When the Gold Digger, or anyone, anything for it, states that THE NUGGET had tried by threats and ntimidatons to force the newsboys to discrimi- nate against a Nome newspaper, it, or they, or all combined, ie willuly, maliciously and deliberately. ii this Is not plain enough, we will try and make it more luminous. The Digger is trhe previous and 1t Is so well acquainted with ways that devious that truth is to it an unknown quantity.

 We are not ready to concede that the protection policy of the republican party is the mother of trusts, nor that revision of the tariff will either cripple them or keep them from multiplying Trusts, it seems to the growth solely of economic cond- tions which would have arisen even with moderate tariff laws. The campaign of 1904 promises to be one Of the most interesting in many years It is still early o predict what the chief issues may be, but in all probability, the tariff and the trusts will be in thc f,ycrr0uu,l

defense to the allegations made by the
complainants before the commission,
that any award the commission would
render would be far less than the
amount we understand that it is pro-
posed to concede, especially to miners
and their la5ore1s
$50. That aside from any money con-
siderations, this commission, composed
as we believe of men that are abso-
lutely fair, unbiased and Of unusual
experience and good Judgment, in
their findings will make such declara-
tion as will for many years put bar
upon unlawful practices, oppression OF
non-union men, unjustifable demands
and other grievances from which We
have been suffering ever since 1900,
when the union first took possession
of cur property. II, on the other hand,
this settlement be made now, when not
a single witness has been called on our
part or on your behalf, it will be an
absolute and distinct surrender to the
miners union, and the troubles above
referred to will not only be continued,
but SO magnifed as to be absolutely
unbearable.
'sThe hearing before the anthracite
coal strike commission presents the first
opportunity that the coal operators
have ever had of presenting their case
before the general public who are an
important third party, since abstracts
at least of these proceedings are pub
lished all over the United States, and
it is duty that we owe to ourselves
as well as to them to prove that the
continued and repeated charges of in
justice, barbarity and e2tortion are
absolutely unfounded, all of which the
individual operators at least propose
do so.
"Tbe case as presented already
shows such weakness that we believe
they were almost disheartened when
these suggestions for a compromise
were made. We believe that any sur
render on our part which would be
practically what this compromise
would amount to, would be by far the
most serious mistake ever made IN the
anthracite coal BUSINESS. -

MINERS and OPERATORS
FAIL TO REACH AGREEMENT.
Coal Barons Refuse to Treat Di
rect With the Miners---Private
Operators Make Break---Rea-
sons for Their Action Filed.

New York, Nov. Pa serious
hitch occurred today in the plans fol
settlement of the coal strike con-
troversy by conference between the
coal operators and the miners union,
and it is now almost certain that the
final adjustment Of the points at issue
will be referred again to the coal
strike commission.
AT meeting between the presidents
Of the coal roads and large number
Of independent. operators strong pro-
test was entered by the latter against
treating directly with the miners. An
invitation to meet Mr.. Mitchell at
Scranton on Friday was declined per-
emptorily and it was agreed unani-
mously that in the Judgment OF the
operators it was best, for the present.
to go on with the hearing before the
coal commission. The meeting of the
independent operators and railroad Off
cials lasted about an hour and at its
close President Fowler of the New
York, Ontario and Western said that
President Baer of the Reading was pre-
pairing statement. Later the state
ment was issued and Mr.. Baer left at
once for Philadelphia.
After mentioning at the outset the
name of the private" operators pres
ent, the statement given out by Mr..
Baer says:
"They (the private operators) met
the coal presidents who had signed
the request to the president OF the
United States.
They presented a protest against
any adjustment being made at this
time, insisting that the principles in
volved we're so serious and affected so
many interests that it was necessary
now to have the commission hear all
the facts and pass its Judgment upon
the whole controversy. Mr.. Simpson,
as chairman, read a paper, expressing
their views and other gentlemen ex-
pressed decided opinions.
In the midst of the conference the
request earne from Washington to the
operators of both classes to meet Mr..
Mitchell and his associates next Fri
day morning at 10 O'Clock. The par
ties present, without dissent, instruct
ed Mr.. Baer to make the following
answer:
The conditions are such Chat no
substantial progress can be made by
the suggested meeting. The general
Judgment of the operators is that 1t
Will be best, for the present, to go on
with, the hearing. ="
