ONE STRIKE ENDS.
West Virginia Miners will Return
to Work,

Huntington, W. Va, Sept. 1.-The
coal strike in West Virginia, is prac
tically at an end. At Il mass meeting
of miners from all the coal fields along
the Norfolk & Western railroad here,
it was almost unanimously agreed to
end the strike provided the operators
would take back all the old miners, and
they have signified their intention of
doing this. The miners have agreed to
return to work next Monday.
1t is reported that President Mitchell,
of the United Mine Workers, advised
the strikers to return to work. He
realized that winter was near at hand,
and that the miners in this field could
not hold out much longer, az almost
everyone was dependent upon the union
for food and clothing. 1t is thought
the strikers at New River and kanawha
fields will soon follow this action.
Pocahontas mine continues to burn,
but the operators think that they will
soon have It under control.

THE ENEMY OF RAILROADS.

The greatest enemies OF new rail-
roads are railroads themselves. If in
the future new railroads are not built
in Virginia the cause cannot be traced
to the Corporations Commission if we
have one, but to the existing lines,
which Systematically throttle every
infant road which undertakes to en-
ter the State. No sooner does capital
undertake railroad development than
the strong existing lines thwart every
movement in their power, and if pos
sible kill it unborn. 1t is silly. in the
face of existing facts for railroads to
talk to the people of Virginia about
the convention destroying or injuring
further building of railroads. and
whine and whimper about '.hoslile
legislation" when they themselves
are the bitterest and most implacable
enemies of internal Improvement.
