Cause Of the Coal Miners Strike.


Ex-Chief Justice David Martin, Of
Kansas, is reported to have said in an
interview:
"The coal miners of the East are out
on strike to-day because they have
been subjected to heavy reduction in
wages. In 1893 they received from 63
to rs cents a ton for mining coal, the
price paid being regulated or deter
mined by the thickness Of the vein in
which they were operating. Before the
strike, the wages were reduced to 81
or 55 cents or thereabouts. This is
very great reduction. Who gets the
benefit Of it? Not the consumer, as
suredly. Our coal is no cheaper. Yet,
| venture the assertion that not sin
gle man in this country would object
to paying 10 cents more per ton for
coal which he uses, were he convinced
that the extra money went into the
pockets Of the miners. It does not follow
any such course. This money goes to
the operators and the transportation
companies. Yet, the operators COM
plain and will suffer no increase in
wages, notwithstanding the fact that
their profits are greater than they
were four years ago. OF course, they
are in a pool and one man cannot act
unless all consent to do so. The miner
also finds himself in a similar position.
He belongs to an organization and its
head officers order him to strike. He
is compelled to do so, and must obey
their order regardless of his own opin-
ion. The operators are practically in
the same position. No difference what
may be the opinion of some Of them
that the miners are not being paid
enough for the work which they are
doing, they cannot make any cOnces-
siOns until all of their associates con-
sent to do so. The change of the
screens in use by the mine operators
so as to take for themselves more and
more out of the mine run and the ex-
tOrtion of the truck stores are abuses
that also need correction"

mittee should, by its advice and recon-
mendations, save the schools Of the
county much money.
Congressman Lewis, of Washington,
has written Governor Leedy strongly
!ndorsing the effort which is being
made to prevent the Federal courts
from suspending and overriding the
laws Of Kansas. He calls attention to
the fact that section 72O of the revised
statutes of the United States prohibits
Federal Judges from issuing injunc-
tions against legal processes Of the
State. He thinks that Federal Judges
should not have a life term, that they
should be elected by the people Of a
State or Of their district, and that they
should be compelled by statute to fol-
low the State courts construction Of
State laws or State authority.
The Abilene school board has pro
vision in its contract for text books
that either party may cancel the con-
tract by giving thirty days notice. The
contract prices are quite high. For the
first, second, third, fourth and fifth
readers the price is $3.50, while under
the text book law passed by the POpu-
list Legislature the price would be
$1.32. In a recent effort to cancel the
contract and enable the patrons to save
money by aYailing themselves Of the
privileges of the State law, the Repub-
lican members of the board voted no
and prevented action. If the people of
Abilene don't want to be robbed they
should elect other than Republican Off

The COngregationalist, denomina-

President Andrews in the matter Of his
removal from Brown University be-
cause of his silver views. It takes the
position that reasonable liberty should

says "a university whose faculty is
required to be united concerning any
important subject upon which public
opinion is divided is no place for
young man who seeks to be educated
into intellectual independence. Funds
for a university given under such con-
dition would better be withheld. .

The Judge Jackson injunction order
i5 commented on by Senator Tillman as
follows: ut calls imperatively for ac-
tiOn by Congress to limit and define
the power Of the Federal judiciary in
equity cases. Radical action is neces-
sary to preserve the sentiment of local
self-government and restore the liber-
ties Of the people into their own keep
ing. Plutocracy's supple tools obey
their orders with alacrity, but there
will come a day of reckoning, and a
revolution, either at the ballOt-bOx or
by bullets, is inevitable" On the same
subject Congressman Hunter, of Illi-
nois, says that Judge Jackson has
usurped powers that do not belong to
any branch of the Federal government
and that the American peOle will not
sustain such an innovation. Governors
Saddler, Of Nevada, and Jones, Of Ar

ceeding is un-American and that Judge
Jackson should be impeached and re-

Curators May Make Changes at the
State Acknowledgements Made
to Prof. Hitch Studying Polit-
ical Economy in Germany.

WASHINGTON, d. O., July 1.-THE
midsummer quiet affairs in Missouri 1s
likely to be broken mt the called meet
ing Of the board of curators of the
State University. The meeting will be
held at Rolla next Wednesday. All the
members have been notified to be
present, and those who claim to have
specific knowledge of affairs predict q
lively session.
Many points of difference will come
up, it is said, at this meeting for set
Element. AS the board of curators is
at present constituted there are five
new members and four who have
served one or more terms.
One of the questions to be settled is
that relating to the chair of political
economy. Prof. Hitch, the present
incumbent, Ia said to be in Germany
studying there, and one of the points
raised against him lie that he does not
consider the United States a good
enough place to get his economic
IDEAS. 1t is said that Prof. Jas. Alden
Smith, a Missouriarl by birth, who had
trouble in the last campaign with the
Ohio College with which he was then
connected, is to be given the place
now held by Prof. Hitch.
A librarian is also to be selected, and
a new professor named for the depart
ment OF geology. But while the filling
of these places is primarily the work
before the board, there are other
questions likely to be raised. The
most interesting OF these ia that which
relates to the politics of the members
of the faculty.
1t is asserted that out of "a employees
of the University, Sc in the recent
failed to vote democratic
ticket. Because of recent develop
ments it is believed that this question
is to be raised ct the meeting We'd
nesday. If it is there will doubtless
be one of the liveliest meetings in the
history of the board.
Congressman NJ. E. Benton, of the
District is a member of the
board of curators. He will pair ON the
tariff bill and will 60 out to the meet
