ALABAMA MINERS
TO co ON STRIKE
-
OPERATORS OF TENNESSEE COM.
PANY HAVE BEEN ORDERED
TO GO OUT.
OVER A THRILLING MATTER
Action Taken by the United Mine
Workers Because Company Refused
to Take 81 Out of
Wages of Men.

Birmingham, Ala, October 2-The
refusal OF several miners to allow ST
taken from their wages for the bene
fit of the striking anthracite coal min
ers in Pennsylvania and the compli
anee of the paymaster of the Tennes
see Coal, Iron and Railroad Company
with their wishes has caused a sus
pension Of work by 1900 miners EN-
ployed by that company
At a meeting of the executive com
mittee OF the United Mine Workers
T6r the district of Alabama, held acre
today, a resolution was unanimously
passed calling out all the miners OF
the Tennessee company until the con
troyersy over the deduction of the
$l from the miners wages had been
settled. The resolution does not spec
ity the date for the suspension OF
work, but it is learned that the Pratt
City division will quit work tomorrow
The trouble arose several weeks
ago when one of tne negro miners at
Pratt mines called at the ONCE OF tne
paymaster and refused to allow any
amount taken from his wages for the
benefit Of the strikers in the anthra
cite region of Pennsylvania, as or.
dered by the national convention held
in Indianapolis. The Tennessee com
pany officials decided that they had
no legal right to deduct any amount
from an employees wages without mis-
written consent. The officers OF the
nnion took exception TO this ruling
and a meeting OF the executive com
mlttee was called to meet in Birmlng-
ham today. After a lengthy discus
sion the resolution ordering suspen-
sion OF work was adopted Nearly all
OF the coal operators in the district
with the exception Of the Tennessee
Coal Iron and Railroad Company
have agreed to deduct the amount from
miners wages specified by the union.
Omcials of the Tennessee company
refuse to make any statements.

TRACING ATTENTION OF
TtiH ADMINISTRATION.
SEVERAL MEETINGS HELD
Stated That Roosevelt is Now Try

Bring the Strike to
an End.

Washington. October 2.-rhe prest
dent seems to be considerably worried
aDout the coal strike situation. He
has been in conversation for the past
few days on this important matte
with number of the members of mis-
cabinet, ana the result is that he mas
called Tor conferences. Two confer.
ences were held yesterday afternoon
on this subject, as it is readily seen
that the effects OF the long strike are
serious.
The conferences were held for the
purpose of devising some means to
help settle the dispute between the
operators and the miners.
The first conference took place Just
before luncheon and lasted half an
hour. During that time the visitors
were received in the front room on the
first floor in the temporary white
house. The consultation commenced
at o'clock and lasted a little over
an hour. At eacn conference Attor
ney General Knox, postmaster Genera
Payne and Governor Crane Of Massa
chusetts were present.
TAc attorney general can nnd nc
grounds for attacking the coal trusts
in court. The president is inclined
to ask the operators and miners rep
resentatiyes to come to Washington
and talk the situation over with a
view of settling the matter
This action will be decided upon to-

mally opened for the season of 1902

secure cargo OF Coal.
Philadelphia, October 2.--The big
7masted schooner Thomas W. Law
son is still lying at the Greenwich
piers, Philadelphia, awaiting cargo
of coal. Thus far not carload has
been dumped into her nold, and her
owners are growing impatient over the
long wait. The shippers blame the
railroads for the delay and promise
quick dispatch when the congested
condition of the trade is relieved
The Lawson is under charter to load
1000 tons of soft coal for the railroads
at Boston, and the latter are in as
much or a hurry for the coal as the
master of the vessel is to relieve it.
The freight is understood to be
about As cents per ton. The original
charterers, Baltimore coal firm, clos
ed her at rs cents per ton, but, being
unable to load the schooner, by rea-
son of the strike, subet her to Phila-
delphia coal shippers at As cents The
difference will nave to be paid to the
owners of the craft by tne original
charterers.

While it is not the policy of the Ledg-
er to take an active part in politics, at
the same time under the present circum-
stances, viz, the possibility of Lincoln,
Elbert, Cheyenne and Kit Carson coun-
ties (which heretofore have had two rep
resentatives) being unrepresented in the
next legislature, unless our fellow-towns-
man, Hiram A. Lowell, is elected, we be-
lieve it is our duty to strenuously support
his candidacy, and in the interest of our
stockmen earnestly strive for his election.
Mr.. Lowell is thorough business man,
successful cattle grower, an old resi-
dent OF Hugo, and is an able member of
the executive committee of the Lincoln
County Cattle Growers Association. As
his opponent is Denver lawyer and ex-
poets to gain his election through the
voters of that city, it seems to us that il
is case OF the stockmen in the above
mentioned counties electing Mr.. Lowell
or being without representation. For
these reasons and others which we will
state later on, we most heartily urge ouI
numerous stoclSman friends to vote fol
Mr.. Lowell regardless of partisanship.-

Mention Of Matters Of Special Interest
to Residents Of Various Sections
Of Ebert County.
EoNpIs.


A fine new brick schoolhouse was be-
gun in district No. 3s on Monday last.
Mrs. E. II. Harper left the latte- part
Of last week for visit with relatives and
friends at Clyde, Kansas.
We are very glad to see the sweet ia
miliar faces Of Mrs. Walter jay and little
daughter Hope among us again.
W. S. Burns came up from Pueblo on
Saturday and remained over Sunday
with his family. He returned on Tues
day.
Mrs. II. Cochran, who has been visit
ing son at Rifle, Colo, for some time,
returned on Saturday and is now at
home again with her daughter, Mrs. f.
b. Hall
Mrs. Nellie Dirlam and son Charlie
will leave about the middle Of the month
for an extended visit with Mrs. Dirlam' S
father who lives at Fort Scott, Kansas,
and who has been in very poor health
for some time.
We have heard some rumors OF a now
brick schoolhouse at Fondis and would
like to hear more than simply rumor.
Fondis is the proper place for a school
house. Let us get down to business and
see what we can do about it.
There will be preaching services at the
hall next Sunday morning at IL o'clock
by the Rev. Smith, the regular pastor ut
this place. Sunday school at 10 o'clock,
and n meeting on Saturday evening for
bible study, led by Rev. Smith.
The literary society will meet in the
hall on Friday evening, and in the future
will meet every Friday evening instead
OF every two weeks as heretofore. A fine
program is being prepared for this week
by Miss Tamlin and others. Come and
hear it.
For some reason unknown TO us the
officers OF the church changed the loca-
ton for the new church, at a meeting
Dockum's store to the lot offered by MIR.
Taylor. The new church will, therefore,
be north Of Harper's store, fronting west,
instead Of north OF the postofiice and
fronting east, as stated last week.
Politics seems rather dull in this local
ity. One hears very little Of the Buck.
lin bill or in fact anything else connected
with politics. We hope that when Elberi
county gets its anti -Bucklin league es.
tablished some good speaker will be sent
to Fondis to tell us more about this
Bucklin bill. We have u good hall in
which to hold public gatherings and a
lot of people just waiting to be stirred
up a little.

The high school Question Discussed.

A petition will be presented to the
board OF county commissioners this week
asking that honorable body to submit to
the voters of the county at next months
election the question whether or not they
want county high school. This is n
question all should be Interested in, and
the cost to the taxpayers will be small
in comparison with the benefits derived
from such an institution. The law says
that special tax not exceeding two
mills may be levied for the purpose OF
establishing and maintaining county
high school. A tax OF one mill would
provide ample funds for this purpose
one dollar tax on an assessment of one
thousand dollars! No taxpayer who has
the educational interests OF the county
at heart can afford to vote against this
proposition, provided that the question
is submitted to the people for their ap-
proval or rejection.
The law says that the commissioners
shall submit the question to the people
upon presentation to said commissioners
of petition signed by fifty resident tax
payers OF the county. This petition has
been presented, properly signed by rep
resentative citizens Of Kiowa, Elizabeth
and Elbert.
