Settle the Strike.

The great strike of the anthracite coal
miners in eastern Pennsylvania is now un-
der way. majority OF the men are out
the mines are in most cases closed for the
lack Of workers and all indica tions point to
a complete tie-up of the operations for an
indefinite period. Both sides are stubbornly
facing the situation, with an avowed deter
mination not to yield. There has already
been slight disorder, resulting from assaults
of strikers upon non-union miners.
The situation. while otherwise peace
full now, Is nevertheless fraught with
the most serious possibilities for evil.
not alone in the provoking Of riots,
but in the suffertngs of the miners
and their families and in the effect upon the
coal consumers Of the country. 1t is to the
interest of every class that the strike be
settled without delay. that the mines be re-
opened. the men restored to their wage
earning the price Of coal fixed reasonably
for the winter and the chance Of serious
disorder effectually overcome.
Therefore every effort should be made to
prevent the strike from going to extremes
and further to effect a settlement between
the operators and their workers. Such ef-
forts can be exerted, as usual, by political
parties, whether applied to the operators or
10 the slrhefs ny lio representatives OF
the churches. whatever may be their points
of view. by the leaders Of the men and by
the operators themselves.
In short. the paramount duty Of all con-
cerned directly or indirectly. all who have
influence with either side. all who can ad-
ducs an argument or exert pressure, Is to
readjust the differences between these oppo-
nents. 1t is necessary to effect a settlement
soon. or this strike will probably follow the
course OF Its predecessors and lead to In
tense suffering among the miners and to
clashes between the men and the forces Of
law. Meanwhile. ths general community
must be protected from losses and suffer-

Kentucky and Shirt Waists.
From the Fall River Herald.

THE Kentucky legislature has enjoyed a good
deal Of unenviable notoriety during the last few
august body will go far toward restoring 1t to
favor in the eyes OF the world. A resolution,
house Of representatives yesterday granting per-
mission to all the lawmakers TO appear in shirt
cincts of the chamber. The proviso that no gar
ment shall contain more than six eolors of the
rainbow n q wise one, for a shirt waist Of seven
colors would be considered good ground for man
slaughter in states where men even much less
quick on the trigger than they In Kentucky. -
-Washington Star.
The better element in the Kentucky
legislature had worthy object In view
when 1t granted permission to all law
makers to appear In shirt waists. BY thus
encouraging the latter to discard their
coats and vests the temptation to carry
the concealed weapon Is the bane Of the
Kentucky legislator.
