To-day will see about 75 900 miners resume
work in the bitumnous coal fields OF the GEN.
trail states. The strike generally ends to-day.
This Is the middle OF the 18th week of its dura-
tion. II was brought to close at our conven-
tion held at Columbus O., on the eth TO the llth
Of the present month, the ten days time being
given to allow miners and operators to come
together in Illinois and West Virginia TO meet
the prices fixed-s5 cents ton in Pittsburgh
SO cents in Ohio and Indiana-the same to
,inue till the end Of December The mining
situation is not likely to be disturbed again
until the beginning OF next year. at which time
we hope to be able to settle wage differences
amicably and without the necessity OF q strike
I am well satisfied with the agreement
reached, and feel that 1t is the greatest victory
gained by the trades unions for years OF course,
the victory Is not altogether one of the miners
While they have done the striking. trades
unions and organized bodies have supplied the
necessaries without which the miners could
not possibly succeed. II is victory for organ
lied labor and not for any particular trade, and
we want our friends who have helped us to feel
very grateful for the assistance given us by the
American Federation Of Labor and the kindly
disposition shown US at all times by Mr.. Com
pers and the members of his executive COM
mlttce.
Asked as to the situation in West
Virginia and Illinois, Ratchford said:
My adyices from West Virginia are to the
effect that our miners standing firm. are
well pleased with the agreement reached and
evince "a determination to fight their battle to
the end. Our purpose is to bring the miners
and operators OF that state together in Il Joint
convention, that n uniform mining price may
be ixed and paid for the same vein OF coal.
and fair relative price for other veins within
the state. AS to Illinois, n convention OF the
Illinois miners IS being held now. ! have not
had any advices from there, but can safely pre-
diet what they will do. They will continue the
struggle until fair prices are established

WHISKY AND EDUCATION

When Dr.. Boone, the admirable
lecturer before the late Florida
State Teachers Association, said,
before a great crowd of teachers,
tha! there was a fearful inequality
between the amount Cf money
spent for strong dTink and thai
spent for the education of tbs
children of the United States,
people began 70 prick up their
ears at once. They thought the
statement a broad one. But be
satisfied them by accurate stats
tics, which al the more amazed
them. What were these? Tney
are as follows: Two hundred n i
lion dollars are spent annually for
education, but one thousand mil
hons for strong drink IN his c2un-
try alone. This is Shocking yet
they are not Few facts. How lo0 E
must it be before the people awak c
to the enocm!ty Of the w!i-ky
