to take the surplus labor off the market,

this will be solution OF the question
there is no doubt, but to insure action
along those lines the movement must be
large in its proportions, and every miner
must cease work."
a. Brenholz, who manages the home
Office for the General Hooking Coal Com
pany, ut Columbus, says there is at least
100000 tons of coal in storage in the
Northwest. He estimates that this will
supply all demands for at least four
months. no matter how general the min
crs' strike becomes. There is considerable
coal on the Ohio docks ready for ship
mcnt by lake. but this coal will not be
sent West. 1t will be held for the purpose
of supplying transient trade. With re-
spect to Il supply for the railroads, it is
estimated that the different companies
have enough coal on hand to last them
about six weeks.
Indiana for Arbitration.
The Indiana labor arbitration commits
sion has taken the initiative in propos-
ing arbitration of the miners strike. The
two commissioners, b. Il. Schid, repre-
scnting employers, and L. p. Mccormack,
representing organized labor, met in spe-
cial session Tuesday, and decided to invite
the labor arbitration commissioners of
Ohio, Pennsylvania and Illinois to meet
in indianapolis, with the view of agreeing
upon n proposition of arbitration to be
submitted to the operators and miners.
Gov. Mount told the commissioners that
he would cooperate in any plans agreed
upon, and would ask the Governors of the
other States interested to joint him in
furthering the movement,

Must Face the Law.
An important step was taken at Gin
cinnati in convection with the strike,
which puts the power of the United States
against all violence or unlawful acts in
at least n portion of the territory of Ohio.
An order OF the United States Circuit
Court, sOutlern district of Ohio, eastern
division, was made by Judge Taft, upon
showing made by Myron 4. Herrick
and Robert Blickansdcrfer, receivers of
the Wheeling and Lake Eric Railway
Company and of the Wheeling, Lake
Erie and Pittsburg Coal Company, where
by the United States Marshal is directed
to protect their miners Mt work and to
prevent unlawful interference with the
operations of their railway.
The receivers state that they are cn-
gagged III the operation of two coal mines
of the Wheeling, Lake Erie and Pittsburg
Coal Company, known as the Dillcnvulc
and Long Run coal mines; that there is IL
strike among the mine workers of Ohio
and other States under the direction of
the United Mine Workers; that all of the
800 miners at Dillenvalc and one-lalf of
the 400 at the Long Run mine are desir-
GUS of remaining at work, but have re-
Trained from so doing by reason of threats
ald warnings from other miners who
have joined the strike: that it is necessary
for the lainc to continue i'll operation and
that the miners will continue at work il
protected from physical injury to them
selves and their property. Judge Taft
gave an order to the United States Mar
sial to consult with the receivers of this
court and send to Jefferson County and
to other parts of this district sufficient
number of United States marslals to pro-
tect the mining and railroad property
now being operated by these receivers
under order of this court.
President Ratchforil. in reviewing the
situation. said: "AIuch has been said as
to the amount of coal in stock mt the head
of the lakes and in the general markets,
and also that operators in certain fields,
through information received, made prep
arations for the contest by stocking up
| coal. Such report is erroneous. The Ope-
iators, the public and even the miners
had no information on this matter, ana
there is no coal in stock in any great
quantities. The cnormity of the present
mining suspension is attracting the at
tcntion of members of Congress and the
Senate, as well as members of the Cab

From estimates prepared on the basis

allowance for the present conditions. it
isbclicved that the expense of maintaining
the strike in the State of Ohio alone will
aggregate nearly 100000 day. Or this
amount the miner loses nearly $17, 900,
the coal operators $4,000 and the rail-
road companies $4,000. 10 this must
also be added the decreased earnings of
the railroad employees, dock and lake YES

Ohio for the year 1895 was 100000
tons in round numbers, an average of 566
tons Il miner, which is equal to 1.6 tons n
day. 1t is estimated that 2,5OOOOO tons

National President Ratchford said
Tuesday that he had received reports
showing that the greater part of Penn
sylvania, Illinois, Indiana and Ohio was
idle, and within Il day or two complete
suspension is expected. The Ohio miners
are practically a unit for higher wages,

State are already holding out for the
scale.
President Patrick Dolan, of the Pitts
burg district, estimated the total number
OF men out to be nearly $4,000. Prcsi-
dent Dolan further said the reports from
all over the district indicate the strike will
be more general than Mt first supposed.
Along the Monongahela River work has
practically been suspended and deter
inined battle is in progress. All the mines,
with the exception of a comparatively
small number, are idle, and it is thought
nearly every miner will come out. The
circumstances indicate strike of some
length, and in consequence the distress
will be great.

In the vast auditorium of the gayly dec

the thirts-sixth annual convention of the

mally opened Tuesday night. 1t was the
launching of an event of dual brilliancy.
The people of IL city and State that huve
ever tittingly responded to the demands
made upon their hospitality and their re-
sources paid tribute to their guests in cor
dial love and greeting. The delegates
whose presence had inspired the magniti-
cence Of the welcome formed an array
that was composite picture of intellect
and of merit. 1t was an inspiring scene.
When the great throngs had pressed
through the doorways for more than an
hour and when no more could enter, H.
oOU persons confronted the stage. From
the edge of the platform, buried behind II
wealth OF palms and other tropical foliage,
to the fnrtlermost galleries there were
tiers upon tiers of faces. Into every cram

The first general session was opened
with prayer by Rabbi s. Hecht, and after
the singing of America" by the immense
male chorus, composed of over 800 voices
from the leading musical societies of the
city, which was Justify applauded by the
1900 teachers in attendance ut the gath
ering, the addresses of welcome and re-
sponses thereto were delivered and met
with kind reception from the audience.
a number of pleasant things were said

State Superintendent of Public Instruc-
tion j. q. Emery and III. o. Il. Siefcrt,
superintendent of public schools in Mil
wauliee, i'll welcoming the visiting cduca-
tors to the fair Cream City. The ad-
dress of Mayor Rauschenbcrger was par
ticularly calculated to tickle the fancy of
the visitors, and called forth generous
round of applause. The responses by a.
L. Winship of Boston, j. L. Holloway of
Arkansas, Aaron Cove of Denver and AL
bert G. Lane of Chicago were also in Il.
happy vein and calculated to make the
Milwaukee people feel good over the great
success of this years convention of the

tent with the manner in which they ar
ranged for the reception of the immense
thrOng of people now being entertained in
the city.

him with a paper OH 'The Study of His

sentiments of every AIilwaukeean when
he said every citizen was proud of the
fact that his native heath had been Sc
lectcd as the rendezvous of the 10000

Scoield, Principal Sicfert and State Su-
perintendent Emery were brief and cx-
