WHAT THE CAR WHEELS SANG.

With a scream OF the whistle our farewell
said,
And into the blackness Of night we sped
! On and on
| To meet the dawn,
Under the sky where the stars burned red:
Past hills that stood where the shows
were shed.
Ghostly white as the shrouded dead;
| To meet the dawn;
True hand at the throttle and hope aheaAl
The steel rails ringing
The swift wheels singing:
To kith and kin. o hearts that roam
In vine-wreathed cot, and marble dome.
Over the world we bear you home!
Whlrled through the dark where the black
steed drives
Are Joys and sorrows OF human lives;
| Laughter and weeping,
And children sleeping
On the breasts Of glad mothers: and visit
full wives
rhe clank of chains and the grip Of gives!
To meet the dawn
Where Light the soul Of the Darkness
shrives!
The steel rails ringing
The mad wheels singing:
ITO gloam or gadness, hearts that
roam
To Garkened dwelling or marble dome
Over the world we bear you homer
There are hearts that listen with hope and
fear
for the signal thrill OF the engineer;
That throb and thrill
At that signal shrill;
Does 1t bring them the rose or the rue
to wear?
The song the sigh, or the burning tear?
On and on
To meet the dawn
The black night dies. and the hills stand
clear!
What are you bringing,
oh swift wheels singing
D daisied meadow and dewsweet loam?'
"The hearts that hunger-the hearts that
roam
over the I'D we bear them home!"
Old friends. old lovers, in rapture wild
Kiss of the mother and clasp Of the child.
The night Is gone
We have met the dawn;
Never so gladly the sweet sun smiled
Never the spirit OF night beguiled
The hand so true,
That the throttle knew
Bearing the burden of mother and child
on and on
To the joy O. the dawn!
With ever that song TO the hearts that
roam
ITO vine-wreathed cot and marble dome
Over the world We bear you home'

OPERATORS WAITING
ON

Philadelphia, Oct. G.-Yesterday's
decision of the individual coal operat-
ors to offer Il ten per cent. increase in
wages to the striking mine workers is
regarded throughout the anthracite
mining region ms the beginning of the
end of the strike. 1t is fully believed
that the few operators who have not
yet expressed their intention on the
subject will fall in line with the 9th
ers and grant the increase.
1t is the general opinion that n great
majority of the striking mine workers
will be satisfied TO accept the offer
and return To work. but they express
the determination to await the decision
of President Mitchell OF the United
Mine Workers.
Mr.. Mitchell win give no indication
of his probable action in the matter
beyond his oft-rcpeated assertion that
the men themselves must decide in
convention all questions bearing on II
settlement of the differences with Op-
orators.
The opinion prevails that he will
wait until every operator expresses II
Willingness to grant an increase.

Minneapolis, Oct. G.-Ncarly half
the flour mills operating in Minneapo-
lis will close tonight for an indefinite
length of time. The Washburn-Cros
10y and the pillsbury Milling companies
say that sixty per cent. of their mills
will close. and 1t is also reported that
the Consolidated Milling Company will
discontinue operations. although 1t is
not learned how many mills viii be
affected.
The officials say the shut down is
due to the shortage in the demand for
flour. The foreign trade. II is declar-
ed, is practically dead, while The pres
cut stock of the mills will he sufficient
to supply the domestic trade for some
time to come. 1t is cOntcuded gener-
ally that the coming election and polit
ical influence have to some extent
brought about the sudden decline in
demand. and it is probable that none
of the, mills will resume operations IN

STRIKE ID

Hazelton, Pa, Oct. IA conference
which is believed to mark the begin
ming of the end of the anthracite coal
miners strike. which enters upon lis
fourth week tomorrow. was held at the
headquarters of the United Mine
Workers here this afternoon. Those
present besides President Mitchell,
We're Fred Dilcher of Ohio, a member
of the executive board. and Presidents
7. ID. Nichols of District No. !. Lack
awanna and Wyoming valleys: james
Duffy, District No. I. Lchigh valley:
John Fahey, District No. .. Schuykill
valley.
Although no information was given
out, it is known that the question of
issuing n call for II joint convention
was the princiI nj matter discussed. The
coming convention will he held at
Scranton unless something unforeseen
sllould arise between now and the time
of the issuing of the call. Besides tax
ing up the matter of Il convention. it
is understood that the question of rep
resentution was also considered. The
three district presidents made full re-
ports as to the conditions ms they now
exist in the respective districts.
President Mitchell. after the confer
ence, said he would have something to
shy lo-llofroW Ill regard 10 the COnVPn
tion. If the date has been fixed, only
Mr.. Mitchell and his colleagues know
IL.
OF course, the principal matter 10
come before the miners Will be the ac-
ceptance or rejection of the ten per
cent. increase offered by most of the
operators. President Mitchell said to-
day that not one official of the mine
workers will take q hand in any action
the convention might take, as the
men must themselves settle everything
that comes before them. The belief Is
general that the miners will accept the
increase.
Most of the mine owners who have
granted the wage concession do no
specify in their notices how long the
advance shall remain In force, and It
is not unlikely that an attempt will be
made by the miners in convention To
open negotiations looking to n conces-
sion in the matter. President Mitchell
and the other leaders are strong adyo-
cntes of an annual wage scheme. sim
ilar to that in force In the bituminous
coal fields. If this proposition aud thai
relating to the abolition of the slid
Ing scale are brought before the con
%Nention, and the negotiations with the
mine operators are opened. It might
considerably delay the settlement of
the strike.
