The Presidents False Pretenses.

Mr.. Cleveland and his party have had
very much to say about trusts. Accord.
ing to them, trusts are the outgrowth of
protection-the "robber tariff" which
takes from the many TO enrich the few.
But here we find the president openly
using all the power of his great Office
to force the adoption of measure that
will create one of the most stupendous
trusts that has ever existed in this
country. He is urging with all the
power at his command the placing of
coal on the free list. And whyP Be-
cause it will insure nearly monopoly
of the coal industry to his friends who

max, and unless something is speedily
done look TO see the country plunged
into desperate struggle from which
labor Will rise victorious and the Ameri-
can laborer will be once more placed upon
his Just and rightful throne as free man.
Yes, l certainly feel the responsibility
resting upon me in this struggle and it is
but natural that | should have an anxiety
as to what may precede the final result,
which cannot but be in our favor. But
we cannot recede, A recession on our
part would mean the absolute enslave-
ment of the American workingman and
his complete and utter degradation for all
time to come; and | would rather be dead
than live to see or experience such fate.
NO, 1t is impossible to think Of receding.
CHANCE FOR A SETTLEMENT
''Yes, do believe there is chance TO
bring about a settlement of the trouble
before the final struggle is on. think
there is probability that the trouble
may be averted. 1t rests solely with
others than us TO bring it about, however,
One thing is certain, the general man
ayers must and shall succumb.n -
"a million men stand ready to quit
work and unite in the struggle for justice
and liberty whenever called upon to do
so. do not believe that it will be neces-
sary to call upon them, as | am inclined
to believe that a settlement will be eff
fected within few days. We stand
ready to meet the managers and want to
meet them. We will meet Mr.. Pullman
and see that a satisfactory settlement
between his men and he is brought about,
of course, on terms acceptable TO the Pull
man employees"
President Debs said further that, in
company with Vice President Howard
and Director William Burns, who have
been selected to act for the board, he will
call upon Mayor Hopkins, at the latters
request, at Il o'clock tomorrow, when it
is expected to meet with the council COM
mittee and i'll all probability with repre-
sentatives from the General Managers
Association. As yet the union officials
thing but one called in order to meet the
council committee. and not until the man
ayers are present will any other view Of

A RELIEF FUND SCANDAL.
The Miners of the Massillon District
Want an InYaRtiRntion.

Massillon, O., July 4-The miners of
this district have been thrown into q
state bordering on panic by develop
ments in connection with the relief work
in the last few days The relief commit
tee has been taking care of about eighty
families and it has been only through the
most strenuous efforts that their charges
have been kept from actual suffer
ing. Last week the officers of
the committee resigned because individ-
uals had been collecting funds and sup
plies in the name of the committee and
deVotlng the proceeds to their own use.
Now the rank and file are after Secretary
James Brown and Treasurer Edward
Miller, accusing them of having failed TO
give an account of their stewardship. A
meeting was called for last night, but
brown refused 10 answer question.
Miller was not present, and was reported
to be in Pennsylvania. A committee was
appointed, which issued the following
statement:
We are not satisfied with the manner In
which the business Of the relief committee
has been carried on. y great deal has been
donated and we have seen very little. We
we nave failed to get it. We publicly call on
these men who have been very ready to de
Eounce others, TO give an account OF their
ste ewardshIp.
Charges and counter-Charges are being
made, ana sensational developments may
follow. Since the resignation of the re
lief committee there has been no provision
to prevent the needy ones from suffering,
and some are on the verge of starvation.

situation to-day is distinctly better than
it was yesterday. The Northwestern
