Two years ago the operators
solemnly agreed that they would
meet with US before April 1. They
pledged their word as business
men They signed that agreement
IN writing In New York. 1t was

Or promsssory note that any set of

Broke Agreement
Wa thought they signed IL In
good faith. But now they refuse 10
live up to their agreement. They
have refused point blank to do as
they agreed they would do. If
they were TO refuse to pay their
debts itSwotild be no more dishon-
CRADLE than their refusal to keep
their agreement with the miners.
These operators do not deny
that they are contract breakers.
They only say: swell what are you
gong 10 do about it?"
In the latter part OF last Deccm.
Der asked the operators, in COM
plianee with their promise to
meet with the miners in Pitts
hurgh to begin negotiations for a
now agreement. Illinois and In
diana operators and a part Of the
Ohio group accepted the invita-
tighi but the operators OF the
Rittsburgh district and a part Of
Ohio refused. They merely said
they hal decided not to keep their
word
They scrapped their agreement,
tust as the kaiser strapped his
treaties with other nations. And,
like the kaiser, they started in to
destroy the other party to the
agreement. The invasion Of Bel

ruthless than the invasion OF the
miners union by these Pittsburgh
and Ohio operators.

Only Nine Dogs Killed as Re-
suit of Extensive Cam
paign by City

Five more dogs were killed at the
city crematory yeeeerday, making
total OF nine dogs to meet death
as result of the recent dog killing
campaign IN the city. Many more
dogs had been captured and locked
up at the crematory, but they were
released by someone, and the city
authorities decided not to attempt
to make another tour of the city in
an effort to catch them.
is said that there are at least
600 dogs in the city and probably
more City Clerk Luke Arnett has
issued only about $50 dogs tags,
meaning that there are many un-
tagged dogs still running about the
city.
In catching the dogs the city dog
catchers experienced much Difficult
sty. In but few instances did the
owners give up the dogs without
protest. and in many cases the ne
cessary dog license was paid. Chill
dren along each street would see
the dog wagon coming and would
proceed to hide their dogs from the
dog catchers. Despite the ten day
campaign in which a trip was made
to every section of the city, only a
few dogs were captured. s5

Ogden, publisher of Wheeling In
telligencer, admitted this morning
that Senator Howard Sutherland
held commanding lead for Re-
publican denomination on the face
of yesterdays primary election
returns from 1859 of 2,093 pre-
cincts. but he declined to concede
a victory to his opponent. Mr..
Ogden felt there was a possibility
that complete returns from his
stronghold counties might sharply
cut Sutherland's lead.
Latest figures include returns
from all but eight counties. three
of which were cut off from wire
communication by storm last
night. Tabulation showed:
