biiiii, mouM h th next Npeaker of
Ibe iJoun of Reprwnrntatlvrm. 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.

WAGE ISSUE WAITS
Bituminous Coal Miners and
Operators D.o Not Agree.
MEN REJECT COMPROMISE
Further Conference May Ho Had
XcTt Tuesday, AVhcn Decision
Affecting 200.00 0 Workers
Slay Be Reached.
CLTTVELAN'P. March :i. 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. If any change de-

MINORITY BILL IN
Republicans Offer Wool Tariff
Measure in House.
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.
Cost of Manufacture Considered.
He said it would make woolen rags
dutiable at 2 cents a pound Instead of
