THERE MUST BE A WAY.

The much talked of arbitration of the
coal miners strike in Pennsylvania and
West Virginia seems to have been a
fiat failure. Nothing more is heard of
it. In fact at the time of the meeting
between the labor commissioners and
the mine operators a number of the lat
ter took especial pains to make the
public understand that the conference
had no relation to the pending trou-
BILE.
They seem to have assembled for the
sole purpose of considering their own
interest, without regard to the inter-
ests of their employees. The labor COM
missioners went home and the proposed
arbitration was at an end. Neither side
to the controversy seemed disappointed
at the result and both settled down to
fight it out.
The miners in a quiet, peaceabIe way
seemed to be getting the best of the
contest until the courts concluded to
take a hand. Since the strikers have
been forbidden to pursue the methods
of carrying on the contest which they
adopted at the outset there have been
two attempts to wreck coal trains on
the Wheeling railroad
President Ratchford of the mine
workers union said yesterday in an in
terview that on account of the injunc-
tions which had been issued it had be-
come necessary for the strikers to
change their tactics, but he carefully
avoided saying what the change would
be.
Apparently as the result of an en-
HANGED feeling of security, in conse-
quence of the assistance rendered them
by the judiciary, the operators now talk
of gatling guns and Pinkerton men.
That the present situation will lead
ultimately to bloodshed, riot and de-
struction of property, such as are usu-
ally attendant upon strikes of consid-
cradle magnitude, now seems newt
able. When these phases arise the
troops will be called out and that will
end it. Who will be to blame for all
this? Is it not the government more
than anybody else?
If the government must and will in
terfere in controversies of this charac-
ter through the judiciary and must and
will settle them finally through the
military, why shouldn't it settle such
contests in the beginning and save the
great financial loss suffered by both
parties and the country at large, as well
as the bloodshed and destruction of
property which frequently follows?

CLOCKS FOR CHICAGO.
Plans for Handsome Towers at the
Street Intersections

Chicago, Aug. 20.-Chicago street cor
ners are to be made objects of useful
ness and beauty by handsome tower
clocks, supplied with the official ba-
rometer, thermometer and forecast, if
the plans of the United States Time
and Weather Service company and the
Postal Telegraph company are carried
out.
1t is proposed to introduce an ordi-
nance into the city council within the
next few weeks asking for the grant
of space and donating the service free
of charge.
Promoters of the system are ready to
order the manufacture of 100 of the
towers, with their complement, and
have them located at convenient inter-
walls. The scheme is thoroughly Amer
lean and has been tried with marked
success in several of the smaller towns
of the state.
Neither of the companies interested
expect any difficulty in securing the
permits, owing to the advantage to be
gained by residents, and just as soon
as the grant is allowed, work will be
pushed to have the towers in place by
next spring.
and weather indications will be Is feet
high. 1t will be made of cast iron, of
ornamental design. The top will be sur
mounted by weather vane, showing
the points of the compass and time
ball. This will drop precisely at noon
when the correct time will be checked.
The clock has dial 16 inches in diam
eter and can be distinguished at a con-
siderable distance. An advertising fea-
ture is part of the plan.
In the four corners of the structure
space will be reserved for barometers
and thermometers, which will be first
tested for accuracy by the United
States weather bureau. Topographic
instruments will be placed in a space
is by inches for the official forecast,
which will be forwarded from Wash

500 ARMOR PLATE.
j. a. Carpenter Says he Can Make it
for That Price

Reading, Pa, Aug. 20.-J. H. Carpen-
ter, founder of the Carpenter Steel
Works, this city, of which he was for
merly general manager, has prepared
statement showing that steel ar1nor
plate can be furnished to the govern
ment at trifling figure compared with
what is now being paid.
Mr.. Carpenter is a well known steel
expert and inventor and was formerly
in the United States navy. The Car
penter Steel Works, from which Mr.
Carpenter has retired have up to this
time furnished the government with
nearly $1,000, 900 worth of projectiles
and 100000 order is now being filed
His price is so far below the govern
ment limits of $500 ton that the Beth
lehem and Carnegie companies say
they cannot meet with their harveyized
nickel steel plates, as to occasion the
armor plate board much surprise.
Mr.. Carpenter claims that by new
pneumatic processes steel of the best
conditions can be uniformly made and
much waste avoided. A plant can be
built for less than half the money and
the steel can be made and cast in a
quarter of the time now required. Ex-
pertS in steel and government inSpec-
tors of manufacture seem satisfied of
the value of the process and his abili-
ty to perform his promises. His estf-
mates of cost have been compared with
the cost sheets forwarded to congress-
by the examining board and are found
to agree except where work is done.
Originally Mr.. Carpenters plans were
to organize and equip the works him
SELF but now he concludes to give the
option to the government If it de-
clines, he says he will organize his own
company and sell the armor plate at
$3.50 per ton, allowing $50 for profit and
contingencies.
The board has written him that it
will be ready to consider his PROMO
sition in a few days.
