GET TOGETHER
Mlneowners Could Not Agree
Among Themselves.
so CANNOT MEET THE STRIKERS
Statement From the Standpoint of the
owners aud Operators End Of
Strike Expected Soon.

Scranton, Pa, Oct. l6.--In response
TO request for a statement as to his
views on the answer of the United
Mineworkers to the operators PROPOSE
ton, 7. H. Watkins, president OF the
Temple Iron Company, which company
is largely interested in coal mining, to-
night gave out somewhat lengthy
statement, in which he says in part:
"We will give our men reasonable
time TO return to work, trusting they
will see the mistake of being guided
and influenced by men who, however
honest and sincere they may be in their
efforts to benefit the miners OF the an
thracite region, are unable to advise
them intelligently and for their best
good.
"Mr. Mitchell apparently thinks that
the control of the mining operations
rests in the hands of one OF two per-
sons, notably Mr.. Morgan, or that there
is a trust OF some sort which can de-
eide the whole question, when, as a
matter of fact, there are only three or
four Of the transportation companies i'll
which any one concerned has any in
huence, and thev do not represent 30
per cent of the whole anthracite tom
mage. More than 100 different COM
panies and individuals are interested
in mining the total tonnage, and no
one man can control or have the slight
est influence over their action.
lone thing the companies are APP
parently agreed upon is that they will
not agree. Efforts have been made for
years to get some plan to which all
could agree to control the tonnage, SO
that fair prices could be secured for a
product which requires SO large an
investment of money with such great
risk to the labor employed, as well as
the capital employed, but effort after
effort has failed through failure to
agree on plan that would not violate
the laws and to which all could agree.
''But Mr.. Mitchell comes here and
says in effe that no mlneworkers
shall 90 to work until every operator
does just exactly what the other does
and that the Lehigh and schuylkill
men must have new basis before the
men in the Lackawana and Wyoming
regions can 60 to work.
1.-THE United Mineworkers will lay
themselves open ii they have not al
ready done SO to the charge OF being
the largest and most dangerous trust t
the public welfare that has ever exist
ed and the organization will make th'
mistake OF all others that OF going to'
far and using its power to hurt th'
public, as we'll as those directly inter
ested.
"Our company will be glad to dis
cuss the matter with our employe
when they are ready to meet us with
view OF going back to work, withou
regard to what Schuylkill operator
may do. The strike has already cos
us great deal Of money, and the me-
much more. as we'll as loss OF trade

Hard Work Is Necessary to Secure Con-

gressiOnal Recognition.
Washington, Oct. l6.--All the great
appropriations OF the government are
based upon the estimates OF the several
departments.
At this time of the year the various
offices are preparing their plans and
estimates for the operations OF the fiscal
year beginning on July l, 1901, and
ending June 80, 1909. These estimates
will be transmitted to congress and em-
bodied in the appropriation bills, most
Of which will be considered and passed
turing February, as congress adjourns
on March 4, it being the short session.
The estimates which have peculiar
importance to the arid regions are those
for the continuance of the measure

underground waters, and especially the
survey of reservoir sites. and reports
upon the cost and value of reclamation
Sf large areas OF fertile arid lands.
For Surveys.
At the last session of congress the
National Irrigation Association ener-
getically endeavored to have the annual
appropriation of the geological survey
Tor this purpose increased from the
almost absurdly sum OF $50,000 to the
amount OF $3.50, 900, this being more in
accordance with the needs OF the coun-
try. The increase was made in the
senate, but in conferences with the
house OF representatives compromise
Of $l0O, 900 was reached, the conces.
sion being made that at the next session
the sum OF $3.50, 900 would be fayorably
considered.
Organized Effective Work.
A lesson that can be learned from the
attitude OF many OF the Eastern states
as regards river and harbor improve
ments; these improvements are not left
to chance or regarded with indifference.
but the claims Of each locality are
made known and Systematically push
ed by organized effort. such as
boarls OF trade or merchants
associations. Eastern interests are or
vanized for work, and when an Eastern
locality wants river and harbor appro-
priation 1t goes after it in a thorough,
systematic manner, and sooner or later
gets it. This is what the West can
aud should do. Every Western BOARD
