President NJ. d. Ratchford of the United

" satisfied with the work Of the conven-
ton. He said: Il consider the establish
ruent Of an eight-hour day for the miners
one of the greatest labor victories of the
century II is, in my estimation, of far
more Importance that the 1O-cent per
ton advance We are bound to consider
the conditions of the coal industry as ex-
isting and perhaps. when we meet in an
nual convention next year the condition
may be such that the advantage may be
lost The uniform day of eight hours
work and forty-eight hours for the week,
will stand as one of the greatest achieve
ments in the history of the miners or any
other organization. 1t may be that the
new scale is not all that the miners IN
some of the district have desired, but as
a whole / consider it as eminently salts
factory"
Col. w. p. Rend Of Chicago who owns
and operates coal mines in Pennsylvania,

guns, six for their heavy carriages, and
three for spare wheels and stores. The
ammunition Is carried in Ieather-covered
boxes on the backs of mules or ponies, as
in the case Of a mountain battery. Theoret-
ically the battery can be brought into ac-
ton in about six minutes, but the risks
are so many that some persons who are
considered war-wise declare that no Off
Ger would dare to dismount his guns in the
vicinity of an enemy.

Frame Spinners at the Iron Works
Mill Making n Stubborn Contest.
Fall River, Mass, Jan. 26.-Although
the striking frame spinners at the iron
works mill have no union and are not
in the regular labor unions of this city
they are making a fight which bids far
to be a stubborn one. They succeeded in
getting some of the operatives out of No
l mill, thus making the strike include and
affect three of the four mills operated by
the strike.
The strikers at the Sycamore mills say
their places have been partially filled by
help from the other mills, but they refused
to go 10 work to-day. They claimed the
pay was reduced about 10 per cent, and
besides this the speed of the machinery
was increased. They Informed the mill
authorities to-day that if the fast pulleys
are removed they will accept the reduc-
ton.
The loom fiXers have decided to support
their brethren in New Bedford by assess
ing each member % cents week.
This afternoon the card room operatives
at the King Phillip Mill met and devised
a plan whereby those locked out may re-
port and be paid.
Tonight the carders of the Granite mill
reported an excessive reduction in their
wages, in some cases as high as % per
cent. Secretary Jansey was instructed to
interview Agent Sove and ask that the
schedule be revised. The union will not ac-
cept the reduction as it now stands, and
will order a strike if the wages are not
revised

Deer.
From the Chicago Times-H Herald
A man on horse is twice a man. He
feels more secure. is Drawer, Is In every
way more formidable. European officers
know this. In clearing the streets OF Paris
only cavalry are used. We call out the
infantry of the militia and have to shoot
people. In Europe they use the fiat sword
held by mounted man. No unarmed
body of humanity will stand the impact
of horses. They melt before the charge
like snow. 1t Is the uncomfortable in
stinct to get out of the way, and to do Il
as soon as possible Some day we will
grow wiser this side of the Atlantic.
Just now we have fifty infantry companies
OF militia t. one of cavalry. Many of our
mintiamen are unable to pay for the keep
of horse, which Is expensive, even if the
man does the currying and bedding with
his own hands. Many others of them
would not know what to do with horse
If they had one. This Is bad but with

have never seen one that COCA pony could

that the horse generally carries more than
