STRIKE DUE TO RAILROADS.

i!;'zi"ioH. Pa. Sept. 2l-Presidant Mitch
ell Tonight ISSUED the following statement:
FULLY conscious Of the vast public inter
ests involved by the great contest now be
ing waged between organized capital and
undergrad labor and as much has 'been s,id
and written upon the subject of arbitration
in the present anthracite coai strike as
president of the United Mine Workers of
America ! am imrelled 10 define my own
attitude and the attitude of my official col
leagues and the striking mine workers to-
ward the coal operator ia 4 way so clear
anL definite rs to leave no further misun-
derstamGiug
"fh" striking miners recognize as their
real opponents in this struggle for a slight
amelioration Of the hard. grinding condi-
lions of the miners life nine railroads.
which. with their presidents, are: Penn

Railroads the Reai Enemies.
''These nine railroad corporations. besides
producing approximately 70 per cent Of the
hard coal. are the sole carriers to the tide
water of all coal mined in the anthracite
field of Pennsylvania. and for this service of
carriage charge OF from 10 to Is per cent
per ton, according TO the size Of the coal. is
made Incredible as 81 may appear. they
charge three times as much to carry a ton
Of anthracite coal 10 miles as is charged TO
carry hitEminous ton of coal the same dis
taDce. So exorbitant are the rates that the
legitimate profits which should be credited
to the mining departments OF these railroads
are absorbed by freight rates, and as a con-
sequence their coal properties are made TO
show a small profit on their capitalization.
If this be the state Of affairs with the
railroad mining departments. what is the
condition Of the independent operator? Is
II not a matter Of reason that he can do
nothing which his railroad master will no.
commend?
Therefore whether or not individual, on
orators see In the railroad monopolies their
great enemies. whether or not the Individual
Operators feel themselves free to make cop,-
mon cause against these railroad systems. I.
speaking for the l3o.ce0 mine workers this
day on strike, recognize these railroads as
our real enemies and name their presidents
as the men responsible for refusal IN arbI-
traie or even confer upon the differences
which have grown up
Arbitration and MarLle.
Because the railroads are the real mas
:ers We can only regard such in5eno,g.,,,

POLLUTION OF WATER SUPPLIES
HOUSE COMMITTEE FAvoRs APPOINTMENT
OF COMMISSION

washington, Feb. IL Especially move
ment Tor National legislation to prohibit the
Pouu'lon OF water supplies, which sprang from
the Inauguration IN Missouri against the Chicago
drainage canal and has rapidIv gathered
strength as its Importance to all parts Of the
country came TO be appreciated has now re-
suited IN favorable report from the House
Committee on Interstate and Foreign Com
merce upon the bill to provide for an investiga-
ton Of the subject by a commission If Eve sani
tary experts, TO be appointed by the President
They are TO receive a salary Of S. 600 with a
contingent sum Of $4,000 for expenses and are
directed TO report their findings 10 the next SEES
sion OF congress. The necessity for the investi-
CATION, according to the committee, seems to be
generally admitted Professional men have rec
commended it for years. and the demand for It
on the part Of the people has gradually become
so strong that it should be ignored no longer
The bill has been Endorsed by the Boards Of
HeaIth Of Kentucky, Maryland, Michigan. Mis-
scurt. New-Jersey, New-York Ohio Wisconsin
and other States, and a number Of State Legis-
latures have petitioned their Representatives in
congress for its passage The American Health
Association National organization Of physi-
clans. has strongly recommended It, and the
committee is not aware Of any opposition TO
the measure from any quarter One of the
lnalienable rights Of the people is TO have the
water for drinking, for watering stock and for
manufacturing, agricultural and domestic uses
come to them free from pollution or sewage cast
into II by artificial drains from other States or
cities This right OF the people is often invaded
by the present method of disposing of the sew
age ana nth OF cities, towns villages and manu-
featuring establishments This is a common
practice IN many parts Of the country and the
Wen substantated claim that such pollution Of
the rivers is menacing the health and lives of
the people is the declared motive of the COM
mittee in recommending the legislation.
The ide4 is that if the commission finds that
the solicitude expressed for the public health is
un1ounded the matter might be dropped but
II the investigation should result in absolute
proof that water pollution is endangering the
peoples health Congress would enact laws to
combat and the evil The National capitaI
is deeply interested in the bill, as its drinking
supply is secured from the Potomac and that
river is polluted by towns and manufacturing
establishments in Virginia and Maryland under
the protection Of State laws In such cases
Congress alone, it is said, can effect remedy
