Neither "Bilaer nor operator tonight could

Both sides are hopeful, however, and there
ia a feeliiig among those vitally interested
In the struggle that some wsy out of the
present difficulty will be found.
President Mitchell arrived here tonight

Howard, Corner 16th
quoted as to the situation as shown by the
first day's suspension, but they all nd
mltted privately that the Utmost harmony
prevails In the region and that rumors that
thousanda of men would not obey the sus
pension order have proved groundless. They
report that the colliery working full handed
Is the People's Coal company's Oxford
plant. In' th northern field, which Is run
almost exclusively by non-union nrri. The
charter of the local union at this colliery
waa annulled some time ago. The wash
erics that were In operation today employ,
the district leadera say, only a small num
ber of men and they are not well organised.
Tomorrow's meeting between the subcom
mittee of the miners and the operators will
be held at noon, probably in the offlcea of
the Central Railroad company pf New Jer
aey.'and la. expected to be of snort duration.
It is believed that nothing will be definitely
agreed upon. According to Information ob
tained tonight the program fo.- tomorrow, ai
tentatively outlined by the operators. Is to
renew the counter proposition made to tho
minera early in March, that is, the continu
ation for another term of three years of
the award of the Anthracite Strike commis
sion. The operators. It ia understood, will
not make any extended argument, but will
content themselves with , calling attention
to the reasons thay set forth in their reply
to the miners' general demands. The em
ployers, however, do not expect the miners'
representatives to accept the proposition,
or even consider It at the present time, but
rather expect the union leadera to renew
their original demands." If this program is
followed out an adjournment probably will
be taken for twenty-four or forty-eight
hours.
The conciliatory spirit shown lit (he lust
meeting of the two committees It ia not ex
pected to obtain in tomerrow's conference.
The operators are Indignant over tht action
of the minera' union In forcing a suspension
of operations, anj from information gath
ered today It la not unlikely that the mla
era will be told that their action was 'ex
traordinary." aa President Baer has already
told Mr. M'tchell by telegram. The district
leadera of the Mine Workers, In defending
ther course, say the action of the Sha
inokin scale committee waa Justified; that
no agreement or contract between the op
erators and the men existed sfter midnight
Saturday.
The presidents of the anthrtrcite canning
roads today devoted considerable attention
to the action of rot'all coal dealers in New
York, Philadelphia and other cities In rais
ing the price of domestic sizes of coal to
the consumer. They have received reports
that many retailers have advanced prices
anywhere from 25 cents to $1 a ton. The
operators some duys ago warned the dealers
that if they continued the practice thrtr
supply of coal will be cut off and fuel will
be given to only thoae dealers who rlgldlt'
maintain the regular prices. The practices
of advancing prices, however, became ao
widespread that the operators today deemed
it neceaaary . to isaoe a statement ' to the
public showing their position.
Some of the retailers in defending their
action today said thai the operators are
not giving the dealers enough coal to sup
ply the demand and" that consumers sra

President Mitchell appeared In a cheer
ful mood when spoken to regarding tht
bituminous section. He said everything In
the soft coal region Is working out to the
satisfaction of himself and the miners
In that territory. He said that more than
100.OU0 soft coal miners had already been
granted the IH03 scale and predicted that
by the end of the week fully 80 per cent
of the bituminous workers will have been
given the 5.65 per cent advance In wages.
He thought that within forty-flve days
every soft coal mine where the men are
organized will be working on a union
basis. 1
ALL dllBT IX AKTHRACITR HECIO
Only One Small Independent Mine la
Raanlnu.
PHILADELPHIA, April 2.-Thcre was a
complete suspension of mining operations
In the anthracite region today In accord
ance with, the order Issued laat week by
President Mitchell of the Mine Workera of
America and the scale commltttt of that
organization, with the solitary exception
of the Oxford colliery, a small Independent
In operation near Scranton, which employs
about 5t0 hands, with a daily capacity of
about 1,200 tons. This mine was kept in
operation during the strike of 1902. Every
colliery was opened as usual and In readi
ness for the workers, but there waa no
response lo tht 'blowing of the whistle
other than the appearance of the engineers,
Itiemen, pumpmen and others whose pres
ence at the mines la necessary to preserve
them from Injury and who were exempted
In President Mitchell s order.
The action of the minera occasioned 110
surprise on the part of the operators, who,
while they offered work and protection to
any who might desire to go Into the mints,
did not anticipate the acceptance of their
offer. The best of feeling between oper
ators and miners ia reported from all sec
tions and the hope that a satisfactory agree
ment may be reached at the conference In
New York tomorrow Is expected on both
sides.
Slgnincance Is attached by the minera to
the fact that there is no apparent attempt
on the part of the operators to Import non
union laborers, which they regard as a
favorable sign. The miners' leaders art
careful to assert that no strike has been
declared, the suspension, they claim, being
merely a business necessity, aa the miners
have no arrangement with the operators
until the acale is sdjusted by the com
mittee. Iluring the day In severs! districts
groups of men picketed the npproachea to
the -collieries, but their presence wua un
necesnary. In the vicinity of Scranton moat
at the washeries were operated today and
it is said more will be worked in various
sections tomorrow. The waaherea produce
only steam sizes from coal already run
through tht breaker and screened and It Is
not likely that there will be any oppo
sition from the minera lo the operation of
these waaheries. aa their production is con
sidered by them Insignificant. There ait
4"0 collieries In tht anthracite region, em
ployee ,1-J.J" aien and boys. Miners' of-
s ' nclals tonight eUmald tht numbtr of
mine workers who obeyed tht order to
suspend operations as follows:

The only disturbance that marked the
closing of the mines today occurred at
Mooalc, a small town near Scranton, where
John - Shepherd, a civil engineer at the
consolidated colliery ot the Pennsylvania
Coal company, wag shot In the hip by An--thony
Coplosk, a nine worker. Coplosk
had an argument with, a mine guard dur
ing which he shot it ,the latter. The bul
let went wild and" struck Shepherd, who
was standing nearby. , During the day
squads, of the state cdnstabulary, a police
body organised under an act of the Inst
legislature, patrolled various sections of
tht coal region, but found no disorder.

WINDUP OF ME CAMPAIGN
(Continued from First Page.)
Breen could not handle them. Why, since
Breen has been in office more money has
been spent or contracted for by the city
for extra legal services than the whole
city law department cost during the entire
time City Attorney Connell wss In charge.
Talk about the counoil being to blamt for
tht confession of Judgment of tht water
hydrant rents), it was voted by every
member unsnlmously, upon written recom
mendation of the city attorney, saying It
wss a 'valid claim.' Councilman Hunting
ton read a copy of It at one of the Im
provement club meetings the other night.
And when tht order waa rescinded the re.
quest of the lawyers wajk Daaed not upon
any assertion that tht claim was Illegal,
but that the whole matter had passed un
der tht new charter from the council to
tht water board. The fart la, Breen was
put Into tht city attorneyship vacancy
when Carl Wright resigned by a deal fixed
up by the electric lighting people and some
of the railroad lawyers. Tht city would
have been thousands of dollars better off
if Wright had served out his term, or an
experienced lawyer like Judge Fawcett had
been put In bis place."
Jim Allan denies it. but the story has
been told and repeated several times, that
the Broatch people have hung up piiset In
tht lower tarda of the city In certain pre
preclncts if these districts art carried for
Broatch, the bonus going to the election
boards or certain men on them through
friends on tht outside. Tht, ctsh prizt
mentioned Is $, Of course the device
would bt only a disguised form of bribery.
Even though tht story lacks verification.
It will serve a purpose by causing a strict
watch to bo kept for that sort of thing
Any election officer guilty of favoritism or
arbitary rulings will be open to suspicion
as making an effort to drag down some of
tht Broatch coin alleged to be up.
The other mayoralty candidates concede
tht Third ward to Broatch. but whtrt this
faction has any apecial congratulation com
ing on the point it Is hard to sea, as tht
registered voters In the Third ward en
titled to. participate In the republican pri
ms rles number sonitihlng. Hss than "0.
Both Ilenmngs and Benson sre sure of
160 to 300 votes each theie. leaving not
mora than from 5ut to tW) votes for Broatch
at tht most liberal estimate, snd estimating
tht entire registration. ,As a mailer of
tact nut tnoit tuau 750 volts will bt cast
and Broatch will be lucky If he pulls oii
votes. As sgnlnst the big odd In other
wards his Third ward plurality will be
worth nothing. The Third ward registra
tion last fall enumerated J.13 republicans.
About 150 were added by special registra
tion. Both the llennlngs and tht Benson
forces checked the ward carefully to pre
vent Illegal voting and have found that
more than 200 of the republicans registered
have left the ward, died or been Incapaci
tated for voting In some other way. Tak
ing all these things Into consideration it
Is not clear how the Third ward can be
cushed In by the Dennlson-Moise favorite.
Tom -Lee Is handling the Broatch money
In tht Third ward, but Is not doing it even
to the satisfaction of the Broatch manag
ers. He msdt the deal for the employ
ment of all the public hacks, thirty-two in
number, for Broatch and told them Tom
Dennlson would go good for the bill. His
nrbltrary distribution of favors, however,
has made a lot of people sore, who have
been running back to l-tennlson to com
plain against Ixe. Dennlson Is quoted ss
saying: "This settles it for me. No mst
ter which way the election goes. I ll never
let Tom Lee handle politics for me again."
''We won't have a clean sweep by any
means," said a prominent Fontanels
worker. We expect, however, to nominate
our share. We know there are weak spots
On the ticket and we expect to see a num
ber of our endorsees fall down. We shall
be satisfied to nominate half our slate."
He was told that the street railway com
pany had taken a foreman and several
conductors from their regular duties Mon
day to work among the nien and pass out
tht cards of Plumb, the Fontanelle club't
cniincllmnnlc candidate from the Third
ward. "I don't know anything about It,
but I would not he surprised If It were
correct."
"Let me put In a word on the city treas
urer proposition." said a member of
Omaha's German colony. "In view of the
litigation pending on the merger of city
and county treasurers the names of four
candidates for city treasurer will be found
on the republican primary ballot. Among
these four candidates I. L. Beisel, the
present deputy city treasurer, is most emi
nently litted for the ofTice. H is not a
politician, but an honest, fearless and
capable man of business who has during
the last twenty years . held various posi
tions of trust and responsibility in our
city. If a city treasurer is eventually to
be elected the voters of Omaha would
make no mistake In giving the place to Mr.
Beisel."
The only really considerable betting on
the republican mayoralty proposition thus
far heard about Is of a character tending
to show that even Broatch's closest sup
porters have lost confidence In his chances.
Saturday at the Merchants hotel "Billy"
Nesselhous, proprietor of the Budwelser
saloon and Tom Dennlson's chief of staff,
offered a three to one bet In almost any
sum that Broatch would not run third.
Charles E. Fanning coppered $000 of this
money, putting up $-.00 as his end. Later
In the day. Nesselhous made two other bets
of like size with other parties. The
Broatch crowd gasped when they learned
of it. It looked to them aa though an
exceedingly wobbly campaign had met with
a final crash.
Benson canvassers were going from door
to door Monday asking women of the
household If they Wanted $1 gus. On re
ceiving an affirmative reply the agents
would enjoin them to see that their men
folk voted for Benson. At one house on the
south side the woman heard their spiel and
said;
"The gas that Benson and his friends use
wont burn," None forme, thank you," and
shut the door. The canvassers were so dis
couraged they quit the neighborhood.
Saturday afternoon Fred Jensen, a saloon
keeper at Twentieth and Cuming streets,
was busy with a bar full of thirsty custo
mers. "I suppose you are for Broatch," said one
of the patrons.
"I should say I'm hot," replied Jensen In
a loud voice. "No Broatch in mine. We
had him before and we saloon keepers
knew how he dealt with us. He Is not the
man for the place and I'm for Hennlngs
because I believe that everyone, saloon
keepers and others, will get a fair deal.
I'm not In the least particular who knows
it, either; for I'm not for Broatch."
