PREDICTS GREAT STRIKE
Frank P. Sargent Says Soft Coal Mer
VIII All ca Out

st. Louis, May 29.-Frank P. Sar-
gent, head of the Brotherhood of Loco
motive Firemen, member of the Ma
tional Labor Arbitration Committee, OF
which Senator Hanna is chairman, and
who has been appointed commissioner
of immigration, stated yesterday that
a general sympathy strike of all the
soft coal miners in the United States
would probably be ordered He de-
clared that the mine owners of the
Pennsylvania coal region had refused
absolutely to treat with the miners,
and sympathy strike of the soft coal
men was the only recourse.
"There are between 5000 and 450,-
900 soft coal miners throughout the
country, and not one union in my judg-
ment would hesitate moment to re-
spond favorably to call for a general
strike. That there will positively be
such a strike I cannot say officially.
My opinion is based solely on confer
ence held with President Mitchell"

We again direct the attention of the
Governor and the Attorney-General of New
Jersey to the Beef Trust and its violation
of the laws of this State and its wrongs
to the people. Newark Sunday Call.
Why disturb our Governor with any
such call as this =? Everybody understands
that the Governor cannot do anything
without endangering those pleasant rela-
tions which led to the Governors selection
and election Nor can his Attorney General
be made to see any harm in any trust with
out reversing all his mental processes, to
say nothing of his business affinities. So
far as the present Governor and Attorney
General are concerned, the trusts can take
absolute possession of New Jersey without
any fear of disturbance. The higher price
of beef will make no considerable inroad
on their private incomes Or official sal
aries, and the rest of the people must get
along as best they may.

was reached in the senate yesterday
by which final vote on the pending
Philippine government bill and all
amendments will be taken next Tues

senate will meet at IL o'clock each day
except tomorrow, when the senate will

the bill at length yesterday and urged
its enactment, maintaining that ii

a proceeding could result, he said, only
in disaster to the inhabitants and pos
