WILKESBARRE. Pa. June 2e.-President
John Mitchell. of the United Mine Workers
of America, to-day issued an address to the
public for publication in the newspapers to-
morrow morning. 1t is partly reply TO
the letters OF the operators declining to ac-
cede to the demands OF the union, which
were published about ten days ago.
Briefly summarized. the address says that
every possible means was resOrted TO in the
effort TO prevent the strike; claims that the
cost of living has increased to the point
where the miner was compelled TO ask for
higher wages; denies the allegations of the
operators that the productive capacity of
the mine workers has fallen of, but. on the
other hand, has increased; quotes official
figures 10 substantiate the contention that
the employers can pay higher wages with
out increasing the cost of coal 10 the con-
sumner; asserts that the coal-carrying rail-
roads, which control about S5 per cent. of
the mines. absorb the profits of their coal
companies by charging exorbitant freight
rates; claims that a ton the mines means
anywhere from 2.74O to 3.1sO pounds instead
of 224O. and says that more men are killed
and injured in the anthracite mines of
Pennsylvania annually than were killed or
wounded during the Spanish-American
war.
The address also adds that. in the event
the union is crushed. which, it adds, is not
likely. a new organization would rise from
its ruins. II concludes with another ap-
peal for arbitration of all questions In dis

NO VOTE ON METERS.
Indianapolis Gas Company Already
Has Its Mind Made I'D.

The indianapolis Gas Company, accord
ing to John r. Pearson. assistant to Presi-
dent Hastings, will not attempt a vote of
its customers on the meter question as pro-
posed by Councilman Mcfarland 1--WE do
not wish TO enter into any plans of that
kind" said he. THE company has made
UP its mind what II will do and it will not
alter its purpose.
1t is likely that the officers of the COM
pany will soon announce the date definitely
when the company will carry out its threat
to quit the natural-gas business Ii Is he
lieved this date will be about Sent. ] and
that such an announcement may be made
shortly. This would bring the gas oues-
tion TO the most critical state il has ever
been. The announced policy Of the city
administration has been TO prevent such a
course by an injunction suit Involving the
legal right of the company TO quit bust
ness. The complaint for this suit has been
prepared by the city attorney. and will ask
the Injunction on the theory that in ac-
cepting the franchise OF 1851 the Indian
apolis company obligated itself 10 give gas
to its patrons as long as IL had anv. The
company asserts that IL cannot be reouired
TO continue business at a loss.
