OPERATORS And

LYNETT'S PLAN
,Bv dispatch A. P. wire)


PHILADELPHIh. 5an. 26.-The joint
conference o. miners and operators
called into session again after break,
ing up in New York two weeks ago.
today rejected the Lynett plan for
settling the anthracite strike and adj
journed until tomorrow.
The conference was called at the
request of John L. Lewis, president
of the United Miners to consider the
proposal offered by E. j. Lynett,
publisher of the Scranton Times The
offer was accepted in principle by
the miners and rejected by the oper~
ators before today's conference met,
but the leader of the miners insisted
that the conference be reconvened
for its formal consideration When
the conference adjourned tonight II
was learned that there was no pro-
gram for consideration, tomorrow
unless either side should decide to
bring up another proposition or a
modification of some plan already
thrown into the discard.
The Lynett plan provided for inn
mediate resumption of work at the
ga scafe Of wages for term of five
years. 1t also provided that each
side would have the right to ask for
conference bero1e two years of the
contract had elapsed in order to re-
adjust wages. If no arrangement
could be reached on "a readjustment
of wages, the old contract rates
would continue in force. The plan
made no reference to arbitration on
which the operators insist, il no
agreement on any proposition can
be reached.
The conference, before taking ND
the Lynett plan, voted against open
sessions, wanted by the miners, SO
there would be no misconception by
the public as to what occurred.

State Aid for Reclamation Is
VeryEssentiaZ to Their Future,
Secretary Work Tells Senate

DR.. Work asserted that other
countries have realized the necessity
of assistance in settlement and cul-
t.vation- of reclamation projects and
have approved such policy. He de-
clared that the statement that con-
stitutional ground or financial in
ability would prevent aid in un-
founded, quoting by way of con-
firmation of his views the sums ex-
pended by the states for road build
ing in cooperation with the govern
ment
The secretary also, pointed that
the fourteen reclamation states have,
in single year, spent 1898, 100000
for public education as against a
federal contribution Of little more
than $2,OO0,0OO. He also cited ex-
penditure by these states, for agri-
cultureal experiments stations and
similar enterprise, including topo-
graphic surveys and water resources
investigation, in which alone, he de-
clared, the states in the reclamation
area expended last year $362,779 to
the federal governments $260,29S.
1t would appear, continued the sec
retary, that reclamation, creating
productive and taxable wealth,
which comes from irrigation and
development and which helps to sup
port these cooperative activities, is

OHIO STARTS SURVEY
FOR CODY'S GAS LINE

J.. W. Walker, engineer of the
Rocky Mountain Gas company, ar
rived in Cody the first of the week,
with a crew of surveyors, and work
has already started on the survey
for the new gas line from Oregon
Basin to Cody. Mr.. Walker states
the material is expected within
about twenty days, and a machine
will arrive for the ditching and
laying of the pipe.
The line to oregon Basin will be
run directly south of town. along
the road which was formerly used
to the Hoodoo ranch. At a point
about three miles south, it will
swing off to the east and run on
an almost direct line to the oil
fields.
The Ohio expects to start opera
lions at once on a second well in
the Oregon basin field. In attempt
ing to skid the old rig this week,
it toppled over, and crashed to
pieces, and a new n has been
constructed in its stead. The ro-
tary rig belonging to Paul Stock
has been purchased, and another
test is to be made, this time with
the idea of getting through the gas
sands, and drilling out the lower
stratus for the m~uch-sought oil.
