denunciation of the Dingley tariff, "A
New England free-trader newspaper de-
clares that "the tariff Is the club with
which the Democrats propose 10 smash

monopoly under the protection OF the Re-
publican tariff" BY way Of illustration

no discreet friend OF Mr.. Olney. would

Ii Is fact OF record that Mr.. Cleve-

COAL TRAIN CREWS IDLE.
stoppage of the Mines Has Deprived
Them of Usual Work.

SCRANTON, Pa, Sept i9.-The strike of
the anthracite coal miners entered upon
its third day with everything shut down
IN the first district except the West End
Coal Company's mine at Mocanqua. This
is the only mine in operation. and the
strike leaders made strong but unavailing
effort to close II. With this exception
the tie-up in Lackawanna and Wyoming
valleys is thorough. for not even wash
cry is doing business to-day hereabouts,
despite the efforts yesterday to have sew
eral of them operated. The owners have
failed to make any agreement which in
.sures their employees the wage increase de-
manded. The situation Is made more COM
plcated by this fact, for within a few
days must come the stoppage of street
railway travel the shutting down largely
of the electric light service and the posi-
BILE closing of schools because of lack of
coal.
''The tie-up of the mines has caused the
laying off of every coal train crew in this
region and whatever coal is being moved
is going out in the freight trains. Only
three Delaware & Hudson coal trains went
north yesterday, and three crews are
marked out for to-day, but one Is TO be en-
ployed In dumping ashes for the roadbed.
The Erie Railroad is almost at a standstill.
No coal is taken over the Honesdale
branch and to-day the switching crew at
that point was laid off. The Erie & Wyom-
ing Valley, the Delaware * Hudson, the
Ontario & Western and the Lackawanna
system did not move a single coal train to-
day in any direction. the strike being
wholly responsible for this condition. The
number of railroaders idle in consequence
reaches into the hundreds. This makes the
interest of the railroad men in the strike
keen and they are willing to do everything
required to bring about its quick ending.
At district headquarters 1t was predicted,
this morning, by Nicholas Burke. COM
mitteeman, that within another week, If
some terms of settlement are not arranged
the strike would make many more thou
sand idle.

IRON AND STEEL SCALE.
Two Advances Are Granted-Settle-
ment Seems Probable To-Day.

CINCINNATI, Sept. 19.-The wage scale
conference committee of the Amalgamated
Association of Iron and Steel Workers has
been in executive session here all day con-
sidering the counter proposition offered by
the Republic Iron and Steel Company and
the American Steel Hoop Company to the
demand of the men for the minimum wage
scale basis of last year, so that about sixty
thousand idle men can resume work. These
men have been idle since June 80 on ac-
count of the dispute over wages. The iron
workers. who are working under sliding
scales, governed by the market price of bar
iron. will get another advance of per
cent, as it was announced to-day that the
report for the past sixty days warranted
the same. The old scale of s. a ton for
boiling, when the market price of iron is IA
cents, is increased rs cents for every one
fourth cent advance in the market.
This is the fourth conference since the
mills shut down, and among those partici-

Expected Clash Averted.

HARRISBURG. Pa, Sept. 19.-The ex-
pected clash between the union and nom
union miners in the Lykens valley region
was averted by the strikers at Lykens
abandoning their proposed march to VIII
Jamestown tonight to attempt to force the
miners there to quit work. The feeling be-
tween the Lykens and Williamstown miners
is so bitter that the strike leaders were
induced this afternoon by the borough au-
thorities of Lykens TO persuade their fol-
lowers not to invade the territory of the
nonstrikers. Seven hundred strikers were
to have started for Williamstown at G
o'clock, with two bands of music, and they
were much chagrined when the proposed
march was called of.
