THR THREATENED STRlKE-A POSI-.
Pile r ESIII IT.
BILE RESULT

The country cannot contemplate the
possibility of general strike In all the
coal mines of the nation without a shud-,
der. If the national convention Of mine
workers, which is to meet in Indianapolis
July II, should vote to order a general
strike 1t is certain that it would suspend
practically all of the mines in the coun-3
try, for a time at least.< 1t is plain that
the coal miners were never so complete
" organized as now and it is probable
that the total number of men obeying the
strike order would be greater than the
total membership of the union, which is
now 100000 out Of possible 100000.
The moment the mines closed the price
Of coal would begin to rise, and within
three months the supply would be ex-
hausted. The prospect of the immense
manufacturing Industries OF the country,
now throbbing with unparalleled activity
suddenly brought to standstill by lack
Of coal, is terrifying. 49, i y n
A condition of peace and plenty and
contentment would Immediately be
changed to one Of discord, scarcity and
unrest. Millions of men would be thrown
out of work. the transportation systems
would be paralyzed, waterworks would be
shut down, the whole nation would be in
the condition Of a starving man, for coal
is the food Of manufacturing industries.
If this menace is realized we shall not
envy the anthracite miners and anthra-
cite carrying railways. The nation will
summarily find them guilty of the whole
wretched business But through such a
strike thus brought on the coal monopoly
I may work it's own abolition. - Z1ss* -
The necessity of forever removing from
the realm of possibility another such
catastrophe as the, closing of the coal
mines would make the question of owner
ship and control of coal mining ques-
tion of national Importance. Men will ask
whether it is safe to permit the indus
tries and welfare Of whole nation to be
,jeoparded through private control of coal
mines which are the product of no man.
skill. which cannot be replaced which
are needed by the whole nation. >
In other words, such a strike as that
now threatened, which is possible because
tHe auLnTdclLe DdfOAS look upon = LQe
strike at their mines as mere means Of
making more money for themselves, will
likely raise the question of nationaliza-
tion Of coal mines. 1t might be brought
into the realm Of practical politics with
| lightning rapidity. The mine owners
would, then find that they have killed the
| goose that has laid them so many golden
eggs, - -. ..~, 20 -, z~-.:r
| If the government, in defense. Of -ss1e
industries of the nation, has to purchase
the coal mines, no fancy prices will be
paid. There will be feeling that what
the miners have made in the past out OF
what is sort Of national heritage should
make them content with a low valuation
| for condemnation. T.. ....5...... -: a; -

general like the sensational journey

city, east and west, and lived the life of a

where big sociological experiment has
been undertaken, and also in the camps
OF the gold and silver miners, living with
them and studying the conditions Of

Federal Court Decides Against
Gates--Latter May Use Force
or Ask For a Receiver.

Denver, August l9-The John W i.
Gates faction OF the Colorado Fuel &
Iron company have lost another round
in their battle for the control Of that
company. !
Judge Riner Of the United States dis
trict court tonight denied their applica-
tion for preliminary injunction to pre-
vent the present officials OF the company
from refusing to allow them to vote prox
les they claim to hold, at the stockhold-
ers meeting, that is scheduled for this
city tomorrow.
The suit which was brought in the
name OF John j. Mitchell and others
against the Colorado Fuel & Iron COM
pany was based upon the alleged fraud
ulent and absolutely void law rule which
was adopted by the board OF directors Of
the company on July 80 last and which
the complainants charged was framed
and adopted for the purpose OF enabling
the present officials OF the company to
dictate the action OF tomorrow's meeting
and also to deprive the complainapts
and the stockholders they represent by
proxy from voting at such meeting.
Judge Riner held that the allegations
in the bill OF complaint we're fully met
and denied by the answer OF the defend
ant company.
In deciding the application for pre-
liminary injunction the court was not
expected to paes ugon the question OF
law. However, he would say that upon
the face OF the y-law, it provided for an
orderly and lawful methodof conducting
a shareholders meeting and that appar-
emily there was no other purpose in
view. The bylaw was adopted in good
faith.
The application for preliminary in.
junction would therefore be denied.
