Tho union hero has ordered 170,000 miners In tho anthra cite reglonB of Pennsylvania to quit work. This Is tho Initial step toward a stoppage In coal production In the United States as a result of the ml , nets' many wage disputes. Tho suspension was ordered be cause of tho operators' refusal to grant tho union demands for Increased pay. resident White said the suspension Kvcrald bo equal to a strike, except that .'the men at tho pumps and others nec essary to protect mlno property would bo kept at work. The shutting down of tho mines, the' union officials say, will cause a loss In 'the coal production of tho country or 7,083,000 bushels of anthracite a month and will entail a loss In pay to the miners of not loss than $360,000 for every day they remain out. -Measures to induce miners and op erators to renew negotiations brokan off in New York several weeks ago. already are talked. The bituminous mlno workers' wngo dispute. Involving about 300,000 more miners, has been settled on a basis satisfactory to both Bides, It has been announced. Thcro will bo a short sus pension in the bituminous fields, to permit tho operators and miners of the different states to settlo their In ternal differences, but according to the agreement made- in the Joint con ference, no change in present condi tions will bo made that will lncreaso the cost of mining over tho .agree ment reached hero or keep the miners from earning as much as they can. By the agreement the miners will receive an Increase of five cents a ton for screened coal, three cents for mine run, 6.5 per cent, for day labor and dead work and five hours on Sat urday with five hours' pay. All other demands are waived. The additional rates demanded by the Illinois miners !n their convention win be dropped. Wllkesbarre, Pa. President John P. Whlte's.order for a suspensions all work in the anthracite fields April 1 found the miners prepared, and as a unit they will walk from the cham bers, ready to stand by tho national leaders and fight out their demands with tho operators. Moro than ten thousand men al ready have left tho collieries' and will not tako advantage of tho opportunity to get In tho last day. Tho suspension ordor la considered by the miners to mean strike. It is exactly what they have been prepar ing for. The matter of submitting the strike situation to a rcforondumvote means that the miners will stand to a man and vote for u strike. The defense forced upon tho organ ization has so changed conditions that a mere wage concession could not re store peace.

SENDS MESSAGE TO CONGRESS Efficiency Would Be Promoted by Placing Local Postoffice and Cus toms Affairs In Classified Serv ice Consolidation of Auditors. Washington, April 4. President Taft today sent to congress his third message on economy and efficiency In tho various departments of the government Ho transmits tho report of tho commission recommending cer tain changes to which ho gives his approval. He says! "I have sevoral tlmca called atten tion to the advantages to bo derived from placing In the classified servlco tho local officers under tho depart ments of tho treasury, of the post ofllco, of Justice, of tho' Interior, and of commerce and labor. In my mea- sago submitted to tho congress on January 17 I referred to tho loss oc casioned to tho government because of tho fact that lu many casos two persons are paid for doing work, that could easily bo done by one. In tho meantimo I hare caused an inquiry to bo made as to tho amount in money of this loss. The results of this In quiry are that tho loss amounts to at least $10,000,000 annually. For ex ample, It appears that a very substan tial economy would result from put ting cxperienoed nnd trained officers In charge of tho first and second class postofflocs Instead of selecting the postmastora In accordance with the present practice. Aa the annual op erating expenses of the first and sec ond class offices aggregate the enor mous sum of mora than $80,000,000, undoubtedly If the postmasters ot theBo ofnocs wero embraced In the classified service, and roqulrod to de vote all their time to the public serv ice, tho annual savings would even tually represent many millions of dol lars. The saving In salaries alone, not taking into account any saving due to increased efficiency ot opera tion, would amount to about $4,500.- Mor Enlarge CUsa7fledT&ervTc The president points out the law saving that could be effected by plac ing in the classified service pension agents, internal revenue nnd customs officers nnd heads of bureaus In tho departmental service. Tho recom mendations of the commission In this connection aro approved. Continuing, bo says: "In tho interest of an efficient and economical administration of the vast business of tho government, I urge tho necessity for tho inauguration of this important reform, and recommend that tho necessary amendments bo made to the laws governing appoint ments, such amendments to tako ef fect not later than July 1, 1913. A saving of $100,000 a year, accord ing to the president, could bo mado by placing tho maintenance nnd oper ation of tho llfo-savlng stations of tho country In tho hands of tho bu reau of lighthouses. Tho enactment of legislation to carry this Into ef fect Js urged. The president recommonds that the vessels nnd equipment of the rovonuo cutter service, with tho exception of such vessels as might bo useful ns naval auxiliaries, bo turned over to the Hgbthouiio establishment, it Is pointed out that this would result In bringing under one general admin istration all of the work of tho gov ernment having to do with tho pro tection of life and property at sea. Greatly Increased efficiency nnd a de cided saving would also bo tho result Treasury Auditors. Consolidation of the six auditors of tho treasury department under ono auditor would increase thfc efficiency of tho treasury audit, according to tho president, and would aUo result In a saving of $200,000 a year. A chango in tho law to carry this into offect Is recommended. Legislation to bring about uniformity in tho travel expenditures of officers and employees of the government Is recommended. In conclusion the president says: "Each of tho foregoing recommen dations, If acted on, will contribute largely to lncreaso efficiency. Direct ly and Indirectly the changOB pro posed will result In tho saving of many millions of dollars of public funds. "Again I urgo upon congress tho do slrablllty of providing whatever' funds can be used effectively to carry forward with all posslblo vigor tho work now well begun. Tho $20,000 required for tho prosecution of tho Inquiry during tho ensuing year, and the $50,000 estimated for tho publica tion of results, are Inconsiderable In comparison with tho economies which can be realUed."
