A young woman, writing in the New

are not proper for men, but that the belt
should be of the same material as the

for from $50 to $l10. 1t is evident this

John III. Morris, of Youngstown, is q

to present

to the Mahoning county man, at all
events. IL Mr.. Howells succeeds In
his candidacy, it is not likely that Mr.
Morris will insist upon his candidacy
for treasurer. He and Mr.. Howells are
friends and If one fails great effort
will he made for the other. So the
Eighteenth district is destined to play
an important part in the deliberations
of the convention.
1t is understood that Canton is to
present a candidate for state central
committeeman, but the candidacy of nc
member of the delegation has reached
a definite state as yet.
The district meetings will be held
Tuesday afternoon, and the conven

obe Anfbraene Coal crisis.

An article in the April Atlantic by
Talcott Williams throws light upon
the real causes of the threatened strike
in the Pennsylvania coal fields. This
writer shows that strikes are often
the result of intense competition.
Every new machine and every shifting
of trade has in it the possibilities of
strikes in the industries affected.
Thus the invasion of England by
American steel products is likely to
produce labor troubles in English steel
mills. 1t is a change of this kind
that has forced the anthracite mine
Owners and their employees into state
constantly bordering on conflict. For
the first time both sides are now thor
;oughly organized and each feels the
pressure of conditions which seem to
it uncomfortable.
The real cause of the anthracite
troubles is the increasing competition
of bituminous coal From 1910 to 1860
the annuaI output of each of the two
kinds of coal was practically the
same. BY 1870 the anthracite had
forged anead of its rival in the proper
ton of 100000 tons to 1900 900 of
soft coal Anthracite had everything
in its favor and the iron of the coun-
try was made with this kind of coal
Miners got good wages and capital
made large dividends. Then the capt.
talists did as they usually do in such
cases-they watered their stock.
Between 1870 and 1850 the capital
engaged in anthracite increased from
$50, 900, 900 to s154.OOO, 900. Yet during
the same period bituminous coal sud-
denly leaped far ahead of anthracite.
in 1880 the hard coal output was 49,
100000 tons. while the soft coal was
nearly 42.000,00 tons. The use of coke
had been discovered. and the iron in
'dustries had begun to substitute btu
minous for anthracite coal. The an
thracite interests thus found them
selves heavily overcapitalized and face
to face with strong and unexpected
competition. Their decline dates from
that time. In the last twenty years
the anthracite output has doubled. but
that of bituminous coal has QUAD
| rupled. The Pennsylvania owners
sought to save themselves by employ
ing cheaper and less Intelligent labor.
They scaled down wages through the
company store. a high price for pow
der, and various devices for mulcting
the miner in weighing his output.
Strikes followed inevitably.
These conditions are still pressing

Although an Irishman by birth, Sen
iator William ]. Sewell of New Jersey
is of a rather serious turn of mind and
seldom INDUCES in jokes. although he
would not be an Irishman unless he
possessed a sense of humor. He was
born in 1885, came to this country at
an early age and was engaged in BUSH
ness at the outbreak of the civil war.
He enlisted in the northern army, was
given a captains's commission, and at
the close O. the war was a major gen.
eral. In 1872 he actively entered pol
itics and. after being for several terms
a state senator, he was elected to the
United States senate. He was chair
man Of the New Jersey delegation at
seven consecutive national conven
vsntions. including that of 1900.
General Sewell was for some time
actively interested in railroad affairs
and once, when he was holding an i'm
portant office in one of the large trunk
lines political enemy came to him
in a somewhat shamefaced way and
said:
General. should like to have trans
portation for myself and family TO Chi
cage"
The two political enemies eyed each
other for moment, and then General
Sewe1 called his private secretary and
told him to make out the passes to
Chicago. The politician accepted them.
expressed his thanks and departed. But
in few minutes he returned, exclaim-
ing:
Why. General. these do not say to
Chicago and return!"
"Of course not" exclaimed the gem
eral. Il want to get you out of the
state and I'm not interested in your

a Good American Plan.

An English shipbuilder says that
British shipbuilders are able to get
American steel at from 81 to IS less
a ton than the same steel is sold for on
this side Of the Atlantic. Adherence
on the part of the American manufact-
urers to this policy Of asking a high
price at home and a lower Price abroad
will, ne says, keep up the price Of ships
built in this country and keep down
the price of those built in Great Bri-
tain. There is no doubt that American
shipbuilders have been made to pay
excessive prices for STEEL. The benefit
of the great reduction in the cost Of
manufacture of that metal in this
country has not been enjoyed by them
as it has been enjoyed by men in the
same business in a foreign country
If the United States Steel company
were to add the building Of steel and
iron ships to the industries it is 10 be
engaged in it could turn out such ships
for use in the foreign or coasting trade
at prices which would defy COMPETE
ton. If the company were TO build
ships and sell them at a reasonable
figure Americans would buy and use
them to carry on trade with foreign
countries.

pier were a number of privates Of the
Sixth artillery, then stationed at the
fortress, taking their ease in the warm
sun on boxes and bales, awaiting the
arrival of the Newport boat
"A private. wiping the perspiration
from his brow, joined the group and
said: I've had dickens of a time
getting out here. never saw so many
colonels in my life. Every ten steps
on the way down the street and out on
the pier ran into a fellow with the
eagles on his shoulders, and had to
line up and salute. Some of them

A case that has aroused considerable

Present Day Army Necessities.

The government will have to pay
over 100000 to supply the soldiers
with little luxuries which were form
erly provided for from the profits of
the canteen. These so-called Injuries
have principally become necessities,
and include milk, spices and dried
fruits among other things. A re-
arrangement of the ration is therefore
possible. 1t has been generally sup
posed that much meat in warm eli
mates is not a good thing, but one OF
the ablest army surgeons now declares
that under the hot sun the carbon in
a white mans blood is speedily oxidiz-
ed and burned up by the sun and a
great deal of meat must be eaten to
supply the waste. The meat compon-
emit of the ration is. accordingly. likely
to be increased.

New Recruit. are priIIe l.

Colonel w. NJ. Van Horn. the com
manding officer of the new Twenty
ninth infantry regiment authorized by
the army reorganization bin. has been
at Fort Sheridan, H.. busy drilling his
forces and working the raw material
into form. Nearly 500 recruits for the
new regiment have already been Sc
cured, and it is expected that the quota
will be filled before May 1. He reports
that SO per cent of the men enlisted
thus far are American born This is
quite remarkable in view of the fact
that in the regiments organized two
years ago rs per cent of the men enlist
ed were of foreign birth. A band of
thirty pieces will be organized and
musicians are in great demand at Fort
Sheridan in consequence. A number
of men who have enlisted after the
expiration of their first term of service
are being given appointments as nom
commissioned officers of the new regi-
ment.
