Columbus, O., July o. United Mine
Workers headquarters report from
125,OOO to 10000 miners out. This is
all who were at work except West Vir-
ginia, outside, of Pennington, and the
Wheeling district and the New York and
Cleveland Coal Gas company, of Pitts
burgh. Headquarters have advices,
they say, that the feeling in Pittsburgh
is that mining for this company can be
stopped.
Pittsburgh. Pa, July 10.-The great
est gathering Of labor leaders that ever
assembled in this country during ma
tional strike was held in this city Fri
day night to devise means to assist the
miners in their contest for increased
wages. The conference was called sud-
denly, but the officials responding rep
resented nearly every branch Of or
ganized labor in the United States.
The session was secret, and it was al
most midnight before it was over. The
press committee, Messrs Gompers,
Ratchford and Counahan, then gave out
the following statement, in which was
incorporated, they said, all that was
done at the conference. The manifesto
follows:
"After an Informal discussion reports
were made by Messrs. Ratchford, Dolan
and Warner in regard to the situation Of
the movement and it was demonstrated
that the suspension was practically gen.
eral In the competitive bituminous coal
district, extending also to Kentucky and
tennessee. excepting few points in West
Virginia. It was realized that the situa-
tion in West Virginia required attention
In order that the suspension should become
absolutely general and success assured.
With that object in view, action was rec
commended by President Gompers, Of the
American Federation. of Labor and it was
determined upon to overcome this feature
OF the contest. 1t was also determined that
every effort be made on the part Of those
present to secure the cooperation and prac-
tlcal aid of organized labor for the struR-
Cling miners. All the circumstances war
ranted the firm conviction that the miners
will ultimately achieve victory, and 10 this
end the aid of labor and the sympathetic
public is invoked. Conscious of the great
interest which the public has in a contest
so widespread as that of the miners it gives
US great satisfaction to know that the
miners have not been and are not now op-
posed to arbitration. We therefore urge
and advise that conference be held BY
representatives of the miners and opera.

of the association to the highest ideals of
our public educational system; stands for
sound training, thorough discipline and
good citizenship. 1t emphasizes in par
ttcular at this time the duty of the school
to the community that it represents; de-
mands that school administration in all
it's departments shall be wholly free from
political influence and dictation of every
sort; appeals to educated public opinion
and to the press of the country to enforce
this demand. 1t believes that the public
schools are increasing in efficiency as the
tenure of teachers is made longer and more
secure; believes it to be the duty as well
as the opportunity of the American college
to open it's doors to the largest number Of
students possible. The report urges more
attention to the study of the history and
principles of education in colleges and un-
versities; asks the attention of the exec
utive and legislative departments of the
government to the valuable work of the
bureau of education and to the pressing
need of adequate appropriations for its
support.

It was the Mckinley law, misrepre-

our overthrow in 1892 but it was the

swept Mckinley into the nomination

THE POOL DISSOLVED.
Bi. Interests the Mesaba Range
Unable to Get Together.

Unable to Get Together.
CLEVELAND, March rs. After several
postponements the much talked of
meeting of the Bessemer Iron associa.
tion, known as the iron ore pool, was
held here during the day. The meeting
was fruitless of results, for it was de-
cided that no further effort to reach an
agreement would avail, and the asso-
citation was formally dissolved. The
big interests on the Mesaba range, the
Rockefeller Carnegie interest and the
Minnesota Iron company were unable
to agree, and it was announced after
the meeting that the different compa-
MES on the new range would make
preparations Immediately for the sale
of ore and for production suited to
their ideas of the
Demands of tho Market,
irrespective of what might be done by
the owners of mines ON the old range
This means lower prices for ore and a
greater production than would have
prevailed if all the companies were in
cluded in the pool. 1t is thought that
one serious effect of the breaking up of
the ore association will be the reduc-
ton in the wages of labor, which in
some cases has already taken place,
and in others is4ikely to occur. Strikes
and labor riots are anticipated by some.

fell upon the adjoining building, which is
but four stories high. From the roof of
this structure two fire companies were di-
recting streams of water into the build
ing and several of the firemen we're buried

were carried from the roof in an uncon-
scious condition and removed to hospi-
tails. Some of the spectators were slightly
injured by falling PARTICLES but only three
were hurt seriously enough to require the

their homes

gushed with small losses.
