Operators Won't Discuss It

The operators decline to discuss the wage question for publication, but it is stated that they are not willing to grant an ad- vance in the price of mining. They claim that the advance in this district has been about 40 per cent, compared with only about 15 per cent. in other districts with which they come in competition. They cite the fact that the Louisville and Nashville Railroad is now buying coal in Kentucky and shipping it to this city at practically the same price they would have to pay for it here.
 The conference between the operators and the miners will not likely occur before Tuesday.

THE MINE WORKERS
 ro HAVE TAKEN RECESS
They Have Adjourned Until Mon-
 day Morning.
SEVERAL MORE QUESTIONS
Pay for the Tonnage Men Has Been Set tied, But the Question of Pay for Day Men Remains
 to be Fixed

The Alabama District of the United Mine Workers, which had been in session in this city since Wednesday, took a recess at noon yesterday until tomorrow morning.
 The convention reassembled in executive session at o'clock yesterday morning and resumed consideration of the wage sched- ule. It is stated that the question of pay for the tonnage men has been about set tied, but that the pay for the day men remains to be fixed. While the delegates to the convention will not talk to outsiders about the scale to be presented to the coal opera tors at the joint meeting of the oper- tors and the miners one day this week, 1t is understood that there will be a demand for an increase over the scale under which they have worked the past year.
 Just how much of an increase will be ask ed is not stated definitely, but it Is inti- mated that the miners will demand that the present maximum price, that is 55 cents per ton, be the minimum price for the next year. The minimum price stipulated in the contract last year, and under which the miners have been working since July l, 1899, is 45 cents, and the maximum price 55 cents. These prices were based on foun- dry ironNat $S or less with sliding scale which provided for increase pay to the miners with increase in the price of iron. It is stated that the scale for the next year will be based on the price of iron, with $S per ton as the minimum.
 No Afternoon Session
 No session of the convention was held yesterday afternoon a great many of ha to n spend Sunday, and as most of the trains to their homes left the city shortly after ? o'clock it was decided best not to meet in the afternoon.
 The question of having but one meeting each year will probably come up for con sideration at the convention during the present session. It has been the custom of the Alabama District of the United Mine Workers to hold two conventions each year, one in December for the election of officers and the transaction of such other business as might demand attention, and again in June to fix scale of prices for the following year. This double convention entails considerable expense the miners, and there was more or less talk during the past week among the delegates relative to d change in the rules in this respect
 Secretary Clemo gave out the statement yesterday afternoon that the convention had not yet taken up the question of prices for day work, but that the mining scale proper had about been settled. He said the convention would not be ready for a con- ference with the operators until tomorrow afternoon, and probably not before Tues day. He expressed the belief that the op orators and the miners would agree on a contract before the expiration of the one DOW in force, and that there would be no trouble between employer and employe this summer on account of failure to agree on a contract.

The street railways OF America now
represent the enormous investment in
bonds and stocks OF 81, 800, ,oo0, 900, upon
which investors are receiving annually
over s70,000,0 600 in dividends and inter

$3.50, ,000, 600 year are distributed
among 100000 employees necessary TO

pressing demands for Improvement.

Nine-tenths Of the business men and
women OF the United States look to the
management of street railway companies
to furnish them with swift, comfortable

has increased 80 per cent since 1894,

DO YOU WANT III I

In 1892 this country was more
prosperous than ever before. En-.
ployment was more general and
wages higher than they had ever
been.
The people, misled by the asser-
tions Of the Democratic office-seek-
ers, tried the experiment Of chang
ing tie policy OF the government
on the tariff question.
What was the result?
On the very day following the
election business began to decline,
dealers Cancelled their contracts
for home manufactures, factories
reduced their working forces and
curtailed their orders for the pro-
duct Of the mine, the forest and
the field, and uncertainty took the
place Of confidence in the business
world.
What followed?
Every workingman, every em-
ploye and every farmer whose
market was thus curtailed renem-
bers. There was a panic, depres-
sion, gloom, enforced idleness and
want.
All this was the result Of d
change in our tariff policy which
affected the great manufacturing
interests and which threatened la
Dor.
Bryan now threatens to lower
the tariff and take away protection
from labor.
Do you want it? II 50, vote for
Bryan and you will get ii.

DO you WANT 1T

Remember the panic, the depres-

1S03-96. That was the result of

factor Of our national welfare.
The election Of Bryan would
mean return to all the causes
which led to that panic. It would
also add to them two other equally
potent causes for panic--a change
OF currency and change in our
foreign policy,
Do you want panic In 1904

ample remuneration for their crops, then

added new type, job press and

the growing town brought in
creased business and larger cir
