Many Will Refuse to Strike.
(By the Associated Press }

Fairmont, w Va. June 6.-The order
for a general strike of the coal miners
in the two Virginias, known as District
II, takes effect tomorrow. The uneasi-
ness manifested in business circles dur
ing the past week has, in great meas
ure, disappeared, for there is no evidence
that the strike order will be generally
obeyed. The Associated Press CORE
spondent has comDleter a visit to all tn
coal regions of West Virginia and finds
the situation very much the same every
where throughout the State. Unless all
indications are misleading, the strike
order will be needed by a very small per
cent of the 1000 miners IN West Vir-
ginia.
The order emanated from headquarters
of the National United Mine Workers
Convention, through a convention held
in Huntington, w. Va, a few weeks
ago. The convention was composed of
twenty five delegates, the majority of
whom were State and National organi-
zers and officers. The question is one
of recognition of the National Union.
There is no question of wages. The
union sentiment has never been strong
and strike movement have never been
popular in this State.
Indication here this evening are that
/ there viii be small following Of strik-
ers in each field tomorrow but none of
the aNtional United Mine Workers off
cials are here as yet. Secretary Treas
urer w. B. Wilson is expected Thomas
Haggerty in charge of the movement ia
northwestern West Virginia said tonight.
Unless we get half of the men out to-
morrow in West Virginia we will not
claim victory. Falling in half the op-
orators will gain and we will lose strength
thereafter. The mines are hard to roach
and the miners hard to convince
The suPerintendents are reported as
saying that the colleries will be run
ming tomorrow without slight los of men.

Richardson Points Out Violation of Proprieties
in His Memorial Day Speech.
(By the Associated Press. J

Washington, June General debate
upon the Anti-Anarchy Bill closed today.
The incident of the day was a speech by
Mr.. Richardson, an Alabama Democrat,
condemning the President in severe
terms for the references in his Memorial
Day Grafton at Arlington to the epithets
applied to Lincoln and Grant during the
Civil War and to his allusions to lynch
ings. He declared that the President S
remarks violated the proprieties of the
occasion Mr. Littlefield made a legal
argument of an hour and half in closing
the debate upon the anarchy bill. The
section of the Senate bill providing a
body guard for the President was stricken
from the Senate bill as a precaution in
case the House substitute failed An
effort was made to strike from the first
section of the substitute the words limit
ing the crime of killing the President to
the President in his official capacity, but
the motion was lost, 63 to 80. Only one
section had been disposed of when the
House adjourned.
Mr.. Richardson (Alabama) during the
course of his remarks, recalled the visit
of the late President Mckinley to Hunts
vile, Ala, year ago, the reception
given him then by the Confederates and
Union Veterans. The noble sentiments
Mr.. Mckinley uttered upon that occasion,
Mr.. Richardson said, endeared him to the
South. and he told of the great sorrow
felt there when Mr.. Mckinley fell at
Buffalo. Reluctant as he was to do so.
Mr. Richardson said, he felt it his pain
full duty to contrast Mr.. McKinleys SEN
timents at Huntsville with Mr.. Roose-
velt's speech. in which he referred to
the epithets applied to Grant and Lin
coin and the resolution passed by the
Confederate Congress denouncng the
methods of warfare employed by the
Union army. Mr. Richardson said he
had not so far forgot his environs as to
characterize as it deserved the language
which came from the President of the
United States upon solemn Memorial
Day occasion, when honor was being done
to the thousands OF brave dead who died
in defense of their flag. But he would
dare to say that it would have been far
more appropriate if the President had
referred upon that occasion to the mag
unanimous terms which Grant accorded
Lee at Appomattox, which had done sc
much to reconcile the divided sections
81 doubt whether there is, said he, "a
brave Federal soldier within the sound oi
my voice, who would have uttered the
sentiments expressed by the President
even in the heat of debate. much less
upon memorial day. l say the proprie-
ties of the occasion were violated when
the President referred to what had been
said about Lincoln in the heat of blood
when men were aiming at each others
lives
Mr.. Richardson also condemned the
Presidents reference to lynchings in
the South.
Mr. Bartlett (Georgia) argued that the
provisions of the Senate bill were uncon-
stitutional

Charlotte, N. c., June 6-One of the
most interesting cases that will be heard

Co. subscribed $4,000 to the capital
stock OF the Loray mills at Gastonia and
that the Avon and the Gastonia mills paid
this amount for the VicEsburg firm. This
contention is denied by the Fl. Wells Co.,

In the Anthracite Fields.
lBy the Associated Press }


Wilkesbarre, Pa, June 6.-Last night s
shooting had SOLDERING effect upon the
idle men and boys in this valley, and as
result, the Wyoming region was a
place of almost absolute peace today
There were no parades, marches or any
considerable gathering Of persons and
the police authorities of the county had
little more to do than keep watch.
The Stanton colliery, where the shoot
ing occurred, was visited today by hun
dreds of persons who expected to see
more trouble. but no crowds were per-
mitted to congregate in the neighbor-
hood. The colliery is closed down
as tight as a drum as a re-
suit Of the disturbance there.
Even the coal and iron police with the
exception of four or flee, gave up their
jobs and left town as quickly as they
could get out. There were about twenty
in the party including several colored
cooks. Last nights demonstration was
too much for them and they decided to
leave
The preliminary hearing of the four
coal and iron police who are charged
with the shooting of Charles McCann the
13-year- old boy, was not held today, but
they probably will be arraigned tomor-
row morning, The condition of the boy
is still serious, but it is believed he
will recover.
President Mitchell said today that the
strike of the engineers, firemen and pump
men is practically complete. The min
ing superintendents say that as far as
they are concerned there was no change
in the general situation during the past
twenty-fCur hours. Water is still accu-
mulating in the lower levels of some of
the mines, but the coal company officials
seem to be Indifferent regarding the flood
ing of the workings.

Washington, June 6.-After confer
ence with the members of his Cabinet
today, President Roosevelt decided that
there is no legal ground for iEterfer-
ence by him in the settlement of the dis
pute between the coal operators ana
striking miners. The resolutions of the
New York Board of Trade and lranspor-
tation requesting the President to al'-
point a commissioner to visit the aathra-
cite regions and investigate the situation
were discussed at great length, but as
the law of 1892, which conferred author
ity upon the President to appoint such
commissioner has been repealed the
President has no desire to assume the
responsibility which the New York
Boad of Trade suggested.
