ALTENBERGER ENJOYING HIMSELF

Rev. A. E. Meury this morning visited
Bernard Altenberger at the County Jail and
remained with him quite a while. The muir
derer of Katie Rupp acted more cheerfully
after the visit. Inspector LANCE also called
on A~ltenberger and had a talk with him.
The conversation was repeated by the In
spector to Prosecutor Winfield, but to no
one else. Altenberger devotes q great deal
of his time to reading the Bible and smoking,
and he has frequently assured the keepers
that he believes he will not be convicted
when tried. The prisoner steadfastly re-
fuses to mingle with the other prisoners or
to converse with them.

Some Facts About the Coal Strike.
There are now out of work about
175, 900 miners, in fourteen States and
two territories of this country. Many
of them are on the verge of starvation.
Many railroads, mills and smelling
works have been already seriously
affected by the scarcity of coal. With
in a week the stock of bituminous coal
in sight will be exhausted.
The earnings of the railroads in the
coal carving trade have already been
seriously affected, notably in Pennsyl-
vania-
In a few days, thousands and tens
of thousands of metal workers and
operatives depending on the. various
metal industries will be thrown out
of work for lack OF material. The
carrying powers of the railways, too,
will be seriously affected.
The strike is regarded by many as
the most injurious that this country
has ever undergone. 1t is at least one
of the most far reaching in its effects.
The cause of the strike was the star
walton wages paid to the miners in
Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Ohio.
Illinois, Kentucky and Tennessee.
and the threat to reduce wages to
the same level in other localities.
The price that the men demand is
seventy-five cents per ton uniformly
for the entire country.
at present, bituminous coal is pro-
tected against Canadian competition
by a duty of seventy-iye cents per
on-that is, the present rate of duty
is equal to the ENTIRE WAGES the
men demand, thus affording a dis
elimination in favor of the domestic
mine owners equal to every cent of
wages paid in Canada
The Wilson bill originally placed
bituminous coal on the free list. As
amended by the Senate. it imposes a
duty of forty cents a ton.
