Says They Failed to Treat En-
.plOyees Considerably.
Miners Will Be Power
less to Act
Until All Operators Grant the
Ten Per Cent Advance.

E=Hazleton, Pa, October 91.-When Pres
ident Mitchell Of the United Mine Work
es was asked tonight by a representative
of the Associated Press what he had to
say in regard to settlement of the an
thraoite coal miners strike, he said:
LAS there appears to be some DISPOSE
tion on the part of the public to place the
responsibility for the proIongation of the
strike on the shoulders of the mine work
ere. Speaking for them, want to say
that when the Scranton convention ac-
cepted the 10 per cent advance in wages,
providing the operators abolished the
sliding scale and guaranteed the payment
of the advance until April 1, the miners
had met the operators more than half
way. They had shown conclliatory spir-
1T and know OF no good reason why the
prop osition should not have been accept
ed by the operators.
''As a consequence, the responsibility
for the continuation Of the strike rests
solely upon the failure of the operators
to treat the proposition of their en-
ployes CONSIDERABLY. The public should
understand that unsatisfactory as is the
proposition of a operators who make the
reduction In the price of powder a part
of the advance of 10 per cent, that even
this proposition has not been offered
by a very large number OF the coal pro-
ducing companies In the anthracite re-
gion, and until all companies guaran-
tee the payment OF the 10 per cent ad-
vance above the rate of wages paid IN
Septem Der until April 1, according TO the
decision Of the Scranton convention, the
miners are powerless to act. want to
repeat again that there can be no partial
sectional settlement OF this strike.
''The large districts In the Lehigh re
gion that have refused to move at all
since the Scranton convention was held,
are Coke Bros. & CO., g. B. MarkIe &
Co., the Lehigh and Wilkesbarre Co.,
the Lehigh Coal and Navigation Co. and
large number of small companies.
There is also a considerable number OF
coal companies in the Laokawanna and
Wyoming regions that have not guaran-
teed the payment OF the ten per cent ad-
vance until April 1. The only district
that has accepted the terms OF the Scran-
ton convention In full, is No. 9, better
known as the SchuylkiIl district.
Companies which produce about 65
per cent OF a total production of the an
thracite coal fields have guaranteed the
payment of the ten per cent advance and
have abolished the sliding scale"
When Mr.. Mitchell was asked what he
would do if all the companies were to
post notices. he said:
''When all the companies have posted
notices then 1 will have something to
say"
When 1t was suggested that there might
be break in the ranks of the strikers If
the contest should continue much longer,
he said that not one man would go back
to the mines until they shall have been
Off cially notified to return.

RUSSIA WANTS NO LOAN.

St. Petersburg, October 21.-The official
Messenger makes the following an
nouncement:
Tin view of the reiterated false reports
appearing in foreign newspapers that
Russia is seeking to conclude a foreign
loan, the ministry of finance considers it
necessary to declare that the government
is not seeking to conclude loans Of any
kind. seeing that the current revenue
and the cash reserve fully suffice to
meet the ordinary expenditure as well as
the outlay entailed by events in the far
east"

THE END IN SIGHT.
Belief That This Week VIII See settIe-
ment of Coal Strike.

Wilkesbarres Pa, October 2I.--Yhe
general belief here is that the coming
week viii see the windup of the strike.
The strikers do not admit this openly,
but it is the feeling that the lockout can
not be continued much longer. Both
sides are expected to make concessions.
The operators say they have none to
make, but under certain pressure, they
are expected to make them nevertheless.
The politicians have had their say in the
negotiations looking toward settlement
ana now the sales agents for the big coal
companies ana the retail dealers in the
big cities are taking hand. They are
writing and telegraphing every day to
the coal companies that unless some
thing is done very soon to bring the strike
to an end and an effort made to get
some hard coal on the market at sale
able figures, the anthracite trade viii
be demoral1zed for years to come and
some of it win be lost forever.
One sales agent writes.
Zone of my largest customers tells me
that consumers are getting to like btu
minous coal and they think they viii
keep on using it,
1t is such reminders that makes the
operators just as anxious to settle the
strike as the miners. But the strikers
must have the biggest concession and
there is every reason to believe that they
will do it before the week is out
Many OF the miners out on strike argue
this way;
''Let US accept the latest offer of com
panIes and settle the powder question
later on. Ii we return to work we are
sure to get an increase over the wages

New York, October Ex-Governor
Roosevelt spent today at his home at
Oyster Bay, quietly resting from his
labors after his trip through the west.
The Governor is suffering from his
throat somewhat, but not to such a great
extent as was feared. The strain on
on the vocal cords hau strengthened
them after making them sore and the
Governor voice is now in far better con-
dition than after less work during the
state campaign.
Governor Roosevelt leaves Oyster Bay
tomorrow morning. He will go direct to
New York and then Will commence his
last tour of the campaign.

The Trusts and Protection.

a commercial traveller in the agri.
cultural implement line, who has Just
made a touI Of the willamette valley,
reports the farmers generally as very
much discouraged. They can get only
low price for their wheat, and com.
plain that the price of about everything
they have to buy, notably harvesting
machinery and agricultural implements
OF all kinds, is unreasonably high. They
attribute the high prices to the trusts
and protective tariff, which work to-
gether for the benefit Of the manufact-
urers and the ruin of the farmer, who
gets no protection, and when they have
chance their votes will express their
ideas on this combination.-Tbe Ore

THE Carnegie-Frick company has paid
3 lawyer $1,000 900 as a lee for settling
their differences. This is the largest
attorneys fee ever paid an individual
and is made possible only BY the millions
in profits that are squeezed from the
people by the big steel company. Such
amounts could not possibly he paid an
attorney from legitimate profits. This
company, last year, on an actual capital
OF 10000 900 made net profits Of SCI.
100000. The stock is now to be wstered
to the extent OF $3.50, OCO. 020 in order
that the per centage OF profits may lie
made to appear smaller to the general
public. This is one of the many corpo.
Tations controlling national affairs and
squeezing their riches from the masses.

ACCORDING to Foraker's amended bill,
the island OF Porto Rico is to be a part
OF the United States, but its people are
not to be citizens. The bill describes
them as "citizens OF Porto Rico, and as
such entitled to the protection OF the
United States" In the old bill they
were designated as citizens of the
United States" This is the method to
be employed by the imperialists in their
first legislative act to establish plutocracy
upon the wreck OF the republic. The
passage OF Foraker's bill sounds the
death knell Of McKinleyism and his
party in this country. The people will
not permit the Republican party to
wreck this government for the benefit Of
the trusts. Signs are plentiful that the
day OF reckoning ia near at hand; that
the revolution for the preservation Of
republican government is upon us, and,
we believe, the next election will see the
party OF trusts, monopolies and impe-
T1alism swept from power forever.

was the longest list Of died from disease,

the insurRent leaders hold meetings con.
