Secretary Wilson admitted Saturday
that the miners Contemplate this
course, and that acomplete transcript
of the case, including the complaints
and Judge Jackson's. decision, will be
prepared for submission, to President
Roosevelt and the senate. The miners
also intend to give to the public the
evidence in the case. a
Wilson says that if the impeachment
proceedings are begun, there will be
no politics in them. The miners will

fere with the injunction, as he says
they realize the president is without
power as to injunctions, but if the
habeas corpus proceedings fail to re-
lease the organizers, the president will
be asked to pardon them. The habeas
corpus proceedings will be begun as
soon as the papers can be made out.
President Looks for No Appeal.
Oyster Bay, N. Y, July 2s.-Com-
paratively few matters of Importance
were brought to the attention of the.
president at Sycamore Hill early
Saturday.
1t has been stated that President
Mitchell, of the United Mine Work.
ers, would present to Mr.. Roosevelt
protest against the decision of Judge
jackson in the West Virginia injunc-
ton cases, but no such papers have
reached Sycamore Hill. It is the un--
derstanding that no protest will be
made to the president. 1t is not a
matter in which he can participate
at this time. It is believed that the
miners will look to the courts for
such vindication of their rights as.
they may think themselves en-
titled to.
Mitchell Spends Busy Day.
Wilkesbarre, Pa, July 2s.-Presi-
dent Mitchell was kept busy receiving
committees at strike headquarters
Saturday. A committee from the sta

vention made no provision for the fire.
men, but it is understood that they
will receive the same relief as the
miners. Plans mapped out by some of
the local assemblies of the United
Mine Workers called forth protests.
\ A committee from Nanticoke ex-
planned to Mr.. Mitchell that the strik-
ers with large families should receive
the first consideration and that the,
relief given them should be greater
than that given to men with small
| families.
Another Contribution.
New York, July 2s.-A committee
| appointed by the Central Feder-
ated union to devise ways and means
of aiding the striking anthracite min
ers has decided to levy a per capita
per week, to contiue while the strike
lasts. N'fl |!..~ Il

the largest wholesale dealers in this
city. The statement was made after
reports were received showing that
the local market is absolutely barren

coal famine comes from Plainfeld,
N. j., in dispatch which says that
there is less than 100000 tons of an
