Why They Struck,

From the pen OF Sylvester seovel the New
York Worlds special correspondent
DnLoNvALE, O.-For the past year
the miners of this district have had
neither work nor wages sufficient to
support life in decency. All connected
with the industry know it. Many are
honest and admit it. This place is not
poverty stricken, as most of the grimy
mining towns in Ohio are. In fact,
from the 1897 miner S point of view, it
is fairly prosperous. Yet honest inves
tigation plainly proves that English
speaking men TO keep out of debt or
even to keep alive must eat scanty. poor
food and occupy scantier, poorer quar-
tiers.
No wonder, then. the miners of
DILLON No. g. read, unmoved the
company's invitation to return to work
even under the protecting wing of a
large number of unnecessary United
States marshals.
One steady eyed, earnest miner said
to me: why should we return to
work and undercut the striker Pitts
burg men would then starve on De
Armit "a cent rate while we starved
on nine cents less. It's only little hog
meat and -four we get now at 81 cents a
ton. God only knows what it will be at
As cents. with five foot vein of coal
and three days work a week. 1t would
be sheer starvation without outside
help. 1t is bad enough now. The
operators themselves frankly admit that
at the tonnage mined even the present
rate. 81 cents. IS too low. -
A well informed company official
acknowledged: mo. l can't under
stand how the miners live. -
He had just found the books shovel a

The Van Buren press., 1897-07-24


Reports from different sections show
that the rains of this week were general
in this portion of the state and prospects
for good crop are very bright. Some
of the corn was too far advanced to be
much benefited by the rain, but it, as
a rule, would have made fair crop
anyway. Late corn and cotton have
been greatly benefited.
Davis Teehee, a Cherokee, was
arrested by Marshal Merrill Wednes-
day for having imbibed too much fire
water. - When searched no less than
eight pints of bottled ''barbed WIRE
was found on him, which he no doubt
expected to dispose of on his native
heath. He was committed to the
cooler to lay out his fine.

were arrested at Stockton, Mo. two
weeks ago together with the Furies and

Something that may not be known to
many is that the Legislature at its
special session passed supplemental
act to the one extending the time for
the paying of taxes of 1896, allowing
collectors to receipt for taxes at any

force collectors had no authority to
receipt for delinquent taxes when
offered. This has all been changed and
all who wish to pay can do SO.

The Pan Telephone company tried to
steal march ON the electric light

the electric light wires were to be put

the top of their poles they thought they
would have grounds for preventing the
electric wires being strung there as it
would put them either to close to their
wires or the ground, but the scheme
failed as it should and they must move
their wires to the top.
