NEWS IN The mining WORLD.
Anthracite Operators Have Re-
fused to Treat With
United Mine Workers.
WHAT THE DECISION MEANS
The Hillside Company Announces
That, Though Opposed to Deal
ing With Miners Organiza-
ton, it Will Meet Com
mittee of Employees.

Scranton. Pa, Jan. "a. = Officials of
three of the big anthracite coal compa-
MES have announced that under no cir
cumstances will they treat with the Unit
ed Mine Workers of America. Their
lead in the matter probably means that Il
similar position will be taken by the 9th
er corporations, the coal carrying roads
and the individual operators. OF these
companies the Delaware, Lackawannu
and Western and the Delaware and lud-
son are paramount.
Their mines stretch all along the Lack
awanua and Wyoming valleys from For
est City to NanticolSe, covering dis
tancc of nearly 80 miles, and in which
are embraced - mines of the Lackawan-
na company and % of the Delaware and
Hudson, employing in themselves no less
than 10000 men and boys. Contlibutory
to these are large nwnhcr OF Individual
corporations, in which several thousand
other worllmen are engaged.
The Hillside Coal ana Iron company
properly the Erie Railroad company,
with mines at Forest City, Avera and
Lntin. and also several contributing in
dlvidual operators haze set themselves
ON record as opposed to dealing with the
miners organization.
VIII Deal With Employees.
They, however say they are willing to
deal with any committee of their own
employees, provided such committee
comes to them when not under the in
fluence of any outside agency.
The superintendents who take this po-
sition are Il. Il. Lcolnis, head of the coal
department of the Delaware, Lackawan-
ma and Western company; c. G. Rose,
superintendent of mines of the Delaware
and Hudson company; Captain William
May, superintendent of the Hillside Coal
and Iron company, and Thomas ii. Wat.
kins, president of the Temple Coal and
Iron company.
The latter is the foremost of the in.
dividual operators and has big mines al
Wyoming, Duryea, Peekville, Richmon
dale and Northwest.
Other mining interests hereabout are
| the Pennsylvania Coal company, with
headquarters at Dunmore; the Ontario
and Western company, with coal offices
| at Mayfield, and their mines all locatc,
in this city and to the north; the William
ConDell Coal company. the Jcrmyn Goa
company, and o. $. Johnson & Co.

BRYAN IN CONNECTICUT.
He Speaks In Stamford on Money,
Trusts and Imperialism.

Stamford, Conn. Jan. 24.--William j.
brSnn arrived here on the express from
New York. The train was on time. and
big crowd had assembled on the depot
platform. Some men tried to shake
hands with the leader, but he acc0nmo-.
dated only Il few. Homer 5. Cummings
hurried him TO Il carriage, and they were
driven to the town hall. The hall was
hllpd the audience numbering over 900.
Most of these were men and many of
them workingmen who had been allowed
an hour off TO hear Bryan.
Mr.. Bryan was greeted with hearty
theers. He was introduced by Mr.. Cum
'lngs. and so rapidly was the meeting
opened that within ten minutes after he
stepped off tho train Mr.. Bryan had
opened speech that lasted over three
quarters Of an hour and barely left time
for the party 10 he driven to take lunch
con with Mr.. Cummings and u few
friends.
The speech was about equally divided
between the currency question: the trusts
and Imperialism.
Il believe" said Mr.. Bryan, "that the
tendency of the Republican party is to
eXalt wealth and to dcbase common hu-
manity The dollar mark is plainly
stamped upon the Republican policy. and
there is no policy of the Republicans to-
day that does not bear that stamp"
He went on to say that the Republican
party is not. applying today the principle
enumerated in the Declaration of Inde-
pendence. THAT principle applied to
taxation would mean that every man
would bear his just share of the burden
of taxation. but now an unjust proportion
of that burden is placed upon the poor.
THE Republican party" he said ''is
trying to fastcn upon the country Il sys-
TEN of taxation made by financiers for
their own benefit. When the doctrine of
favoritiSm is once started, it cannot be
stall. To fasten upon the country the
gold standard means that it will be af-
fected by every change in Europe. If
there is so much disturbance created be-
cause England is fighting few Beers
who are struggling for their independ-
ence, what would he the result if ENG
land tackled nation of her size"

rcscntative Cooper Of Texas. repeating
the law of 1893 in reference to the free

law was to suspend the bonding of goods

Mexico, in tho hope that Mexico would
take like action and that the smuggling
across the zone would be stopped. But
it has been found that the effect of the
law was to divert traffic from American
