| coal- iea!e1s wished to pat trlcos low, but thl
did not meet the yiaws Of mi"ers. and It ha
been decided to let few more days pasa by be
fore thov we're settled.
After some discussion Of topics interesting
| ong to tho Exchange, Mr. Law said that tl
| E3c1enre ought to adjoura without dis
| cussi11 the question OF
] HOW 70 TREAT THE CGMHCE1sTrC GEsSTLEIEN
! who were at present trying to liz tue price o.
] the work and TO designate 70 employers tue par.
ties who arc to be employed b. them. After al
! ludlug to the trouble mich had recoatlv arson
! he said that The pollco, through the Mayor. In!
| promised to assist in case OF senous trouble
| arlaing. But he urged that tho police were moi
always Oh hand at once when wanted, aud we1e
not az efficient as they ought to be wien they
! d arrive, aud it was necessary for the I;x.
| change to discuss tho best plan Of how to dc.
fend themselves from the mu1detoas attacks oi
those members Of the uuloa.
The Char hoped tnat . full discussion would
be had in the matter.
Mr. Taylor asked it there wore aoy Of tho
members Of the Exchange 1T present employing
UNION C1ep.
Mr. Law did not know Of any so reported un-
less it was Kelly, Morev l. CO. He SAID tina,
there we're ten men Offering to do the work ut
the 1ates proposed By the dealers for every one
who could be employed, and it was for the Ex-
change to docido whethez those men should ba
debArred from wor1inc BY set Of Tuffans.
Mr. johnson in answer TO q qnestion said thas

rate, and found that they worked
JUST ABOUT ~ QUICKLY
as the union men.
air. oeson said that, if the prices had been
SO tied. it bahooyed every naemper Of the Ex-
change to stick honorably to the figures named.
Mr. Hoole aliuded 10 the murderous nas4re Of
tho attacks recently made bv the union men
upon the non-u llon men, and suggested that Q
committee DO appointed to take measures to So
clre tho punishment OF the offenders
The Chair suggested that standing reward
be offered lor the convict Of such offenders.
Dir. HoO|e stated that the enormous Wages
which had formerly been paid to the coal-heavers
had proved o hurt instead Of benefit to them,
az it had caused them to become 6iiatoty work
ets, earning enough in few. days labor to 20 on
spree for the rest Of the week. TIE steyodotes
IN most casea are saloon and boordine-house
keepers whose interest it was to encourage ex-
penslve habits in tas men under their employ.

NOT GO TOO FAR.
He thought tha. in majority Of the casos SO
cents an Lo1r was too H.tIa as the no:k gen.
orally was not lasting. He did nos think tue
union N on wero us black aa they were pante1.
Mr. Law thought lhat II. WIenn was mistaken
in his svmpathy for tao strikers. He did not
see why tue coal-shove1ers should be pnid 81
day when other men vera willing to work for 50.
He had no sympathy With n=D who, ~ waa the
fact, threatened that very morning that when
they caught him nut thew would kill him.
Nj: Wrepn did not think that the coa-dealers
should take advantage OF the necessities Of their
employees. who we're living idle half their time,
and wero, III consequence eatitled to higher !
wages tlau ordinary lauore7s picaed ~ On the !
street. He thought tha: the experiment. OF hir- |
ng outsiders wou ho found to be failure ne3t |
fail. when the necessity for brisk xo11 would be
felt. He was chauploalag tbs union man be- |
cause some members OF the Exchange seemed to |
have 10 soul. |
Mr.. Taylor-WeN, they are also men Who hayo |
40 soul.

It the union meu. lie had one such nln living
