Philadelphia, Sept. 17.-Reports
from the anthracite coal fields of this
state indicate that the tie up caused
by the strike for higher wages of
more than 10000 mine workers is at
least us complete as the leaders Of the
United Mine Workers OF Ametica, the
organization back ,of e the strike,
claimed, Mt, any time. Companies and
individuals owning mines who had
claimed that their workings would OPP

apparently reckoned without accurate

SOUTH SIDE TIED UP.
Reports of the Great Strike as Received
from Hnxleton,


Hazleton, Pa, Sept. 1.-THE great
anthracite strike was begun Monday
throughout the entire hard coal region
Of Pennsylvania. The launching of the
strike in this district was attended by
varying success. With the exception
Of Coxe's colliery at Beaver Meadow
the entire territory known as the south
side, which includes about twelve min
ing towns, is completely tied up. This
territory Is strongly organized, which
accounts for the general suspension Of
work.
On the north side, which takes In
ten towns, and which Is not well or
ganized, the conditions at an early
hour were almost tile reverse Of those
prevailing on the south side. In that
territory nearly every colliery started
up but only one operating.wa able
to. muster full complement of men.
Several Of the collieries, after starting
work, had to suspend because of the
lack Of men. Up,to this writing there
has not beenia single case Of violence
reported. Many Of the mines that have
started short handed will probably
shut down during the day.
The miners from McAddo IRE trying
hard to get the men at Coleraine to
quit, and committee was sent there
before starting time for that purpose.
There was some hesitation on the part
of lot Of the Coleraine men, but
when the whistle blew at O'Clock
| they marched into the mines. The col
lierles at that place are working short
handed, however.
The only mines on the north side
which started with the full number OF
men were Lattimer, HARDWOOD and
Pond Creek. The officials of these
mines had notified their employees thai
If they did not report for duty the op

In Colorado 1t is not necessary that
judges of county courts shall be lawyers.
The result has been that decisions of
such tribunals, when appealed, are
reversed in almost half the cases.
It is found that in nearly all cases
county courts get at the equity all right
but err. as to technicalities, and it is
suspected that more or less unscrupul-
GUS lawyers lay traps to bring about
just such results. -

The Creston Advertiser finds that
about 100000 has gone out of that
town in the last eighteen months to be
invested in mining specuiations, and
most Of it was lost. The Advertiser
finds there is complaint of having no
avenues of profitable home investment
and proceeds to name some enterprises
that would be prof table in Creston. II
suggests canning factory, Touring
mill, system of resorts connected by
electric lines, an interurban line to
Macksburg and Des Moines, an annual
fair and few other things it believes
would be profitable.
Most people are already aware that
investments in home enterprises are
safest and most likely to yield satisfac-
tory returns. The trouble down at
Creston is probably due to the lack Of
enterprise on ths part of those who
should so shape public improvements

The Great Coal Miners STRIKE.

The Great Coal Miners Strike.
Investigation is bring ing to light con-
ditions in the anthracite coal regions
which are blot upon civilization. The
trusts are claiming human beings to a
toll whose recompense is not sufficient
to support wage Gamer and his fam
lily. Hundreds of thousands of men,
women and children are in worse con-
dition than any equal number of slaves
that were ever owned and worked on
this continent. With such conditions
prevailing in any part of our country,
to wage wars in distant lands upon q
foreign people whom we sought out in
their homes with bayonet and rapid fire
guns, is an exhibition of hyprocritical
contempt for the mass of mankind
which is as inhuman as it is irrational.
