TIE UNIVERSAL idea prevails all over
the country that the coal operators have
no claim to public sympathy for any
loss they may sustain from riots among
their pauper labor. They have been
the means of filling the country with
those that are now troubling them
having imported and encouraged them
TO come, so as to have them on hand to
enable them to degrade the old work
men, who knew the laws and obeyed
them. Like unprincipled gamblers
they took their chances for the sake OF
unholy gains and they seem 10 be play
ing losing game. Why should we pity
themS Having sown to the wind, let
them reap the whirlwind. It is but just
retribution and they deserve no pity in
the hour Of need.-Reeord, Mahanoy
City.

THE CORPORATIONS in the coke regions
who went to so much trouble to i'm.
port cheap contract labor from the
shores of foreign lands during the past
few years, will find, when they figure
up the costs and loss of the great
strike, that they were robbing Peter tc
pay Paul It's the old lesson over
again, but the corporations don't seem
to profit by it. Some day it may
break in on them that it pays a better
dividend to employ intelligent work
ingmen at legitimate wages. In the
meantime the scum of foreign lands il
playing the devil with things, and tht
state is helping to pay for it.

THE TRI-ENNIAL assessment will be
made during next fall by the assessors.
1t is difficult job for some sections OF
the comfy, particularly the upper END, ,
where, two years ago, fair and equit-
able assessment was made of the coal
lands held by corporations. The
corporations appealed, claiming the
assessment as excessive, &c. You are
familiar with the rest. The valuation
was reduced, and coal land held at
$1,000 an acre was reduced to scarcely
nothing wlen compared with assessed
valuations made elsewhere in the
county. With this staring them in the
face the assessors duty is not very
pleasant one.

LONG STRUGGLE AHEAD.

Coke Operators and Employees In the Com
nelIsvilIe Region Preparing for Strike
Involving $4,000 Men.
PITTsBURGH, Jan. 26.-Preparations
are being made by the Knights of Labor
of the Connellsville coke region and
their employers, the coke operators, for
a prolonged and desperate wage strug-
gle. From present indications neither
side will concede sufficient to make an
ahhicable settlement possible. The an
nual convention of the men closed at
Scottdale Saturday night with a discus
sion of the wage question and it was
decided to notify the operators that they
must meet them by February 3, to con-
fer, otherwise strike involving the en-
tire region would be declared on the
10th of February.
The operators declare that the de-
mands of the men are ridiculous. They
claim that the workers should accept
decrease, instead of asking for an in
crease in wages The heavy consumers
of coke are plainly expecting u strike
and are accommodating coke in quanti-
ties away ahead of the necessities of
immediate consumption. A strike in
the coke regions will involve l2, 900 men.
