sult-Union Official Statement.
Hazleton, Pa, Oct 1.-The action Of
the Reading company in directly notify
ing its men through posters indicates
that the operators will not recede from
their position of refusal to recognize
the union. What President Mitchell's
first move will be in view of this new
phase of the situation is not known.
'The operators are evidently not tax
ing me into consideration" he said"
''but they will wish they had" Dis
cussing the question of a compromise,
the nationl president said it ould de-
pend upon circumstances whether a
compromise would be considered. When
asked If the amount of the increase
would be one Of the circumstances, he
said it would be a consideration.
Scranton, Pa, Oct. 1.-The offer of
the Reading of an increase in wages of
the miners was practically discounted
before 1t was made known by the fol-
lowing which was issued Saturday
night from the headquarters of district
No. 1, of the United Mine Workers:
sTo the General Public: We, the ex-
ecutive board of district No. l, United
Mine Workers of America, having seen
reports in the public press that the coal
combine had decided to give an ad-
vance of 10 per cent in wages and on
all work, and wishes to settle the strike
on that basis, desire to warn
all mine workers against returning to
work under any condition which may
be offered unless such action be decided
in convention of representatives Of
all anthracite miners. Our opinion In
case such an advance be offered is that
1t will not be sufficient TO end the
strike, as the advance cannot be com
puted on all work in the district be-
cause there is not fixed price on each
kind Of work, the price being fixed by
the mine foreman after the work has
been done.
eve demand fixed price on all
kinds of work upon which an advance
NAV be figured, otherwise the miner
would lose the advance on about one
eighth of his work We also feel that
we cannot consistently be asked to
withdraw our demands for the fulfill
ment of the law of Pennsylvania that we
be paid semi-monthly and have the
right to buy our powder where wewish
or have the price reduced to 81 per key.
which will give the company Dor 60
per cent. per week on their investment.
eve also ask that the law be COM
piled with in that all coal be weighed
at the legal rate of ,24O pounds 10 the
ton, ana that we be presented in each
breaker by check Neighman to see
that we get correct hight and that
the dockage for refuse \ just. In fact,
the diversity of conditions which we
cover In our scales and the intrlcacies
of the various questions at issue makes
It an impossibility to settle the vexed
questions except by joint conference
OF miners and operators or by board
of arbitration, who shall receive facts
and evidence from the miners and ope-
rators and decide on the merits of each
grievance"

ment was had by means of these observa-


tions.
There can be no legitimate dispute over
a matter which can be as readily settled
as this. The requirements OF the present
situation are nothing more than the de-
failing of small party, headed by some
men competent to make proper solar and
stellar observations, to re-establish the
destroyed boundary monuments in the vi
cinity of the Mount Baker mines. II this
work is done in a painstaking manner by
competent men, there is no reason wh%
the results should be questioned by the
Canadians. If they are not convinced OF
the accuracy OF the line thus established
they can send a man of their own to verb
fy the line II the two fail to agree. then
there may be a possibility OF boundary
dispute which would require mixed sur
veying commission to settle. But there
seems no reason why such dispute
should arise 1t Is mere matter Of scien-
tiac observation. involving no technical
difficulties of any Importance, and no
reason exists at the present time why an
international matter should be made of
It; although a real reason does exist why
the government should bestir itself and do
the little required to forestall and pre-
vent international complications which
may possibly arise IL the matter is neg
lected.
The state department is not really called
upon TO do anything. The interior depart
meHt 1t would seem. is competent to deal
with the matter in its present shape An
that need be done by this government is
to re-estabish monuments. their position
to be determined by observations. II re-
will suffice for all the requirements of
the miners In the district. and of the Gus
toms officials as we'll The absence of the
monuments. or at least the failure to find
them, leaves the locators of mineral
claims in the DISTRICT in doubt whether
their mines lie in Canadian or American
territory. The fact that there are two
routes into the district. one approaching 1t
through Canadian and the other through
American territory, renders certain con-
flicts of jurisdiction between the customs
officers of the two countries.
The matter is so extremely simple. the
solution so inexpensive and easy, that
should not be taken up at the earliest
practicable moment in the spring, before
a real international controversy IL precipi-
tated by a possible conflict of Jurisdiction
