MRS, HoNoRA SULLIVAN.


After two months of idleness, conse-
quent upon the ordering of the present
great strike of miners in this coal field,
step toward settlement has been made.
Mr.. Fawcett Plumb, of the Coal Run
Coal Company, caused a meeting OF the
Streator miners to be called, through the
presiding officers, early in the week, and In
the conference which followed, practically
closed the strike. He began by offering
the men seventy cents per ton until the
strike Is settled, and, upon their refusal to
accept, offered eighty cents, the price paid
last year, if they would agree to arbitrate
within three weeks. This was agreed to,
for although II had been agreed upon at
the Joliet convention that no miners were
to 90 to work for any one shaft that would
offer eighty cents, the agreement had al
ready been broken at several small shafts,
and there was no valid reason advanced as
to why any shaft or company should not ar
bitrate with its men, regardless of the dis
trict. The miners of Mr.. Plumb's shaft
will 90 to work on Monday morning. The
arbitration board meets on Monday and
will have its decision ready by Aug, 9th.
Both Mr.. Plumb and his men had agreed
to abide by the decision of the beard and
In the meantime the men will pay ten
cents per ton to the relief committees

strike has been In progress, the miners OF

40 per cent of such wages, so that yielding
on the part of the miners simply means
starvation, and If they must starve, they are
sensible In electlng TO do II In idleness
rather than by working themselves to
death.
That the miners Ia this controversy are
In the right and the owners and operators
In the wrong, Is settled by the simple fact,
that the miners formally and repeatedly
have made the offer 10 submit the whole
case TO arbitration, agreeing TO resume work
at once and to accept permanently such
wages as the arbitrators, after tai ing into
consideration the present price of coal, the
outlook of the trade and all other circum-
stances, shall agree TO be equitable and
just. Surely nothing can be more fair and
honorable than this,
Standing In this attitude, the appeal of
the miners for outside help in this contest
Is one that certainly ought to come with
irresistible force to every fair minded man
In the community who can claim the pos
session OF little OF the commonest Christ
ian impulse to aid In shielding the help
less against oppression and wrong.

Boston, Oct 7.-The delegates to the
Pau-American congress left this morning
over the Boston & Maine railway for Law
renee and Lowell, where they will spend the
day.
At Lawrence the delegates inspected the
Pacific cotton mills and Russells paper
mills. They evinced deep interest in the
workings. The party started for Lowell at
1880.
The party returned to Boston early this
evening. They visited three concerns in
Lowell and saw 5000 operatives at work.
The day has been the first one of solid bust
Less upon the lines upon and within which
the international congress was projected.
The foreigners in several instances have
placed themselves IN closer relations with
the manufacturing interests they have
visited They have carefully and shrewdly
observed what they bave seen. They have
talked of prices, terms and business methods
with tho heads of establishments visited.
Mexico for instance, indicated interest in
carpets, and Costa Rico has scrutinized
prints with a business purpose.
The party dlned aboard the tram while
returning to Boston from Lowell, aud upon
arrival here were driven to the theatre,
where the evening was spent.

Atchison DIRECTORS satisfied.

BosroN, Oct THE News Bureau says
tonight: Atchlson directors Saturday were
unanimous in their approval of the reorgani-
zation presented by the special committee.
A few details only remain to be perfected.
The plan will not contain any OF Morrison's
scheme nor anything like it, Tor Morrlson's
report was made only for the information of
the parties at work to save the property.
The plan has not been modified save IN tho
direction meeting the generally expressed
desire to have fewer Incomes at Il higher
rate. The first general per cent mortgage
will probably be drawn for less thau $780,
OOO,0 900, with right TO increase for new mile.
age at the rate per mile for single track
and the rate per mile for double track. Tho
income bonds will probably be limited to
SS0,0O0,000 AT per cent. Fixed charges. in
cluding taxes, will by this plan be less than
s., 100000, Instead of as at present about
Sll, 900, coo, and the income bonds will have a
very considerable value at the start and the
prospect of being at par in Il few years, with
fair crops and fair railroad rates.
If in sixty days the plan has not been gem
orally accepted the security holders and
creditors can seek their rights under the
law. But the plan is so fair dnd just and
has been so far unanimously endorsed that
its hearty acceptance By all interests may DO
expected.
