Union won't do thing to the
West Virginia miners, but black
list them, and render the product
of their toll unmarketable. You
may think now that you are the
only pebble on the beach, said
he, "but if we lose this strike, it
will he a pebble thar will never
be heard from in the great coal
markets of America. We will
knock West Virginia coal high
er than a skite." Frequent use was
made of the phrase, IF we lose
this strike both in the speech
of Rea, and that of Malone. who
followed him. They made good
enough showing, and were well
enough received by the good
lhumored crowd. The miners
doubtless regard them as their
friends, but Rea said : I'VE have
more trouble in contending with
you miners than with all the rail.
roads in the United States. Just
as long as you submit to go at
this thing individually you never
will succeed. Are you such darn
ed Internal towards that you wait
for another lot of miners to go
out ? A miner asked me what
would become of the West Vir-
GINA miners if they refused to
go out. I said to him, I'VE will
blacklist you. Any firm that
buys coal from you will not be
allowed to sell coal where we
have any control and / tell you
we have a great control"
Rea enjoined the miners to be
peaceable and sober. and not, by
disorderly conduct, to bring any
stigma upon the cause.

AN APPEAL.

Malone resumed: I'VE come
to appeal to the West Virgins
miner. Why do we appeal to
him : Because the output frol1
the West Virginia fields win de
feat the miners of America, This
is conceded by all who have dis
cussed this question. We appeal
to'you not to defeat the miners
of America. But they say, we
have a harvest. Suppose the
miners of America are defeated
in this struggle, what will be the
result? They will return back
to work in their divided state.
Competition will be the order Of
the day, and the mine which can
dig the cheapest will be the mine
that can place their coal on the
market. Those who will go the
lowest in degradation, in poverty
and misery will be the ones em-s
ployed. Then tell me. achat ,eiltl

The Dingley tariff bill. after

now the law OF the land. It's en-.
actment has been comparatively

consumed but little over four
months, whereas the Wilson act

An interesting legal question
has already arisen over the new
tariff bill, in which 1t was pro-
vided that the bill should take
effect on the day it became q law.
The President signed the bill IL
four o'clock, Saturday afternoon;
but as the government recognizes
no parts of a day, twas held that
the law applies to the entire day,
and the revenue officials are coll
lecting the new duties on Satur.
days importations. On the other
had, there is the constitutional
question. 1t is true that a law
can not apply to a criminal act
before its passage, but whether 9
tax can be laid on certain Inn
ported goods is another question.
No injustice was done to impor-
ters, who knew that the confer
ence report would be agreed to.
Indeed, there was more delay
than was anticipated, and most
people expected that the confer
ence act would become a law
earlier. The only cause of COM
plant importers seem to have is
that some of their ships burned
extra coal in a race to get in on;
Saturday. The matter will go to
the courts, where the importers
will sue for a return of the extra
duties collected on Saturday.

to his theme, soon became i'm
FASHIONED and eloquent. Mahone's
oratory is of the crude order, but
it appeals to the workingman,
The speaker began by paying
a tribute to the West Virginians,
referring in flattering terms to
the uniform courtesy with which
the organizers had been received
by them since coming into the
State. He introduced himself as
a representative of organized
labor. He himself he said had
never worked in a mine a day in
his life, but Il felt at the outset
of tho miners strike" said Ma
hone, '.and believe today, that
it concerns me as much as it does
the coal miner. If the strike OF
the coal miners is lost, it will af-
feet not only the coal miner, but
every organization Of labor as
we'll"
Malone said he was here in
West Virginia to plead the cause
of the striking miners of other
States. He denied receiving any
pay except his salary from the
organization that sent him said
they we're on the wrong side OF
the fence" for much pay that
il he wanted a big salary the
way to obtain it would be to speak
in behalf of the operators that
no one was likely to believe he
was very well paid, when it had
to come from the starving miners.
