MORE STRIKE ISLIKELY
FRANK p. SARGENT ON THE
COAL SITUATION.
Both Sides Confident - Soft Coal
Miners to Be Called
Out.

ST. LOUIS, May 2S.-Frank P. Sargent,
head Of the Brotherhood Of Locomotive
Firemen, member Of the national labor ar
bitration committee of which Senator Han
ma Is chairman, and who has been appoint
ed commissioner of immigration, stated to-
day, the Post Dispatch says, that a gem
eral sympathy strike Of all the soft coal
miners in the United States would proba-
bly, be ordered. He declared that the min
ers of the Pennsylvania coal region had
refused absolutely to treat with the regu-
larry constituted arbitration board, and a
sympathy strike of the soft coal men was
the only recourse.
1.-The anthracite miners" continued Mr..
Sargent, asked very little and we're willing
to make concessions, but the attitude of the
operators from the start was such that
did not hesitate to suggest the strike to
John Mitchell. president of the United Mine
Workers of America. / do not see at this
time any hope of compromise.
Both Sides Confident.
"The coal barons believe they are mas
tiers of the situation, while the working
men are equally confident of their strength
and their chances of success.
There are 10000 men idle as a result
of the strike
There are between 425,OOO and $50, 900
SOFT coal miners throughout the country,
and not one union, in my judgment, would
hesitate a moment to respond favorably to
call for a general strike. That there will
positively be such a strike l cannot say
officially. My opinion is based solely on a
conference held with President Mitchell"
Mr.. Sargent arrived in st. Louis today,
and will confer with several Of the local
labor leaders.
Preparing for Real Struggle.
HAZLETON, Pa, May 2S.-In anticipa-
tion of an effective strike of the only class
of men remaining at work the coal COM
panies In this district are daily drilling
their trusted hands, who have been select
ed to take the places of the strikers. Coke
Bros. & Co. have polled their engineers,
firemen and pump runners the strike
ed. In anticipation of a strike fences are
being erected about the HARDWOOD coliery
Of Pardee & Co. and the Jedio, EberVale,

Iron and Steel Company's iron workers,
who went on strike four weeks ago be-
cause Of the company's refusal to grant
them an increase on the basis Of $3.50 a
ton for puddlers, will return to work on
June a. An agreement has been reached
which is to the effect that the company
will sign the new wage scale in the event
of the Reading Iron Company granting it's

The Worlds Verdict.
By FLAvEL SCOTT MINES.

By FLAvEL SCOTT MINES.
The drops OF water siung across the eamels
Had leaked. and all the day upon the desert
sands
The water. drop by drop. had fallen. till at last
The skins were we'll nigh drained, and that which
still remained
When gathered in the cup of gold made fewer
drops
Than there were jewels bordering the gohlet's
bowl.
The brother pilgrims. who together sought the
shrine
OF holy Ais martyred sons at Maggrib, saw
The ruin which the day had brought unto their
lives.
And each one looked tine other steadfast in the
eye.
Each saw the shadow of the wings of Azraei.
Yet for moment neither spoke. save in ioE
prayer.
And then the elder whispered. Brother. drink,
and peace and life be thine
The other answered: God is God
1t is the Prophets wiIl-drink thou"
Thus argued they
Until FL Maria, and they laid them down TO rest;
The cup between and each held out his hand TO
push
The goblet with IFS precious drops of life away.
1t was Ell Ghadda when they walked. The burn
ing sun
Had been on high four hours. and within that
time
Had dried the water up. When this the brothers
saw.
They bowed in prayer. and rising. loosed their
beasts
And bade them wander where they woald.
Then. sick AMI faint.
They laid them down again, and in their dreams
of thirst
The cup o'erfiowed with crystal water which
each gave
Unto his brother
When again the red sun set
They passed into the Garden of the Faithful
Ones.
Next day a caravan passed by that spot and saw
The brothers lying with their hands stretched
ont as tho
To grasp the golden cup, each stIi in deaths
embrace
And one long bearded shefl.. whose hair was
white with age.
Picked up the cup, noted the studding gems, and
sighed,
Questioning the greed by which man was made
TO give
Up life. and all life held. fer one small BIT Of
gold.
And then the caravan passed on again.

Island is also famous as the place
where Chief Joseph and the Nez
Perces crossed the Missouri in their
flight from Oregon, through Idaho

After leaving Cow Island the boat

miles to the north near the Bear Paw
mountains. As the boat would lie here

tionedl determined to walk over to the
mountains which appeared to us to be
about four or five miles away. We had
hardly got started when soldier asked
us where We were going, and upon be-
ing Informed he told rs that we would
have to walk about forty miles. We
concluded to postpone the trip.
The next day we arrived at Fort
Benton tired out with our long trip
but happy in expectations of the fu-

sisted of but ten cents and unbounded
faith in our capabiIity to wrest fortune
