Candid Comment
Hbout The Strike
From the ltlmira Advertiser.

From the l;mira Advertiser.
IN SUBSTANCE. briefly. the real issue
| is this, for convenience of statement
| put in the form of IA resolu-
lion:
"Resoved. That the mines and mining
property interests of the anthracite coal
regions shall pass from the control of
the present operators to that of the
United Mine Workers Of America in the
same manner and to the same extent as
similar mines and properties in the btu
minous regions have done"
The affirmative of the question is taken
by the miners, through Mr. Mitchell.
president of the United Mine Workers.
The negative Is sustained by the mine
| owners and operators. 1t is the question
ON which the strike OF 1900 was UNDER
taken. 1t WIS not then decided A work.
ing arrangement was patched up. which
continued in force till the present month.
1t is asserted positively that all the con-
fercnces prior to the calling out Of the
men two weeks ago We're mere sparring
for position" Operators and miners
knew that the main question could not be
adjusted by compromise, and neither
would surrender without Il trial OF
strength.
Such being the issue. the daily gossip
of changes in the jSituati ion here and there
has no substantial worth. The opera tors
say that under no circumstances Will
they yield. The leaders of the miners are
as positive in their declaration that it is
fight to Il finish. For them 1t Is the life
or dissolution of their organization in the
anthracite region. as while they gained
am advantage through the working ar
rangement of 1900 it is true the mine
owners have not recognized officially the
United Mine Workers federation They
say they will not. They will settle the
strike, when II settlement is reached, by
dealing directly and solely with the men
whom they employ.
From their point of view the tcrmina-
tiun of the coal strike is far off. Thus
far the violence that usually attends
great labor strikes has been conspicuous
for its absence. The peace of acnuies-
cence in things as they are exists But
the operators may conclude to resume
coal traffic presently with labor that Is
willing to work on their terms. What
will happen then will be seen. 1t Is to
be hoped that violence and bloodshed will
not he experienced. but the hope has
nothing to rest ON in past experience cX-
cept the uselessness of law-breaking. The
opera tors. having the legal right to EN-
ploy men who Will work, will have the
the men If assniled. Victory. which will
he the vindication of the right of en-
poyors to conduct their own business. ul-
timately will be theirs. That Is the lOsi-
cal conclusion. IL 1t could be accepted
without another appeal to extreme meas
ures the country would rejoice.

SCRANTON, MAY 2S. 1902.
For governor of Pennsylvania. on the
issue of an open field and fair play.
JOHN p. ELKIN, of Indiana,
subject to the will of the Republican
SnaSseS
Something to Remember. /.

T CERTAINLY was a happy in
spiration which suggested to the
Il visiting knights Templar the
idea of massing the bands and
the various communicates, at the con-
clusion Of yesterdays parade, in one
solid phalanx of sound. color and mo-
ton. Nothing like it has been seen at
Templar conclaves before, and it may
be long until spectacle equally i'm
pressive and inspiring shall be wit
messed again.
When we reflect that that compact
company represented not only the old
est fraternity of it's kind in existence
but also included within it's member
ship some of the foremost citizens of
our commonwealth. literal leaders of
it's commercial, professional and indus
trial life, the significance of it in
creases. To bind such men during
many centuries together in such a COM
munity of interest and fellowship of
spirit is no small result. That it has
man affairs is amply proved in history:
and that it is largely influencing it to-
day is equally we'll known to those
who are in touch with Masonic activi-
ties.
Some sensing of this fact was pres
"ent in the consciousness of every be-
holder of yesterdays pageantry and
will linger long in memory. 1t was an
eloquent tribute to the potency Of or
sanitation; and a demonstration that
there is more in human nature than
can be explained on the hypothesis OF
total depravity. A physiognomist,
studying the faces in that parade, could
not fail to conclude that there must
be something in the order to appeal
with convincing force to high aver
age of character and intelligence
something much more substantial than
the mere vanity of dress paradng and
the social instinct. The words "On-
ward, christian Soldiers!" took on new
meaning and a respect for the order
was implanted more deeply and dur
ably than before.

raised by him is that even OH Il 20 per

sition to John Mitchell and the district
officials. These men decided that the
guardians OF the safety of the mines
should abandon their positions on June
unless their employers should on or
before that time grant certain de-
mands.
| 1t is now known to everybody in the
anthracite fields that the employers
will not grant those demands 1t is
also plain that they will not permit
their properties to be damaged or de-
stroyed by the abandonment of the en-
gines and pumps If the men whom
they now hire to run this machinery
shall leave their places. as ordered by
President Mitchell and his cabinet, 9TH
er men will be substituted. The opera
tors have perfect legal and moral
right to fill with new men places which
old employees vacate. Their duty is to
do this in this instance for the protec-
publc's permanent interest in the
mines. They would be justly censur-
able if they should neglect so impera-
tive II duty.
Should the necessity for substituting
non-union men arise, John Mitchell and
the presidents and secretaries of the

In the power of the national president
