TRUSTEES HOLD BRIEF SESSION
Strawberry And Rose Carnival Will
Hp Held In Conjunction With
Annual State Grango
Meeting.
At a special meeting of the trus
tees of the Roseburg Commercial
Club held last night It was definitely
decided to hold the fourth annual
Strawberry and Rose Carnival, In
Roseburg, on May 16, 17 and 18, in
clusive. Another meeting will be held in a
few days, at which time committees
will be appointed to secure the many
entertainment features and arrange
other details attendant to the occas
ion. In selecting the dates for the
event, the trustees deemed it wise to
hold the carnival in conjunction with
the annual State! Grange meeting,
thus assuring a large crowd during
the three dayB.
Although effecting no arrange
ments last night. It was decided to
make the several parades a feature
of the event. By the time of holding
the carnival, Roseburg will probably
have no less than fifty automobiles,
all of which will undoubtedly be en
tered In the grand decorated auto
mobile parade. Last year this fea
ture was omitted from the program,
to the regret of those In charge of
arrangements.
In the language of one of the
trustees present at last nlght'B meet
ing, this year's carnival will far sur
pass any event of its kind ever held
in Southern Oregon.

CLEVELAND, Ohio, Murch 30.
That a complete sugneustuu of the
coal mining industry of the entire
county will result within less than
two weeks is the prediction of per
sons close In touch with the present
labor conditions. While both the
bituminous and anthraclto miners
are taking a referendum vote rela-;
live to a general strike the govern-,
ment will propose a compromise and i
thus assist in averting one of the j
most dangerous strikes the country j
has ever known. I
An intimation of the impending
proposal came to light here today
following a conference of President
White, of the United Coal Workers
Union, and the coal magnates. While
not nmkliig public full details re
garding the conference It Is known
that a compromise has been compil
ed and only awaits the signature of
the union officials and approval of
the miners. The compromise effects
-approximately 1 70.000 miners, and
was drawn up by a snb-conimittee at
the instigation of the miners' union.
The compromise fixes the wage scale
of bituminous coal miners at an In
crease of about fi cents per ion over
the former scale.
White It Is impossible to ascertain
the feeling of the miners relative to
the compromise, It Is predicted here
today that a satisfactory settlement
will be reached and that the strike
will be avoided. All patties Inter
ested are apparently willing to ne
gotiate for terms, and are not dis
posed to strike unless forced to do
10 through unexpected action of the
mine owners In refusing to grant an
increase.

LONDON. Eng.. March 30. Of
ficers of the miners' federation head
quarters here are today counseling
with tho coal miners to accept the
government minimum wage bill and
thus end the strike. In the Lauuhire

ed against accepting the measure un
less the minimum wage Is fixed at
five shillings for odults and two
shillings for minors.
