RAILROADERS STAND PAT.
Say There Can Be No .Compromise On Eight-Hour Question. NEW YORK,' March 13.—Even should the railroads be threatened by the four brotherhoods of trainmen with a nation-wide strike at the conference to be held here Thursday with the railroad managers, their stand will be, it was .learned here today, that there cannot be at this time any compromise on the question of the eight-hour ^working day. This position wiH be based on the Contention, it Was stated authoritatively, that railroads entered into a stipulation with the government to do nothing, to alter the status quo pending a decision by the supreme c6urt on the Adamson law.
A railroad represfentative said the managers were convinced that the men asked for the conference for the definite purpose of presenting an ultimatum on the eight hour question. It was stated that it is expected this ultimatum will be based on the demands of the men made last year on which the strike vote calling for a walkout last September was cast.
1
It will not be based on a demand for the enforcement of the Adamson law, the railroad representatives said, as that grants less than the strike vote demands.
Further reports reached the national' conference committee of the railroads today that the plans of\he men for a strike beginning Saturday night if their demands are not met were virtually complete.
LOCAL MEN INVOLVED.
Expect Order to Go Out Soon, if One Is to Be Issued. Local employes or the Big Four and Pennsylvania railroads were interested Tuesday in the reports that a progressive series of strike had been decided upon if the railroad managers failed to' meet the demands of ^he men for an eight-hour day at a meeting to Wb held Thursday. Local chairmen of the brotherhoods said,, however, that no word' has come to them as yet of a strike to be called Saturday, but that it was likely to come at any moment if one ha» been decided upon: "It will be remembered," said one of the local chairmen, "that when the conference was held in Chicago last fall it was decided that it would be impracticable tp call a geheral strike on all ynes at once, and the plan of calling out the men on individual roads or groups of roads were favored. This, of colirse, would lead to a general strike within a short space of time if the demands of the men were not gained by the first move."
The Big Four lines are a part of the New York Central system, scheduled to go out Saturday night with the firsl group. The four brotherhood chairmen on the Big Four, are not local men. being in Indianapolis and Cincinnati The word to strike, however, would be received by local committeemen, representing tiie general chairfnsn.-Gn the Pennsylvania lines there are two general chairmen here, Alex Gordon, of the firemen and H. W. Stevens, of the conductors. H. W. Pfenning is general chairman for the eneineers ana 13. H. Stewart for the trainmen, both having their headquarters in Indianapolis.
Big Four agents here did not deny Tuesday that if the strike order is carried out on their line Saturday evening the local operation of the road would be seriously affected. Two trains west for Ma.ttoon, 111., and two east, to Indianapolis are scheduled out of here every day.. Round house men. switchmen, freight handlers and others would probably be unable to continue In their operations, it was said. Thft Big "Four has a pay roll here of abouir $13,000.

casionally the prices get to running away. For Instance, yesterday's report shows one car of screened 4-inch at $3.25. two of the same at $3.50 and six at $3.00.
Costa Increased.
The bituminous operators' admitted, too, that they have suffered an increased 6oat of operation. Supplies are from 50 to 150 per cent higher than a year ago. Steel rails were $23, they are now $55. Copper was 18 cents. It is now 45 cents. Tha supply cost on a ton of coal Is now 15 to 50 cents. The only cammodities remaining 'the same are labor, under contract, and native lumber.
Operators said Tuesday the abnormal demand for bituminous coal would undoubtedly hold up the prices through April and May. Theee months, are usually the lowest price months, witH June and July very dull. March is often the best price month, especially when cold weather keeps up.
Fortunately the advent of spring is the salvation of the householder. There is hardly much doubt that the present prices on domestic grades, $5 for,4 inch lump, and $4.75 for 1% inch lump, will remain where they are throughout the present month. Market reports "showed that 4-inch screened coal was quoted, at from $3.00 to $3.50, and 1 inch screened from $2.75 to^ $3.00 at the mine.
Unusual conditions are said to prevail at the mines in comparison with former years. Contrary to the usual custom there is no coal at the mines unbilled. Abnormal demand for steam coal holds up with strong indications that coal prices will be at a higher level this year than in any former years.
BOY HURT IN COLLISION.
Youthful Cyclist Hit By Jitney Bus and Suffers Injuries. Herman Hoare, 15-year-old son of Ernest Hoare, 707 South Twentyfourth street, was slightly injured late Monday near Seventh and Sycamore streets, when he was struck by a jitney bus. Herman was riding a bicycle when the accident occurred. His knee was sprained and he received several bruises about the body. The driver of the car did not stop. Hoare reported the accident to police headquarters.
Half Often Ruined By Washing With Soap
Soap should be used very carefully, if you want to keep your hair looking its best. Most sokps and prepared shampoos contain too much alkali. This dries, tlje scalp, makes the h&ir brittle, and ruins it.
The best thing for steady use is just ordinary mulsifled cocoanut oil (which is pure and greaseless), and is better than the most expensive soap or anything else, you can use.
Orua or two teaspoonfuls will cleanse the hair and scalp thoroughly. Simply moisten the hair^with wat§r and rub it in. It makes ^n abundance of rich, creamy, lather, which rinses out easily, removing every particle of dust, (Jlrt, dandruff and excessive oil. 'ftie hair dries quickly and evenly, and it leaves the scalp soft, and the hair fine and silky, bright, lustrous, fluffy and easy to manage.
You can get mulsifled cocoanut oil at any pharmacy, it's very cheap, and a few ounces will supply every member of the family for months.—Advertisement.
