He thought that within 45 days every soft. coal mine, where the men are organized, will be working on a union basis. Not For Long.

New York, April 3.â€"The eve of the #wecond meeting of the committees repâ€" resenting the anthracite mine workers and their employers finds the situation, so far as the bhard coal fields are conâ€" cerned, unchanged from that disclosed in the communications that have passâ€" ed between the contending forces, which have been made public. T Both sides are hopeful, however, and there is a feeling among those yitally interested in the struggle that some way out of the present difficulty will be found. This feeling is based on the fact that each side has only played its first card, and that the real negotiaâ€" tions have not yet begun. Only One Colliery Working Full.

The road deâ€" partment . should, and dowbtless will, use all gue diligence in attending to their work as far as the means . a!t thoir disposal permit. There are, however, some so pleasing. The care and. cultivation of our parks is well done, and they are a credit to the commission and an otnâ€" ament to the town. In many instanâ€" ces large private grounds are moâ€"dels of neatness and good taste, and many smaller plots are a credit to those who take care of them. It is about time that the road deâ€" partment in Berlin made a start to remove the mud and fertilizer from the sides of King street at least. Beâ€" tween Foundry and Water streets along King the gutters on either side are standing full of filth and ‘stugh to such an extent that pedestrians canâ€" not cross ‘without wading ankle deep in mire. *Those complaining of â€"â€"mud on the side streets can solace themâ€" selves with the fact that in a _ few weeks it will become dust and . blow away with the wind. In a country with a climate such as ours we may i0 some extent expect to have a cerâ€" tain amount of slush, slough and proâ€" faniiy accompany every breakâ€"up in the spring, but to procrastinate the cleaning up of this slush indefinitely is a kind of indifference that . should not be tolerated. it is not the rown authorities alone who must be looked to if Berlin is to be a clean and atâ€" tra®tive place to Itve in. The cltiz ens have their part to _ perform as well. _ Clean back yards and well kept lawns are as commendable â€" and necessary as clean and well graded, streets. 1 The present time is the season ef the year when provision should . be made for a general cleaning up. There are many places in most towns and cities where nearly every description of refuse has been dumped since last: fall on heaps which have accumulatâ€" ed to such an extent as to become unâ€" sightly. When the rays of the spring sun begin to beam on these stacks of refuse for twelve hours a day the efâ€" fluvia generated is much less fragrant than oriental incense. __The _ _proposed _ transmissionlines would provide 60,000 volt transmisâ€" sion power lines to the seven interâ€" ested municipalities and 10,000 volt transmisston _ to the other eleven. There would be four such 60,000 volt fines from Niagara to Hamilton; two thence to Toronto and two to Brantâ€" ford; from Brantford one to Paris, Woodstock, â€" Ingersoll and â€" London, with a line breaking away at Woodâ€" stock to Stratford. Stratford would be a centre of subsidiary distribution serving St. Marys ‘ and Mitchell at 10,000 volts. From Hamilton anothâ€" er line would pass through Dundas to Guelph, from which â€" place a line would run to serve Berlin, Waterloo, Preston, Hespeler and Galt. _ Supplementing the figures given yesâ€" terday may be added these, showing the cost at the municipal subâ€"station switchboard in the following municiâ€" palities. of the surplus power develâ€" oped .over and above that required by the original seven :â€"Hamilton $9.61, St. â€"Thomas $15.89; .

There had beena great deal of curiâ€" osity as to whether the Government would dispose ofâ€"the minerals on this property in the usual way; and he deâ€" sired to say that the Government, after much consideration, had come to the conclusion not to dispose of it.
