HANN.A's EMPLoYEs COMPLAIN.
Men Working in His Mines Are Being
 Ill Treated.

ISHPEMING, Mich, Sept. 15.-Rob- ert Askew, president of the Mineral tMine Workers Progressive union, ar rived home today from Chicago, where he had been to make a special plea to Mark Hanna in regard to the unjust treatment being received by employees in the mines owned by the chairman of the Republican central committee.
 For several months Superinte McMasters, who is employed directly, by HannaI to manage his mines in this district, has been discharging members of fthe union on the slightest preteXt. Members of committees who waited upon him to have certain abuses cor rected have been instantly discharged.
 The. condition of the miners and their families is deplorable, and if it were not for the charity of the miners toward each other there would be many cases of absolute want and desti- tuition. Believing something could be done by personal appeal to Hanna MT. Askew was sent to Chicago to lay the case before him. MT Hanna is mention the matter, but to return home and prepare a written statement of all grievances and submit them for his consideration.
 This is regarded by the miners here as a scheme to delay the matter until after the election, as in the meantime they would be expected to remain quiet After November the old order of things would be continued, it is claimed, and for that reason the min CTS will issue an ultimatum that Han tober 1. If he does not the union will notify all, labor organizations in the country of the situation. MT. Askew is also general organizer for the Amer ican Federation of Labor.
