THE NONUNION MEN.
What Will Happen to Those Who Dis
Obeyed the Miners Unfons


New York World
What will happen to the 1900 men who
disobeyed the Mine Workers Union and
have been working in the coal mines for
several weeks is a matter which is receiv-
ing grave attention at the hands Of the
presidents of the coal roads.
The president of one of the largest of the
coal roads received letter from one Of
the mine superintendent yesterday in
which he protested against any concessions
being offered to the union, claiming that
it would make life unbearabie for the 1900
nonunion men who had stood by the COM
panies. In part the letter says:
1.-The men working for us have risked
more than any one can imagine. 1ney
and their families have been bounded in
every direction they turn, day and night.
We have promised them, in order to en-
courage and brace them up, that no conces-
sions whatever would be made to the men
on strike. This is what you told me, and
this is what / have told them.
Now, we cannot afford in any way to
break this promise. If we should then we
will have trouble continually, with no men
to fall back upon, and neither should we
have / do not know how / could face the
men who have risked so much for us IL
you make concessions.
The coal presidents are determined TO
keep the 1000 nonunion men at work and
to protect their families.

A DEMAND TO BE RESPECTED.
Arbitration Committee should Pro-
tect NonuniOn Miners.

Brooklyn Eagle:
The Eagle to-day prints an address or
memorial to public men who have sought
to bring the strike to an end beginning
with President Roosevelt. The address is
signed by the committee of the employees
of the Hillside Coal and Iron Company.
They represent directly some, and indirect
ly all of the coal miners who have remained
at their posts. They are properly de-
scribed as nonunion miners. They are con-
temptuously stigmatized 'scabs." Ac-
tually they are men who have preferred
to make their own terms for their own
work with employers. instead of having
those terms dictated to them and made for
them by outsiders.
These men stand Tor principle as
respectable and as fundamental those
which stimulated and carried to success
our revolutionary war, by which the free
work, and for which they demand protec-
ton, was won
they have to say. Their statement of facts
is impressive and tragically affecting.
Their record of suffering, of fortitude and
of courage is heroic: Their demand that
protection and that of their families is I'M
answerable and ought to be irresistible.
Their enumeration in part OF murders and
of kindred outrages is this: Killed. IA; Sc
verely injured AZ; shot from ambush, 16;
aggravated assaults, 81; attempts to lynch,
/: houses dynamited u: houses burned. 3;
buildings burned, 10; washeries burned, 3;
stockades burned, 2; riots, 50; works dyna-
mited, 6; trains dynamited, /; railroad
bridges dynamited, 4; railroads seized, 5:
trains wrecked, 6; attempted wrecks 8;
trains attacked, 4 strikes in schools. IA.
They then consider some things which
have been said by John Mitchell, and
squarely deny them. They declare that
no man has been expelled from the Min
ers' Union for any crime or conduct of an
atrocious character committed against nom
union workmen, but that every one Of such
offenders has been defended by the en-
ployed attorneys of that body. They add
that the Shamokin convention ordered all
nonunion men out of collieries where any
nonunion help was employed, thereby at
tempting to force nonunion men into the
union or out of work" They notice the
charge of Mitchell that the coal and iron
police are thugs and criminals. but solemn
ly say that. on the contrary. they are "old
residents and respected citizens of the
community" They further claim 'the
same right to remain at their posts of
duty that others have the right to desert
them and that they should not be as
sailed or made to suffer for doing what
they believe to be right to their manhood
to their families, their employers and to
the nation.
This demand will be needed. or no set
Element that is reached will effectually set
tie anything or will deserve to last or to
be respected.

BUILDING ORDER REsCINDED.


Special to the Indianap polls Journal
RICHMOND, Ind. Oct H.-Some time
ago the County Council made an appro-
priation of $4,000 for the construction Of
a new building at the Wayne county in
Urinary, an improvement that is badly
needed. To-day the Council met in special
session to adopt plans for the building.
Plans were originally prepared by two
architects. The plans of John A. Hasecos-
ter had the Endorsement of the County
Charity Board and one member of the
County Board of Commissioners and the
entire Council. The plans of J. s. Kauf-
man had the Endorsement of two members
of the Board of Commissioners. No agree
ment could be reached. AS a. result of the
deadlock. the Council rescinded the order
for the building.
This outcome is great disappointment
to all concerned as 1t was the intention
to have the building erected early In the
spring. The Board OF Charities will take
the matter up later on.
