GREAT STRIKE OF
COAL MINERS

Indianapolis. Ind. Sept. lin my
opinion there will he Il strike in the an
thracitc region of Pennsylvania. and II
will be the biggest that the United
States has ever known" said President
John Mitchell of the United Mine
Workers of America to-day.
We have formulated our demands
for an advance of about twenty per
cent. in wages and the removal of GER
tain conditions that exist in the an
thracitc region. Principal among
these is that the operators in dealing
with the miners allow $500 pounds To
Il ton. and in selling coal, sell 1000
pounds for a ton.
''If The strike Is ordered, | believe
that 1l0OOO men will come out. OF
course, ! do not mean that these men
will lay down their tools at once, but
II strike spirit is like a war spirit. 1t
grows continuously. and when once
part of the men are out in an effort 10
better their condition, the others will
quickly follow.
Il do not know just what percentage
of the anthracite miners are in the

New York, Aug. I.-A special to
the Herald from Washington says:
All arrangements have been prac-
tically perfected by the Taft commits
sion for the establishment of civil gov
ernment in the Philippines.
The commission will assume Sep
tember 1st all the functions which
properly belong to the Legislative
branch of the government. 1t Is not
proposed that 1t be in supreme control.
Major General Macarthur will be the
executive of the islands, and the com

executive and legislative branches in
the United States are on the same
plane.
The civil government will not
be established except in thos/
towns where the military nj
thorities are satisfied there Is
no danger of insurrection. The com
mittee and the military will work to-
gether to propitiate the natives and In
duce them to return to their peaceful
avocations. For the suppression of
those insurgents who continue In arms,
1t Is understood measures will be TAX
en- as soon ms the dry season begins.
General Macarthur will soon have Il
force of nearly 10000 effective men.
