THE FULL DINNER PAIL"

From the Cincinnati ENQUIRER:
What is the lowest price at which
we can procure labor?" This is the
first question asked by these pampered
Hannaites when they go into large
undertakings. Their constant policy
is to keep labor cheap and plenty
They are ''two-faced." On the stump
they talk about the dignity of labor
and in business they show contempt
for it. They appear to regard work
ingmen as submissive fools. They do
not give them credit for enough per
ception to see that even in these times
of glorious prosperity" when there
is a great strike among even skilled
workmen, there are always thousands
of idle men ready to take their vacated
places at any price that will keep soul
and body together" There is great
danger that the administrationists
will overdo the work to which they
are about to address themselves. They
will draw so warm an ideal of pros
perity that the masses VINO, even at
the best, are living from hand to
mouth" will wonder why a few of
the luXuries are not coming their way.
They have been made acute by their
long suffering and by the class dis
tinction that has been promoted by
Republican legislation, and it will not
take them long to discover that there
is monopoly of prosperity

In 1896 Cuyahoga county, including

PLANS FOR SETTLEMENT.
Proposition Acceptable to Mitchell
With a Condition.
PAYING OFF THE STRIKERS.

Philadelphia, Sept. 29.-The tower
ing feature of the coal strike situation
and one which attracted the attention
of all interests involved, was the wide
ly circulated report that negotiations
are pending and rapidly nearing com
pletion for an amicable settlement of
the strike. President Truesdale, of the
Lacllawanna, is quoted as making such
admission, but in what manner or by
whom they are being conducted he
declined to state.
President Mitchell. head of the stril1-
ing miners organization, expressed the
belief that the operators had decided
to offer the miners an increase of
wages, but he, too, declined to admit
whether he possessed any further in
formation on the subject.
Coupled with nearly all the reports
of probable early settlement of the
the trouble came the announcement
that the men would be offered an
increase of pay, but that the mine
owners would positively decline to
arbitrate the differences through Pres
ident Mitchell, or to in any manner
give recognition to the United Mine
Workers. This refusal of recognition,
however, would not prove difficult
object to overcome.
President Mitchell in his open letter
to the public having expressed his
willingness to accept a settlement
through separate conferences of COM
mittees of the employees and their
direct employers If the railroad
presidents and others who controlled
the miners would accept this PROPOSE
ton, he said, he would waive all claim
to recognition of the union. One con-
dition he exacted, however, was that
these conferences should be held the
same day and in the same city.
The big companies are paying off
the strikers. All OF the former EN-
| ployes of the Pennsylvania Coal COM
pany's twenty-seven collieries will be
paid today and those of the Lacl1a-
W Annals twenty-three places viii be
paid Monday. The purpose of this is
to make the men amenable as tres
passers if they come on the company's
property, and is another strong cor
roboration of the story that a move is
on to operate some of the mines.

THE present levy will enable us to
nish up everything but the main and
basement foors," said the attorney
general. IF the next legislature will
give us fourth mill levy again we
will have enough money to finish the
building. That levy will raise $780,
900 and the main and basement floors
can be finished for that amount The
levy already made and to be collected
