THAT TERRIBLE DE ARMI11.

Il Appears That He Has Always Granted what
the Miners Arc Striking For.
PrrrsBURG, July 16.-One Of tho most sur
prising things about the big strike Of miners
now on, and which has its storm centre in the
Pittsburgd district, is the bitter feeling OF hostility
displayed by both sides engaged in the struggle
toward William p. De Armitt, President of tho
New York and Cleveland Gas Coal Company.
and the attempt to throw all the blame for the
present condition OF things in the mining indus
try upon him. This strong antagonism to Mr..
De Armitt appears all the moro strange and un-
accountable on the part of the miners when tho
fact is considered that De Armitt stands, and
has stood for years, for all the coal diggers have
been and are contendingf for.
President De Armitt has no obnoxious COM
pany, or "pluck-me." stores. exacts no exces-
sive rents from the miners for their houses,
pays the wages Of his minors In cash every two
weeks. and those wages are larger than else
where; uses honest weights and screens. and 10,
in fact, the only coal operator in the Pittsburg
district who meets every requirement demand.
cd by the miners in tho way Of fair and honest
treatment. and yet they are and have been
fighting him as no other operator In this or any
other district is fought. At least, their leaders
are doing II. In seeking to overthrow De Armitt
these leaders stand in tho peculiar position Of
warning upon the very principles advocated by
them and the mon they represent, and which
they claim to be fighting for.
When u comparison Is made between the CON-
dition of the De Armitt miners and those belong
ing to the United Mine Workers, tho unpreju-
diced observer must be impressed. Tho De
Armitt miners have work tho year around at
good wages, and get all their pay in cash. Most
OF them are Americans. They live In good.
comfortable houses. the majority of them own
Ing their own homes. Their children are woll
clad In winter and summer and attend day and
Sunday school, and they arc thrifty, sober, and
industrious. many Of them keeping a COW and
working a truck garden.
of the men rent houses from the company, pay
ing a monthly rental for them of but SSH.
while other companies charge their miners So.
81. and SO n month rent for greatly inferior
houses.
On the other hand, tho condition of most of
the miners working for other operators In the
district Is one OF chronic poverty and suffering.
They live amid squalid surroundings, with
scarce enough for themselves and their wives
md children to eat half the time; their earnings
arc scant, many OF them making but threo and
four dollars a week, and even this pittance is
taken from them by the company store. In
fact, the latter gets about all these miners are
able to make whenever they are DO fortunate as
to have work.
