Peoria. Ills.. Aug. 3O.-Grand Master
Sargent, Of the Brotherhood of Locomo-

attend the meeting Of union labor lead
ers at st. Louis today; that he is op-
posed to sympathetic strikes. and that
the bylaws of the organization prevent
IT from taking part in them. Sargent says
the announcement that he would attend
the conference is unauthorized, and that
the brotherhood will not be officially
represented. He left Saturday for Penn
sylvania on business connected with the
organization. Sargent says the firemen
sympathize with the striking miners
and have shown it by their liberal re-
Spouse to an appeal for financial aid
sent out by him. But they can do them
more good by staying at work and earn
Ing money to contribute than they can
by striking and thus cutting off the
source Of supplies. Grand Master Pow

Now, II this was not fair. I would like
to know Of an argument against 1t. They
refused to be as good as their word on
the first proposition. and On the second
did not even exhibit a desire to bring
about certain conference OF tn various
as suggested"
The operators statement referred to
IN the foregoing Is a reply to Rateh-
ford's. made the day before. The pith
OF what the operators say is that Ratch-
ford states that the operators never
asked for a conference. but declared a
determination to build stockades and to
employ Calling guns and Pinkerton de-
tectives. This is false and Mr.. Ratch-
ford knows it. He says this is the ac-
ton Of men who fear discussion of the
question at issue. II SO why did Mr..
Ratchford decline to accept any one OF
the four propositions made by the op-
orators at the Monongahela House
meeting. Did not Mr.. Ratch-
ford himself fear to submit to an i'm
Partial board Of arbitrators? What use
to submit differences to arbitrators
when one of the parties demands as
condition Of arbitration that the other
surrender all that was demanded in the
first place.
Mr.. Eatehford says the miners must
have living rate Of wages What
does he mean by the term living wages?
Does he not know that any industrious
miner in the Pittsburg district daily
earned, under a 54-cent rate, a higher
wage than is paid to a majority of the
mechanics in the mills and factories in
Pittsburg. and that the mine laborers
received higher wage per day than is
paid for common labor by any railroad
or manufacturing company east of the
Rocky mountains?" The operators far
ther along intimate that because he is
an Ohio man. Ratchford is hand in
glove with the Ohio operators, who
want to capture the market for Pitts

Marquette, Mich, Aug. %. The
threatened walkOut of miners at Ishpem-
Ing did not take place this morning.
Neither will the non-union men be
forced to quit work in the mines. A
continual election was in progress all
last week. and when the votes were
counted at meeting yesterday 1t was
found that the strike proposition was
defeated by stiff majority. The last
strike in these mines resulted in seven
weeks OF semi-starvation and then a
return to work at the company's terms.
