NOT A A OF HOPE.
Strike Situation Gives No Promise
r. of Eearly Settlement.

SIFtkG SITUATION IINGS mo FFOTltS {
i of Eearly Settlement.
Wilkesbarre, Pa, Sept. 16.-For the
first time in over a month there is not
a single rainbow in sight anywhere on
all the strike horizon.
What is more, it does not look as
though there were a single peg left on
which to hang one, unless it might be
something the president himself might
say or that somebody said he had said.
But even this would have to be some
thing pretty definite and specific to in
spire the strikers with much hope.
For the first time since the strike
began, nearly five months ago, Mr..
Mitchell occupies the center of the
stage alone and unsupported. All eyes
are fixed upon him and on him alone
for a hint as to what the next move
will be. That this week is one of the
most critical of any since the great
struggle began is generally accepted
as beyond question. Every Illusion
and delusion which has served to
Deceive the Miners
into the belief that the coal operators
would concede to compromise some-
thing is now gone. Strikers and ope-
rators are face to face on precisely the
same grounds on which they stood
last spring when the strike was de-
clared.
There are persistent rumors aloat
here that the Philadelphia & Reading
Coal and Iron company will to-day
post notices at their forty-eight col
lieries In the Pottsville region offering
the miners concessions to go to work.
1t is stated on seemingly good authori-
ty that a slight advance of wages will
be offered.
Supt. Barnard OF the Delaware,
Lackawanna e. Western company's
collieries in the Wyoming region last
evening notified Sheriff Jacobs that
additional men would be put to work
to-day at the collierles which resumed
operations last week and probably n
two more

Supt. Barnard fears that increased
activity at the mines may cause in
reference upon the part of outside
parties, and he requests the sheriff to
ample protection for the work
men. Sheriff Jacobs says he does not
expect an outbreak, but will have a

last evening that there was nc change
In the strike situation.
To-day will begin the nineteenth
week of the strike. The late on which
Plat predicted that the strike
would end has passed and the hope
which was installed into the people in
this locality because of that predic-
ton has been succeeded by a feeling
thai the end is still far off.

WHOSE RIVER Is IT.

Who owns the Arkansas river
The sleepy old stream has mean
dered SO long through Kansas
back yard that the state claims
it. But Colorado contests thu
claim. Like a wild colt the
waters rush down from the Colo.
RADIO Rockies, rush off to the
state line, and breaking through
! the boundary, move leisurely ON.
Colorado is willing for Kansas te
own the right OF way and road
bed, but she claims the rolling
stock since it is made in her own
shops.
Before irrigation came in fash
ion nobody wanted Arkansas
river water which is too muddy
for even a Kansas prohibitionist,
but now Colorado wants it for
her potato patch and uses it so
much that Kansas grasshoppers
are driven to strong drink. The
ranchmen of western Kansas
have become so obstreperous
over the water famine that their
rulers feared an attempt to
squeeze the humidity out of the
railroad stock; SO they carried
their grievances up to the su-
preme court and that body is go
ing to tell who owns the river.
OF course they will have to give
all the water to one or the other,
for if they should decide that SO
gallons belong to Colorado
and SO many gallons to Kansas,
that would be 'tdividin' up" and
nobody but socialists believe in
it.
Colorado seems to have the
best of it for If matters come to
the worst she can dig a pond and
corral all the fluid, but if Kansas
can get the ear of the supreme
tribunal she can get more than
even with her hydrokleptic sister.
Colorado has piled up the
Rocky mountains SO they shut
off the view from Kansas west
window. Kansas can have the
court abate the nuis-
ance, tear down the Instructions
and then the river might run the
other way. There is no telling
what q court can do till it tries.
