A Resolution Passed by the Directors or.

n the Hands OF state Onicers
for the Last Pour Years

new YORK, Aug 23.-Col. A. 3 Col
var, wlso Is general counsel for the
Tennessee Coal and Iron Co.. Is at the
Fifth Avenue hotel lie said he was
not In New York to confer with Thos.
c. Plat, president Of the company. re.
pardirg the convict labor troubles in
Tennesseenput was on his way to Dos
ton OF legal business.
"Tpcrc Is no particular reason why
shout see Mr.. Platt on the subject of
the 4 n nessec uprising" said Col. Col
var, kyhc officials of the Tennessee
l<va; ~ " Hc& IN, Ms. Plat included,
Afr 81 one mind IN that matter. and the
company is certainly not in any way
responsible for this disgraceful condi-
ton of affairs in the state.
"A resolution passed by the board of
directors, freely Offering to surrender
the convict lease, has been in the hands
Of the state officials foe over four years,
and the company cNacts no conditions
in making the surrender.
The Tennessee Coal and Iron Co.
will renew its offer to surrender its
lease. and it will probably insist that
its offer be accepted. and the legisla.
turc will then have to determine
whether it shall again endangcr
the financial reputation Of the state by
Undertaking penitentiary enterprises
which will entirely remove convict
labor from the contract system, or
whether it shall endangcr the reputa-
tion Of the state as an orderly and
peaceable community and ALLEVIATE the
anti.convict-labor voters by looking
about for another company that is will
ing 70 pay the state for the labor of the
couvicts
"One thing is certain, that when the
Tennessee Coal and Iron Co. once gives
up It's lease it will never again employ
convict labor One of the chief reasons
which first induced the company TO
take up the system was the great
chance which il seemed to present for
overcoming strikes. For some years
after we began the convict labor sys-
TEN we found that we were right in
calculating that free laborers would be
loath TO enter upon strikes when they
saw that the company was amply pro-
vidcd with convict la Dor, and as lsam
one who does not approve of the con-
vict system. | don't mind saying that
for many years the company found this
an effective club to bc held over the
heads of the free laborers But the
c'amorings OF the people for the past
few years. combined with the recent
disgraccful events, have disguised the
company with the whole business, and
we shall all be glad when we are well
ont of il"

The situation is unchanged, but the
trouble is far from over. Some of the
most dcspcrete miners, who have not
been captured, have told some of their
friends that they would have revenge.
Their method of fighting is cowarlly,
and whenever they are charged they
always retreat, although in practically
imprcgnable positions. The main dag
