INFAMOUS TREATMENT OF COAL.
MINERS.

There have been strikes and strikes;
some justitiable, some vicious. But
10 man with a heart in his anatomy
can fail TO s%ympathize today with
the striking coal miners Of Pennsyl.
vania.
Recently the Pittsburg Dispatch
sent out its correspondents to the
strike centers to find out these things
concerning the miner:
"First-His gross income from his
labor for the last year.
1Secoud-Che amount OF rent which
he paid to the mine out Of his
gross income.
-Third-Ihe percentage i'll excess
Of the market price which he was
forced to pay for his provisions at the
company stores"
The showed that the
average mihcr'6 gross income for the
pnst year has been 1900, or S25 per
month. Out Of this no has to pay
from 81 to SS, an average OF &C to the
mining company for u miserable
shanty OF two or three rooms, let
the mouth Of the mine. Out OF the
remaining $40 per month he must
provide for his family, nearly always
from the company store, where the
prices are 10 to 90 per cent, above
ordinary retail figures, and buy oil
and powder from the company Mt
equally extortionate prices. With a
wife and family to support the miner
thus has a pretty tough time Of it.
In addition he is often swindled at
the screen and through long weights,
in one instance 5000 pounds being
called Il ton.
About this matter, the Wheeling,
West Virginia, Register says:
under these and other similar con.
ditions the big coal companies &C.
cumulate surplus OF product, IN
other screS ID frightened here and
there until the miner, unable to stand
it any longer, strikes, and then the
company turns on the public. and the
price OF coal to the is
boosted until the surplus ia worked
of. This has been done III the
present case"
The coal companies, theforc. are
double thieves-the language is
strong, but it is fully justified by the
facts.
The Coal Trust robs it's haggard
and ~over-worked employees at one end
Of the line and the consumers at the
other.
And Mark Hanna says there are no
Trusts-but, II there are, they are
good things.-Bee.

The history of the piano industry affords
few parallel instances where manufacturers
have received such tribute and public rec
ognition Of the merits Of their piano, claim
ed to be unrivaled. as have VIM. knabe &
Co. From the incipiency Of the business,
in the year 1887, Knabe & Co. have stead
fastly adhered to the policy laid down by
the founder, VIM. Knabe the production
of the very best piano possible to human
ingenuity and skill. How close the firm has
come to that end. perfection, Is evidenced
by the tributes accorded them by the
worlds greatest artists and by the unso-
licited testimonials Of unnumbered pur-
chasers.
The Washington business Of VIM. Knabe
& Co. was never more fiourishing. and the
wisdom Of their move to their centrally
located and admirably arranged warerooms
at 1909 Pennsylvania avenue. IS daily ap-
parent. VIM. Knabe & Co. carry In ad-
dition to their own piano, full and COM
prehensive line of less expensive instru-
ments, and the purchaser must indeed be

piano suitable to his needs, among the many

at this establishment. The terms Of pay

WHITE HOUSE AND MALL
CONSIDERED IN Resolutions
ADOPTED BY SQUARE CLUB.
Demand That Changes ia Mansion BE
Approved by Architects-Rail-
way Through Park.

| At special meeting of the Square
Club held recently resolutions were unani-
mously adopted setting forth that as 1.-The
White House is not only y historic monu-
| ment, held in highest rega>f eT the Ameri-
can people, but is also structure of great
beauty and one of the most important ex-
amples of the architecture of our country;
as the problem of its enlargement Is one
requiring the highest skill and finest ar
chitectural judgment, and there have
been made certain plans for the enlarge
| ment of the White House, appropriations
for the execution of which are now being
sought, and these plans present an emf
nently unsatisfactory design and do not
commend themselves to educated archi-
tectural sentiment;
'Now. therefore, We, a representative
body of architects demand that any change
to- the w hite House be first approved by
a commission of distinguished architects
appointed by the President, and we urge
that Congress pass no appropriation for
alterations or additions to the White
House until such Endorsement be given
Resolutions were also adopted to the eff
feet that "the plan of the federal city
as laid out by Major LEnfant and Gen
eral Washington is uneXcelled by that of
any city in the world, the mall being the
most important and beautiful element of
that plan, possessing possibilities of artis-
tic development greater than those of any
other park in our country. and as Congress
| is actively engaged in legislation involving
the elevating of the railroad tracks across
the mall and the building of train sheds
on the mall, and as such structures will
be fatally detrimental to the artistic effect
of the mall and will be blot upon the
landscape. growing always more and more
Objectionable with the country's growth
in artistic appreciation;
Now, be it therefore resolved that Con-
gress be and is hereby urged to provide for
the removal or the depression of the said
tracks below the surface of the ground,
and that the President be and is hereby
urged to veto any bill which provides for
the retention of tracks across the mall
without providing for their depression"
