 CHEEK OF MORGAN
VIENNA PAPER IN SPHERICAL ARTICLE SAYS THE GREAT FL NANcIER FORGED HIMSELF ON EMPEROR WILLIAM.

Vienna, July 6.-The Neu Freie Presse has published satirical editorial on the fact that J. Pierpont Morgan took lun- cEeon with Emperor William on board the imperial yacht Hohenzollern at Kiel July 8 The paper remarks:
 Without his check book MT. Morgan would never have been the emperor s guest"
 The article narps throughout on the probabilities of misfortune overtaking The Napoleon of Finance" and says that, gilded by the imagination, his trusts appear to be excellent, but that the first moment public confidence is disturbed the system will undergo a severe trial.
 The Neu Freie Presse concludes by saying:
 Could thoughtful reader have pene- trated the secret recesses of the minds of Emperor William and his guest what startling contrasts might he not have discovered In Emperor Williams mind, perhaps, a yearning for fame and splen- dor; in that of MT. Morgan the hope of new trusts and rising prices. How fortun- ate it is that social politeness wells such opposition"

END OF STRIKE IS FAR AWAY
Miners Say If Companies Do Not Grant Concessions They Will he Out on Sept. 1-can't
 Operate Without Them

Wilkesbarre, Pa, July 6.-President Mitchell of the miners union left here at noon today for New York. He slipped out of town unexpectedly and so quietly that only two or three persons around strike headquarters knew of his departure As he did not announce he was going to New York there is an element of mystery about his journey. but the Associated Press learned on trustworthy authority that he went to the metropolis for the purpose of getting leaders of other labor organizations together. The purpose of the meeting Is not definitely know here. but 1t is understood to have a direct bear ing on the question of labor organiza< tions affiliated with the American Fed eration of Labor assisting the miners un- ion financially. It is known that some of these organizations through their na- tional officers have expressed their will ingness to help the mine workers in this way.
 May Get Other Assistance.
 Mir. Mitchell while in New York may meet the officials of railroad unions or other organizations than can assist his people by other than financial means.
 
 will return here tomorrow Tomorrow will begin the third month of the great strike
 There have been many rumors and opinions published that certain coal com panies would within few days attempt to start up one of more collieries. The officials of the big companies who are willing to talk, deny all knowledge of any attempt to start work They say. however, that the number of men apply ing for work is growing larger each week.
 The number of miners among the ap- plicants who are applying for work is very small and so long as the miners themselves refrain from going to the col lieries, no coal can be mined. Of the 147. .o0o men and boys employed about the mines approximately seoOo are miners.
 Must Have Certificates.
 Under the laws of the state no com pany can employ man to cut coal unless he has miners certificate showing that he has had two years experience in the anthracite mines. These certificates are awarded by examining boards composed of miners appointed by the county courts. Therefore if 100000 men and boys were willing to return they could not law fully operate collieries unless the strik- ing miners also went to work
 The correspondent of the Associated Press today sought the opinion of strilx- CTS officials as to how long they ex- pected the price of coal will go up or down the coming fall.
 The company officials who were seen were of the opinion that the price of coal during the remainder of this year will not go below present figures. and may go higher.
