WEEK'S FORECAST

HOUSE HAS BUSY WEEK AHEAD
Crisis in Coal Mining Industry is Reach
edBituminous Miners Will Work
Where Scale of 1903 Has
Been Agreed To.
WASHINGTON. D- C, April l.-The
following is 11 forecast of the events
this week:
Tho railroad rale bill will continue to
occupy the Senate to the exclusion of
almost all the other subjects. The bill
will be taken up today as soon as the
routine business is disposed of and
Senator Long will introduce nn amend
ment agreed upon at the conference of
the friends of the bill with the Presi
dent 1111 Saturday. Should the expecta
tion of the friend of the bill lie realized
a vote upon the measure will be reach
ed much earlier than was anticipated
Friday.
In the House the program is short as
to subjects, but full as to legislative
work. Monday will be suspension day
and the bills on the calendar will be
missed. Tuesday a bill providing for
government aid in the suppression of
yellow tever will lie in social oraer
Wednesday the post office appropriation
bill will be considered and will have the
right of way until the end of the week.
The crisis in the coal mining indus
try i reached. In the bituminous field
the miners will stay at work where the
scale of 1 0011 is agreed to, but where
the demands are not met there will be
a strike. The anthracite miners and
operators will meet Tuesday for a fur
ther conference on the scale. Pending
the outcome the miners will not return
to work. The operator have adopted a
conciliatory tone at the mines and dis
turbances are not anticipated.
The French coal strike has taken on
a serious aspect and tho government is
taking part in quelling the disturbances
which will undoubtedly continue this
week.

safe guarded that neither is able to
