Oh our employees was a member of the
union, and had absolutely no grievance.
We consulted our men and found them
satisfied so we ignored the demand.
In January, we received an insoIent
letter from Mitchell, in which he said
that since we had seen fit to ignore
his cordial request to settle the griev-
ances in an amicable manner, it was plain
that we would continue to trample upon
our men and that he would conseq quent-
ly take steps to force us to come to him. :
Our men were quite satisfied and they
are today. They are not members of the
union and they did not wish to strike.

The operator was asked why the COM
panies force the men to buy their own
powder, and compelled them to hire their
own shovellers.
The powder question is a long story, -
he replied. 'tThe present price 50. rs per
keg, was liked after the close of the civil
war. II the companies were to supply the
powder, the miners would be sure to grow
more or less careless in using it. So the
best course has been to compel the miners
to purchase their own powder. They use
it with great care, and use smaller
charges. If the men were to buy it them
selves in the open market they might buy
an inferior grade, and thus cause a great
deal of danger -

Relief of Sick and Injured Well
in Hand.

Galveston, Texas, September l7-The
ninth day after the storm and till the
gruesome work goes on of recovering the
dead from the gigantic mass of debris
that lines the south side OF what remains
of the city.
Yesterday 10Y bodies were recovered and
oremated. Among them was a mother
with sucking babe tightly clasped to her
breast.
The body of Major W. I. Levy, q. S.
migrant inspector of this district, was
among the number. He made struggle
to save his wife and three chiIdreu. All
were lost. The bodies of the wife and
children have not been recovered The
number cremated today win exceed 100.
The task of recovering the bodies
jammed beneath the debis extending
from the eastern to the western limits of
the city, q distance of over three miles, is
hercuIean, and the most expeditions way
of removing the whole, from sanitary
point Of view is by ire. This, however,
in the crippled condition of the fire de-
partment and water works, would endan-
ger the remaining portion OF the city. As
it now stands, this immense amount of
debris. strewn with bodies, the carcasses
of decaying animals, etc., is menace
to the health of the city and is the
most difficult problem the board of health
has to deal with.
The work of opening up the streets and
d1s1nfecting them is being vigorously
prosecuted. The debris and garbage is
heing removed, $50 vehicles of every de-
scr1ption carrying 1t out to safe place,
where it is burned. In few days all
streets will be opened for the passage
of vehicles. Today it was decided at a
meeting of the central executive commit
tee that all the Iaborers now employed In
burying the dead, cleaning the buildings
and moving the debris from the streets
and sidewalks shall receive $3.50 a day
and rations. Heretofore they have been
working for nothing, and If they refused,
were impressed by the military.
The relief work of the sick and in
jured is Wen in hand and under the di-
rect1on of skilled physicians and nurses, it
is improving daily. Eleven hundred tents
were received today by the board of
health. All except 800 retained for hos
pitaI purposes will be distributed by the
chairmen of the various ward sub-com-
mlttees to shelter the homeless in their
respective wards.
The revenue cutter Winona, from Mo-
bile, arrived today and Capt. Parry
placed the vessel at the disposal of the
board of health for the removal of the
sick and W ounded
Sickness of a malarial typo is becoming
prevalent among the sufferers and consid-
erabIe apprehension is felt that it may as
sumo a more serious form. Every etfo rt
will be made by the board of health to
check the spread of the disease.
Miss Clara Barton is giving her tt me
and attention to assisting in the work of
relief. The board of health says more
trained nurses are needed. One of the
members made serious charges against
several nurses who have come to assist in
relief work and they were asked to re-
turn home.

A Statement From One of the
Operators.

Philadelphia, September 17.-The great
strike of mine workers in the anthracite
coal fields OF Pennsylvania which repre-
sent practically the hard coal output of
the world, began today According to
President Mitchell Of the United Mine
Workers Of America, who is personally
directing the strike from his headquart-
ers at Hazleton, the success or the four
days effort to tie up the mines exceeded
the expectations of the strike leaders.
The hard coal region is divided into
four great districts the Lackawanna,
Wyoming, Lehigh and Schuylkill regions
In the first two representing nearly co.,
900 men the tie-up Is practically complete,
only one mine employing few hundred
men being operated and this the strikers
say they hope to close soon.
In the Lehigh region, the situation is a
stand-off, about 5000 of the 16 600 mine
employees having quit work.
Principally because the union has COM
paratively little strength in the Schuyl-
kill region, and the workmen there have
no decided grievance as IN other districts,
the strike was not general among the up
ward OF $4,000 men employed. Indica-
tlons tonight, however, point to the clos
ing tomorrow of some mines in the last
edsdistrict that operated today, des-
pite the assertions of officials of the Phil
adelphia and Reading Coal ana Iron com
pany and other companies operating the
region that they will continue their. col
lieries in operation. Nearly all the efforts
of the strike leaders are being devoted to
organizing the men in the weak Schuyl-
kill and Lehigh regions and tonight their
organizers and orators are redoubnng
their efforts
No violence, worth mentioning, has
marred the first day of the struggle
Practically no progress haszyet been made
in the efforts of some of the clergy to
bring about a settlement of the trouble
through arbitration.
