& Western Railway company, after max
ing a tour of observation through the
strike region, said: There will be no
change in the attitude of the operators,
no matter how long the strike lasts"
President Mitchell Of the U. M. w. "A,
about the same time declared that the
miners were never more determind to
continue the strike Indefinitely. And there
you are.
However, it has been given out that j.
Pierpont Morgan WILL when he arrives
from Europe, put a. stop to the strike. AS
he is the motive force, the boss of the
coal-carrying roads OF, the anthracite e re-
gion, and the inspiration of the operators
who control them. it may be that the
movement Of rolling stock into the an
thracite region, recently reported, may
have the significance of purpose to ef-
feet a compromise. A large number of
canal boats have also been purchased for
use on the schuykill canal and sent to the
head Of navigation to be ready for busi-
ness after the strike.
1t is very certain that, If the strike is
not settled pretty soon, the anthracite
coal market will be- buried by its own
bosses indiscretion. Anthracite has
reached a price which beats the record
and fuel consumers are turning to BIZ
luminous coal and petroleum for relief.
The yield of soft coal has increased 500
per cent in the last twenty years, while,
during the same period, anthracite pro-
ducton has increased 66 per cent. At
the same time, in the eastern states, BIZ
luminous coal has been encroaching upon
anthracite for steam making purposes
and is at present rapidly displacing it
on account of the limited supply and
enormously higher price, The anthracite
operators may find it necessary, for the
preservation of their business. to consent
to conference. Mr.. Morgan would JUS
tify the extravagant notions as to his
business acuteness If he would proceed to
break the VOW Of the operat ors, which Is
altogether selfish, if not brutal.
| The position taken in this strike by
! both parties, indeed, is prejudicial to the
| interests Of society at large, because it
ignores the interests or the pubic Even
| selfish individualsm or selfshness in
| combination ought to be able to see that
| the existing conditions in Pennsylvania
cannot serve the material interests
| which the operators are supposed to be
i defending. AS to the miners, they are far
from blameless, but they yet have the
merit of expressing their willingness, at
the outset of the trouble in the spring, to
submit the questions at issue to confer
ence or arbitratio ion.

HINTS FOR POETS

Frederick L. Knowles contributes nearly
two pages to The Writer giving practical
Hints for Verse Writer'S but his final hint,
the twenty third is the best in the whole lot.
1t is this: Don't write poetry If you can
help it, don't think it necessary to publish it.
If you publish it, don't expect much, if any,
money in it,
Among the hints given is one exhorting the
would-be poet to "be original and not write

TRUSTS IN FREE TRADE ENGLAND
St. Louis Globe Democrat. ~

= William j. Bryan, while favoring the pla-
cling on the free list Of all articles controlled
by trusts, says he does not believe this would
kill trusts. This shows that Mr.. Bryan has
more sense than is possessed by many per-
ons on his side. England has no tariff, but
she has lots OF trusts, and she Is getting more
and more of them every year. Trusts are
independent OF such little details as duties
or no duties. The place to attack trusts Is
in the courts and not at the custom house.

kind Walt Whitman would probably indorse
the Injunction not to count syllables, but only
such poets as Whitman can, without risk
ing their regulations, afford to neglect this

cavatinas light as air, and much of, it is
more seriously musical than the peculiar

Alderman Powers expression of regret
and disapproval Of the action of Mayor
Jones in restoring the ten-hour schedule
in the police force, read in connection
with the statement of Alderman Holmes
to-day as to Mr.. Powers real sentiments
on the subject, is much to be regretted
in any officer Of the city and particularly
in one who aspires to promotion from the
council to the office of chief executive.
If Mr.. Powers believes it to be right to
restore the ten-hour day, but confesses
that he has not the courage to do so be-
cause he is a candidate, what right have
the voters to expect that he would have
any more courage to- do what he thought
was right after he was elected? This is
point on which Mr.. Powers has been
criticised as a candidate, and here Is an
illustration which will certainly give the
voters 'of this city cause for serious con-
sideration.s Evidently Mr.. Powers is too

many hard names to the British govern

discount his whole paper, which was a
