CLEARS WAY FOR SETTLEMENT.

In conflict which is practically be-
tween the great combination controlling
the output of anthracite coal and the
miners the sympathy of the public is
on the side of the miners But there
are those who assert in behalf of the
coal corporations that the demands of
the miners do not justify this extensive
strike, and that the aim of the move
ment is to make to the world an exhibit
tion of the strength and discipline of
the United Mine Workers Association.
If this strike had its origin, as pretend
ed, in nothing more than pitiful ambi-
display of their power the criminality of
the movement could not be too severely
denounced. But it is grossly absurd to
assume that the miners are so stupid
and so wanting in regard for the welfare
of their families as to throw down their
picks and shovels at the mere nod of
their leaders, without having any sub
stantial ground of compaint
The offer of the president of the
United Mine Workers to step aside
whilst the nine railroad companies
which control anthracite output and
transportation shall settle the grievances
complained of by the miners by arbitra-
tion with the direct representatives of
the miners themselves is very fair one
1t recognizes the real principals in the
dispute on one side and the other, and
certainly clears the way for settlement.

Two years ago Teddy Edwards of
Boston started out on New Years

and then collapsed and went to a hos

success. The fact that he travelled
such a distance on a bicycle in one
year, century fashion, is an interest
ing commentary on the development Of
the machine and man in his use of it.

give some assurance of permanent peace
and good will between the operators and
their employees.
One of the most exasperating fea-
lures of this strike is the apparent in
difference of the companies to its con-
tinuance. Public sympathy is largely
with the men on strike, and will remain
with them as long as they maintain law
and order, as they have up to this time
in the Wyoming and Lackawanna
valleys.
President Mitchell has removed the
principal cause heretofore advanced by
the operators as an obstacle to negotia-
tions. He does not ask the operators to
recognize him or the organization he
represents, but urges them to treat di
rect with committees of their own en-
ployes. His suggestion that the confer
ences between the several companies
and committees of their respective en-
ployes be held simultaneously certainly
is not unreasonable, and the reasons he
gives for such suggestion are sensible.
The question is what will the coal com
panies do?-Wilkesbarr Record.

their annual appearance last evening at

that at each successive trip Of this fa-

seats have been few and far between.
1t follows that an attraction able to fill
that portion of the theatre is one of
intrinsic merit The musical portion
was practically strong. The monologue

have been exceedingly pleasant to those

SPIRIT OF FAIRNESS SHOWN.

Editorial Expressions on PRESIDENT Mil
chelps Latest Proposition.
SPIRIT OF FAIRNESS SHOWN.
Mine Workers organization to official
recognition by the mine operators, Presi-
dent Mitchell has shown spirit of fair
ness which should be met in like spirit
Before the great coal strike was declared
some of the operators expressed their
Willingness to treat with their own EN-
ployes, while others protested that no
differences existed between them and
their men. But all who have been found
refused absolutely to confer with the
representatives of the miners union. 1t
was not until it appeared impossible to
arrange any general plan of conference
between employers and men that the
miners quit work.
In order to hasten arbitration of the
questions in dispute, President Mitchell
has yielded a point which the miners
considered essential to their cause. In
surrendering that right the miners have
made a very material concession in
order to bring about settlement. The
mine owners can afford to meet them
half way.
President Mitchell shows that nine
railroad companies practically control
the anthracite coal fields. These nine
railroad companies produce nearly three
fourths of all the hard coal mined, and
they are the sole carriers to tdewater
of all the anthracite coal mined in Penn
sylvania. They hold at their absolute
mercy the independent operators, who
for self-preservation must adjust their
scale of wages and charges to the sched-
ule fixed by the railroad companies
For that reason, President Mitchell
declares, no arbitration can be conclu-
sive in which the railroad companies do
not join.
In order to reach a peaceful agreement
he has presented to the presidents of
these companies direct proposal, which
they cannot affort to ignore if they have
any desire to find permanent solution
of their disagreement with the miners
He has addressed the presidents of these
companies by name, so that there may
be no misunderstanding about his
honesty of purpose to bring his proposal
to their personal notice. What good
reason can the railroad companies have
for rejecting the OvprtnreS for arhi-
tration?-Phila. North American.

Nine. WI Ting Fang, the wife Of the
Chinese minister to Washington, seems
to be sort of oriental new woman.
She is now an expert poker player and
is said to be threatening to emulate her
husbands example by learning to ride
the bicycle. The venerable old mink
who is known to fame as the dowager
empress of China would probably in
dulge in varied assortment of fits If
she could see the wife of one of her
most prominent diplomats careering
through the crowded streets mounted
upon a bicycle. There would of course
be added horror If the newly emanci-
pated female should conclude to "go

machine.

STRIKE WRONGLY DIRECTED.

The curious manifesto of Mr.. Mitchell
to, or against, the coal-carrying rail
roads is a very symptomatic incident.
Having begun with strike against the
operators of coal mines, he now seems
to abandon that ground, and to confess
that it is not in the power of the opera
tors, upon whom the original demands
were made, to meet those demands-that
they are "fellow-sufferers" with the
men in their employ. This comes near
to confession that the strike was
wrongly directed in the beginning, and
also to a confession that, upon the pres
ent lines, is foredoomed to failure.-New
York Times.

BEST OF THE ARGUMENT.

The men who have least cause for
complaint are those of the Philadelphia
and Reading Coal and Iron Company.
The Reading officials were certain that
not single miner would go out, and yet
in their colieries around Shenandoah
the men have gone out. There was a
riot there, and then the troops were
modified. There was no reason why,
under the protection of these troops, all
of these Shenandoah collieries should
not have opened up yesterday morning,
if the men were inclined to work, but
they did not do so. The failure of the
men to report shows disposition on
their part to stand by the union and
make the strike general throughout the
anthracite regions.
1t must be said that to certain
extent that President Mitchell, of the
United Mine Workers of America, has
the best of the argument. In a state
ment signed by him he advocates the
principle of arbitration, but he declares
that even arbitration would not be
necessary if the anthracite mine owners
would only do what the mine owners of
the bituminous regions of Pennsylvania
and of the West do. He tells how these
operators and operatives get together
once year and fix the rate without fric-
ton, and he says that If the anthracite
owners would but only take lesson
from the bituminous operators all would
be well.-Phila. Inquirer.

To Revive the Springfield Meet.

There is to be monster Springfield
tournament this season, one of the old
kind, such as used to be carried out
on the famous Hampden park track.
1t will conform to modern style and
the races will be run on the new six
lap track completed here by Jack
Prince.
There will be week of racing, with
good purses, amateur and professional
sprint races and six day race to be
run with motor pace one hour daily.
The latter contest will be on the lines
of the Golden Wheel race, run so sue
cessfully at Charles River park early
in July. Three men will compete each
paced by two fast motor teams. The
competitors for this contest are now
being selected. Overtures have been
made to Johnnie Nelson, the winner
of the Boston Golden Wheel race, and
should Nelson sign his competitors may
be Burns Pierce and Harry Caldwell,
both of whom are very popular in this
city.
In this tournament the races will be
run at night. One hour Of amateur
and professional sprint racing will pre-
cede the paced event.
OF old the Springfield tournament ex-
tended over three days and the heats
We're run on the first day. Manager
Prince believes that the entries for this
week of racing will be numerous
enough to cause the running of the
heats Of each nights racing during the
afternoon of that day. The interest in
the big tournament locally rivals any
thing ever known in Springfield in the
great days when Hendee, Tyler, San
ger and Zimmerman We're stars. Prince
intends that this week of racing shall
inaugurate new order of cycle racing
In Springfield
