attention to the thorough preparation c

Both sides admit that the proaecu
for an amicable settlement of
be existing differences are not very
right. Th^ miners declare their lnsntion
to.stand firm in their demand
or a ?oTen nour aay. nve nouns on
atardsy, with full pay. and an averge
advance of ten per cent on the G

The prospect of s strike in the soft tr
oe* field. whil? serious enough In 1U th
anaequences, is not regarded with in
he same alarm in industrial circles W
kg the possibility of a similar tie- pc
p of the anthracite mines. The jo
rlnclpal reason for this is that the _
>ft coal supply Is not limited to s ?
mall territory as In tlje esse of the 9a
apply of anthracite. A dosen states,
lore- or less, produce ooft coal la
anaiderable quantities, and to main- It
tin a strike in all of them at once
ould be a stupendous undertaking,
hen, too. several of th# fields, parIcularly
that of West Virginia, are hn
ot unionised. The railroads and tb
ther Industries dependent upoh the N.

INDIANA STATE : '
IS FOR MARSHALL
Indianapolis,' lnd./ "March 21>?
.Every train into Indianapolis today
(brodght scores o.f delegates to the
Democratic State convention, which
:ineetfl here tomorrow to 'nominate
candidates for" governor and other
state offices and to select delegates
atHarge to attend the Democratic national
convention in Baltimore.
'Presidential electors also will
selected. The convention will meet
jTomlfneon Hall and will be composed
of 1,747 delegates.
There appears to be no doubt of
the nomination of Samuel Ralston ot
Lebanon for governor, sluce he re- .
ceived a solid delegation of 1S6 votes
to the State convention through too
influence of Thomas Taggart, former
chairman of the national committee
and for many years the undisputed
boss of the DemocratI' party in
Indiana.
| Xelthor does there appear to be
any great likelihood of a contest on
ithe presidential instructions to b?
'given the delegates to the Baltimore
.convention, as Indiana Is expected to
bestow her strength on her favorite %
son. Governor Thomas It. Marshal!
it Is conceded that Governor Marshall
should have the solid suppor"
of the State on the first ballot In th~
national convention, but it is doubtful
If the Indiana delegates will bo
charged to remafa with the governor
until the e>nd of the fight.
It la generally believed that Mr
Taggart plana to throw the strength
of the State to Harmon as soon as it
becomes apparent that Governor
[ Marshall has no chance of winning:
the race. This program Is believed
to be subject to change only in the
event that Senator Kern should decide
to enter the presidential race, a * "*
'thing that Is regarded aa not only
"possible, but highly probable If the
balloting for canddatee should ha
protracted.
The choice of the State convention
for delegates at large probably will
fall upon Senators Kern and Shi rely.
Mr. Taggart and. n fourth not yet
agreed upon. William H. O'Brlee.
