MINERS
DEMANDS
REASONABLE

NEW YORK, Oct. 1l.-It has de
veloped today that the basis for the
strike conferences Thursday and Fri
day was sworn statement by Presi
dent Mitchell in which he sets forth
the miners case.
He says that the annual earnings
for 1901, based on the number of days
the men We're permitted to work, was
S36S, an average of slightly over a
dollar per day of ten hours. OF the
anthracite coal now being marketed
over 90 per cent comes from washings
and the balance from the mines
President Mitchell says:
If the coal companies will pay an
increase Of twenty per cent to men
employed in the mines as contractors
on piece work, and will reduce the
hours of labor to eight, one hundred
and forty thousand employees will re-
return to work, An increase of twen-
ty per cent in wages would increase
the cost of anthracite coal at the
mines and to the consumer ten cents
per ton"
New York papers, supposed to rep
resent the financial interests. are in
censed at the interference of Senators
Quay, Penrose and Platt. and Govern
or Odell in the strike. The Sun
says:
How is Penrose fallen that he ap-
pears as a truculent accomplice of
rioters and lawbreakers? Has the
governor of this sovereign state lost
his senses? Can Senator Quay and
Senator Platt see no further than the
politics?"
WASHINGTON, ID. c., Oct. IL
1t is understood this morning that the
president has received confidential
advices from New York today which
indicate positively that next week will
be the last one of the strike. Sensa-
tional developments are expected and
the secret work of the senators is eX-
pected to produce a satisfactory re-
suit. The president is pleased with
the action of Governor Odell yester-
day in declaring that the operators
must make way for public need, and
there are indications already that the
coal barons are weakening. President
Mitchell is not expected in Washing
ton. The storm center is now in New
York.
The strike leaderss are looking
to the American Federation to help
them as the Federation has member
ship of nearly two millions much
might be expected from that source,
The Miners Union is the strongest
trade in the Federation.

Some railway men believe in ghosts;
some do not. The belief rests upon the
angle of view of the individual. 1t is
not true as an axiom that the more ig-
norant the man the stronger his belief
in white robed things. AS, for instance,
one of the brainiest mechanics of the
Burlington system, without processing
spiritualism, believes that those who
have gone before revisit earth and may
be seen. This ghost belief, after all is
said, really depends on personal expe-
rience.
