A Proposition Made to tho Minors
by Thor Employers.
s1xrY.r1vE GENT RATE OFFERED

A Convention TO BE Held at Columbus
Next Wednesday, at which tho
Workers VIII Decide to Accept or
Reject the OFFER.
Columbus, O.. Sept. 4-The end of the
great miners strike Is In sight Yes.
terday afternoon the national execu-
tive board of the United Mine Work.
ers agreed to recommend to the min
ers a proposition from the Pittsburg
operators for a straight price of IS
cents q ton. to continue In force until
the end of the year. A delegate conven-
ton Of all miners who have suspended
work has been called to meet In Co
lumbus Sept 8 at 10 a. M, to act upon
the recommendation. President Ratch-
ford and other members Of the board
say there Is not the slightest doubt
that the miners will approve the rec
ommendation. The proposition does not
involve arbitration, and in effect pro-
vides for an immediate settlement OF
the strike.
President Ratchford said last night
that there were special reasons for the
board recommending the proposition.
In the first place. it comedies the min
ers a material advance. Had SO cent
rate been secured he Is confident 1t
could not have been maintained for
more than 10 days. The proposition
does away with all the uncertainties
Of arbitration. and will bring the strike
to a speedy termination. As soon as
the miners ratify the proposition work
will be resumed in all the mines.
In the second place the proposition
provides for revival Of the joint con-
ference for the adjustment Of prices.
The operators are pledged to meet with
the miners prior to the Termination of
the agreement and determine the rate
Of mining for the next year. Both the
members Of the miners executive board
and the operators committee are
pleased over the outcome of the con-
ference. and feel that public sentiment
will sustain their action.
Yesterday morning the operators
committee renewed their first propo-
sition for "a cent rate pending ar
bitration. This was again rejected by
the miners board. Then the operators
committee got together and submitted
a new proposition for straight price
Of 6B cents. and after long discussion
It was accepted by the miners, but sub
1ect to the approval Of the miners at
large.
A circular has been issued by the
rniners executive board setting forth
the above facts, and adding:
Your executive board and district
presidents, after much elaboration and
q thorough consideration of the propo-
sitions. do recommend the 6b cent prop
osltion as in their judgment the best
that can be secured, because of the
circumstances that are apparent to all
who study market conditions since the
inauguration of the strike. You. how
aver. are the court of final adjudication.
and must decide for yourselves what
your actions shall be ana when work
shall be resumed. Additional reasons
will be given and a full report made
of the general situation at the conven-
ton"

Working Like Convicts.

Grove CITY, Pa. Sept. "A great deal
of excitement has been caused here by
the report that the Poles employed to
fill the striking miners places at the
Chestnut Ridge mine were being held
there against their WILL and were COM
PEELED to work at the point Of rifle,
and were threatened with death IL they
attempted to leave. One of the Poles
managed to elude the vigilance of the
guards, and tells a tale that is causing
a great deal of indignation among the
strikers. Among other things he says
that up to the time Of his escape he had
received nothing to eat but one slice
of bread. He has entered proceedings
against the manager of the mine.

Sea Grit. Sept. 4.-Georgia continued
her victories yesterday In the shooting
contests here. and carried two more
important prizes. The New York and
District of Columbia men are making
a fair showing against the men from
Georgia. but the New Jersey teams,
when pitted against the other state
teams have so far come in last. The
Georgians will take back with them
the Hilton trophy. and the same state
will take the reGimental team match
trophy. both won yesterday. The shoot
ing for the Hilton trophy of the Geor-
gia team was exceptionally fine.

The City Council rluddle.

The failure Of the city council to elect
officers as The charter requires. has led to n
pretty state of affairs. Different members
have proven that they are not properly
qualified to discharge the duties devolving
on them. Their petty grievances should
not have led them to neglect to conform to
the charter or obstruct tho business Of the
city. II they cannot do their duty they
should resign and permit men Of greater
lib3raiity to fill their places. Their con.
duct Is dscreditable to themselves as well
rs to their party. Such pickering is dis
graceful, and it is rare indeed that it has
been parnlleled. We hope they may har-
monize and at tho next meeting put an
end to this foolish contention. Nothing
aan be gained by prolongng the struggle
md only superficial Observes can fail to
condemn it. Gentlemen, be moro liberal;
compromise your grievances, and, like
good citizens, allow the majority to rule.

Why Interest Is HIgh In Texas.


The Galveston Daily News reminds
its Texas readers Of the difference in in
tcrcst rates in the northeastern states
and in some of the western and southern
states and gives them few elementary
lessons on the reasons for this difference.
Interest is never so low" it says, Sin
communities given over to suspicious
fires, questionable assignments fraudu-
lent fixtures or to legislation with do
cidcd turn against the creditor and in
fuvor Of the debtor Much of the mar
kot rate Of interest is insurance against
risk, aud of course diminishes as the
risk decreases. "Where men are required
by law to pay their debts and are not
sheltered and encouraged in tricky
courses by unreasonable exemption laws
and by public prejudice against cred
itors as class the risk is naturally less
serious"
Making its application to Texas,
The News says: ave have a right to
to leave Il fraudulent debtor residence
worth $50, 900, all the bank stock or
bonds he can carry ard an extraordinary
collection Of the tools of his trade or
profession and to defy his creditors to
crook finger at him. We can do this if
we prefer, but it is going to cost us
something 1t asks why tho "goodly
majority Of the people of Texas" who
are not disposed to live high today and
hide behind the exemption law, the as
signmcnt law or some other law tomor,
row." should be forced by the discredit
Of bad laws and few dishonest men
ito pay two prices for every dollar they
borrow" 1t believes the rate of interest
would come down one-half and the
loanable funds would double if the hon.
est men of the state would demand the
enactment Of laws under which cred
itor could collect what is due him.
