seemed remote to the union chiefs, for
mo change in the attitude of operators
opposing an Interstate conference re-
suited from the appeal of Secretary of
Labor Davis. asking the two sides to
get together. The only possibility Of a
conference, as viewed by urino officials.
was for the government to call both
operators and miners to, Washington,
but no one at union headquarters had
any information that such call was
contemplated.
Union Relies Upon PubIicist
Union officials refrained from any
announcement on their future plans,
but it was indicated that the policy
committee might be called into session
before April ! to deal with all ques-
tiOns relating to the prospective strike.
The personnel of the committee is vr-
tually completed by various union dis
tricts authorizing their officers to be-
come members of the committee. In
addition. the committee includes the
international officials and the members
of the executive board. which is now
in session here.
The union officials were optimistic
that public opinion was with them in
the controversy. owing to the defiant
attitude adopted by some of the oper-
ators in refusing to meet with them,
union officials said.
Not Scared by insurgency
The insurgent movement of the Illi-
nois miners officials is not yet viewed
with alarm by the union officials here,
for they continued to make the positive
assertion that no single state agree
ments would be made by any district.
Yet it was expected that when the pol
icy committee is called into session. that
this question will be brought up for
early decision. Frank harrington, the
Illinois president. and eight other Hi |
nois men are members of the commit !
tee and his statements, favoring the !
state proposal. We're regarded as fore |
casting a fight in the committee. Presi- |
dent Lewis and other administration /
forces, opposing the single state agree
ment. however, were confident that I
they had majority within the com
nittee.

Hard Coal Conference Next Week
What may happen in the Pennsyl-

outcome of the meeting between union

CASH FOR FARM
AGENT DOUBTFUL;
PETITIONS FILED
Belief Is County Will Not Put
Up Money to Pay
Agriculturist

Idaho county will not appropriate
money for the salary and expenses of
a county agent for the ensuing year,
according to word from well-informed
circles.
The board of county commissioners,
in session this week, on Monday was
addressed by members of the Idaho
county farm bureau, asking for an ap-
preparation for county agent, but
took no action. On Monday, petitions
signed by hundreds of taxpayers, were
filed with the board, asking the board
to not appropriate money for the
county agent.
Edwin Nelson, president of the
farm bureau, on Monday told the
board the bureau at that time had
1876 paid-up members in the county,
and it was expected to increase the
membership to $50 by Saturday night.
Referring to the retiring county
agent, Ralph M. Pavey, whose resig-
nation becomes effective January 10,
Mr.. Nelson said in his address to the
board:
81 like Pavey aE a man, but per-
sonally / don t think he fills the bill.
I don It think he's big enough man
for Idaho county.
Mr.. Nelson then asked the board to
appropriate money for a county agent.
He said salary and expense of the
agent had been only 1901 for the last
quarter.
Charles G. Stonebraker represen-
tative of the national farm bureau,
addressed the board. He SAID ne
believed the difficulty in the farm
agent matter in Idaho county was !
mutual fault between the farmers ana
the agent. He said the farm bureau
should be built around the county
agent. &C
The board on Monday set Frld?y ar
ternoon at ! to consider a petition TO
form a new school district from terri
tory east of Grangeville.
