1t is certainly unfortunate that
the strike of Pennsylvania coal
miners should come at the present
time when it is sure to become
complicated with politics, and it is
probably true that Democratic pol
iticians have done what they could
to bring on the strike now in the
hopes that they may derive parti-
san benefit from it. But that is
not the main question. The strike
has been declared, and if the con-
ditions are as represented to be on
good authority, it will be the earn
est hope of Americans who look
upon the strike without prejudice
that the miners will win their fight
and that the conditions which now
exist will be modified in accordance
with the American principle that
an honest days work deserves an
honest days pay.

How about the way in which the

about the unanimous action of the

Saturday? We stand vindicateds :
