Anthracite Strike Matter Semi
Back to the Commission by
the Operators.
PROPOSED CONFERENCE Is DECLINED
Independent Operators Being Its Ac'
tive Opponents.
They Want All the Facts to Come Out
Before the Arbitrators and Say
They Have a Perfect Case.

New York, Nov. Pa serious hitch
occurred yesterday in the plans for a
settlement Of the coal controversy by
conference between the coal operators
and the miners union, and 1t is now
almost certain that the final adjust
ment of the points at issue will be
sion. At a meeting between the presi-
dents of the coal roads and a large
number of Independent operators a
strong protest was entered by the lat
ter against treating directly with the
miners.
He Would Inform the Public.
The protest was presented by c. d.
Simpson, Of tile West End Coal COM
pany. who said in part: During the
last five months no consistent effort
has been made to inform the public
of the true state of affairs Conse-
Quently it has accepted the miners
version and believes we are treating
employees unfairly, defrauding them of
their earnings and preventing them
from making IL decent livelihood. 1t is
our opinion that testimony
may be taken which will prove clearly
to the public at large that the wages
we have paid and the treatment &C.
corded our men have been fair, and
that their earnings have been large
in proportion to the intelligence re-
quired and their willingness to work.
Why So Many Men Are Employed.
"As to miners il can be shown that
their annual earnings are more than
the amount called fair wages which
was specified by two witnesses called
for the plaintiff. Their wages per hour
are greater than those of skilled me-
chanics working ard living in the
same regions. and they wtrk less hours
per day through ch:ce. and conse-
quently--through the s.me choice
less days per year. since the operator
must employ large number of men
in order to secure the output which
might be produced 10y a fraction Of
that number. This Is very readily
susceptible OF proof by our books aud
those Of your own mining company

STEAMER GOES ASHORE
She Is In Bad shape-Her Crew of Eig ht
cen Is All Safely Landed by
Life Savers.

Lorain, O., Nov. 26.-The steamer
Quito, ore laden from Escanaba to
Cleveland, ran ashore while trying to
make this port at p. m. yesterday. A
northeast gale prevailed at the time.
The captain, twelve of the crew and
the steward were first rescued, but two
engineers and two mates were left in
the engine room. A boat sent to their
rescue afterwards was able to get off
but one of the mates. the other three
remaining aboard waiting for assist
ance
At midnight they were taken off by
the Cleveland life saving crew. The
Quito sprung leak during the heavy
wind, hence the endeavor to reach this
port instead of going to Cleveland. The
boat is believed to be so badly wrench
ed that it will be a total loss. 1t is
owned by James Corrigan, of Cleve-
land.

To Proceed Against Men Who Prescribe q
Man for Belonging to the Ma

Albany, n. Y, Nov. 26.-Attorney
General Davies, in an opinion submit
ted to Governor Odell in the Potter
case, holds that the state has no pow
er to proceed against the Schenectady
painters union for expelling Potter be-
cause Of his membership in the Nation

No charge can be brought against the
union for conspiracy, as there is no
proof that the union did anything more
than notify Potter's employers that he
was q non~union worker.

POLICE HAD LOST THEIR GRIP
They Soon Recovered It When Palma
Walked Up the Mayor.

Woke0 Up the Mayor
Greenwood had asked for protection
from the civil governor, but the au-
lie vehicles. A mob of strikers drove
the Elen on the Western railroad from
the trains during the morning. The
mayor of Havana and the secretary of
government, Dieg Tamayo, had during
the past week openly sympathized with
the strikers. and had given orders to
the police not to use force in dispeIs-
ing the crowds, and under these condi-
tions the police were unable to cope
with the strikers.
The situation was approaching a
critical point at noon, serious disor-
ders having taken place in front of the
palace itself, in which a police officer
Damed MasO and a number of police
men and strikers received injuries,
when President Palma sent word to
the mayor that unless the city au-
thorities could preserve order and pro-
teet the railroad company the state
would intervene The mayor then took
drastic measures. and issued an edict
prohibiting crowds from gathering in
the streets, and authorizing the chief
of police to kill, if such action should
be necessary, to preserve order
Frequent clashes between the strik-
ers and the police occurred in all parts
of the city. The police were obliged
to charge a mob of rioters at the
slaughter house, and several among
the latetr were injured The vigorous
attitude Of the police now made itself
felt and traffic on the car lines was
resumed and continued with only oc-
casional Interruptions. Most of the in
juries sustained by the strikers wers
caused by the policemen's clubs.
The Central Veterans Union. head
ed by General Gomez, held a meeting
and sent word to the labor unions that
IL the disorders continued the veterans
would offer their services to President
Palma to preserve order. No bread
or meat was on sale yesterday, and a
continuance of the strike viii cause
much suffering to the poor.
Senior Tamayo has resigned his Of
fee of secretary of government, but
President Palma will not accept bis
resignation until the strike has been
settled

CANTEEN IS DEFENDED
As Better Than to Have the Men
Get Theft Firewater at
Outside Saloons.
GREAT PERCENTAGE OF IMBIBERs
In Sixty Companies Every Man q
Drinker-Official Reports from
the Philippine Islands.

Washington, Nov. 25.-The war de-
partment is in constant receipt of data
concerning the canteen question and
the effect of its abolition on the army.
Apropos of this the statement is made
at the war department that only such
information as has been contained in
the reports of army officers upon the
subject has been given to the public,
and it is denied thatany effort has been
made to influencepublic opinion on the
matter. 1t is said at the department
that the recommendations of the adju-
tant general in his annual report were
based upon the information contained
in these reports.
Effect of Closing the Canteen.
1t is pointed out that the existence
Of something like 1,400 saloons in the
vicinity of army posts is shown by the
reports received at the department, 250
to 300 Of which are said to have been
opened since the closing of the can
teen. This further statement is made
at the department.: The majority of
posts have reported that drunkenness
and court martials for drunkenness
have increased: that desertioh and alb
sence without leave have increased.
and that the effect of the closing of
the canteen upon the marality, discipline
and health of the troops has been bad.
II. Has Done No Good.
While many post commanders are. in
consequence of frequent changes Of
garrison and from the absence of cor
rect data upon which to base compari-
sons, unable to report as to the de-
gree of detriment created by the clos
ing Of the canteen, it can be stated as
an absolute fact that in no single case
has post commander expressed an
opinion that the effect Of the abolition
of the sale of beer in the army has
resulted In improved conditions.
