MINER
UNION
WILL NOT STRfKE
Bituminous Operators Are Said
to Have Agreed to Restore
Reduction in Wages.
MORE MAY BE CONCEDED
Anthracite Mlneowncrs Will Be
Forced to Follow Example Set,
Says Vice-President Letvis,' .
of the Mineworkers.
INDIANAPOLIS, ind., Feb. . 25.-Tn a
Htatement issued tonight to the Associated
Press, Vice-President T. L. Lewis, of the
United Mineworkers of America, declares
that tliere will be no strike of the mlnc
workers April 1, saying: the operators -will
restore! the reduction accepted by the
miners two years ago, and perhaps more.
The statement is as follows:
You may accept one proposition as a
fixed fact that there will be no strike in
the mining: industry April 1. The oper
ators will restore the reduction accepted
by the miners two years ago, and perhaps
more. F. L. Bobbins, of Pennsylvania,
and Mr. Taylor, of Illinois, leaders of the
operators, recognize their untenable posi
tion at Indianapolis, and have gracefully
submitted to the Inevitable, and will pay(
an advance to the miners. '
"A general strike will be averted. Busi
ness will not be paralyzed by Industrial
strife. An era of peace will be established
for another period of years, and the trade
agreement method of settling labor dis
putes will win new friends to its standard.
Pressure "on Anthracite Operators.
"The anthracite operators must now"
grant an advance in view of the action
of the bituminous operators.
"The details will be worked out later,
and probably through a special National
convention of the mineworkers.
"For two years -it has been my deter
mined purpose to have all wage agree
ments of the miners terminate on the
same date, so that unity of action might
be secured without violating existing
agrements on April 1, 1905. The first move
in this direction was made in Pittsburg,
Kan., In the Summer of 1904, when the
expiration date of the contract was ex
tended from the end of August to the end
of March, this year. Practically all our
agrements expire March SI next. By vir
tue of this arr an foment the mineworkers
of the country are now in a position to
compel the operators to deal with us
justly.
J'At the recent Joint convention I advo
cated an advance for the miners, because
1 believe the are entitled to it
Prosperity of Affected Interests.
"the iron and. steel industry and the
railroads of the country the very large
consumers of coal were never more pros
perous than now. From admissions made
by those engaged in the production of coal
and dependent largely upon the above
named industry, it must be apparent that
a few cents per ton advance to the miners
was not to stand in the way of the con
tinued prosperous condition of the Iron,
steel and railroad Interests.
"The "operators at the recent Indian
apolis .convention showed the strongest
evidence of the weakness of their position
when they Ignored our arguments that
they could pay an advance to the mine
workers at the present selling price, of
coal and still make a large profit Devel
opments will- prove additional' facts:
"First That some of the corporations
represented, at the recent Indianapolis
joint convention were not in a position
to make a successful resistance of the
miners demands.
"Second That the great coal -consuming
public will, not materially suffer by reason
of the advance which, will be granted to
the miners."

No Change, Says Chairman Bobbins.
PITTSBURG. Feb. 25.-Francis X.. Rob
bins, chairman of the executive board of
the Pittsburg Coal Company, and one of
fhe operators who was a party to the In
terstate agreement, was not In the city

"There has been no change In the sit
uation between the bituminous coal oper
ators and the United Mineworkers regard
ing the arrangement of a new wage
agreement for the year starting April 1
next There can be no compromise offer
to the miners without a meeting of the
operators who, are members of the Inter
state agreement and no such meeting has
been held, jior has one been called. The

SOLDIERS ARE , PELAYED
Three Tralnloads Harrying to Trans
port for the Orient.
LOS ANGELES, Cat, Feb. 25. Three
tralnloads of soldiers, the Eiirhth
United States Infantry, which are be
ins rushed across the country in time
to catch a transport at San Francisco
for .the Orient, did not pass through
Los Angeles today as expected. They
are delayed in Arizona by the derailing
of a passenger train at Bulck Station
yesterday, which blocked the track.
They are expected to pass through here
about 5 A. M. tomorrow.
It is stated that they were being
rushed through under contract with
the War Department by the Southern
Pacific, in time to embark on a trans
port sailing- from San Francisco to
rn errew morning. Unless the transport
Js held they will not now be able- to

Park. He say that the- city could not be
Imposed upon and that this alone prompt
ed him to action. He, says Lafe Pence
did not notify him .when he built the
flume, and that he says there Is no rca.
son why he should let Mr. Pence know
when he set out to protect the rights of
the- city.
He statl last night that he still be
lieved the flume he bad destroyed was
within Macleay Park. He said he did not
think Mr. Pence bad any grounds, for a
damage suit and that the whole difficulty
wottW probably be settled at the meeting
of the Park Board this morning.
The -meeting of the Park Board prom
ises many sensations.
Mr. Pence says that one of the members
of the board has a sinister motive in op
posing him. and that he will tell all at
the meeting. 'He alleges that this mem
ber has a relationship or an understand
ing with the Ibex Land Company, and
by buying the land he could have quieted
the trouble. This he says he refused to
do.
Policemen Burke and Ellis, who pa
trolled the flume telephoned into
headquarters late last night that Mr.
Pence and Mr. Idlcman, the attorney,
bad tried to Induce them to return to
the city. They said that Mr. Pence and
Mr. Idlcman had told them that every
thing had been settled with the Mayor
and that the officers were to return to
beadquartera. No directions were re
ceived at the police station from
Mayor Lane, and the officers- were In
structed to remain on the detail.
LAFE PENCE'S STORY.
Ho Declares That Maclcay's Wishes
"Were Misunderstood.
'WhPn the Park Board refused my pe
tition it -seas mv oersonal petition and the
company had not been incorporated," said
Mr. Pence yesterday afternoon following
the visit of the Mayor and the members
of the police force. "As an indiviauai, i
had no nower under the law to condemn.
Some months ago the company was in
corporated, and it has the power to con
demn. "When the Park Board refused my peti
tion last Summer it was because it was
claimed before the Board by J. A. Martin,
ex-president of the organization, and who
Is one of the present members, that Don
ald Maclcay, the donor of the park, had
given It to the city on the express in
junction that it should be kept In Its
wild condition, as a home for birds and
-uncontamlnated by man. Mr. Martin made
the statement jn good, faith, and did not
discover his error until some time later.
I went on with the construction of the
higher flume lines including a good many
miles of continuous flume and a long
stretch of canal In rock and earthwork
and a tunnel 1063 feet long.
"The City Council had already granted,
a right of way to the Oregon Traction
Company for a railroad up Balch Creek
across Macleay Park. The engineer of
the company, Mr. Gardner, was surprised
and alarmed at the statement made re
garding Mr. Macleys wishes, as they
might affect his company's construction,
and had the good sense tc hunt up and
find out Just what Mr. Maclcay's wishes
had been. He learned that Mr. Macleay
had expressed in bis deeded gift his real
wishes directly contrary to such as had
been represented.
"In his grant he directed that the trees
cut from the land should be equally di
vided between St Vincent's Hospital and
the Good Samaritan Hospital, and that
the park should be improved and beauti
fied, and that upon such Improvements
being made the city should maintain dur
ing the Summer a conveyance with which
the convalescent patients of the hospitals
could be given free rides through the
park.
1 secured a copy of the deed and car
ried it at once to Mr. Martin. He prompt
ly said that he was man enough to undo
the harm he had done me by speaking to
the members of the Board, and I had no
doubt but that he did so. I also spoke
to the Mayor on the subject and he was
surprised and immediately expressed his
unqualified opinion that of course I should
be permitted to make the Improvements
without any further obstruction.
'T spoke to the member of the Board
who had opposed me, and he admitted
that he had known all the time of the
language in Mr. Macleay's' deed, but he
refused to tell and has not told yet the
real facts. I also know why he opposed
me and haven't told yet
"My ditch system as constructed Is not
as originally surveyed and staked, be
cause one landowner on my high line
objected. That was the Ibex Land Com
pany. My first survey crossed a corner
of Its land up In the hollows of Balch
Basin. It kindly stood by and let me
clear off the right of way and remove
the stumps and logs. Then, in my ab
sence from the city and without notice,
enjoined me from constructing there. I
cleared a strip about 990 feet long.
"I bad an Interview with its lawyer and
my attorney, C. M. Jdleman, which made
perfectly clear to me that there must
be some close relationship between the
Ibex Land Company and the obstruction
ist upon the Park Board. I declined the
opportunity to make ray way easy with
the Park Board by baying the worthless
land of the Ibex Land Company, and went
back up my ditch line and got around the
hill by going through It
"I have harnessed tho Idle waters "to
the west of Portland, and appropriated
them under the state law, and have
them at work through four giants making
bad lands good. No member of the Park
Board and no citizen of Portland who will
visit the plant but will promptly see that
the enterprise Is a public blessing.
"One thing is plain enough that it Is
high time to begin carrying out the real
wishes of Donald Macleay. I am ready
to do my share. I suppose the Park
Board will visit the slant with me this
-morning. It will be good for the Mayor
io una oui just wnere Macleay Park Is.
"This is not the time nor the place to
discuss the Mayor's actions, but It re
minds me of the old times - in Portland
the. year I came here away back In the
Summer of 1906. I thought I was movine
'and taking part in a new and a. greater
roruana. l taiiuc so yet and expect to
continue to take part in the activities.
"I expect to see these rough bills come
down. I expect to see worthless hollows
and swamps filled rap, and I expect to
use. by legal appropriation, the waters of
Balch Creek and those from the head
waters of the Tualatin, which I have
brought by flume through Gu beers' Gap
for these purposes.
"If the Park Board visits the scene and
takes action in pen session I do not ex
pect to be compelled to condemn through
the park at all. I expect four favorable
votes. Four will .be enough the other I
can spare, and so can the land-owners

ST. PETERSBURG. Feb. 25. The efforts,

recently announced. In the Cabinet came
to a head tonight, when M. Timlarlazef.
at Count "Wltte's Invitation, dined with
the Premier and the two statesmen dis
cussed for several hours the possibility of
the withdrawal of the resignation.
The outcome of this conference Is un
known, as M. Timlriazeff did not return
to his residence until after midnight and
thereafter was inaccessible, but It is
certain to take strong assurances of a
change in the attitude of the government
to induce him to withdraw the resigna

accepted, and abandon the strong vantage
point of a "defender of liberty," which
he acquired by his opportune withdrawal.

BERLIN. Feb. 25. Emperor William
and Emprew Augusta. Victoria received
deputations from tho Rcichstasr, the
Prussian Diet, the Prussian House of
Lords and other governmental bodies at
the palace today, who tendered congratu
lations on the silver weddins" anniversary
of their majesties, wftlch Is next Tues
day. Deputations from many German
cities also presented written addresses.
The Mayor of Berlin handed the Emperor
a document bearing the names of the
Emperor and Empresa and showing an
expenditure of $12,00 for charitable insti
tutions.
Their majesties, according to the reso
lution announced months ago, will not re
ceive presents from their subjects, ex
cept the money for charitable uses, which
many municipalities and numerous mer
cantile companies and private Individuals
have voted or donated, out of respect for
the Emperor and Empress, ror new Hos
pital extensions or for founding new In
stitutions for the relief of suffering, esti
mated at n.W9.0M or a2.0G0.0CD. Such an
outpouring of donations, is quite without
precedent In Germany. About ICQ annexes
or new foundations wUI be dedicated in
Prussia Tuesday, all receiving- the names
of the Emperor or of the Empress.
A brilliant display was made by trie
deputations of military officers from
Great Britain. Russia. Austria and other
powers as tho drove down "Unter den
Unden to present their congratulations.
The Emperor also received a deputation
from the United German veteran socie
ties of North America, consisting of sol
diers who fought In the war with Den
mark, Austria and France. The veterans
were Introduced by Vice-Admiral Buech-
gel, chief C the Admiralty, who is an
honorary member of the societies. This
delegation presented the Emperor and
Empress with a huge bowl resting on an
onyx column, the whole about five feet
In height. Three buffalo heads, sur
mounted fey broase figures of Indians, are
en the bae the cv. which is also dec
ervtfcd wKb Imwz aad arrvwz. The bowl
contain? also portraits of Emperor "Will
iam and President Boosevelt and designs
symbolical of German and American
relations.
The wedding of Prince Eltel-Fritz. sec
ond son of Emperor "William, and the
Duche&J Sophie Charlotte, of Oldenburg,
Tuesday, will almost be a replica of that
of the Crown Prince and Crown Princess
last June. The Duchess Sophie, as part
of the pageant, will enter Berlin the even
ing preceding through a flower and banner-bedecked
way to the castle, where
the Emperor, surrounded by his family
and numerous German Princes will await
her. The grandmother of the Duchess,
Princess Frlederich Karl, of Prussia, will
