THREATENED STRIKE.
The Anthracite Coal Operators Give
Their Side of the Differences.
Il Is Alleged That the Scale OF
Wages Has Not Been Reduced
Within a Period of Over
Twenty Years.

New York, Sept. Cit has been as
certained that the coal operators who
do business in the anthracite coal
districts discussed at their meeting in
this city the threatened strike among
their employees, and that, after
lengthy conference, a committee was
appointed to draft a statement set
ting forth the views of the operators
and refusing to recognize the United
Mine Workers of America.
In view of the interest taken in the
threatened strike, and in the meeting
of the executive committee of the
United Mine Workers to be held at
Indianapolis Thursday, statement
was given out Wednesday night from
the operators headquarters which
thoroughly reviews the situation
from the mine owners standpoint.
The statement asserts that the United
Mine Workers and their leaders are
composed of soft coal men, not ia
miliar with the conditions of anthra-
cite mining, and the. association of
the anthracite men with the soft coal
district is believed to be antagonistic
to the best interests of the men and
the mine owners. 1t is alleged that
the soft coal interests would reap the
benefit of any troubles or strikes
caused by that organization in the
anthracite region.
The statement then goes on to deny
alleged statements coming from the
United Mine Workers. 1t is alleged
that the scale of wages has not been
reduced in over 20 years, notwith-
standing the numerous periods of
business depression and repeat
ed reductions in the soft coal
mining regions, but, on the 9TH
er hand advances have been
made in great many mines to meet
changing conditions.
The statement also denies that the
market price of coal is higher than
in many years, but asserts that it is
much below the price received in
1892, and the profits of the business
have decreased largely, owing to the
increased cost of mining coal from
lower depths and longer distances I'M
derground, and also from the in
creased cost of materials used around
the collieries.
Regarding the powder question, the
statement says it is true that the
price charged the miner for powder
is much above the present cost, but
that the advanced wage paid the
miner in the anthracite district more
than covers the increased price he
pays over the cost per key in other
districts.
The statement winds up with the
following paragraph:
Under the present circumstances
we feel our position to be fair and
just. We do not court a strike and
would gladly avoid it, and trust that
our men will consider carefully before
led further along by promises that
can never be realized. Our position
is taken after due elaboration and
we believe is for the best interests OF
the workman, his family, the bust
ness interests and ourselves

THE LETTER CARRIERS.
The New Law Providing As Hours
as u Weeks Work Is in Dis
favor With Most of Them.

Detroit, Mich, Sept. 5.-That the
new law providing As hours work per
week for letter carriers is in disfavor
with majority of the letter carriers
was shown Tuesday in the eleventh
annual convention of the National As
ISOLATION of Letter Carriers. In a
brief speech in the convention Tues
day afternoon Delegate VIM. Coombs,
of New York, after pointing to the
loyalty to the service and willingness
of the carrier to conform to regula-
tions under all circumstances, de-
clared that ''ninety-nine hundredths
of the carriers of the United States
deplore the 4s-hour act, and know
that any law which is an infringement
on our old eight-hour law will never
be satisfactory to the letter car
riers.''
Eight hours" shouted Mr.. Coombs,
fought to continue to be the limit of
a days work." and the remark was
greeted with a storm of applause.
"It WILL" Mr.. COOmbs continued, "be
a happy day for the carriers when
the old eight-hour law shall be given
back TO US and when congress shall
appropriate enough to pay for men
enough to continue the eight-hour
work day"

won the first prize of $50 in gold, for

NEBRASKA
The LAND
OF PLENTY

l wonder why it is that so many
men spend their days working hard
on rented farms, barely making
enough to get along, with no great
prospect ahead of owning their
own homes, when within a few
hours journey is a land of plenty
-Nebraska-where all kinds of
grain and fruit can be raised with
the least amount of labor; where
cattle and hogs fed on corn bring a
handsome profit; where the climate
is healthful and churches and
schools abound; where land is
cheap and can be bought on very
easy terms.
Think of this, and if you want
information about the country send
to me for "The Corn Belt" a
beautifully illustrated monthly
paper that tells all about Nebraska,
and also for "The West Nebraska
Grazing Country" an interesting
illustrated booklet containing a
large sectional map of Nebraska.
On the first and third Tuesdays
of each month during the balance.
of this year cheap excursion
tickets will be sold over our road
to Nebraska, so that people may go
and see for themselves. Ask your
ticket agent about this.

Iron Brigade Men Buried at Arlington

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: In one of
Mrs Mary s. Lockwood's interesting
sketches in Yesterday in Washington"
the date of the burial of the first soldier
in the cemetery at Arlington flights is
given as May 13, 1864. The I'd, 9th and
Tth Wis. and the 10Th Ind, afterward
known as the Iron Brigade" were
camped near, or on, Arlington flights
from Oct. Z, 1861, to March 10, 1862, and
during that time 10 members of those reg
.iments died in the regimental hospitals
and were buried close to the family burial
lot of the Gusts family, only a few rods
back of the Arlington House. The first
man buried there was from Co. G, 9th
Wis, named Ole Dahl, and 1 was with
the squad that buried him. Our regiment
was encamped about where the parade
ground of Fort Myer is, and when we left
there in the Spring of 1862, there were,
as l have stated. about 16 graves near
the Gusts burial lot. / had list of these
at one time, but it is mislaid.
About 1SS2'3 / was at Arlington Hights
and could not find the names of any of
these men in the records kept there, and
where they were buried in '61 and '62
were the headstones of soldiers who died
in ga and '5, mostly from New York
and Pennsylvania regiments. How 1t
came about that the graves of our com.
rades of the Iron Brigade, the first Union
soldiers to be buried at Arlington, were
unmarked, i have never heard.-L. B.

The march or walkaway to the sea had set

Atlanta, in July, occurred, counted my
life by the minute and second, and it is a
great wonder to me that it was not taken.
Well, l have now made short story long,
by trying to show up some of the phases of

directions; and then, pausing, he extended
his right arm to its full length, holding

labor-could not hold the same ak in that

VISIT TO MIR. LINCOLN AT THE SOL
DIERS' HOME.
In Summer Mr.. Lincoln's favorite home
was at the Soldiers Home, a place few
miles out of Washington, where old and
disabled soldiers of the Regular Army
found refuge. II was a lovely spot,
situated on a beautifully wooded hill,
reached by a winding road, shaded by
thick-set branches. A California lady,
who visited Mr.. Lincoln there, and went
with him To the neighboring cemetery,
where were numberless new-made graves
of volunteers, says: while we stood in
the soft evening air, watching the faint
trembling Of the long tendrils of waving
willow, and feeling the dewy GOODNESS that
was flung out by the old oaks above us,
Mr.. Lincoln joined us, and stood silent,
too, taking in the scene.
"'How sleep the brave, who sink to rest
By all their country's wishes blest, -
he said, softly. There was something so
touching in the picture opened before U.S.
the nameless graves, the solemn quiet, the
tender twilight air, but more particularly
our own feminine disposition to be easily
melted, / suppose,-that it made us cry,
as if we stood beside the tomb of our own
dead, and gave point to the lines which he
afterwards quoted:
"And women o'er the graves shall weep
Where nameless heroes calmly Sleep"
