sitting on the edge of the Quincy street

waiting for a train at $3.50 O'Clock in the

train approached and as the motorman
did not see him until too late he was
struck and so severely hurt that he may
die. Though no bones were broken, his
legs were turned around in the narrow

No Chinese To BE Imported.

"The plan to bring in Chinese miners
has not been definitely given up by any
means. They would make better MIN
ers than the ones we have now and can
be secured without any trouble"
In Streator everything is quiet. NO
attempt is being made to reopen any
of the mines owned by the big compa-
nies here, the Star and the Chicago,
Wilmington and Vermilion Coal compa-
MES. These two companies furnish en-
ployment to 1,50O of the 1000 miners who
live here. The attitude of Secretary
Ratbun Of the Star Coal company fs
well known. General Manager Cherry
of the Chicago, Wilmington and Vermil-
ion Coal company insists that his COM
pany has given up all ideas of substi-
tuting Chinese labor. Yet Secretary
Ratbun of the rival company insists
that he understands that the Chicago,
Wilmington and Vermlion Coal COM
pany will employ Chinese unless the
strike is soCn settled.

Miners at Carbon Hill.

Secretary Ratbun of the Star Coal
company, which owns big mines here
and at Carbon Hill, received dispatches
from Carbon Hill and Braceville early
in the morning. stating that the miners
who were working returned TO work
again in the morning. Secretary Kat
bun returned from Carbon Hill, where
he has Just finished building the famous
4,0OO-foot stockade around the company's
shafts and buildings. He claims to be
thoroughly familiar with the feelings OF
the miners there and says he doesn't
believe the men now working in his
mines can be induced to quit. He
claims 700 are working there and that
his foreman telephoned him 100 more
had applied for work in the morning.
He insists that his company won't ar
bitrate.
"If the miners do finally succeed In
bringing out our men," said he. Il can
not say what steps we shall take to fill
their places. We cannot keep our prop
critics idle and unproductive.

MINERS IN bad HUMOR
Trouble Feared in Some of the
Illinois Towns.
IT MAY WIND UP IN BLOODsHED.

First Effort 10 Secure Arbitration Results
I'm Failure-O Outcome of the Plan Adopt
ed at the Streator Convention Still Very
Much In Doubt-strikers Determined to
Get the Men Who Are at Work Out
Again-Their Only Hope.
Streator, Ills, Nov. 13-Olive branch
es and doves of peace have absolutely
Chinese cheap labor and clubs seem
likely to play a more exciting part. At
Carbon Hill. Coal City, Braceville and
the rest of that group of mining towns
in the Wilmington district, half way be-
tween Joliet and Streator, the danger
of trouble is serious. In the present
angry temper of the striking miners
rioting and bloodshed may be imminent.
Although it is too early to prophecy the
success or failure of the plan adopted
by the miners convention here to in
sist upon the gross tonnage weight OF
all coal mined in this district and to
submit the price to be paid to arbitra-
ton, yet the first effort to secure the
desired arbitration has failed Colonel
A. L. Sweet has refused to arbtrate
unless all the other miners in this dis
trict will agree to the same plan.
The Possible Chance of Arbitration.
One of the principal officers OF the
miners admits that ii will be almost
impossible to gain consent of all the
mine owners to arbitration.
The arbitration scheme has only one
possible chance for success. If the 800
miners who have returned to work in
the Wilmington district at the compro-
mise scale can be induced to strike
again the miners hope to compel the
mine-owners to arbitrate, but as long
as any mine can be run without arbi-
tration the mine-owners will naturally
refuse to arbitrate. The $500 miners
who still remain out in the Wilmington
district, realize that the 800 who sur
rendered must come out again. They
feel bitter and are reported TO be de-
termined to back up the orders of the
convention by force, If persuasion faiis.
