MINERS TO SHARE IN PROFITS.
j. Pierpont MorgaG's Project in
His New Coal Combine.

New York, Jan. lin carrying out
his plans for the formation of vast
bituminous coal trust, j. Pierpont Nor
| gan proposes to share the profits of
the new combination with the miners
who dig out the coal. They are, in this
way. to cooperate with the trust, and
each advance in coal prices is to carry
with 1t an increase in the wages of the
| men.
The most interesting feature of the
new combination, which came TO light
yesterday. is the profit sharing plan
| for the miners. The importance of this
| plan viii be seen, when il is stated
that 100000 men will be affected. 1t

or bad conduct TO save or lose millions
| OF dollars annually to the companies.
The COMPANIES now propose to enlist
the miners so that they viii see it is to
their personal interest to cooperate
in the new arrangement.
During the recent fights between the
railroads and operators the scale of
wages was seriously cut in the several
! states, and some of the miners, par
ticularly those who struck. were half
starved. Until Mr.. Morgan suggested
the plan for a grand combination the
operators met with small success in re-

3 cents a ton less than Pittsburg
operators. 1t is now proposed to COM
promise on the differential between the
two districts, which will probably be
fixed at or cents.
According to Mr.. Morgan's plan, the
price of soft coal is to be restored to
living basis in the five States, and
the miners will be promised a proper
tional raise in their wages, depending
upon the amount the price is advanc-
ed. and as often as il is raised IL has

standpoint. s+A
There is to be a uniform scale gov
and the difference between the sever

ton will fix interstate freight rates and

The Burlingame treaty between the

the inherent and inalienable right Of

and also the mutual advantage of free
migration and emigration of citizens
and subjects from one country to an
other for the purpose of curiosity, of
trade or as permanent residents. This
ethical statement was simply the cor

clares the right of all men 10 life, liber-

this adjective selfish eXpediency holds

There is no general demand for this
proposed legislation, deadly as is the
apathy which permits such injustice to
proceed without universal protest. The
scheme has been labOriously worked up
by small organization unfortunately
shielded by your honorcd name.
Ignorance is the preteXt for this
drastic bill The crime of birth in des-
potisms where learning is denied the
masses is deemed sufficient reason foc
shutting out the poor fugitives who
have the energy and ambition to escape
from conditions where hope is dead.
You. sir. are a scholar, and know the
WOrthlesSness Of the educational test
which the Lodge bill proposes. 1t
would be impertinent to point out to
you how little reading or writing can
determine the character, good sense,
ability industry or honesty OF the inn
migrant. Yet these are the qualities a
country needs far more than a knowl-
edge Of the alphabet or the skill to
hold a pen. No one appreciates morc
than does the scholar how powerless

hitting or defending acts which tend
to imperil self government"
