ST. Michael's new rector, Rev. Henry
Ransom, preached his first sermon in his
new charge ye terday morning and created
more favorable impression than he did
when he spoke in the church several
months ago.
In the evening Mr.. Ransom had largo
congregation. His text was from Gala
tians, /, Is and IS. He brought out threo
points-St, Paul's predestinntion, conver.
sion and ministry
Mr.. Ransom said every soul like ST.
Paul's was predestined to be saved. God
wills that no one shall be lost. Yet our
Lord tells us many are called, but few

10 PREVENT STRIKES.
Proposed Uniformity Agreement in
the Pittsburg District.
MAY BRING PERFECT HARMONY.

A Resumption of Work Expected in
AL the Mines This Week as a Re-
suit of the Convention to Be Held
in Columbus on Wednesday.
Pittsburg, Sept. 6.-Expectations are
high in coal mining circles over the
probable resumption of work in the
mines throughout the country. In an
ticipation of a settlement at Columbus
next Wednesday another plan has been
suggested by representative of one
of the largest operators which will be
agitated Immediately after the men
return to work. 1t will be formulated
and submitted to the joint convention
of operators and miners. which it is
proposed to hold next December.
In order to come to an understanding
on all questions at issue separate wage
scales are to be formulated for each
mine. The scale Is to provide for the
rate to be paid for the entire year, and
any special concessions that are to be
made are to be agreed upon by the
miners and operators, and SO specified
in the scale The scale is to be an ad-
junct to the uniformity agreement
which Is expected to be In force. The
proposition will be made by the oper-
ators in the hope of getting all the safe
guards possible against a probable
strike.
1t is well known that there are no
two mines In the entire district where
the conditions are exactly alike. The
uniformity agreement covers the gen.
eral points, but even with it in ex-
istence some operators would be sub
jected to difficulties, while others would
have special advantages. The scale Is
to cover all these points, the primary
object being to avert differences, create
a more friendly feeling between the
employers and employees and restore
perfect harmony throughout the dis
trict.
Philip Stambaugh, cousin of Presi-
dent Mckinley, and a partner of the
firm of Osborne, Saeger & Co.. was in
Pittsburg yesterday afternoon. He
said the men formerly employed in the
Eclipse mine on the Wheeling division
of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad
would be asked to go to work at once
at the G5 cent rate. He was not pre-
pared to say how many men would
go to work.
David Van Eman, manager of the
Pittsburg and Chicago Gas Coal COM
panys mines at Snowden and Cas-
tonville, announced more than week
ago that he would resume work in
his mines this morning. Notices were
served on all the men living in COM
pany houses to vacate. and the ten
day limit expired this morning. None
of the men went to work. Manager
Van Eman could not be seen, but it
Is generally supposed that no effort
will be made to resume until after the
Columbus convention.
There was report at Turtle Creek
yesterday that agents of the Cleve-
land and New York Gas Coal COM
pany were working among the for
eign strikers, endeavoring to get them
to return to work at the 81 cent rate,
on the promise that half of their wages
which are being held back by the
company would be paid on Sept. rs,
and the other half on Oct. 25. Steps
were at once taken to offset this move,
and the campers missionaries report
that none of the men will 60 back to
work until the strike is settled.
