Indianapolis, Jan. 18.—A 10 per cent increase in wages for the bituminous coal miners of North America proba bly will be the demand formulated in the annual convention of the United Mine Workers of America which open ed here today. The contracts between the bitumi nous miners and the operators of the following states expire March 31: Central and western Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Ohio, Indiana, Michi gan, Illinois, Kentucky, Missouri, Iowa, Kansas, Arkansas, Oklahoma and Tex as. Contracts in Tennesee, Wyoming, Montana, Colorado and Washington also will expire this year. In all of these states a uniform increase of wages will be asked. On Feb. 1 a conference between miners and operators is to be held at Toledo, and there the demands of the miners will be discussed. spector of offices was created \in b.rder that young Ballinger might return -Lieutenant Governor home at the expense of the govern ment and continue to draw pay. He resigned his position, Mr. Hitchcock says, two w’^eeks after he reached Seat tle. Salaries Inoreased. Mr. Hitchcock also charged that sal aries are being increased and new positions created in the interior de partment without authority of law and that many of the field agents are utterly unqualified to do the work for which they were appointed. Chairman McGuire announced that the charges made by Mr. Hitchcock were specific enough to warrant bis committee to make a . searching inves tigation of the expenditures in the department and said that the investi gation would be begun at once. The report of the conferees on the resolution providing for an investiga tion of the Ballinger-Pinchot contro versy has been offered by Senator Nel son. The conferees decided that the in vestigating committee should make its report to the present congress, which means that the investigation can run along until March, 1911. A new pro vision was added to the resolution permitting officials of the government or other interested parties whose con duct is in question to appear before ' the investigating committee in person or by counsel. Before Grand Jury. Albany, Jan. 17.—According to those W’ho are in a fair position to know, there is a strong probability that the Onondago county grand jury will dis close sensational dealings in connec tion with the attempt to transfer the ownership of the People’s Mutual Life Insm’ance associatiou of Syracuse. Attorney General O’Malley has said that the directors of the company who received any money through the trans fer will be prosecuted for the return of the money, and he adds that the cases will be followed up vigorously. It is thought very likely that Lieu tenant Governor Horace White will be called upon for further testimony by State Spperiutendent of lusui.ince Hotchkiss and may also appear as a witness before the grand .,ury. Mr. White acted as counsel for the First National bank of Syracuse in its deal ings with the People’s Mutual associa tion and was oue of the baiiK’s direct ors until last Saturday, when his resig nation w’as accepted. It has develi'ped and lias been ad mitted by M i . White that $150,000 placed in his hands late last month a8 trustee or agent and was paid in by him in amounls rjiuging from $5,000 td $.30,000 to some of the old directors, to the First National bank of Syracuse and to himself. Troops to Stop Jeffries-Johnson Fight. Chicago, Jan. 17.—Governor William Spry of Utah, who is in Chicago, says positively that the Jeffries-John- son battle of July 4 will not take place in Salt Lake City or any other part of Utah. Furthermore, Governor Spry states that if any, attempt is made to stage this contest within his Jurisdiction he will not hesitate to eall out the state militia to prevent a vio lation of the Utah law which provides u penalty of fine or imprisonment, or both, for both principals and specta tors.
