The MINERS WILL NOT RETURN
TO WORK UNDER THE OFFER MADE
TO THEM.
They Gnve Ont Statement of what
They Desire in the Way of Com
ccssions from Operators.

Wilkesbarre. Pa. October Goal OPP
orators of the Wyoming, Lackawanna and
Lehigh valley regions held an important
meeting in this city this afternoon and
after II gave out a statement Offering the
miners an Increase of 10 per cent in
wages and also to reduce the cost of
powder to the miners from s2.75 to $l.50
per key, the difference between this rate
and the old rate to be taken into account
in figuring the net advance Of 10 per cent.
So far as can be learned none of the OPP
orators were in favor OF recognizing the
union in any way. The strikers say. that
under no circumstances will they accept
an offer as the Reading company made
to its men. The union Is ignored and
the net increase must come out OF the
price OF powder.
h. NJ Palmer. chairman OF the press
committee at United Mine Workers
headquarters. said: The men Will not
return to work under such conditions
1t is not fair offer"
The operators Will make no further
move until they hear from the men.
At United Mine Workers headquarters
this statement was given out:
What we want is: A better enforcement
of existing mine laws.
To obtain that which is fully our own,

To obtain the right TO purchase our
implements OF labor at a fair market

ors more than twice what the same ma
terials can be purchased for az retail In

To allow a readjustment of the wage
scale that will nearly conform to The ror-
NAL condition OF the anthracite trade and

THE BEST ARE @HusrL,Scw

Progressive cities that are close to
deep water, or that can in any way Sc
cure the advantages of water transpor-
tstion. are beginning at last to reeog-
nize the fact that 1t Is lust az business
like and Just as much a commercial ne
eessity to reach out after ship lines as
railroads.
The public will remember how a few
years ago counties. cities and town.
were willing to put up large suns of
money and to offer any other possible
inducement to secure new railroad.
And there is scarcely a community In the
land that is not ready even yet TO make
considerable sacrifice TO get such new
connections.
Savannah. Charleston. Mobile and other
Southern cities are now turning their
attention in the same way 20 new trans
portation facilities by water. And even
as large city as Philadelphia Is LOOKING
about for new ship lines. The latest
move OF this kind on our Eastern Allan
tic coast Is the establishment Of regular
ocean service between philadelphia and
Transportation company. OF Baltimore.
Southern paper says in this conneo-
ton that It has been known for long
thine that Philadelphia had to secure
better steamship service II II would com
pete with New York and Boston and
Baltimore for the Southern trade. and
for months the rewspapers have been
flled with information upon this subject.
Charleston and Jacksonville. and sa-
yannah. also. have been seeking regu-
lar ship lines to Porto Rico aud Cuba
and other West Indies islands. The
same energy and enthusiasm and LIBERAL
ity, in short. that used TO characterize
the hunt for railroad connections are
nov turned toward possible water llnes.
The fact simply demonstrates that all
wide-awake commpzities nowadays are
ssAvtA--a that natural advantages alone.

LOOKS LIKE POLITICAL BAIT.

The striking miners can well look with
suspicion on the bait OF 10 per cent
increase in wages offered them by some
OF the operators in the anthracite region.
This move by the barons may deceive
some of the men. but it ought to mislead
none OF them.
In the hrst place, this offer does not
meet the grounds OF complaint except in
q ridiculously partial manner. To ,men
who are getting sl2 a month, an increase
TO about 1880 month is an item, pos
sibly. but 1t does not mean that they
shall cease to pay 200 per cent profit on
the powder they use. or monopolstic
prices for the supplies they are compelled
to purchase in the oompany's store, or
dig less than 340O pounds for ton. This
pitiful increase, which to many of the
strikers would mean less than a dollar
in the month. will not secure the i'm
provement of the novels In which they
are forced to live.
But the most Suspicious circumstance
about this proffered compromise Is tina,
