A Victory for All Union Labor.

81 am we'll satisfied with the agree
ment reached, and feel that it is the
greatest victory gained by 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 sup
piled the necessaries without which the
miners could not possibly succeed. 1t
is great victory for organized labor,
and not for any particular trade, and
we want our friends who have helped
us to feel that it is their victory as well
as ours. 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.. Gompers and the members of the
executive committee.
Mr.. Ratchford was asked as to the
situation in West Virginia and Illinois.
He said:
"My adgices from West Virginia are
to the effect that our miners are stand
ing firm; are well pleased with the
agreement reached, and evince de-
termination to fight their battle to the
end. Our purpose is to bring the min
ers and operators of that state together
in joint convention, that a uniform
mining price may be fixed and paid for
the same vein of coal, and fair rela-
tive price for other veins within the
state. In short fix a mining rate that
will give to West Virginia fair compet-
ing opportunities and nothing more.
GAS to Illinois, a convention of the
Illinois miners, is being held now. I
have not had any advices from there,
but can safely predict what their action
will be. They will continue the struggle
until the relative prices are established.
The greatest difficulty in the way Of
advance in the Illinois district is the
fact that contracts were taken last
spring, based upon low mining rate,
as they were in Plttsburg and else
where. But this is matter that we
cannot be responsible for; is a matter
of business to the operator himself; no
man has right to sell another man S
labor one year in advance, without con-
sulting the laborer While we have al
ways deferred to the claims of men
along those lines, the time has come
when no further consideration can be
given them, because the wages paid to
the miner is below the living point, and
the preservation Of life takes precedence
over business affairs.
''The fixing of mining rate that will
give fair competing opportunities is the
object Of the miners organization every
where. We have been working to
bring the operators of the several states
together with this end in view.
Though our efforts have been futile we
will continue to advocate that policy,
believing there is but one sure way to
keep down strikes and disputes, which
are no advantage to either side, and
that is for the miners and operators in
terested from the various states to meet
annually, mutually fix prices for each
district that are fair and just, and each
party to the agreement to observe it
faithfully until a subsequent agreement
takes it's place. During the eight years
that this system was in vogue, strikes
and disturbances of general character
were unknown. and the causes which

LABOR'S VICTORY
President Ratchf0rd Gives Out
an official Statement of the
Strike.
The Outcome One for Which ALI
Organized Labor Is Entitled I
to Credit.
Condition of Affairs in West
Virginia and Illinois
Outlined.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 22:-M. D. Ratch-
ford, president of the United Mine
Workers of America, who is here to at
tend special meeting of the officers OF
the federation of labor, gave the fol-
lowing authorized statement to the
Associated Press:
To-day will see about $4,000 miners
resume work in the bituminous coal
fields of the Central states. The strike.
generally ends today. This is the mid
die of the 18th week of of its duration.
1t was brought to a close at our con-
vention held at Columbus, o., on the
9Th to the l1th of the presenth month,
the 10 days time being given to allow
miners and operators to come together
in Illinois and West Virginia, to meet
the prices fixed-65 cents ton in
Pittsburg, 56 cents in Ohio and Indiana
the same to continue till the end OF
December. The mining situation is
not likely to become 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 strike
1t is we'll llunderstood that the fight will
continue from the present time in all
fields, and against all operators who re-
fuse to meet the rates. The greatest
trouble will be found in West Virginia
and portion of Illinois. I am still
hopeful, however, that the producers of
those fields will conform to the change
and put their mines in operation. Fail
ing to do this, we will fight them as we
have done until the beginning of next
year, at which time it is said their pres
ent contracts will expire

The amount of gold cleaned up in the last run IS sad to have been hsttering argument in faxor of the mine and its management.
 The figure 9 Is curiously and inti- mately connected with the great gold mining exciteme0ts of the nine teenth century. The great Algerian gold bubble formed and broke in lS09. Next came the Matazan noun tain craze in 1889, when solid bould- CTS of gold, as large as four barrels, were reported. The California gold fever broke out in IS49 and ragged until enumerated by the Fixes Peak boom in 1859. Ten years later, iu 1888, ''Old Nirginy.' the cele- 5rsted miner, struck the lucky lead which made Virginia City and Nevada famous in the mining annals of the world. 1879 came in on time with the Lesdyille frenzy, the Tomb stone, ArIzona, excitement and the famous ''corbonates of Lake county, Colorado. 1889 broke the charm, but 1899 may make up for the lost time, there being two 9's in that date.-St. Louis Republic.
