(Special to The Indiana poll* >*ew*i KH&Z1L. Ind.. April 14—The joint ..-ale Committee of the coal miners -nd operators of district So. 9. of the nited Mine Workers of America, i hfch includes the Indiana block coal ^ ield. failed to reach an agreement IS lirfe yesterday, on a 'proposed new wage scale, because of the miners' demand for a weekly pay day. The minn» made a straight out demand for a pay day every Saturday night which, it is ported, precedes a vigorous fight for a weekly pay day in District No, 11. the adjacent bituminous field. Provisions for a new scale have otherwise been agreed on as
follows:
Track layers, S6 a day: trappers. *3.18; bottom eagers, IS; drivers. 16; crip riders, S«; water haulers. St; timmer men. SC; all other inside labor, blacksmiths. CC.S9%. and ail - day labor.

Mr. Ryan’s fight against the exchange has served to cement more closely his relations with his father. Thomas Fortune Ryaa. which were reported to have been strained for several years. The senior Mr. Ryan said yesterday he admired “the indomitable fighting spirit of bis soa

Ryan’s letter of resignation charged that members of the board of governors of the exchange were interested lh firms which were short of Stutz, and that a member of one committee of the exchange was a partner of a firm that was not only short of a large number of the share*, but continued to sell Stuts up to the

that the law Is unconstitutional, because it specifies only road and bride* work and excludes all other form? of county work. It is therefore class legislation, according to the ruling. The case probably will be appealed. The relief law was passed because of conditions arising out of the world war. Many contractors were unable to do work during the conflict on contracts already granted them. When the war ended many wished to be relieved of their contracts, because they had been based on a lower scale of prices for material and labor than prevailed after the signing of tne
