point to general suspension of coal
mining along the Monongahela river,
and by tomorrow it is expected that
10000 diggers will be on strike. The
operators have been requested by the
miners to acknowledge the interstate
agreement and comply with it's terms
Thus far only portion OF the
firms has acceded TO the demands.
and the others propose to fight il out
with their employees and the United
Mine Workers association. Nothing
short of the operators complying with
the conditions Of the Chicago agree
ment can avert a general strike, and
IT is probable that the river operators
will experience shutdown similar to-
that which the railroad operators haoi
on their hands last summer.

dent and will be a voluntary expression
from the people impossible to be misun-
isrstood To make this movement dou-
oily forceful 1t must be accomplished
quickly, and therefore we appeal to the
peoples voice, the public press, the only
vehicle for reaching the nation instan-
taneously.
1t is confidently believed that this
movement will make each enrolled vol
unteer feel more keenly his individual
interest and his integral part in national
affairs and thus prove the quality of our
citizenship. The plan in no way con-
1icts with national or state authority
Or with the militia, and the National
Volunteer Reserve will act as resource,
encouragement and auxiliary to the ma
tional guard. The president of the Unit
ed States is the commander in chief Of
the National Volunteer Reserve and the
governor of each state the commander
Of the reserve within his own common
wealth, thus fully carrying out the pro-
visions of the constitution.
The press without dissent has volun-
teered its cordial approval and co-opera-
tion in all sections of the country. The
governors of many states have already
given their enthusiastic approval. The
aid of the Grand Army of the Republic,
Of the Confederate and of all other vet
eran organizations. of the Sons of Vet
Grams and of all patriotic societies is
confidently depended upon to further
the movement, and each is invited to
become a recruiting office of the Ma
tional Volunteer Reserve
This invitation is also extended to
every fraternal and labor organization
and is made individually to every loyal
man to rally around the flag.
The military committee of the Ma
tional Volunteer Reserve pledge them
selves faithfully to transmit to the au.

have been secured at Broadway, New

mittee of the military committee

President Washington, in speaking
Of the movement, said:
IF we can secure an enrolment
throughout the country of volunteers,
it should take away any existing uncer-
tainty in the minds of foreigners as to
the loyalty Of our people. The chief OBJ
jects for starting the movement just
now are to make this an opportunity for
a reunion both of the old soldiers and
the people of all sections of the country.
1t is peace rather than war measure.
1t will discourage European sympathy
on the wrong side in existing troubles
and will make each citizen who enrolls
himself feel that he is closer to and a
more intimate part of the government,
and it will prove the character and
quality of his citizenship. The move
ment is absolutely devoid of politics. 1t
is means for the people to declare
their loyalty to the president of the
Union, whoever he may be, at any
time. The plan outlined has already
been before the war and navy depart
ments and the executive and has met
with their full approval. 1t is hoped to
complete the movement within the next
ten days. "
Letters are pouring in from famous
soldiers and eminent citizens from all
parts Of the country, approving and en-
couraging the movement.
