MINERS GATHERING
TO SETTLE STRIKE
QUESTION
ADVANCE GUARD ARRIVES IN IN
DIANAPoLIs BUT AS YET Ac-
TON OF THE CONVENTION Is
PRoBLEMATIcAL.
GREATEST HOPES THAT STRIKE
WILL BE ADOPTED COMES FROM
FACT THAT ALL LOOK TO
MITCHELL.

Indianapolis July 10. The advance
guard of delegates to the great miners
convention, which Will meet in this city
Thursday will arrive tomorrow morning.
The Ohio men will probably be the first
to get IN. as word was received today
from William Richards Of the Ohio or
ganization that their delegation would ar
rive Monday in large numbers.
Whether a general strike win be or
cered or not will be the great question of
the convention. What action the miners
will take is problematical. The national
officers of the miners organization are
expected to oppose this movement. The
radical element, which is in favor of the
general tie-up, will have great deal of
strength In the meeting, however, and
may be able to control affairs.
The five district that called the con-
vention-the three anthracite districts of
Pennsylvania, with West Virginia and
Michigan-will probably vote for the gen.
eral strike. A majority vote is all that
is needed to decide on this action and
the five districts will have over one-third
the nominal voting strength of the or
ganization
There are locals scattered all over the
other districts which were dissatisfied
with the scale adopted at the last con-
vention and IL enough of these send rad
ical delegates to make a majority by
voting with the districts where strikes
are pending the general tie-up will un-
doubtedly be ordered.
The greatest hope that the convention
will defeat the proposition for a gem
eral strike comes from the fact that the
miners are still willing apparently to
follow the advice of President Mitchell
From all advices received all over the
mining region it is evident that many
of the delegates are instructed to follow
his suggestions under all circumstances
While Mr.. Mitchell has never expressed
himself on the question of the general
strike, it Is believed he is opposed to 1t,
except as last resort
The greatest opposition to the general
strike will come from Ohio, Indiana, Illi-
nois and the bituminous fields of Penn
sylvania. These districts have an agree
ment with the operators and the men are
opposed to breaking the contract.
1t is almost a foregone conclusion that
the convention will take steps to provide
a defense for the anthracite strikers
whether a general tie-up is decided on
or not.
President Mitchell and members of the
national executive committee are ex-
upected tomorrow

market is not known to most people, be-
cause the trusts-and the protected
trusts are the worst offenders-take
pains to conceal export prices and prac-
tically pledge all parties concerned to
keep all such knowledge from reaching
the public.
After having investigated this subject
for more than ten years, 1 have reached
the conclusion that practically all of our
manufactured products are sold to for
eigners for less than to Americans The
minimum difference is about 10 per cent
The average difference in price is prob
ably 20 per cent, and on our really pro-
tected products about rs per cent Often
we who pay the tariff taxes devoted to
nourisning these Infant industries
must pay so per cent, and sometimes 100
per cent more for the products of these
coddled industries than is paid by for
eigners who do not pay our nursing
taxes. Thus during the two years ending
December 81, 1900, we exported 1885, 900, 900
pounds of wire nails. Had these nails
been sold in this country they would
have brought s3,650OO0 according to the
average price of 2.6S cents per pound,
giveh in the Iron Age of January 3, 1901.
The governments statistics tell us that
the foreigners paid s3,22O0O0, or an aver
age of "A cents per pound AS nails
were being sold for export in December,
1881 at via, Wnen tney were being sold
here for 1888 per keg, the highest price
within ten years, 1t is probable that the
average export price for 1899 and 1900 was
about cents per pound; that is, our
petted steel and wire trust charged us
about $1,0000O0 more than it charged for
eigners for the same quantity of nails
In these two years
BY Profits from Tariff.
"Was not this 81 ,0O0 900 of excess profit
extracted from our people by means of
the tariff? Is legalized robbery too strong
a term to apply to such profits? If the
people knew that they were being robbed
of hundreds of millions of dollars in
this way every year, would we not soon
have the tariff in politics again? Are
not the protected trusts wise when they
do their utmost to suppress such facts
and to keep them from the people?
Perhaps I may be permitted to remark
here that when l learned that your COM
mission was going to investigate the
trusts indulged the fond hope that. with
your power to compel witnesses to testify
you would bring out these most important
of all facts regarding trusts that you
would compel hundreds of trust officials
to disclose actual export prices, and
actual profits and capital (Which but few
outsiders know, in addition to their ram
bling generalizations which do not great
ly concern outsiders

RAILROAD MEN SAY THEY HAVE
MADE NO NEW AGREEMENT
AND SAME TERMS WILL BE Of
FERED TODAY.

Chicago, July 1S.-Fina1 overtures for
the settlement of the strike of freight
handlers and teamsters were made at
meetings of the two unions tonight. At
the instigation of the members of the
Chicago board of arbitration, the freight
handlers agreed to send committees to all
the railroads tomorrow morning. This
agreement was made after the board had
announced to the union men that eight of
the largest railroads entering Chicago
had agreed to pay 171k cents an hour to
truckers and pay for over time and to do
away with the demand for probationary
period of service.
The general managers of two of the
railroads said tonight they had agreed
to no such proposition. They declared
that when the committee should visit
the railroad offices tomorrow morning the
railroads will offer them the same terms
as those which were rejected by the
union men yesterday. The statement of
the general managers destroyed the hope
of settlement by the general managers
of the railroads.

FREIGHT HANDLERS
WILL AGAIN CALL
ON RAILROADS

FINAL oVERTUREs FOR SETTLE
MENT OF THE CHICAGO STRIKE
MADE AT MEETINGS OF THE
TWO UNIONS.
The Birmingham age-herald. [volume] (Birmingham, Ala.) 1902-1950, 1902-07-14
Settlement Very Difficult.

Even had the general managers not In
sisted upon maintaining their position 1t
Is not probable that a settlement could
be effected The freight handlers agreed
to make another effort to reach a settle
ment with the railroads only to please
the teamsters who previously had en-
dorsed the attempt of the board of arbi-
tration to settle the strike
There Is lack of evidence of their in
tention to make serious effort to set
tie the controversy. President Curran of
the Freight Handlers Union stated to-
right that the committees tomorrow morn
ing will insist upon the payment of IS
cents an hour testead of 171s cents which
the railroads are reported to have Of
fered.
He also stated that the freight handlers
will make no more overtures, and here
after will reject all proposals which
shall not stipulate for the payment of
the wage scale as formulated by the
union, and the recognition of the organ
ization.
With the general managers and the
union both maintaining these respective
positions, it is believed that there is
slight chance for settlement tomorrow,
and that when that opportunity shall
have vanished 1t will be a fight to a
finish.
Every teamster's union in Chicago
that has members handling freight voted
today to refuse to take teams to the
freight depots.
Longshoremen Organized.
Longshoremen of Chicago who have
been in only partially organized con-
dition, were formed into a union today.
They are out now in sympathy with the
freight handlers, but tomorrow may in
augurate an independent strike of their
own, if higher scale of wages for load
ing and unloading the big lake boats
shall be refused
The ice teamsters also have agreed not
to ice refrigerator cars, nor to visit the
railroad yeards. This is virtually a
sympathetic strike and until the rail-
roads shall settle the trouble with the
freight handlers the ice storage plants
along the railroad lines will be closed
The teamsters at a meeting today de-
termined that no member Of the union
shall go near the roalroad freight sheds
during the strike. While there Is little
likelihood of the coal teamsters being
asked to haul from the freight houses.
they decided to be prepared for such a
contingency by resolving not to touch
any articles unloaded from freight cars
by non-union laborers.
Truck Farmers Alarmed.
Carbondale, ILL.,, July Is. Fruit and
vegetable growers of southern Illinois are
much alarmed over the freight handlers
strike in Chicago. Thousands of dollars
worth of tomatoes are rotting in the
fields. None Of the growers or shipping
associations in the fruit belt will ship to
Chicago under present conditions.

Not in Politics.

The Times of Canon City in Its last
issue in little article on county COM
missioner, says that it is not in poll
tics. 1t then goes on to say that un-
fair means are being used to prejudice
voters against Mr.. Kelso and in favor
of Mr.. McCaudless for commissioner,
1t claims that the friends of Mr.
McCandless to create prejudice
have posted up copies of petition
against gambling and Sunday opening
of saloons in Florence which was
signed by Mr.. Kelso. We do not
think that the Times is guilty of will
fully and knowingly publishing false
| hood, yet il certainly liz misnformed
in this matter. and its entire story is
plain falsehood.
The truth is that no such move
inent ah luNtstiRhliou IeNthin mas eNeI
been done or undertaken in Florence.
Mr.. McCandless is too well known and
too we'll reputed as fair and honest
man to stoop to mean or vicious prac-
tices for political or other support.
And so far rs the matters of temper
ance and sobriety and obedience to
law are concerned, if the Times or
any other person can say aught against
him they are respectivefully invited to
do so, and such attacks and blunders
as the Times made are below the
notice of persons knowing Mr. Nc

thority for the statement that the pro-
duction of the Cripple Creek district
jumped up fully ~ per cent during
the month of Cctober the increase
aggregsting 1000 tons. He says that
the encouraging feature of the gain is
that il comes alomst exclusively from
new small producers. The old mines
have kept up their regular production,
rendering it easy to determine the
suorce of the Increase. The War

is recent new shipper, while the Nil

100 MEN KILLED IN
MINE EXPLOSION

Salt Lake, Utah, July 16, 2;3O a. M
A telephone message just received
here from Park City says that the mag
azine on the l200-foot level of the Ia.
.ly.West mine exploded at O'Clock
this morning, causing great loss OF
life.
One hundred and fifty men were at
work in the mine at the time of the cX'
plosion. At this hour, 1890 a. m.
eighteen bodies have been recovered,
and 1t is feared the death list may eX'
coed 100.
Gases are issuing from the mouth
of the mine, preventing rescue parties
from entering. It will probably be two
hours before the exact number OF dead
can be ascertained.
All the physicians in Park City have
been called upon and have gone to the
scene.
The Daly-West Is one of the greatest
mines in Park City. It was equipped
with complete plant of the most mod.
era machinery. The most conserTa.

FEARS war BETWEEN
Japan AND RUSSIA

Victoria. B. c., July 15.-Major Cen
eral Sir A. II. f. Dorward, who was in
command of the allied troops at Tien
tsin. arrived by the Empress of India.
In an interview he said that unless
Russia withdrew from Manchuria, aC-
cordng to the terms of the agreement
with China, there would be war in the
Far East, as Japan was prepared to
fight to get Russia out of that terri
tory.
Although Russia had not yet made
any move toward evacuation, he had ne
doubt that she would do so when she
J found that Japan was in earnest.
