NUMBER OF COAL STRIKERS OUT
is NOW ESTIMATED AT l26, 900

those who opposed the strike were in
the minority. He said the eyes Of
$4,000 miners were looking toward
them, and that IL they all stopped work
the victory would be won: but. on the
other hand. il a few went to work it
would iujure the interests OF all the
men.
John Markle then made his way to-
ward the crowd Of miners. He was
unable to speak for q while. because Of
Interruptions by many in the crowd.
Several Of the United Mine Workers
officials attempted to get the crowd to
disDerse and not to listen to Mr.. Mar
kle. The latter. hovver. won over the
gathering lie told them the company
stood ready to arbtrate any differences
with the men, and proposed that the
company select one arbitrator and the
men choose one. If the two fail to
agree these two mon could invite q
third man to join in considering the
matters before them. He said that he
would abide by the decision OF the ar
bitrators, no matter what the award
might be. Mr. Marlle concluded his
address by paying his respects TO the

them agitators and charging them with
being responsible for oil the turmoil
in the region.
Mr.. Mitchell then got on the steps.
and standing beside Mr. Markle told
the crowd that the United Mine Work
ers would not accept arbitration on
that basis. It must be the whole re-
gi0n and not part Of It,
Mr.. Markle again addressed the men
and reiterated what he said last Sum
day. that he would accept Archbishop
Ryan, of Philadelphia. as an arbitrator,
to which Mr. Mitchell replied that he
would accept the archbishop on the
basis the United Mine Workers pro-
Decentralization for the whole region
at one and the same time.
At this point Father Phillips, who
was IN tho crowd. was called upon. and
he delivered q speech favoring arbitra-
ton. He told the men that here was a
chance to arbitrate their honest differ
ences, and If they did not seize the op-
portunity they would be giving organ
lied labor the hardest blow 1t has ever
been dealt and that all the men who
refused the offer deserved all the hard
ship that the operators could put upon
them in a hundred years.
President Mitchell and Mr. Markle
again spoke, and Benjamin James also
addressed the men, but their remarks
we're largely Of a personal nature.

The conclusion reached from the
days developments is that the powers
are dividing as to China. and that at
present Germany and Great Britain
stand aligned against France and Rus
sia, while both sides are ardently
seeking the adherence of the United
States government The issue appears
to be made up in such shape as to dis
miss further hope Of attaining that

that the president has been seeking so
far, and the point apparently has been
reached where the United States must
take sides or at once proceed to act
entirely Independent of other powers

a BOYS INGENUITY.

1t is not generally known that a
well equipped trolley road is in opera
ton within two miles of Morristown.
This is a fact, nevertheless, and the
cars can be seen any day running
along fence top on the property of
Edward J. Hall, president and
general manager of the American Tel
phone Co., at Kahdena. The owner,
general manager, superintendent and
chief engineer of this miniature troll
ely system is Edward B. Hall, the 49,
year -old son of Mr.. Hall. The road,
which is complete in every respect, is
a wonderful example of the boys in
genuity, and was recently put in
operation after a years hard work.
The power house" was formerly
the living apartments of Master Halls
pony, but in the interest of science
the animal was obliged to give up it's
quarters and remove to the stables
where the big forses are kept. In this
building he installed p horse power
boiler, d horse power high speed
engine, with which he runs a small
dynamo. On the top Of the stable yard
fence he has built 3inch gauge rail
road. His rolling stock consists of
two toy cars of tin, each of which is
propelled by two motors made by him
self The rails are used as feeders
and are rather dangerous to touch
when the road is in operation.
The boiler, engine and dynamo were
all built from plans drawn by Master
Hall. Now that the trolley system
is complete, this young Edison has
turned his attention. to noiseless tele-
graphy, and has an apparatus almost
completed. 1t is safe to say that
Master Hall will one day make his
mark in the electrical world,
