The APPEAL TO THE PRESIDENT

THE situation in the coal-tields of
Pennsylvania as portrayed by the mine
owners in their interview with Presi
dent ROOSEVELT is closely akin to the
conditions which have existed in South
Carolina, Mississippi, Louisiana, Ark
ansas and lastly in Kentucky and North
Carolina. Any one who will read care
fully the statements of these moneyed
men, will understand why the Presi
dent was greatly 6ispleased with their
comment on the situation.
They said that the mob should not
Zoe dallied with or their leaders encour-
aged. 1t was his business to see to il
that the laws of this country were
enforced to the end that men desiring
so work shall be protected from vio-
1ence at the hands of men who do not
desire that they should work. He was
told that if this could not be done and
corporations and individuals protected
in their property rights, then this gov
eminent of ours is miserable failure.
The question presented is similar to the
one which is now confronting the ma
ton, not only in the South, but in
many parts of the North. Colored men
have been driven out of Arkansas, In
diana, and even Illinois.
In the latter state, the National Guard
was used to uphold the dignity of state
Laws. In North Carolina, the same
conditions prevailed and colored mon
are to-day spread over the North as ref.
ugees, who dare not return to their ma.
tive cities. We have maintained that
such treatment Of colored men would

Soldiers Where Most Needed and to

Work

Harrisburg. Pa. Oct z. - Governor
Stone late last night ordered out the
entire division OF the National Guard
of Pennsylvania for duty in the anthra-
cite coal regions The soldiers began
arriving in the field this morning. The
order calling out the guard Is as fol-
lows:
Headquarters National Guard. Ad-
tutant Generals Office, Harrisburg.
October 6.
In certain portions OF the counties
OF Luzerne, Schuylkill, Carbon, Lacka-
wanna, Susquehanna, Northumberland
and Columbia, tumults and riots fire.
quently occur, and mob law reigns,
men who desire to work have been
beaten and driven away, and their
families threatened. Railroad trains
have been delayed, stoned and the
tracks torn up. The civil authorities
are unable to maintain order and have
called upon the governor and COM
mander-in-chief of the National Guard
for troops. The situation grows more
serious each day. The territory in
VolYed is so extensive that the troops
now on duty are insufficient to prevent
all disorder. The presence of the en-
tire division, National Guard OF Penn
sylvania, is necessary in these coun-
ties to maintain the public peace.
The major general commanding will
place the entire division on duty, dis
tributing them in such localities as will
render them most effective for pre-
serving the public peace. AS tumults.
riots. mobs and disorder usually occur
when men attempt to work in and
about the coal mines, he will see that
all men who desire TO work and their
families have ample military protec-
ton, and will see that threats, intimi-
dations, assaults and all acts of VIC
lence cease at once. The public peace
and good order will be preserved upon
all occasions and throughout the sew
eral counties, and no interference
whatever will be permitted with off,
GERS and men In the discharge of their
duties under this order. The dignity
and authority OF the state must be
maintained and her power to suppress
all lawlessness within her borders be
asserted.
WILLIAM A STONE. Governor"
This is the first time since the Home
stead riots in 1892 that the entire divi-
sion OF the guard has been ordered out
for strike duty. The cost to the state
OF this tour OF duty will probably ex-
eeed 100000 How long the troops
will be kept In the field depends entire
~ on the situation in the coal regions.
AS soon as the strike Is settled the
troops will be withdrawn. Should the
men return to work under military
protection and there should be no
danger OF a serious outbreak, II is
probable the soldiers will be gradually
withdrawn
Governor Stone denied that he had
ordered out the entire state militia
on the request OF President Roosevelt.
He said he has had no communication
with the president on the subject
