NO CHANCE FOR ARBITRATION.

Senator Mark Hanna, of Ohio. who
said in a recent speech that he had par
ticipated in a strike in his youth that
had resulted in blooished and loss OF
property, claimed also that he had been
thinking of the subject ever since. His
most satisfactory method all around OF
settling these disputes. In every in
stance bur one in the ten months life of
the civic fe deration, I'VE have settled
every labor difficulty that has come to
u.s." said he. That one is the anthracite
strike and the federation was unable
to touch it because the mine owners
and operators refuse to arbitrate. These
GENERATORS know they have a monopoly
they can CONTROL and hence they feel
secure. For this reason also more SYM
pathy has been, expressed on the side OF
the miners Is it the correction OF GER
tain abuses these mine owners Tear !!
Their attitude would seem to give col
or to the theory. II would seem reas-
enable to arbitrate, even tho they held
strenuously to their present terms. Is
it the fear of giving their scale greater
publicity that prevents them from do
ing it?
Their present attitude would seem to
be without warrant, just as the move
ment of the miners to use force to pre-
vent the opening of the mines is not
allowable. Both sides have gotten
themselves into positions from which
they should recede in order to come to-
gether upon friendly grounds. The
public is vitality interested in the re-
sumption of mining operations a. the
earliest day possible.
The threat to cut off the ears of min
,ers who resume work is one of the hor-
rible penalties tolerated. 1t tends to
show the desperate straits of the strik-
ers and the fear that the many who are
breaking away from them Will become
an avalanche.

SENATOR spooNER.s POSITION.

Senator Spooner of Wisconsin, who
| tnat he could be a candidate for re-eiec-
tlon if he would espouse certain stat,
issues has been maintaining Il discreet
silence since that time: and the country
will hope this discreet silence will
eventuate in the return to that body OF
the man who has honored ii so much
with his ability and practical states
manship. He has not vet subscribed to
The platform, the plain intention OF
which is, of course. that unless MI
Spooner renounces outright some of the
principles that have made him power
in the senate, and embraces by formal
declaration the La Toilette ideas, he
will not be permitted to return TO the
senate. Mr.. Spooners friends in Wash
ington have all along considered it eX-
tremely doubtful that he could be
frightened by any threat of this kind,
and have believed that ne would fight
his enemies to the bitter end.
A private letter to a Washingtonian
from one of the senator's supporters at
Milwaukee contains the information
that altho he has not been heard from
directly, his friends are proceeding on
Giictation of Governor La Toilette, but
will soon take the stump and explain TO
the voters his attitude ON all state as
we'll as national questions. The letter
also says that whatever votes this ac-
ton may cost the senator it Will be
more than made up by accessions to the
ranks of his Supporters from the large
element of gold democrats in Wisconsin,
whose leader for years has been General
Il, S. Bragg. now consul general at Ha-
Nana and warm friend of Mr. Spooner.
Thus even If the senator should not
ture at Madison to secure his re-elec-
ton, neither could the La Toilette peo-
lep control that body, and the chances
would favor the choice of stalwart
republican like Mr.. Spooner rather than
the representative of the La Toilette
element. However, it is thought that
when Mr.. Spooner takes the stump he
will so arouse the republican masses
o. Wisconsin with his eloquence and the
account he will give
sition within the party will dwindle to
such small proportions as to remove all
doubt of his success. There is no more
powerful speaker in the country than
Mr.. Spooner and he has had to face
worse situations than this one in Wis
conSin
