TO CONTINUE THE STRIKE.
Coal Barons will Not Pay In
crease for Any Fixed Time.
OPPOSE ARBITRATION.
Prediction is Made that the Strike
will Not End Until the Men
Surrender.

Philadelphia. Pa, Oct. 15.-Repeated
unsuccessful efforts were made today to
obtain from officials of the Philadelphia
q Reading Coal and Iron company an ex-
preston Of opinion ON the action Of the
miners convention at Scranton. The
Reading company produces over 20 per
cent. Of the total anthracite tonnage and
consequently is most seriously concerned
in the sliding scale proposition.
At the office OF President Harris Pri-
vate Secretary Oberteuffer stated that
Mr.. Harris had studiously avoided any
discussion of the condition announced by
the strikers, and that when ready he
would doubtless make a statement con-
corning the company's intentions. The
representative Of r. G.. Luther, general
superintendent Of the Reading collieries,
stated that the conditions today are the
same as have existed during the past ten
days.

Cincinnati, O., Oct. 15.--The zoo ele-

ton as.plainly as two pa .2yderms could.
- Twenty five years ago the two were
playmates ina zoo in Berlin. Fortune
separated them. Topsy was taken away
for a CIRCUS life over Europe; Hatnee
was sold to Cincinnati.
Yesterday they were reunited. With
trumpeting roar the two old playmates
recognized each other; slapped each other
affectionately on the back with their
trunks and embraced with their front
legs.
Then they. settled down and it was
plain to see that they were telling each
other what had happened since last they

Wikesbarre, Pa. Oct. 15.-Operators
who were asked what were the prospects
of the anthracite strike being settled
said the men can return to work again
companies to increase their wages 10 per
cent. Officially, they do not know Of
any overtures by the strikers for n set
Element on any other basis. They have
read Of the action Of the convention at
Scranton, but it was Il convention of
United Minew orkers and they do not and
will not recognize the union.
Several Of the companies have made
no offer Of any increase. The end Of
the strike is not expected for some time,
and then only by the men giving in. The
operators will stand by their first offer,
and say they will not increase it.
Supt. Lathrop of the Lehigh Valley
company said "The operators will not
agree to continue the payment of the 10
per cent. increase for any fixed time.
The other Misunderstanding the slid
ing scale-does not apply to this region,
although the Lehigh Valley. company has
some collieries in the Lehigh and Schuyl-
kill region which pay by that system.
Here the men are paid by the car" The
operators say that the question of the
sliding scale was not discussed at any
meeting Of the operators and il is i'm
possible to say what they would do about
it. The impression is that the operators
would not object greatly to trying new
system Of payment.
Opposed to Arbitration.
AS to arbitration the operators are ut
terly opposed to it and will refuse it in
any form. They are willing to take up
any grievances with their men, but they
have always been SO, and this is no
change. Markle's experience with arbi-
tration, they say has shown them the
folly of trying it, because it is altogether
one sided. Despite the fact that each nf
Markles $500 employees had signed a
contract to submit to arbitration any
grievances they had. they all went on
strike at President Mitchell's order with
out attempting arbitration. The operat-
oTs declare an agreement to arbitrate
would be binding to one side only; that
they would be held to it and the men
would not.

Willmar played game of baseball
at the park last Friday. Litchfield
was on the bills to play also, but its
al 'eged players only went through the
motions. The Willmar boys have a
habit Of giving away game once in
a great while, and then when the other
team feels that it really amounts to
something the Willmar lads just
quietly annihilate them. In the first
three innings of Fridays game no
score was made. In the fourth Will
mar opened the campaign with grand
promenade march around the diamond
that made the Litchfe]ders so sick
that one of them, Speck, just small
speck, wanted to go home to ma, and
he quit the game. A substitute was
finally obtained and the circus pro-
ceeded. When it was over the tale Of
woe the Litch6eld boys had to relate
on reaching home was I to 0, in favor
of Willmar.
