Sstonished at the great number of tele-
grams received from operators requesting
permission to operate their mines by paying
the price demanded by the miners. These
requests could not be granted for the rea-
son that to do so would be defeating the
very object which the strike is intended 10
accomplish.
Tho Ohio operators Will be governed IN
their course by the action of the Pittsburg
operators. If the latter agree TO an ad-
vance in the price the Ohio operators VIII
not object, but will readily pay the ad-
vance. AS q matter of fact, ii is under
stood that they would rather pay a higher
price and continue the operation of their
mines. The regular meeting OF the OHIO
Coal Association will be held in Detroit to-
morrow, but it is hardly probable that any
action will be taken in reference to the
strike further than has already been de-
cided upon, and that is to await develop
ments in the Pittsburg district.
A prominent Ohio operator stated last
evening that in his opinion the strike would
prove a fiat failure. Not that he wished ii
entire Pittsburg district not repre-
sented at the meeting held in Pittsburg on
Saturday He did not believe all the mines
in that district would strike, and unless
they do ii cannot be expected that the OBJ
jcct for which the strike mas been ordered
will be accomplished.
The miners throughout Ohio generally OBJ
served Monday as a holiday, and II cannot
be determined until tomorrow 10 what eX-
tent the order for suspension will be ob-
served 1t is generally conceded, however
that the strike will be enforced in this

MILWAUKEE, July 5.-The National

the National Educational Association began
its first session here this morning, most
of the members being present. The mora

including most of the principal ones in the
country. From this report it appeared that
one-half of l per cent. of the scholastic
population or 10 per cent of the number
entering graduated from the high schools.
With few exceptions the schools are in
public favor. Many have well-selected IL
braries, while others are permitted TO use
public libraries furnished by the city or
State. Fifty per cent. have a regular
course in physical training. The North and

opposite. There is a growing sentiment in
favor of separation. The afternoon session

with President RatchfOrd.
COLUMBUS, o., July 5.-President Ratch-
ford, of the United Mine Workers, spent
the day at headquarters, but not many
reports were received from the various min
ing districts throughout the country as to
the progress of the strike President Ratch-
ford said it would require several days to
receive full information on this point as
the district presidents would necessarily
have to have time to communicate with
the numerous locals before reporting
definitely to national headquarters as to
the completeness of the suspension. Mon
day being observed in many places as a
national holiday will naturally retard the
reports to some extent. Before the end of
the present week, however, the national
officers will have the information at hand
as to the exact situation at all the mines in
the country If there should be any mines
in operation the officials will know their
location, the number of men employed and
whether or not they are members of the
miners organization. The information
which the national officers have at hand is
of a general nature and is to the effect
that miners have generally suspended work
and the strike promises to be a success.
The success of the whole movement seems
to devolve upon the men in the Pittsburg
sdistrict and. judging from the latest advices
'@eceived from the field, the miners there
propose to do their part. So far as can be
learned the operators in both the Pittsburg
and Ohio districts do not intend TO put
forth any effort 10 start their mines, but
have concluded to quietly close down and
await developments AT least. IL will re-
quire several days for the operators to de-
termine upon what course to pursue
President Ratchford said: THE success
of the movement naturally depends upon
the unanmity with which the miners re-
spond. We are ready and willing 10 lead
the movement but the efforts Of the miners
themselves Is the real force and we cannot
fail to succeed If they play their part"
President Ratchford said he had been

BRAZIL, Ind, July 5-The miners mass
meeting held here to-day was the largest
ever held in the county. The large room in
the courthouse was inadequate to hold the
throng of toilers and the meeting was held
on the lawn surrounding the building. The
operators requested the miners to send a
committee to meet an operators commit
tee before they took action on the suspen-
sion. This was done, and the operators
asked that the miners continue work ac-
cording to their contract Their overtures,
however, were repulsed, as a suspension
was voted without a dissenting voice. A
committee was selected to keep watch on
the mines to see that no men went to work.
The miners working in the mines that sup
ply the seWer-pipe plants with coal We're
ordered out, and even men in small slopes
were ordered to stop work. This will prac-
ticaIly close down every industry in the
city, as the supply of coal now on hand
is quite low and indications are that the
strike will be the hardest-fought labor bat
tie even known in this locality, majority
of the miners begin the struggle penniless
and are determined to win. Mass meetings
will be held each Saturday to discuss the
progress of the strike.

In the sheIburn District.

Special to the indianapolis Journal.
SHELBURN, Ind, July 5.-The miners
at Alum Cave, Hymera, Star City, Jackson
Hill, Shelburn and Curryville are some
what divided in regard to what action they
will take in the present strike. The above
places are all unorganzed. Already the
official bulletin from the National Mine
Workers Association, state board and dis
trict board, have been forwarded to all Of
these miners urging concert of action
among the unorganized miners and the
forming of local committees to further the
advance in the present scale of wages. 1t
is reported that Linton Will comply with
the appeal and quit work. The Hymera
plant will be disposed of at sherims sale
in a short time. From information gathered
from the five mining camps around here
a majority of the miners favor a suspen-
sion of work until the present difficulty is
settled. While the miners are still at work,
should a committee wait on them and re-
quest them to quit the probabilities are the
request would be compiled with. The min
claim they might as well be idle as
work all the time and run deeper in debt,
which has been ,A4e case the past year.
They also say the present scale of wages is
inadequate to keep soul and body together
and the merchants are afraid to carry them
from one pay to another.

SENATE PROCEEDINGS.
Stamp Tax Amendment Agreed To
No Tariff Investigation.


WASHINGTON, July 5-Senator Allison,
in charge of the tariff bill, announced short
ly before the adjournment of the Senate
tonight that, as no agreement had been
reached for final vote on the tariff bill,
he would ask the Senate to remain in ses-
sion tomorrow night at least until the
bill was reported from the committee of the
whole to the Senate. This promises a test
of endurance, unless the opposition to the
bill gives way. Mr.. Allison's statement
was after another further effort to have a
time fixed for the vote. In some respects
the Senate made good progress to-day, dis
posing of two important ndments-that
placing a stamp tax be- greed to with
little or no opposition, ana without the
formality of a vote, while the Spooner
amendment proposing a tariff investigation
was withdrawn after protracted struggle.
The stamp amendment as agreed on fixes
the following rates on bonds etc:
Bonds, debentures or certificates of in
debtedness issued after Sept. To- 1897, by any
association, company or corporation, on
each 500 of face value or fraction thereof
cents; and on each original issue whether
an organization or reorganization of certifi-
Gates of stock by any such associat ton,
company or corporation, on each 500 of
face value or fraction thereof, cents; and
on all transfers of shares or certificates of
stock in any association, company or cor
poration. on each $l00 of face value or frac-
tion thereof, cents"
Exemptions from the stamp act are
made in the case of state. county and muni-
cipal bonds and the stocks or bonds of CO.
operative building associations.

from individual senator's were voted on

At lockwood, Dayton and other points the

leaders, one of whom to-day said that it
was impossible to tell what they were going
to do. They are very quiet and not

TERRE HAUTE, Ind, July 5.-The strike
of coal miners in Indiana was general to
day. While the large majority of the men
has gone out, many are working in scat
tered districts. The Sullivan and Vermil-
lion fields are at work on small capacity,
but the operators as we'll as the officials of
the miners organization expect that the
action of the block coal miners, 2,300 strong,
in deciding to strike, will stampede the bi-
luminous miners, who are now inclined to
work. The block coal miners, like the pi-
luminous miners of the two counties named,
are not members of the miners organiza-
ton, but the same motive actuates both
fields, although the price of mining is diff
ferent. The operators claim to be not
much concerned as to what the men do.
One of the largest operators in the Vermil-
lion county district sent word to his super
intendent to tell the men that it was a
matter of utter Indifference to him whether
the men struck or continued at work.
The action of the Grape Creek, Danville
Qll.) district, by which it was decided to
continue at work, has a particular bearing
on the northern and central Indiana fields,
where coal is sold in competition with
Grape Creek coal. President knight, of the
miners organization, says:
Northern and central Indiana are pre-
pared to stay out as long as necessary to
secure the price they are fighting for, but
they expect the miners of eastern Illinois
to assist them. In their meetings they have
decided that if they cannot get the aid of
the eastern Illinois miners they will
turn to work at 70 cents a ton if necessary.
The time is past when the Indiana miners
will strike for the simple purpose of giving
work to the miners of eastern Illinois.
1t is reported here tonight that all the
miners of Parke county have gone out,
nearly one thousand men, who We're not
generally members of the miners organiza-
ton. notice has been posted by the
Parke County Coal Company OF a reduction
from 81 to AT cents a ton for pick mining,
to take effect to-day.
