STARVING ILLINOIS MINERS.
Case of the Spring Valley Men Explained
and Aid Appealed For.

Case of the Spring Valley Men Explained
and Aid Appealed For.
CHICAGO, Sept. Am appeal to the pub
lie through the press is made by Henry ID.
Lloyd, formerly on the editorial staff of
one of the Chicago morning papers. Mr..
Lloyd hasmade personal investigation on
his own account of the condition of the
Illinois miners. He says: There is great
or need than ever of help for the starving
men, women and children of Spring Valley
in this State. There are thousands of suf-
ferers there from want of food, clothing,
medicine and sympathy. Most of these
sufferers are children, and most of the chill
dren ar( little ones. have just returned
from Spring Valley. There in this great and
prosperous State, and in the midst of har-
vest-laden farms and rich cities. the visitor
of the hight of health, here shines in the
eyes of the men and women the phosphores-
cenee of dying strength, and the children,
fatally weakened by want, are dying of
diphtheria; There are, families where
adults and children, grievOusly sick, are
without medical attendance andmedicines,
because there Is no money to pay for them.
THE men at Spring Valley are not strik-
ers They did not lose their work by
striking. 1t was taken away from them.
They are the victims of two iock-outs. Last
Christmas about 1000 of them were shut
out of work by an order closing part of the
mine Their comrades, knowing that the
men and their families thus turned into un-
expected idleness in the dead of winter
would starve, divided their own work with
them. For the rest of the winter every
miner laid off one day in three in order to
give part work to all. This lasted into
April Then the community. exhausted by
families on the earnings of two men, re-
ceived its final blow. April 90, without pre-
vious notice of any kind, all the miners
were told to take away their tools and
leave the mines, which were closed.
I'm an afternoon their livelihood was
taken from them. They had had no
thought or plan of striking They were
not even given the chance of working for
lower wages. From the day they received
this notice to quit until w. l.. Scott of
Erie, made his recent offer to them of q re-
duction of wages from 80 cents a ton to the
equivalent of about 50 cents or less, coupled
with the demand that they give up their
labor unions, these men have been waiting
in involuntary idleness to learn what was
to be their fate. Before the lockout they
earned on the average, according to their
own figures, about $50 month; according
to figures given me by an official of the
company they earned about S43 month.
If these were their earnings at 90 cents n
ton what would they be at % cents toni
The settlement of the strikes elsewhere in
the coal region has caused the public to
slacken in their contributions of relief. in
the mistaken belief that the Spring Valley
difficulty was included in the agreement.
This is an error. The men are still out of
work, and the situation at Spring Valley ia
worse than it has been elsewhere
