OPINION OF PRESIDENT DoLAN,
Did Not Favor q Strike and Looks to tn,
Future with Dread.

Did Not Favor Strike and Looks to the
Future with Dread.
The board has been considering the
question Cor some time. During the
past two weeks NJ. D. Ratchford, the
national president, has been in the Pitts
burg district and has made a report to
the board. Patrick Dolan, president Of
the Fittsburg district, said last night
that the board had decided to declare
a strike in Ohio, Pennsylvania and
West Virginia. Il have advised against
a strike ard can say that am not in
favor of it," said President Dolan last
night. But since the executive board
has taken the matter out of our bands
1 have come to the conclusion that the
miners of the Pittsburg district might
just as well 90 down making a struggle
for what is due them as starving to
death. The men in this district have
become hardened to hunger and suffer-
ing, and are in as good a condition to
strike now as they ever were.
IF they can succeed in cutting off
the supply for the lake trade when it
opens, if for short time only, there are
good prospects of winning out. On the
face of it. it is unfair to try to grind
the miners down to the 54-cent rate
when the operators offered them 60 cents
the first of the year. In the coming
battle I believe we will have the SYM
pathy of many Of the smaller operators.
Just as sure as the operators having
control Of the docks carry out their
plans. so sure will the sheriff have bus
mess with the smaller ones. Their prop-
erty will be rendered valueless and
their business gone. unless they come to
the terms OF the big operators.
Il think we will be in shape to bring
out the men employed by nearly every
coal company in the lake front COM
bination. I look upon the near future
with dread. and when the strike is once
started no one knows what the results
will be-"

Pittsburg. May 28.-The national ex-
ecutive board Of the United Mine Work.
ers Of America has decided to order
general strike throughout Pennsyl-
vaLia, Ohio and Virginia to secure tie
69-cent rate for mining. The order is
expected to be in the hands of the work.
men within a very few days. More than
$4,000 miners will be affected by the or
der, and a desperate struggle between
the men and operators will result.
The Post says Of the threatened
strike: This year the conditions in the
lake market are entirely different from
what they were in former years. Time
was when the smaller operators could
market coal on the lake front, but this
year all has been changed. Now they
cannot dispose Of any coal unless 1t goes
through the hands of the thirteen ccal
companies.
Companies Have All the Dockage.
While the miners in the Pittsburg dis
trict have been battling against a re-
duction to "a cents a ton the operators
have been quietly at work on the lake
fronts. Every foot of dockage is now
in the hands of one of the thirteen
companies. With coal mined at "a cents
they would be in virtual control of the
market, and need not fear inroads by
any of the smaller operators. The COM
panies having succeeded in getting con-
troll of the docks are Mark Hanna &
Co.. Ellsworth Coal company, Cuddy,
Miller & company, the w. L. Scott
mines. Ohio and Pennsylvania Coal
company, Moon Run Coal company,
Osborn, Saeger & Co.. Morgan. Moore
& Balm, Pickands, Mather & Co., w. P.
Rend, Robbins Coal company, Pittsburg
ana Chicago Coal company, and the
New Yorkand Cleveland Gas CoaSCo. It is
claimed by che miners officials that
trade has been solicited at the 54-cent
trade. The coal comes from Ohio, Penn
sylvania and West Virginia.
Action of the Miners Convention.
The Pittsburg district was the cause
of much contention in the national con-
vention of the miners held in Columbus.
o., last January. During the month Of
December preceding the operators in
this district offered the miners go cents
ton during the months of January and
February, and Is cents the following
months. The local miners refused to
accept the offer. The question was acted
on by the national convention, and
taken entirely out of the hands Of the
Pittsburg district officials. 1t was re-
ferred to the executive board, and they
were given power to act. They were
instructed to make a demand for 60
cents at time they thought proper.

Sugar Trade Acquitted.
Washington, May 2s. Certainly I
am satisfied with the verdict" said
Henry o. Havemeyer. to a reporter a
few minutes after the jury had rem
dered verdict Of not guilty yesterday.
The verdict" he continued, ought to
&c satisfactory to every decent man in
this and every other community" That
was the only expression the president
Of the American Sugar Refining COM
pany would make upon the result Of
his trial. which had been in progress for
three days before Judge Bradley. The
verdict was the elimination of a long
legal battle which began three years
ago. Havemeyer declined as a witness
fefore the senate sugar investigating
committee to furnish the committee with
data as to the political contributions
made by the company Of which he is
president to the local and state cam
paigns of 1892 and 1893. Broker Chap
man. around whom the preliminary bat
tie waged, was found guilty and is now
serving a thirty-day sentence in the
District Jail.
The conclusion Of the trial was alb
rupt. The defense produced no witnesses
When the government rested its case
Wednesday the defense moved that the
court instruct the jury to order an ac-
quittal on six grounds. the principal Of
which were that the committee did not
have jurisdiction, and that the question
asked was not pertinent. Judge Brad
ley declined to rule on the main question
as to the Jurisdiction of the senate COM
mittee. He said the questions involved
in that proposition were of such grave
importance that he would not rule on
that point without further and more
careful examination.
But he held that it was unnecessary
to rule on the main contention. Practi-
cally he sustained the motion upon the
simple ground that the question calling
for data as to state and local contribu-
tions) demanded information not with
In the knowledge Of the witness, which
he had testified he had no personal
Knowledge Of and which, If given at all,
must have been procured from books,
and of which the books themselves were
the best testimony. Although the YER
dict OF mot guilty" was given by the
jury 1t was verdict returned under the
courts direction, and amounted practi-
cally to the Judge throwing the case out
of court

cover force similar in number to that
now employed in all three offices and
the salaries would be much larger, owing
to the material difference in compensa-
