National League Season to Begin
April Is.
St. Louis, Feb. 21.-The regular spring
meeting of the baseball magnates of
the National league will be held in this
city on Monday, February 20. A large
amount of business will come before
the meeting for transaction, probably
the most important being the arrang-
ing of the years schedule. 1t has al
ready been agreed that the season will
be opened April Is, week earlier than
it was last year. 1t is estimated that
about 20 more games are to be played
this year than were played last sea-
son, and most of the clubs have an
nounced their intention of playing Sun
day ball, Philadelphia and Boston be-
ing the only two cities now remaining
in the nonplaying Sunday list. The UNI
pire staff will be completed, and as the
double umpire system has been adopt
ed, better work in this respect will be
looked for. A number of resolutions
will be presented at the league meeting.
Among the most important will be
that of John T. Brush, which allows for
the blacklisting of players who use in
decent language on the playing field.
Some consider his measure too severe,
but it will probably be accepted in a
modified form.

STORY OF A STRIKE.
Illinois Labor Commissioners RepOr
on Miners Troubles Last Year.

Illinois Labor Commissioners Report
on Miners Troubles Last Year.
Springfield, ILL.,, Feb. 21.-The state
board of labor commissioners has just
issued a lengthy report on the coal
miners strike of last year. The report
says that the strike of 1897, when it's
extent, number of men involved, dura-
ton and results are considered, ranks
as the most notable industrial event in
strike of last year 3O7 mines and 20, 466
men. In Illinois more men and mines
continued in active service in the recent
strike than in 1894, as was likewise the
case in a number of other states, no.
table in West Virginia, Kentucky and
Iowa. The result was that at no time
during the recent suspension were the
principal markets entirely destitute of
the product. The miners who partici-
pated in the strike have since shared
the benefit of the advance in wages
which has resulted, while at 80 mines
the men continued to work with little
advance and at five mines no change in
the price has been made. The average
duration of the strike in Illinois was 81
days. The greatest gain was in the
northern part of the state, along the
region of the Rock Island road, where
prices had been lowest. Miners at
Springfield, Danville and Streator Sc
cured an advance of substantially 20
per cent.
