[" Established 13Ô7 Sherbrooke Daily Record.SHERBROOKE, QUE., WEDNESDAY, MARCH 27, 1912.ONE CENT IMMEDIATE BALLOT WILL BE TAKEN ON MINIMUM WAGE BILL.Mine Workers in Various District Will Cast Their Vote For or Against \u2014 Men are Asked if They Will Return to Work Pending Settlement of Minimum Rate of Wages.London, March £7.\u2014(Special)\u2014At a full meeting of the Miners\u2019 Federation this morning it was decided to take an immediate ballot among the men as to whether or not they desire to accept the Government\u2019s minimum wage and return to work.The miners\u2019 delegates will return to their respective districts at the earliest moment, so that no time shall be lost in funding result of ballot.The text of the ballot paper is as follows : \"Are you in favor of resuming work pending settlement of minimum rates of wages ui various grades by district boards to be appointed under coal mines minimum wage act.\u2019\u2019 More moderate members tried to get the Federation to insert a recommendation on the ballot paper, but it was decided to leave the men a free hand.BARE MAJORITY TO VOTE.A bare majority of votes will be sufficient for the acceptance or rejection of the proposition.William Edward Harvey, Miners\u2019 member of House of Commons, who represents sentiments of most of the leaders of men in Federation area, says that he intends to tell 40,000 miners of Derbyshire the \"wage bill has become law on land so that there can be no question of accepting its provisions or otherwise.They must be made the best of.\u201d BILL PASSED HOUSE OF COMMONS.London, March 27.\u2014A fateful day in the history of British trade struggles came to a close early this morning when the passage through Parliament by a large majority of the bill establishing in legislation the principle of a minimum wage in the country\u2019s most important industry.The Minimum Wage Bill passed its third reading in the House of Commons by a vote of 213 to 48, amid a scene of great excitement.The House of Lords reassembled at 2.50 o'clock to receive the bill, and on motion of Lord Herschell it passed its first reading.Premier Asquith on leaving the , House of Commons was loudly cheer- ! ed by all the members.After a strike lasting nearly a month, and involving the whole coal country in untold distress, the miners have thus secured recognition of the principle which they set out to obtain.But they are still dissatisfied because the bill does not specify the amount of the minimum wage.Thus there is no prospect of any immediate settlement of the strike.The miners\u2019 leaders declare their determination to keep up the strike until they have secured guarantees of a minimum wage of five shillings for men, or until the district boards, as provided by the bill, arrange acceptable terms.MINERS\u2019 NEW DEMANDS.The Government\u2019s persistent efforts to secure an outside settlement collapsed in a most dramatic manner.Premier Asquith had the greatest difficulty in getting the owners and the men to meet yesterday, aud it was only finally on the earnest persuasion of Sir Edward Grey, the foreign secretary, that the owners consented to confer with the men\u2019s representatives.The meeting lasted hut a few minutes.The representatives of the Scotch miners pui.forward a demand for a minimum of live shillings nine pence for men and three shillings for boys, whereupon the owners, protesting that they -were always being faced by fresh demands, angrily broke up the conference and quitted the room, leaving Premier Asquith, Secretary Grey and Chancellor Lloyd George thunderstruck and crestfallen at the unexpected turn of events.It was under emotion, the result of disappointment at this scene, that the Prime Minister went immediately to the House of Commons to announce the failure of the conference in a speech which evoked the sympathy of the whole House.What will be the next steps in the struggle it is impossible to foretell.By Thursday the Minimum Wage Bill will have received the royal assent and become law.In the meantime th3 Miners\u2019 Federation and Labor parry will hold meetings to decide upon their future course.It is reported that the Government intends to constitute a National Wages Board, with an independent chairman, to endeavor to secure resumption of work on a five and two shillings basis.MUf BÏE-LAW Granby Board of Trade Dealt With That of Montreal and Southern Counties Ry.MATTER WAS REFERRED BACK TO CITY COUNCIL AND WILL THEN GO TO PEOPLE.Granby, March 27.\u2014 lSpecial)\u2014A very largely attended meeting of the Board of Trade was held here, last night, for the purpose of discussing the proposed Montreal and Southern Counties Electric Railway By-law.Dr.C.P.Verdon, vice-president, occupied the chair.Mr.W.P.Paul, of the Montreal and Southern Counties Railway, was present at the meeting.With the prospect of two electric .roads being built to Granby, the members did not want to grant any privileges to one that would in any way deter the other from building.The by-law prepared by Mr.Paul for the Council, and later referred by the Council to the Board of Trade, was discussed at great length.Finally on a motion by Mr.J.Bruce Payne the Board of Trade referred the By-law back to the Council, asking that it be referred to the people after they bad made the amendments they thought necessary.An amendment was moved to the effect that no steps be takwn until the C.P.R.had placed their proposition before the Cokncil.The amendment was lost.The meeting broke up at a late hour without further business being transacted.EXPENDITURE OF OVER NINETEEN MILLION.Supplementary Estimates Were L&id Before House of Commous.SUBSIDY TO EACH PROVINCE FOR THE ENCOURAGEMENT OF AGRICULTURE.Ottawa, March 27.\u2014The supplementary estimates for the fiscal year were laid on the table by Hon.W.T.White, minister of finance, last night, amounting in all to $19,610,039.80.Of this amount $13,072,562.89 is chargeable to consolidated fund and $6,537, 12.91 is chargeable to capital account.One of the most interesting of the new items is the half million dollars subsidies to the provinces of Canada for the encouragement of agriculture and a million dollars as subsidies for the improvement of highways.These amounts have been carefully divided amongst the several provinces according to population.The subsidy for agriculture is divided as follows: Ontario, $175,733.32; Quebec, $139,482.-40; Nova Scotia, $34,288.45; New Brunswick, $24,509.93; Prince Edward Island, $0,529.85; British Columbia, $27,334.76; Manitoba, $31,730.05; Saskatchewan $34,296.29; Alberta, $26,-094.95.One million dollars for highways is divided as follows : Ontario, $351,-466.64; Quebec, $278,964.80; Alberta, $52,189.90; British Columbia, $54,669.-52; Manitoba, $63,460.10; New Brunswick, $49,019.86; Nova Scotia, $68,-576.90; Prince Edward Island, $13,-059.70; Saskatchewan, $68,592.58.The only item

27 OFFICERS AND 3,500 KILLED AND WOUNDED.London, March 27.\u2014(Special)\u2014The Turkish army in Tripoli has just achieved a great victory over the Italian army, whose losses were 27 officers and 3,500 men killed and wounded, according to a report of the Turkish commander at Benghazi, received here to-day from a special correspondent at Turkish headquarters.The location of the battle is not given in the report, which says that the entire camp equipment of the Italians fell into the hands of the Turkish troops.The Turkish commander says that the casualties among the Turks and Arabs numbered only 150 killed and wounded.GAS 9L0M KIUSMTY-ÏWO.Only Eleven Men Escaped cut of ?Virginia Coal ffilne.FAMILIES OF DEAD MEN FIND THEMSELVES IN VERY SORE STRAITS.Welch, W.Va., March 27.\u2014Eighty two men were killed yesterday by a gas explosion in the Jed Coal and Coke Company mine at Jed, W.Va., a half dozen miles from here.Only eleven men escaped alive and one of these died within an hour after being brought to the surface.Last night 33 bodies had been located and the rescuers hoped to have them out shortly.Exploring parties covered all of the mine by 3 o\u2019clock this morning, and expected to have all the bodies out by noon.When the explosion took place probably only the eleven men working at the foot of the shaft had a chance for their lives.They made their way up the cages which were not damaged.Though some of the blades of the fans were shattered, they continued to operate, with the fortunate result that enough air was present to admit searching parties immediately.The usual scenes of horror and grief which attend mine disasters were lacking here yesterday.No families of the miners crowded about the mouth of the shaft.Women have kept within their homes overcome with grief and distraction.The mine was inspected last Friday and pronounced safe.Preliminary investigations have not divulged the cause of the explosion.Some local mine men are inclined to regard it as a physical phenomenon.Barometers in this vicinity have been showing unusually low readings for the last week without the usual atmospheric changes.The families of the dead men find themselves in sore straits.Work has been very slack at the mine.Outside aid will be asked.WORKMAN GETS MILLIONS.Fort William, Ont., March 27\u2014To be raised from the estate of a working man to

due, has returned to St.Petersburg from nis home village in Tobolsk province.The Duma has been engaged for the past, three days in a debate on the Synod budget, and violent attacks have been made on the Procurator-General of the Holy Synod, V.C.Sabler, for countenancing Rasputin.FOUND THE SEAL HERDS.St.John\u2019s, Nfld., March 27.\u2014 The Newfoundland seal fishery prospects which have appeared hitherto very unsatisfactory, took a more hopeful look yesterday when word was received hv wireless that the ships had found the main body of the seal herds among the ice floes and about one-third of the fleet had made a good killing.The total catch thus far reported is 11)0,000 seals, CHINAMAN HANGED.Prince Albert, Sask,, March 27.\u2014 Soo Sam was hanged here this morning for the murder of Mary

SURVIVOR OF PARTY WAS WOMAN DISCOVERED BY WOOD ((UTTERS.Vienna, March 27.\u2014(Special) \u2014 A party of eleven ski ers were overwhelmed by an avalanche near the summit of Schneeberg, near Vienna, yesterday afternoon, and ten persons were killed.Two wood cutters coming down the mountains heard groans from beneath the snow.They dug hastily and discovered a woman, who informed them of the avalanche.After much work they recovered the corpse of the leader of the party, Dr.Hacker.Then they conveyed the woman, Fraulein Blanca Tagleicht, who is the sole survivor of the tragedy, to an hotel.This morning several detachments of soldiers on si.ils proceeded to the spot, and nine bodies, including that of one woman, have now been recovered.It is remarkable that the faces of all the

SUPPORTERS OF EX-PRESIDENT SAY NEW YORK PRIMARIES WERE A FARCE.New Y'ork, March 27.\u2014Yesterday\u2019s state wide Republican National Convention at Chicago resulted in the election of organization candidates in practically every district where there was a contest, according to unofficial returns, fairly complete in many instances, at hand at a late hour last night.Claims that at least 83 of the 90 delegates will be for Taft and not more than 7 for Roosevelt, were made by State Chairman William Barnes, jr., and John W.Hutchinson, director of the Eastern Branch of the National Taft Bureau.Chairman Charles H.Duell, I of the Roosevelt City Committee, declared that the primaries, characterized by \"a complete breakdown of the election machinery,\u201d had been a farce.He asserted that an effort would be made by the Roosevelt committee to secure \"a real primary in this city with a full expression of Republican opinion.\u201d CASE TAKEN EN DELIBERE.Bearing ' ' ' ' In Case of Demers vs.Mayor Hebert.SHOULD COURT DISQUALIFY MR.HEBERT IT HAS POWER TO DECLARE MR.DENAULT ELECTED.Hearing in the case of Abel De mers vs.Mayor Hebert was continued in the Superior Court yesterday afternoon before Mr.Justice Globen.sky.A lengthy legal argument took place on the question of whether or not Mr.Hebert could qualify for Mayor on a property valued at $10, 000, and owned jointly by himself and Mr.Thomas Fortier.Mr.Belanger, attorney for the plaintiff, took the ground that the property belonged to the registered firm of Hebert Ww nc /rrmtaton fcka pfoec, nod (PUS ntilhtr cad rordtoho! u fermod, titHtbr y'sdu::rp SmtU*.VGHTL/f end WHITfS BRIAD 6 (ben by cr.y othtr PétOClSS.PREPARED ON CORRECT CHEMICAL PRINCIPLES .jfvKtvnr 4> ?4 T**a in lh«\t2 JGo U tV«y> m idryjift:» COOK\u2019S FRIEND \u201cThe Baking Powder With a Pedigree\u201d made from pure grape cream of tartar and, containing n alum, ensures healthful and delicious bread, pancakes, pic-crust and other pastry.AJl Grocers Sell It T Vi Water Works.Water Powers.Mining.Patent Solicitor.Surveying.Both Phones.Dr.L.C.Bachand SPECIALIST EYE EAR, NOSE, THROAT, AND \u2019 ELECTRO-THERAPY.At St.Vincent Hospital 9 to 10 a.m.; at 17 Brooks street 12 to 5 p.m.Free consultations for electrical cures from 10 a.m.to 5 P-tn.daily except Sunday.17 Brooks Street C.A.SPENCER §5 St.Francon Xavier St., Montreal, BUYS AND SELLS PINE.\tSPRUCE.HEMLOCK.BIRCH.\tBASSWOOD HISTORY OF COMPTON COUNTY .SToffAflMlTuV?.; gîS|«o,î i\\l wnrk aro offered for sale.Apply DAILY RECORD ; Seamless Hose Is Worth The Money \u2014No Other Kind Can Be For yourself, or your household, only Pen-Angle Hosiery!
