OPERATORS STATEMENT.
They Say II IL n Plan of Westcrncrs
to Get the Bunlncss.


Pittsburg. Pa, August FLA committee
appointed by the coal operators sent out the
following statement for publication tonight:
Facts which have developed within The
last few days disclose that the coal pro-
ducers OF the Pittsburg district are con
fropted with the combined opposition OF
the miners organization and coallition OF
the producers of Ohio. Indiana and llli-
nois. That there is a we'll considered plan
on the part OF these Western producers 10
supplant the Pittsburg operators in the
Northwestern markets for the coal required
fer the coming winter is evidenced by tie
influence set In motion to prolong the
strike, making IL impossible to get Pitts
burg coal to the upper lake ports before
the close OF lake navigation. 1t is equally
true that willingly or ignorantly the min
ers organization Is acting in harmony with
the producers OF other States to accom-
pllsh the purpose intended. In view OF tia
futile efforts which have been made 60
maintain an Interstate agreement in former
years the position of Mr.. Ratchford and his
aiivlsers to settle only by an interstate con-
ference is impossible.
Tho statement then goes into an ex-
haustive review OF the economic problems
which confront both operators and miners
and concludes as follows:
1T is felt that statement OF the side
of the operators Is due the public in order
that clear and impartial understanding
OF the merits and dement's OF the coatro-
versy may be arrived at They hope for an
amicable settlement in the pittsburg dis
trict. knowing that such a result will fol-
low in other districts and States. II It
should fail they must put their mines in
operation unless they are willing TO con-
sent To sacrifice their market for the re-
mainder Of the year and impsrll all bnsi-
ness relations for future years. besites lay
ing themselves open TO charges OF violating
contracts with their customers. They have
| been patient. but the time has almost come
| when coal must be going forward II tho
market is to BIO held against those who
seek to displace them.

10 take advantage OF an independent east

train service into Portland. This would
give Portland two transcontinental trains
with independent connections daily over
