THE COMPANY UNIONS.
Actsen of the D., l.. & w. Miners May
Prevent a Coal Strike.

WILKESBARRE, Pa, Sept At is
stated by leading miners at Plymouth to-
day that on Tuesday the Delaware and
Hudson Coal Company viii post notices at
its coIlieries there announcing reduction
in the price of powder from 81. 10 to S1-50
keg This is the concession demanded by
the United Mine Workers. and if the ru-
NOR is true the Delaware and Hudson will
be the first company TO get under cover
The local officials say they have nothing
to say on the matter.
The action OF the Delaware, Lackawanna
and Western Miners Union. which viii on
Tuesday demand an increase of 10 per cent,
will have an important bearing on the
threatened general strike of the United
Mine Workers. The Delaware Lackawanna
and Western men formed an exclusive
union, confined TO employees of the COM
pany, as soon as they found the United
Mine Workers were ignored by the oper-
ators, and when they heard the operators
say they were at all times willing 10 treat
with their own men, but wanted no out
siders.
The Delaware. Lackawanna and Western
union has existed but three weeks and now
the men want an increase. If they do not
get it they VIII probably strike with the
United Mine Workers. but if it is granted
the United Mine Workers strike may not
take place. If 1T does the Delaware, Lack
awanna and Western men will have all the
work they can do and it will be heavy
blow to the United Mine Workers.
Another view of the situation is that il
the Delaware, Lackawanns and Western
men get their increase of 10 per cent the
employees of other big companies will cut
adrift from the United Mine Workers. form
unions and take the operators
at their word. If the Delaware. Lacka-
wanna and Western grants the increase
the other companies cannot well refuse.
A leading operator said today:
The big companies have no objection to
their own employees forming unions but
they do not want outsiders to Interfere.
l think company unions would lead to a
better understanding all around and to a
adjustment of the difficulties
existing. We are doing all we can to pre-
vent a strike and viii do SO if the miners
viii but listen to reason and not be guided
by hot-headed agitators. | think if a vote
were taken so per cent of the miners would
oppose the strike l know their wives and
families do because the suffering of
strike would be greatest upon them, and
they realize from past experiences that
the union cannot long provide them with
money. 1t would take over million dol
lars a month TO provide for all the miners
IN the anthracite region, and that would
be little enough"
The operator said that there would be
more coal mined this year than for sew
sral years past providing the strike did
not take plale. Up to the LIST of Septem-

Roosevelt and Paine.

Governor Roosevelt's characterization of
Thomas Paine as a filthy little atheist"
has called forth few remarks from people
who have an admiration for Paine and his
works. These people are variousiy styled
by themselves and others atheists, infidels.
agnostics. and free thinkers. For some
reason or other the last mentioned term
has been covered with the most oppro-
brium. though why any thought which is
not free should be considered in the least
valuable has not yet been explained But
there is one quality which is shared by
many admirers OF Paine Ingersoll. and
Voltaire, and that is an intense and IN
compromising desire for the truth They
generally are anxious to know the truth.
they tell it, so far as they see it. and they
are apt to exact that others shall do the
same. Unfortunately. some of their OPP
ponents have not always been thus scrupu-
lous. Il appears that the Rough Rider has
aligned himself with those to whom rhet-
ORIG is of more consequence than veracity.
Mr.. W. H. Burr. a correspondent of The
Times, has taken pains to point out gently
that Paine was five feet nine inches In
height. which is not exactly the stature
Of a small man. il is possible that the
adjective little refers to mental rather
than physical size. but the man who helped
10 shape the policy of our infant Republic
and took an important part in the pro-
ceedings OF the French Revolution, at least
did as much for his generation as Colonel
Roosevelt has yet done for his. As for
the accusation of "flthiness,' some of
Paines contemporaries and best friends
have refuted that, and the very fact that
they were his friends shows that he could
not have been so extremely disrepuiabIe as
his enemies accused him of being. Definite
testimony is that of Aaron Burr. quoted by
he correspondent in question:
he dined at my table I aways considere,
him gentleman, pleasant companion and q
soad-tatured and Intelligent man. decidedly tom
2eiate- aud with proper regard 10 his personal
sppesfance wheneycr ! saw him.
1t Is the opinion OF Governor Roosevelt
that Paine was an atheist. an accusa-
ton which has been reiterated by
good many different people who have

not, apparently. taken the pains to
| read anything which the author I'M

| walton is so very common that it merits
some attention, for it indicates quite clear
| ly the degree of Intellectual honesty at,
tained by such controversialists 1t would

lar about his ground, to be sure, before
making any positive assertion, that he was

arguers often assert. a mans eternal sal
walton depends upon what he believes. it
would seem important that he should be-
iieve the truth, and on general principles,
a men who will lie about one thing may lie
about another. 1t is not excusable for a
religious enthusiast to lie about his oppu-
nents. obviously; and to avoid the accusa-
ton of being liar he should, of course
take trouble to know all that he can about
the subject on which he intends to dog
Matte
Now. it is not at all difficult to find cut
whether or not Thomas Paine was an
atheist, and he is a man of sufficient prom
inence to make it worth while to be GER
tain on this point. All one has TO do to
discover his opinion on the subject is to
go to any bookstore or circulating library,
ask for his best known work. THE Age
of Reason and read about two-thirds of
the first page. Some people seem TO be
afraid to do this. but there is nothing on
that first page which could harm the mind
of an innocent child. The author began
with the remark that it had teen his inten-
ton for some time to publish his thoughts
upon religion and that the abolition of
the order of priesthood in France rendered
the publication of works on true religion
necessary. He then declared his creed to
be as follows:
81 believe in one God. and no more; and |
hope for happiness beyond this life.
4 believe in the equality of man: and
believe that religious duties consist in doing
justice. loving mercy. and endeavoring to make
our fellow creatures happy"
Whatever that statement is. it does not
involve atheism, but precisely the oppo- !
site.

Mr.. Bryan and the Trusts.

Our Republican opponents ought to thank
position 20 toe the mark and meet the
trust issue without any excuse for eva
sion. In his speech at Laporte Ind. on
Saturday, the Democratic candidate for the
Presidency performed a distinctly valuable
: and non-partisan political service in adj
justing the trust question to the necessi-
ties Of easy discussion. He said to his
audience: IF any Republican tells you
that the trust is a good thing, ask him
why the Republican platform denounees
the trusts -
We do not presume that any Republican
Leader or spellbinder will be brave enough
to assert upon the stump that the trust
is good thing. although Mr.. Hanna was
went 10 maintain that position in his pub
lie speeches year ago II is the paradox
of the situation that. while the trusts are
putting up all the money for the Mckinley
campaign, the platform upon which the
Republican candidates stand is mildly de
mandatory of them. However, the mag
mates of monopoly and plutocracy are not
thin-skinnad, and if they can secure four
more years of unbridled power. they do not
care a rap how much bad language may
be hurled at them. always provided theit

close districts, it may be necessary for the
orators whose salary and expenses are paid
by the trusts nevertheless to assan them
violently fer popular effect In such cases
Mr.. Bryan's other pertinent remark at La
porte is Of interest. He said: IF the Re-
publican says that the trust is bad thing
you ask him why a Republican Administra-
tion allowed more trusts to be organized
than were ever organized in all the pre-
vious history CT the country" We are al
most afraid that here Mr.. Bryan's desire |
to be polite to his adversary caused him to
lose a point, because he might have added |
a few observations on the truth that the |
