upon the interruption of anthracite min
ing at this critical time in the year why
should not these great corporations unite
in an offer to submit to some impartial
hearing all matters in dispute? To that
end it is not necessary to deal with or
to recognize the United Mine Workers
Association. 1t is only needful to recog-
nize the grievances complained of and
bring them to the test of honest exam
ination and determination.
If it should be disclosed that there are
no wrongs which need remedy and
which would admit of correction at the
the hands of employers the mine owners
would stand justified in public opinion in
refusing to submit to unreasonable
demands.
If, on the contrary, it should be con-
clusively shown that there are standing
injustices to operators the great cor
porations which have obtained their
charters for the promoters of the pub
lie good, and whose officials undoubtedly
hold in their hands the means of abate-
ment, would be in good faith bound to
use their power for the public protec-
tion. Unless they shall fail in con-
certed effort for settlement they must
shoulder the greatest responsibility for
the widespread distress which would
necessarily follow upon a prolonged in
terruption of anthracite mning.-Phila

THE REAL QUESTION.

One thing is to be said in favor of the
announcement by the United Mine
Workers of a strike among the anthra-
cite miners of Pennsylvania. They do
not enter upon the struggle, to employ
the phrase which has become so omi-
nous, sin gayety of heart" They do
not belittle, and it would be difficult to
exaggerate, the distress which such "a
strike would bring ultimately upon busi-

NO CHANGE
IN STRIKE
Operators and Miners Are
Working Hard.
Both Sides Making Strong
Efforts to Gain Ground.
importation of Detectives
and Deputies.

This morning found both operators
and miners occupying unchanged posi-
tions in the great strike. The former,
in this region, have no gains to report,
but are still making flimsy pretence
of operating some of the collieries. The
situation, as whole, is no different
from that reported on Wednesday, al
though the strikers must be credited
with closing down two more mines, the
Evans and Coleraine, which are operated
near Beaver Meadow by Van Wickle &
Co.
Coke Bros. & Co. and Markle & Co.
are making desperate efforts to run their
mines. The formers collieres at Drift
ton would be more profitable If shut
down. At Eckley and Derringer they
are unhampered, but at Beaver Meadow
they are working with reduced force.
Markle e Co. can do nothing at Eber
vale. At Oakdale they are hoisting
nearly half the usual amount of coal.
At No. 5, Jeddo, one-fourth of the total
force is working, and at Highland the
output is so small that the men who are
at work are consuming in their homes
all the coal mined, no outside local
orders having been filled for two days.
Sandy Run continues working, those
failing to report not having affected the
colliery. At Upper Lehigh the com
pany has suspended all men employed
at outside dead work" who do not
reside in the town and is cutting down
expense wherever possible.
DETECTIVES AND DEPUTIES
The detectives, special officers and
coal and iron police who have been
patrolling the coal companies property
in this vicinity were reinforced by a
dozen Pinkerton men arriving here last
evening. This morning the woods
south of town were filled with these
men and the locality resembed the out
post lines of an armed camp.
Men who asked for protection were
escorted to Drfton and Jeddo mines by
the specials, and the pickets of the
strikers were followed wherever they
went. Men who were spoken to by the
strikers were stopped and asked what
was said. In the swamp between the
ball park and Highland railroad the
specials patrol the paths with drawn
rcvolvers.

The meeting at Jeddo on Wednesday

President John Mitchell and Organizer

who have struck to stand firm and to
those who are working to join their
fellowworkers in the strike.
John Markle also addressed the

his employees, and asked the men to

SERVING AS DEPUTIES.

A number of men employed as clerks
in Drifton Office were called upon yester-
day to act as deputies at Beaver
Meadow, where the company claimed its
property was in danger. A call was
also made upon the shop men for the
same purpose The response from the
office force was quite large, but at the
shops only a few considered it their
duty to become involved in the COM
pany's disputes.

MINISTER'S WANT ARBITRATION.

The Hazeton Ministerial Association,
composed of all the Protestant clergy
men of the city, has taken up the strike
question and will use all its power in
bringing about settlement of the labor
difference on the basis of arbitration
and concilation.
At meeting held yesterday afternoon
they decided to draw up memorial
appealing to both the strikers and those
operators who have not expressed a
desire to arbitrate to act fairly with
each other and restore peaceful condi-
tions and confidence in the anthracite
mining region.
