COAL STRIKE LOOKED FOR.
WHAT SENATOR HANNA'S MANA

Pittsburg, Pa, Jan. "A general
strike in the bituminous coal region is
looked for on April 1st, at the close
of the term of the interstate agree
ment between the miners and opera
tors. This strike can be averted only
by the miners and operators of the
competitive field reaching an AMIGA
bic agreement at the convention TO be
held In this city next week. a report
ed interview with Operator Thomas
Young, manager of the Hanna Coal in
terests, is as follows:
1T Is the intention Of the operators
to reduce the mining scale of wages.
The operators cannot afford to main
tain the present rate. The miners want
higher rate, and the operators claim
reduction must be made. You can
readily see the miners and operators
are far apart. There seems to be little
chance of getting together. The opera
tors do not see how they can main
tain the present scale. Coal Is now be-
ing sold below cost. The miners in
this district comprising four States, are
we'll paid, If they could work full time
They have done pretty we'll during the
past year. In fact they have made
more money than the operators.
THE operators in this district pay
so much more for mining than the
operators in the West Virginia District
that they are not able to compete with
them. We lose business right along for
the reason that we cannot meet the
competition. One result of the strikes
will be an advance in the price of coal.
do not anticipate n coal famine, for
the reason TINT coal can be obtained
from twenty different fields. The inevi-
table result of the strike will be that
the operators will win. The operators
do not look for trouble before April

QUAY'S BUSY DAY.
Senator Quay spent a very busy day
directing his canvas from the residence
CT ex-senator j. Donald Cameron, who
came all the way from England to
help his former colleague. Senator Boies
Penrose. Congressman Bingham and
other members of the Pennsylvania
delegation in Congress. are on the
ground In Quays interest. The Sena-
tors headquarters at the Lochiel Ho-
tel. in charge OF Stale Chairman Ell
kins. were crowded all day with politi-
cal workers from all over the State. A
strong demonstration was held to-
night by the Quay people.
Senator'S Martin. Magee and other
ieadres, presumably opposed to Quay's
reelection, are expected to have con-
ference before morning to determine on
@ line of policy relative to the Senate
rial caucus. If they stay away from
the meeting the Quay people are fear
full they cannot muster enough votes
to make a nomination.
The House Democrats appointed n
committee at their caucus tonight to
confer with the independent Republic
cans on the fusion movement to organ
ize the House against Quay. The lead
ers of these elements had a confer
ence this afternoon on this question and
failed to reach an agreement The
Democrats. offered to furnish seventy
four votes. but the independents could
not muster enough to increase the num-
Der to 104, which was necessary to a
successful fusion.
Both sides admit that there are no
prospects of a successful combination
between the Democrats and indepen-
dents on the Speakershp.

Santiago, Cuba, Jan. 2.-An order has
been received from Havana, which, If
enforced. will mean, in the Judgment of
the commercial classes here. serious
Injury to the province. This is q
direction to transmit the entire GUS
toms receipts each week to Havana.
Compliance with such instructions
would involve the abandonment of
many necessary public improvements.
especially in the matter OF roads and
water works.
Since the American occupation began
these funds have been used for such
purposes and have been the principal
means of meeting the necessary expen-
ditures. The Heraldo says that to carry
this order out would rob ten thousand
Cubans of employment, most of whom
would probably take to the hills and
become bandits, having no other re-
cource. Robert u. MIason.s British
Consul at'Santiago. says 1t was Spains
practice of monetary Capitalization
which caused most of her troubles in
Cuba.
Gen. Leonard Wood, United States
Iniiltary governor of the department,
on being asked to express an opinion
respecting the order. declined to be in
tervlewed; but it is reported that, with
out offering any criticism of the policy
which dictates the order, he has shown

done in the province. The local taxa
ton fund is barely sufficient to meet
the expenses of the city. There is
nothing over for important improve

IAvERnILL'S 'NEW MAYOR
He Will Defend and Support Prin-
cip|es of Socialism.
Claims TINT Human Happiness ~
Possible OF Attainment only
Through tho Establishment of the
cooperative Commonwealth.
tBy Telegraph to vlrgln,an-prot.,


Haverhin, Mass, January John
c. Chase, elected on n. Socialstlc plat
form, took the oath of Office as Mayor
of Haverhill to-day. In his inaugural
address, Mr.. Chase assured the mem
bers of the city government and the
people that every atom of power pos
sessed by the Mayor will be exercised
in the defense and support of the prin-
ciples of Socialism, in so far as they
may be applicable to Il municipality"
The Mayor then referred to the desir-
ability of preserving equal rights upon
which 1.-The liberty and happiness of
every man, woman and child, are condi-
toned" and asserted that these are
possible of attainment only through
the establishment of the cooperative
commonwealth"
Continuing, Mayor Chase said:
II believe that every. power the mu-
nicipality possesses should be placed
at the disposal of the people In lie
interest OF civilization. With That aim
in view, / submit the following speci-
fc recomm ldation:
''Flrst--THe passage of an order es-
tablishing the minimum wage for
street employees at 81 for eight hours
work.
decentralization wages and conditions
TO prevail in all brick and stone ma
sons work performed under the dlrec-
ton of the street department.
"Third-All city printing to bear the
union label"
The Mayor then took up the subject
Of the unemployed. which, he said. had
developed from the displacement OF
labor by machinery and the concentra-
Of tnI "a
he said. no municipality could solve, as
it had become a national and inter-
national one. Yet, he said, some little
relief at least can be Afforded by this
city government. ]. therefore, COM
mend:
First That you proceed to secure n
tract OF land suitable for the raising of
unemployed as desire be permitted to
use said land, the city to furnish pro-
per seeds and tools.
Second. The enlargement of the fuel
yard at the city farm to such proper
lions as will permit all who desire to
earn by their labor such fuel as they
may require.
Third. The appropriation of such
an amount Of money as circumstances
| may warrant to be used In providing
employment directly upon public works
not in competition with the regular en-
ployes OF the city. but upon specia
works. two kinds of which I herewith
suggest: First. improvement of TIL,
park system: second, construction OF {
| system of bicycle paths through al
principal thoroughfares."
Mayor Chase condemned the system
OF contracting with the lowest bidder
| for city work, and said the system
should not be tolerated. He said:
'LCa- bids mean cheap work CheaI
work means cheap men and low wage.
and low wages lower the standard o
citizenship The city should perform
It's own work and furnish its owl
material, giving employment to its citi
zens."
