the Appeal -AUaIGnchs from Chattanooga
says: "At a largely meeting of
working people with the federation of
trades, representing 160 trades and callings
in this city, it was unanimously resolved
that the present trouble existing at
Briceville is but the natural outcome
of long and persistent violation of the law
on the part of the mine owners in refusing
to permit the miners to elect weigher to
insure fair weight for coal moved, and also
the un-American attempts to compel EN-
ployes TO sign an agreement not to attili-
ate with any labor organization The
open violation of the laws Of the state and
the open attemptto intimidate men wereboth
brought to the attention of the state au-
thorities and by them ignored and
left unredressed. The governor
was censured for taking armed
force to assist in the work of in~
timidation and opposing the miners.
The meeting further passed resolutions
indorsing the miners and condemning
the authorities and mine owners. Fl. ID.
Schwartz, chairman of ths executive COM
mittee, was sent to Briceville to present
resolutions and state the feeling existing
here. They sent TO the governor petition
asking him to call at the earliest moment a
special session of the legislature to consider

Blaine Quay's Choice.
WASHINGTON, July 19.-Upon his return
from Florida last spring Senator Quay said
N the MORNING NEWS correspondent: Il
shall retire from the craftsmanship Of the
ranublican national committee before the
next national convention meets. l shall
remain a member OF the committee and do
Al, the work eau, but have had all of the
execntiye responsibility that l want. l
1vould have resigned the craftsmanship
Immediately after the last campaign but
for the attacks made on me. l could
NOT retire under fire, and every
time since that l was about to retire | have
been attacked again just as I was about to
get out, but now that 1 have answered my
acousers 80 couolusively in my speech in the
seaate feel 1 can retire with great honor
at the next meeting of the committee,
which will be called in the latter part OF the
summer or early fall to determine where
the next convention shall be held and pre-
pare the call for it.
FAVoRs AN EARLY CONVENTION.
personally am in favor of an early
convenuion-in May, if possible. Gen.
Clarkson and other members of the com
mittee agree with me about this, and
think it will be so called. The discomfort
of the heat with the resulting interference
with calm del beration, is the only reason
for the change"
Apparently, from reports from Philadel-
phia, Senator Quay does not consider the
attack of the Philadelphia independent re-
publicans as sufficiently important to delay
nis retirement, but his retirement will not
deprive him of control of the committee.
He will make Gen. Clarksou or Col. Dudley
his successor, and the three will continue 10
manage the committee.
THE CALL.
They will prepare and issue the call for
the convention Incidentally attacking the
mugwump republicansl, and will make all
tne arrangements for it. They are for Secs
retary Blaine for President IL he gets better,
and will shape the convention preparations
accordingly. If Secretary Blaine cannot
run they will try Gen. Alger, unless Presi-
dent Harrison seems inevitable. Senator
Quay has only gotten one appointment since
hemade his tentative reciprocity agreement
with President Harrison. He is waiting to
see what more President Harrison will do.
