COLORADO'S COAL STRIKE.
The Men Are Out and the Strike
General.

LAFAYETTE, Col, January 19.-At a
joint meeting of the four district coal min
ers' unions, comprising Marshall, Louisville,
Erie and Lafayette, held here, resolutions
were unanimously adopted demanding the
following prices: For shooting. loading and
mining coal in the Lafayette district, 45
cents per ton after machines in rooms ard
80 cents per ton in pillars; 10 cents per ton
for p:ckwork in room, to cents per ton pick
work in pillars.
All of the men in all of the mines eX-
tending to the country banks have been or
dered out. This practically closes down the
entire northern Colorado coal fields. and
leaves about 1,20o men idle. a meeting of
coal mine operators will be held in Denver
today to discuss the situation.
DENVER, Col, January 19-If the coal
miners in the northern coal fields should
hold out for their demands it is probable
that the strike will be long continued. The
operators are even more determined than
the miners, and declare they will hold out
a year if necessary.
The operators claim they were not con-
suited by the miners before they declared
the strike, and there is consequntly hard
feelings among the operators because of
this action upon the part of the men. The
operators assert that the coal mined in the
district where the strike has been declared
is of an inferior grade and can be sold to
manufacturers only. The operators claim
that it would be impossible to pay the
miners higher wages for mining this coal.

THE ECKlNGTON ROAD
Contractor saxton Estimating for the Un-
derground Electric System.
Plans of the Management of the Road
"A Contemplated BOnd Issue
to. Provide Funds.

Mr.. Edmund Saxton, the contractor for
railroad construction, who is now engaged
in doing the street work IN connection with
the installation of the underground electric
system Oh the Pennsylvania avenue and
1ith street lines of the Capital Traction
railroad, is going over the line of the Eek
ington and Soldiers Home street railway
for the purpose of making an estimate of
the cost of putting the underground cleo
trio system on this line.
He has been invited to do this by Mr. O.
b. Crosby, who is a member Of the syndi-
cate that some months ago acquired the
controlling interest in this road, as well as
in other street railroads Mr.. SaXton will
submit an estimate CT the cost of the work
1t Is thought that the installation OF the
underground system on the Eckington road
within the limits of the city and the i'm
prOvement of the overhead trolley section
of the road, which extends beyond the city
limits, will involve an expenditure of over
million dollars. -.
The Underground system.
Mr.. Crosby states that 1t is the intention
Of those now controlling this property to
operate all the city lines of the road by the
underground system. AS is well known, the
line of this road extends from 18th and G
streets down the latter street to 9Th, and
thence out New York avenue to the bounds
of the city, where the balance of the line
out through lexington and 18th street east
to Brookland is operated by the overhead
trolley.
The underground system will be put
down OH what is known as the G street
line, and also along the North Capitol
street line and along c and D streets
northeast.
1t is stated to be the intention to begin
the work of installing this new system as
soon as the legislation which has hccn
asked from Congress has been obtained.
A bill! is now pending providing for the
consolidation of the lexington and Belt
railroads and the Washington and Mary
land. a road which extends out Rhode Is
land avenue extended from 4th street east
to the District line and that portion of the
Columbia and Maryland road which ex-
tends from the District line to Lakeland.
Nd. When these properties are united it
Is the purpose to issue bonds secured by
mortgage on the entire property and
with the money thus secured to equip the
city lines with the underground system
and perfect that portion outside the city
bounds which is to be operated by the
overhead trolley.

that Mr.. Gladstone's health causes the

of fortifying his strength as anticipated"
The news placards of the Pail Mall Ga

made at No. Whitehall court s. W., the

SILENT SPINDLES,
Employers and Employees Maintain a
Waiting Attitude.

BOSTON, January 19.-The news from
the New England cotton manufacturing
centers-New Bedford, Biddeford and Lew
iston-in which strikes are in progress was
to the effect that everything was quiet.
Secretary Hart of the New Bedford Union
says he looks for no possible change for at
least two weeks. and it is thought unlikely
that the situation in the smaller places
will be altered until action is taken in New
Bedford. AT the latter point today small
crowds of operatives and sympathizors
gathered on number of streets in the vi
cinty Of the mills at the hour the ma
cninerys was usually started, but none of
the gates were opened, and there was no
sign of a demonstration of any sort. At
Biddeford both sides were still maintaining
waiting attitude, each determined not to
yield any ground Until a mutual under
standing of some sort Is brought about.
The movement for the better organization
of the operatives in both cities is progress
ing steadily. A committee of the York mill
(Saco) employees will confer with the agen:
of that corporation today.
