THE MINERS ARE BUSY.
The Fear of Coal Strike September
1st Caused Activity.

Pittsburg. Kas.. Aug. 26.-The posi-
bility of a coal strike being declared
September 1, one week from Monday,
has had the effect of opening every
mine to its full capacity. Mines which
have been operated only two or three
days a week are running all the time,
and mines which have been closed all
summer are working full force. Usu-
ally the coal business improves about
October /, on account of the increased
winter, but the present activity in coal
mining is due to the possibility that a
strike will be declared Every railroad
has commenced to lay up supply of
coal. Every coal company Is filling its
yards.
The anthracite strike may have some
thing to do with the increased demand
for coal at present, but it is known that
much coal is now being mined for fu-
ture emergency.

Harrisburg, Pa, Sept. 1.-Among
the rumors il the air is that am extra

possibilities for the purpose of enact
ing a law to compel arbitration be-
tween employer and employed. There
IS nothing definite concerning it, and
Governor Stone, who alone has the
power to call the extra session, will
not say anything about it, but it is
pretty certain that if Influential citi-

ernOr-and some have already done
Sc-to call an extra session and the
governor is assured that a majority Of
the legislators will enact a compul

cali.
The governor himself drew up a
bill at the last session fashioned after
tie one in force in New Zealand
which has been in force for seven
years, and under which there have
been no strikes and every dispute has
been settled amicably. 1t provided
Tor three arbitrators from the men
md three from the employer, the
court to select a man as the seventh
arbitrator. Their finding was to be
final, and if the employer refused to
accept it then the court enjoined him
from running his mine or works. and
the place was to be closed. If the
men refused to accept the finding
then the sheriff was empowered to
protect the employer to the extent of
calling out the military The same
conditions governed the refusal Of

GOVERNOR TAFT BANQUETED.
American Chamber of Commerce ct
Manila Honors Him-Speaks on
Prospects of Philippines.

Manila, Sept 1.-Governor Taft
was given banquet by the American
chamber of commerce of Manila last
Saturday night. In an address reply
ing to toast, the governor discussed
The future of the Philippines. He said
he United States would retain the
islands indefinitely with the view OF
educating the Filipinos to a state of
self-government and other conditions
which would enable them to decide
whether they desired to become indie
pendent or be made into a state like
Canada or Australia under Great
Britain. Governor Taft said he be
.ieved the relationship between the
two peoples would be continued and
hat the Americans were here for
he benefit of the F1lipinos. He said
the Americans did not desire the
islands for selfish purposes, and prom
jsed that American capital would get
fair treatment here.
Continuing, the governor expressed
his belief that commercial interests
must ultimately rely upon Filipino
labor, although a temporary relaxa
ton of the immigration restrictions
was possible. He said the United
States civil commission would again
recommend congress to give the Phil
ippine islands a gold standard of cur
rency, as the present fluctuating sii
yer standard was a disadvantage te
everybody.
Luke E. Wright, who acted as civil
governor Of the islands during the re-
cent absence of Governor Taft. also
spoke at the chamber Of commerce
dinner. He expressed the opinion
that the true future of the islands de.
pended upon the admission of their
products to American markets. Com
missioner Wright regretted that the
Philippine question had been made
football in American politics.

CONVENTION Fleets ON TUESDAY
mayor Tom Johnsons Platform Likely
to Be Ad3pted-McLean Men VIII
Make 10 Contest Except For Con-
trol Of the State Central Committee

Sandusky, O., Sept. 1.-THE Demo
cratic state convention will be held
here this week to nominate candidates
for secretary of state, supreme judge
dairy and food commissioner and
member Of the state board Of public
works. There are fewer candidates
IL the field than usual. Senator Will
liam Decker, of Paulding, was among
the first mentioned for the head Of the
ticket, but ne does not seem TO be in
the field now. John E. Stang. Of this
city, and a member Of the state cen
trail committee in which capacity he
secured the location of the convention
here, has been urged by his friends
r be a candidate, but he has made
nc aggressive effort himself. The
Butler county delegation will present
the name of Charles &. Mason for
secretary of state, and in the event CT
his failure, that delegation will pre-
sent the name of Joseph j. Pater for
member of the state board of public
works.
The most prominent man mentioned
in connection with the nomination for
secretary of state is Rev. Herbert S.
Bigelow, pastor of the Vine Street
Congregational church, at Cincinnati.

T. L. Johnson, Of Cleveland, who will

be the most conspicuous and infiuen.
tial figure in it.
There is a lack Of candidates for
places on the state ticket, and no
slate is likely to be made until after
the arrival of Mayor Johnson with the
Cleveland delegation on Tuesday
morning. 1t is understood that Mayor
Johnson VIII bring with him the plat
form, which is likely to be adopted
without opposition.
While there are some delegates not
IN accord with Mayor Johnson, they
ere not disposed to oppose him, but
rather to let him have his way in
everything this year, as they said
to see what he can do on the lines
Of his new departure"
The drift of opinion is that the Nc
Lean men will make no contest for
anything except for control Of the
state central committee, just as they
