Our news from Pennsylvania indicates a re-
markabe state of affairs among the mining
population of the Keystone State. AS it
stands that mischievous enactment, the Eight
Hour law, is cover and pretext for the viola
ton of all law, for the Inauguration of govern
ment by the mob and for the most outrageous
interferences with personal liberty. Miners
want to work eight hours day and have the
right to do so, but they want to compel their
employers to pay them more for this labor
than the employers think it is worth. and the
employers refuse. Here is difficulty that the
miners fancy they will remedy by refusing to
work altogether, and they strike. But, not
satisfied with appealing to this costly remedy
TO right their grievances, they go further, and
endeavor to force the remedy on others, and
are just now engaged in using intimidation to
prevent the working of all mines in which men
labor ten hours day. They have asserted
their authority thus far with little dispute over
great many mines, and seem to be lords of
the ascendant. Governor Geary is not so fast
to suppress this violence as he was to tell Con-
gress how many men were ready to sustain it
against the President. All this disorganization
of labor in one of the great industries of
State results from that crazy bid for votes
at the expense of all the interests of people,
the Eight Hour law. Doubtless the Legislators
who made that law expected the grateful
remembrance in the next election of the eman
cipated laborers. We hope Aey will not be
forgotten by the immensely greater number of
poor men who thus have new burdens laid upon
them through the increased price of coal and
other results of the strike
