meets today, as
previously advertised. Selection of a
suitable site for the erection of the
building will be the real important
business to come up. According to
the notice of the committee, suitable
sites will be considered from any part
of the city, though the western or
northwestern sections were at first
preferred. At the last meeting OF com
mittee several locations were offer
ed but in the estimation of the mem
bers none of these lotswere suitable
and action on the matter was defer
red until today.
The present school is in the fourth
ward and claims Of the first, second
and third wards will be considered
above the fourth, as, according &c
Superintendent Prescott, the idea in
view is to have ward schools in Ope
lousas when educational demands
justify the establishment of this mod
ern system. With two schools erected
only two more will have to be prOvid
ed in the distant future in order tc
have the system running in goot
shape.
AS previously announced, architects
to draw the plans of the new building
have already been selected and as 500!
as the matter of the site is settled let
ting out the construction work to bid
ders will be taken up. The schoo
board will meet again in April and a
that meeting the awarding of the con
tract may be made.

railroads, renders them liable to pen
alties.
Freight and passenger fares were
ordered increased throughout the
country by the interstate commerce
commission effective August 26, 1920
to provide revenue with which to give
the railroads the per cent interest
on their investment provided for IN
the transportation act.
This was followed by the railroads
Of the country applying to the various
state commissions for the same in
creases on intra-state freight and pas
senger rates. The application was
granted by many Of the states while
others refused. The Louisiana Rail
wav Commission was among the num-
ber that granted only a portion of the
increase, refusing to raise passenger
fares and rates on rice, sugar cane,
sand and gravel and milk and cream.
The Louisiana lines then took their
case to the interstate commerce COM
mission on the grounds that the rates
permitted in this state constituted Il
discrimination against interstate rates
and traffic which is prohibited under
the transportation act.
Several other decisions already have
been given by the interstate COM
merce commission in which the intra-
Estate rates we're ordered raised to the
level of the interstate rates over the
action of the state commissions. The
first of these was in the New York
case. The second in Illinois. In New
York, however, the decision was tied
up through injunction proceedings in
1stituted by the state. In Illinois the
railroads took no chance of losing
their advantage as they Immediately
followed up the decision of the COM
mission with an injunction to prevent
the Illinois commission from interfer-
ing with the order of the lnter-tate
commerce commission.
The Louisiana lines followed the
course of the Illinois carriers in OBJ
tanning an injunction in the United
States courts to prevent interference
or. suspension of the commissions or,
! der.
