That I a certain a anything: ran be in poli tic. And this fact may prore a MK (actor whan the Baltimore convention tneeta next June to nominate the Pemo iratle randldat for I'reMdont. If Champ Clark la the Democratic nominee, and If the Democrat carry the Presidential election thin Fall. It l virtually certain that they will retain control of the lioue of Representatives.-whlrh i their today by a majority of 7. And should these thine come to pass, there. Is no Demo crat In the House who could lead a successful fight and defeat I'nderwood for the Speakership. Laderakls Well Eatabllahe. Representative l"nderwood today oc cupies the position in the House, that was held by Champ Clark In the ses sions Immediately preceding his elec tion as Bpeaker. but he Is even more, stronsly intrenched than was Clark. I'nderwood Is chairman of the ways and means committee and floor leader of the Democratic majority. Not only that, but under the, revised rules of the House. Underwood exercises much of the authority which belonged to the Speaker up to the time the Demo crats and Republican Insurgent com bined to rob the Speaker of his power. Moreover. I'nderwood Is floor leader of the majority, whereas Clark was leader of the minority, and was mere-ly ranklnir minority member of the ways and means committee. Hy reason of his prominence as Democratic floor leader an honor that was bestowed upon him by the rank and flic of the Democratic member ship of the present House Underwood has had opportunities to Increase his popularity. With Champ Clark elimi nated. Underwood towers way above all other Democrats in the House. Withdrawal t lie Expected. All this belna- true. It Is not difficult to reason that when the Baltimore con vention assembles. Underwood, after remaining lo the rare long; enough to establish the fact that he is a recoa--nixed National Democratic leader, mlcht with a-ood grace withdraw In f.ivor of Champ Clark. There appears to be little prospect that Undorwood will t,am(ifc the leadlns; candidates fi.r the Presidential nomination, for he has not Ions' been In the public eve as a National flcur He Is com paratively a younc man. apd will only have passed SO when the convention assembles. Having- attained such prominence ss he now enjoys before, reaching his 50th ear. he could well content himself with a chance at the Speakership, if. by withdrawing from the Presidential race, he, could make sure the nomi nation of Clark. For Clark and Under wood are close personal and political friends: they work In entire harmony, and each glories in the distinction acMeve.1 by the other. Of cours. If a. situation should de velop at Baltimore which would seem to Indicate that Clark could not be nominated. Underwood unquestionably would remain In the rare and take a chance on beinax nominated as a com promise candidate and It Is not to be expected that he will withdraw as Ions; as there appears to be a chance of his own nomination. Both Ostsssi T Hmb. It Is not necessary to look for any hidden motive for a Clark-Underwood alliance against Woodrow Wilson: In deed, it Is not probable that any such actual combination exlsts. But it is a fact that Clark and Underwood are both opposed to Wilson. and each would prefer the other to Wilson as the Democratic standard bearer In the light of the coming Kali. The nomi nation and election of Wilson to the presidency would rob Champ Clark of his greatest desire and would prevent the election of Underwood as Speaker of the House. That being true, it Is reasonable noilKh that Clark and Underwood should both be stronglv opposed to the Wilson candidacy. Neither would gain by Wilson's nomination; both would lose.

Negotia tions between the 200.000 miners in tho bituminous coal fields of Western Pennsylvania. Indiana and Illinois and the operators for an adjustment of wage llfTerenres were postponed to nlftht until next Tuesday. Two compromise offers by the oper ators were voted down by the miners today. These offers were that the present wage and working scale be continued for two years after its ex piration on April 1. and that there be no suspension of the mines on any ac count. The miners had asked for a 10 per cent increase In pay and a shortening of working hours. As against this, the operators had asked that the waze scale be cut down 10 per cent. The of fer of the operators to continue the present wage scale was in the nature of a compromise. Mlaera Demand Beaewed. Indications that the. operators and the miners' delegates would not come to an immediate settlement were shown In the afternoon when a sub committee composed of eight miners and eight operators began to consider a compromise which they were to re port back to the full conference. The full conference, composed of 64 members, for two days had heard the demands of the miners for a 10 per cent Increase and a reduction of a day's working hours from to 7, with Ave hours on Saturday, and had failed to agree. The whole dispute then had been referred to the sub-committee. When the sub-committee met, the miners renewed their demands. John P. White, president of the I'nited Mine Workers of America, told the com mittee: Conditions are such that the coal miners of this country cannot, with their present pay. live as they ought to live. They are not on a par with other laborers and we will not con tinue to work after April 1 with our present pay and long working hours. Saspeaaloa la Threatened. - "If our demands are granted, we will go right on without a suspension; If they are denied or modified, wo wlU suspend." The eight operators replied that the demands would cause a 20 per cent In crease in the payroll and that this In crease was not warranted by the pres ent earning power of the mines. They argued that the present pay should be reduced 10 per cent. 8ome suggested that a continuation of tho present scale with no shutdown of the mines would be a compromise. A vote showed the miners unanimous In their rejection of the compromise. The sub-commlltee then adjourned to report back to tho full conference. The operators made it known that any failure to agree at this time was nt final, as they had arranged for re- convenin; on call.

PARTY ISSUE IS DRAWN Duty on Manufactures Adjusted to Cost of Conversion From Wool to Cloth Carpet Rate Is Greatly Reduced. WASHINGTON. March 22. The Re publican members of tho ways and means committee introduced today a minority bill revising the woolen schedule of the present tariff law in accordance with their interpretation of the report of the tariff board. The bill would reduce the duties on wool and manufactures , of wool about 40 per cent. Representative Payne introduced the minority bill after tho committee, by a strictly party. vote, had declined to substitute it for tho Underwood bill. Introduced yesterday, which would place an ad valorem duty of 20 per cent on raw wool. Duty Reduced to 35 Per Cent. Under the Republican bill the equiva lent ad valorem duty would be about 36 per cent on raw wool, as compared with 20 per cent in the Underwood bill. In an analytical statement. Repre sentative Hill pointed out that the Re publican measure, by combining class one and two wools under a single rate of duty as class one, would eliminate discrimination, so far as shrinkage of wool is concerned, between the carded and worsted branches industry.
