MEETING AT HARRISBURG.

Rea and Woods Address a Big Crowd
After Parade Through the Town.
! Special to the Register.
! Clarksburg, w. Va, August 25!-Ihe
miners turned out tonight and gave
a very creditable parade through the
principal streets of the town, headed
by a band, and stopped in front of the
st. Charles Hotel, where they were ad-
dressed by Rae and Woods.
They carried a United States flag
and banners, with these inscriptions:
United we stand. divided we fall
I'VE are fighting for our homes and
living wages"
The speakers were very conservative
in their remarks. However, one or
them spoke very plainly in regard -
the decision of the Circuit Court Of
the United States. He condemned the
practice of taking out so much each
week for miners doctor bill, whethe:
sick or not, as well as the 'pluck-me"
store system. He said if newspapers
would publish the truth people would
not wonder at these matters, that while
papers are controlled by capital there
would be no fair deal.
He said that a certain newspaper
man at a Clarksburg hotel said he
would not publish the proceedings OF
this meeting.
He ridiculed a certain United States
marshal. who, he said, testified the
other day in court that the flag or ban
ners carried by the miners had stripes
on them, but could not say whether
there was any stars. He said that
certain pit boss had told certain min
ers that the men would get five years,
and could have choice Of going either
to Moundsville or Columbus, to show
the pressure brought against miners
by the operators.
He spoke of the great convention to
be held soon in st. Louis, and hoped it
would not be necessary to call on all
organized labor. That the question
was a national one and West Virginia
as we'll as Pittsburg and Ohio is in
terested. He predicted an early settle
ment of matters in favor of labor.

What hardship has there been on

to this publication in the Intelligencer'
quoted the advance in the price of SUI

Intelligencer, and the Intelligencer
passed it by as inconsequential. The
Intelligencer asked the Register TO
quote the markets" and we did it. 1t
dared us to "igsre out to what ex-
tent the American consumer is being

figures. The passage of the Dingley

Of sugar equal to s7,5OO,OOO on the an

in the "sweetening of cup Of coffee

ABOUT D'ARMITS MINES.

No Marches Made Yesterday-Missionarie

Pittsbu-g. Pa, August 25.-No
marching was done by the striking
miners in the DeArmit coal region.
The roads are in very bad shape from
heavy rains. During the day they
quietly continued their missionary
work. The campers are much encour-
aged and will continue the work.
They claim to have induced ten men
to quit at Oak Hill to-day, and that
many more will be out tomorrow.
At Plum Creek the strikers seem TO
be losing ground. To-day the company
decided that every man who did not
go to work at once could not go at all
hereafter. They say this rule will be
enforced. A few men who have been
prominent in trying TO induce miners
to strike applied for work, but were
refused.
There were no evictions to-day.

1t was the Democratic party and
Mr. William Wilson who first called
attention to the importance of the
markets Of the world. and who insisted
upon a cultivation of the consumers
of other nations. The Republican
party was opposed to this sort of
thing, and laughed it to scorn. The
Wilson bill bore good fruits. Pity it
is it is not still the law Of the land.
Five years more of the Wilson tariff
policy would see us supplying all of
Christendom with manufactured arti-
cles.

The IntelGgencer shrieks in discord-

really never said very much about the
increased cost Of sugar. anyhow. and
then confesses that although sugar has
advanced. the average citizen will
never feel the steal. and that, at all
events. some additional men will be put

Well. We hope those additional men
will get a Job. Somebody aside from
the sugar trust stockholders ought to
get a little piece Of that increase Of

Many of the local operators who took
