at national headquarters of the Miners
Union are TO the effect that in the
block coal fields of Indiana, where the men
have contract, they will work two
days week until May 1, when they will

cation OF general suspension.
Ii is an open secret in Columbus that
the operators of this region are i'm SYM
pathy with the suspension and hope the
miners Will win. The operators here
desire TO pay the scale proposed by the
miners, but are prevented by certain ope-
rators in tie Pittsburg district who have
been paying lower wages.
Seven hundred men are out at New
Straitsville. These miners are among the
most conservative and intelligent in the
country.

Wilson Bill in Washington.
Bu TIE Assocfnted Press.

WASHINGTON, April 21.-More than 1000
workiDgmen from Philadelphia and New
Jersey marched down Pennsylvania ave.
today tn Metyerotts Hall to empha-
size their protest against the Wilson
tariff bill. Men and women were i'm line
marching four abreast under the Ameri-
flag, and displaying notices opposed to
the Wilson bill.
Gathering in Metzerotts Hall, the COM
mittee delegated to wait upon various
Senators made their reports, and after
preamble reciting the advantages of the
Mckinley tariff and the dangers of the
Wilson bill as viewed by the workmen,
the following resolution was adopted
"That We, the authorized repre-
sentatives of millions of Amer
lean workmen without distinction
Of party, hereby respectfully
demand our representatives in Congress os
the United States that no change shall be
made in existing laws that shall in any way
deprive US OF the capacity To earn the full
amount OF wages to which we
were accustomed during the
years in which there were no
prospective or threatened changes in
tariff laws 10 prevent Us from providing
for our families better homes, better cdu-
cation and more comforts than IN any
other country on the face OF the globe"
A paragraph of grievances against the
Wilson bill are given the first reciting that
should the Wilson bill become law, its
effect will be the depreciation of all values
in the United States 40 percent. or more.

QUIET TODAY.
KeIIey's Army Recovering From The
Excitement Of Yesterday.
Bu The As~eiaicd Press.

OMAHA, April 2i.-The Kelly common
wealers at Weston, Iowa, seemed rest
ing today and the yfrenzied
"Rescuers" from Omaha and Council
Bluffs appeared to have disappeared
completely from view. The wild work OF
yesterday aud last night seemed To have
wearied the crowds. Continued freezing
ing weather also had the effect OF cooling
the hot heads TO a certain extent,
as did the announced determination OF
General Kellyto move his army east across
Iowa by means OF wagons, and make the
trip overland to Washington, and he to-
day received encouraging responses from
the farming classes TO his appeal for as
sistance for this purpose.
The army today found itself with only
enough provisions for another meal. Re-
ports from all towns near here are 10 the
effect that the people have contributed
plenty supplies, but have no means of
getting the stuff 10 the army.
Kelley thinks be will not accept the
proposition for transportation to Kansas
City by water except as last resort as
IL will not land him any nearer to his
desired destination.

STRIKE is ON.

PITTsBURG, Pa, April 21.-The great
coal strike, SO far as this district IS con-
cerned at least, is on in earnest.
At noon today the 6O00 men in the river
district and the $500 in the railroad dis
trict laid down their picks and after re-
ceiving their wages, quietly left the
mines.
Dispatches from the Clearfield district
report that the 1900 men there also
struck, and that the mines are generally
closed.
In the PhiIlipsburg region, east of the
mountains, all the mines are Idle. The
suspension in the Clearheld region will
enforce idleness upon 400 lrainmen on the
Buffalo, Rochester * Pittsburg railroad.
In the Connellsvile region the men are
still at work, but the leaders expect
to have almost the entire force OF
5000 men out on Monday. The leaders
say there is no louger a doubt as TO
the attitude of the men regarding the
national strike. They are largely in favor
of IL and nearly three fourths of them are
expected to lay down their tools.
Should the strike be undertaken to the
extent anticipated the effect upon the
business OF the country will be incalcula-
bly, injurious, as the strike
will enforce the suspension OF many
trades dependent upon the coal industry
may seriously affect the operation of the
railroads OF the country in the States
where the miners will go out.
The miners will strike for the restora-
tion of the Interstate wage
agreement which was aban-
doned during the summer, first
volutarily by small body of miners i'm
the Pittsburg District, thus forcing a
reduction in every competitive district in
the United States.
Many operators in the Pittsbury dis
trict declare that it is impossible to pay
the wages asked by the miners, and say
they are satisfied To permit the mines
TO remain idle. But this does
not represent the sentiment of all the
operators many of whom acknowledge
that the wages demanded could be paid il
all would keep faith and not seek an ad-
vantage. ~

THOUSANDS idle.
Miners in Clearfield District
TO Strike at Noon Today.
Dy The .iss0cidtcd Prcss.

PHILADELPHIA, April 2i.--If all the
miners in what is known as the Cleariield
district OF the bituminous coal region
strike at noon today, there will be 10000
men out OF work in that territory.
Added to these 5000 in the Phillipsburg
district, 1000 I'm the Indiana district, 5000
in the Jefferson district, and about eight
thousand in the Mountain district.
A prominent operator said today: "The
strike is not against reduction In wages,
but simply and solely for the purpose
OF keeping the officers OF the
Miners National Organization in
Office. When we found il necessary to
reduce wages, in order TO keep the men
at work, they accepted the situation
quietly and did not offer objections"
