Ohio Idle Miners.

BELLAIRE, o., March 4.-The coal
miners and operators of this subdistrict No.
6, containing Belmont. Harrison and Carroll
counties, will. in all probability, settle the
difference standing between them since the
first of the year. Representatives from all
the mines in the district named will assem-
BILE in Bridgeport next Wednesday, where
the opera tors will meet them to sign an
agreement with that end in view. Between
5000 and 1000 miners are out. Half of
them will go TO work tomorrow. This pro-
portion of the men will represent the pits
where operators have not lost their con-
tracts on account of the long shutdown.
They will work under a seventy-cent scale
until next Wednesday, but if the settlement
goes through as arranged the rate there
after will be 81 cents. The entry and haul
will be Settled by the ending of the Strike.

How to Win Literary Fame.

Donahoes Magazine.
Literary fustian is the order of the day.
Time was that when the brains were out
the man would die, but now it seems it is
only when the intellect is gone that a writer
begins to make money. 1t is better, of
course, never to have had any brains, so
that the accumulative process may begin
right away from the nrSt-reader period.
Here are some of the important questions
which successful writer's are now turning
into copy and ducats: What frame of
mind were you in when YOU conceived your
story of 1.-The Gentleman and the Rat?"
Were you smoking a cigarette or a. clay
pipe when the inspiration came? Was ii
before OF after your attack of the measles?
Did you use snuff at the time, and if So
what snuff? Did you find 1t great strain
on your moral nature TO live up to your
favorite brand? The safe road to literary
fame is to have a capacity for asking or
answering such questions. The scheme is
epoch-making as well as money-mak king
1t is like charity or the gentle rain from
heaven-it is twice blessed. 1t blesseth him
that puts the query and him fourfold who
replies.

TERRE HAUTE, Ind, March 4.-There

more distress and suffering than the out
side public is aware of. In the block coal
field, which is confined TO Clay county
the miners not earning enough money
to pay the barest living expenses. This is
not because wages are low, but because
work is slack. The men do not average
one day a week. The mining scale is 50
cents, cents higher than 1t was a year
ago. Reports received here are to the eff
feet that perhaps one thousand miners haye
left the field in the past three months,
and that many of those who remain have
been forced to call on the authorities for
food for their families. The men In the
bituminous fields have had more work,
fair living. Indeed. In some localities they,
too. have had to ask aid of the authorities.

PITTSBURG, Pa, March A joint con-

of this district will be held here to-mor-

Workers of America will probably be
urged to declare a national strike. This
would affect between $4,000 and 10000
miners. The reductions in this district dur

of the men in Ohio, West Virginia, Indiana
and Illinois, and the miners here believe a
general strike is the only way better
mining rate can be obtained.

PENSION PAYMENTS.
WadswOrth Post Likely to Bring
About n Much Needed Reform.


Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
FRANKLIN, Ind, March 4.-Wadsworth
Post. G. A. r., of this city, is sending out
a letter. to all the posts of the Indiana de-
partment asking cooperation in the State
encamptment to be held at Lafayette look
ing toward the suppression of a great evil
growing out of the present system of pay
ing pensions over the counter at the PEN
sion agency. The post is of opinion that
all pensions should be paid by check
through the mails. The present system has
brought about great abuses On pension
day hundreds of pensioners within q radius
of fifty or sixty miles gather at the office
in Indianapolis; they spend their car fare
and waste two or three days. This many
of them can I'll afford But the worst feat
ure grows out of the weakness of many for
liquor, and the fact that they consequently
become the victims of thugs and thieves.
Not a pension day passes but that the
newspapers OF indianapolis tell of numbers
of pensioners who are robbed or who in
some way are f1eeced of their money. This
means humiliation and disgrace to the ex-
soldiers and want and suffering in THEN
homes. 1t is asserted that those who can
least afford IL the ones who waste
money in going TO the agency, and who are
most easily victimized. while the provident
ones and those who know the value of a
dollar stay at home and for a few cents
get their checks by mail, and that very
promptly. On the next morning after the
last payment at indianapolis the Journal
stated that sixteen eX-sOldierS had been
placed in the Marion county Jail, and stated
that attempts had been made to rob others.
Perhaps the half was not told. Wads-
worth Post believes that pensioners should
receive their money while they are among
their friends, and not in the midst of
thieves ana gamblers who congregate at In
danapoliS on each pension day. The post
hopes to get action through the Indiana
encampment. and the National Encamp-
ment, which will ultimately procure the
needed reform through the government.
