MORE MINING TROUBLES.
United Mine Workers Seek to Force
Engineers to Join Them.

United Mine Workers Seek to FOrce
Engineers to Join Them.
Special to the indianapolis Journal.
TERRE HAUTE, Ind, Dec II. - The
United Mine Workers of Indiana have be-
gun forcing the hosting engineers at the
mines to become members of the United
Mine Workers organization. This is the
outcome of the action taken by the United
Mine Workers at the time of the strike
of the engineers last month, when the
operators refused the demand for more
pay. The United Mine Workers officials,
after two or three days idleness, told the
operators that they were ready to go to
work whenever licensed engineers were in
charge The engineers had counted on the
support of the miners organization, and
this action caused the officials of the en-
gineers' brotherhood to give orders for
their men TO return to work on the old
conditions. At Linton to-day the miners
went out and their tactics may be expected
to be followed in other mining fields in the
State.
President Van Horn, of the miners, said
to-day that the engineers had placed the
miners in such an attitude that there is
no alternative than to organize the en-
gineers as part of the United Mine Work
ers Last spring, when the miners and OPP
orators were signing their wage-scale con-
tract, the miners made a persistent effort
to have the wages Of the outside labor at

the latter referred to the former. now un-

that when he was offered the appointment
he referred to Lord Salisbury and 10 Lord
George Hamilton. the secretary of state for
India, that, though he would relinquish ac-

Hardwick continued, he was left without
a shilling, and he could not afford to sever
his connection with the city which had
furnished him livelihood for the sake OF
a few years in office While in office, how
ever, he would not enter the Stock Ex-
change and would not take his duties until
he retired from active business in January.
Lord Hardwick then pointed out that
Lord Rosebery's principle was not carried
out by Mr.. Gladstone. and he said that
