Sylvester scovel calls attention In a
terse way to one OF the main reasons for
the difficulty that 10 being experienced
in the effort to induce the Falrmont
miners to Join the sympathy strike, when
he says: West Virginia coal minera are
a set apart from all others.
They live closer to their employers. It
is 'Howdy Tom, lend me FIVE until pay
day. and Tom, the employer, lends 1t.
The very fact that the owners have en-
Outraged the permanency of the men
prevents sympathetic strikes in West
Virginia. Each miner who owns a home
near mine and far from towns is in a
sense tied to the soIl.'
While this state OF affairs does not pre-
vail in all the mine districts of West vir-
glnia It does In several and isaImost gen
eral In the particular district referred to.
The IntellIgencer knows of one company
especially in that district which encour-
ages It's employees to own their own
homes by building neat, comfortable cot
tages, surrounded by gardens. the cot
tagea mostly vlne-clad and inviting.
These they sell to the miners on terms Of
easy payment; and in times OF duttness,
when the payments cannot be fully met,
the time is extended. The monthly in
stallment amounts TO very little more
than the monthly rent would be. No
profit over the cost Of the property IS
charged other than a low interest. In a
short time the man owns his own home,
and, in ninety cases out Of a hundred. he
becomes a permanent fixture with a pro-
prietary interest in the community. In
other instances the men build their own
homes, and, where advisable, the COM
pany assists them In various ways.

The free trade predictions that the new
tariff law will not produce sufficient rev.
enue are but repetitions of the same old
prophecies against other protective bills.
II there Is one thing above another that
the free trade party Is proficient in II is
the art Of false prophecy We can not
recall a single one Of It's predictions re-
latiHg to the effects OF important Repub-
llcan policies that ever came true, 1t u
the same party that predicted that the
war would be failure. and after the
paper money period which followed, It
was the same party that predicted that
specie payments could not be resumed,
1t predicted that the Mckinley tin
plate duty would not encourage the es-
Enlistment OF tin plate industry in
this country. and after it did accomplish
that feat, that party charged that the
new factories starting up were only
Campaign bluffs" and that even II they
were being built in good faith they
would fail, for 1t was impossible to
make tin plate in America"
1t predicted that the Mckinley bill
would not produce the necessary reve-
nue., but 1t did. 1t is the same party that
constructed a tariff bill of its own, which
It said was not only going 10 produce
ample revenue but was going to cheaper
living to the people and OF the same time
make good times for labor and the In
dustrIes of this country. which had been
suffering from the evils OF protection"
After three years Of that law labor and
the industries are In position once more
to testify how false this proverblally
false Democratic free trade prophet is
With such record for making prophe-
Giles that never come true, is It any Won
der that the vaporings which are con-
tributing to the general calamity wall OF
the sitver-coated wing of the par
ty. and predicting disaster from the new
tariff, are not disturbing the people very
much?
The public has grown SO used to this
false prophets mutterings that it has
ceased to pay any attention to them. As
a contemporary well says: Why not wait
and see what the new law does with the
revenue before making cocksure that 1t
will diminish them? 1t takes an enor-
nous nerve'to prophecy that any tariff
measure ever dreamed of could be a
worse revenue producer than the Wilson
law has proved itself to be.

II the mine operators generally were
to pursue this policy toward their EN-
ployes, even when forced by the state of
the coal trade TO pay low wages, there
would never be any strikes. The pro-

this question that is causing the heslta-

MIR. Debs' Denial.
The Intelligencer was one OF the papers
that quoted Mr.. Eugene v. Debs as say
ing that he was disappointed and dis
couraged ut the result OF his labors In the
FaIrmont region in his attempt to organ
ize a strike OF all the miners of that re-
gion, and also as severely criticlsIag the
national leaders of the strike for their
management The Chicago Tribune and
Pittsburgh Dispatch published lengthy
interviews with Debs to the same effect.
Since the arrival OF President Ratchford.
of the National Mine Workers Union, in
Fairmont, and his interview with Mr..
Debs. the latter has sent broadcast. over
his signature, denial Of these state
ments and denouncing them as totally
untrue. He even says he never at any
time uttered such sentiments.
This dental appeared in the FalrmoRt
dispatches in yesterdays Intelllgencer.
Now Mr.. Debs has had his memory re-
freshed In a way that he least expected.
His bombastlc denial has been met with
n sworn statement of at least one respon-
slble newspaper man to whom he made
the statement expressive of his dscour-
agement and his contemp. for che att-
tude OF the national strike leaders. More
afIidavits can be secured IL necessary.
The statements made by the writer OF
this article can be verified by
a dozen men, and as TO the
more lengthy detailed bill of COM
plant he filed against Ratchford and
others at the head of the strike, which
was telegraphed to the Chicago Tribune
and the Pittsburgh Dispatch, the affida-
Wit alluded to above appears in the latter
paper specifying the time and circum-
stances and giving the names Of others
who were present when the interview &C.
Cured
The sworn statement Is made by Mr.
John N. Maxwell. STAFF correspondent OF
the Chicago Tribune, one Of the most re-
liable newspaper men in the country.
The interview occurred at Debs' hotel in
Palatlne in the presence OF Mr. Coslett
and Mr.. McKirdy, the latter of the Pitts
burgh Dispatch, and the sentiment OF it
was also telegraphed by Mr.. Sylvester
scovei. of the New York World, and
other newspaper men, as above mention
ed. In concluding his affidavit Mr.. Max
well says:
THE mere fact of the hurried scurry-
ing to West Virginia Of all the leading
labor leaders OF the country shows that
Mr.. Debs had sounded the warning TO all
those leaders vitality interested in the
success OF the strike. Why he should
deny the truth Of the interview now
cannot understand. 1t may be that Mr..
Debs does not wish 10 be put In a POSI-
tlon Of publicly crltlcising many OF his
old-tlme associates, as words look much
stronger in print than when uttered. but
that IA no reason why he should deny the
words he uttered.
When Mr.. McKirdy and myself left
Mr.. Debs we sent out the truthful story
Just as It was printed. In a weeks time
Mr.. Debs will have recovered his mem
DRY and will then perhaps be willing 20
admit the perfect accuracy Of the, Dis
patch report. Anyhow. he cannot truth
fully impugn It,"
In view OF subsequent events Mr.. Max
well can now see why Mr.. Debs denied
the truth Of hls interview. There indeed
