merry, Of the Miners Association, was called
upon by reporter this afternoon and
shown copy Of the "call" for meeting Of
the Panhandle miners, to be held to-day.
He was asked what he knew about 1t and
replied: "We do not know anything about

has not the sanction OF the association, or
any Of lis officers AS near as can learn
the movement Is being engineered by q
few sore heads who are dissatsfed about
something or other, possibly their inability
to live without working"
"Will their threat to decide the Tribunal
award illegal affect the situation on the
Panhandle II carried out?
"No sir, the parties who have called the
meeting are without influence, and any
action taken will not, in my opinion, affect
more than two or three railroad pits where
the miners are not organized, and who
may possibly be induced to strike for an
increase over the award. The statement
that they will attemptto form new dis.
trict Of the Miners Association is too silly
for credence; our laws would prevent any
thing Of that kind. You may Say for me
that l think that it would be decidedly
better taste upon the part Of these malcon-
tents il, instead Of striking against the
Tribunal award, they elected and placed
upon their tipples check.weighman and
by this method secure the full three and
half cents allowed. AS 1t Is now, they
have no check-weighman and, as conse.
quence, do not really get over three cents

HOWEVER friends OF the colored race may

the Civil Rights Act, the decision Of the

above suspicion OF partisan purpose. The

nothing to prevent the passage OF q Civil
RShis Act by any State, though 1t is not
likely that such acts will suddenly become
popular in those States in which the negro
sno' even allowed 10 poll q free ballot.

Some Of the Congressmen regret the de-

and he, throughout the debate, found the

enthusiasms; will make the Republican
