Wilkesbarre, July 1S.-What is said
to be the first attempt to operate a
breaker in the anthracite coal region
since the strike was declared, was
made at Nanticoke yesterday when the
susquehanna company started up its
No. Z breaker at that place Some
OF the local operators are inclined to
look upon the move as the beginning
of the breaking up Of the strike.

AGAINST GENERAL STRIKE
Soft Coal Miners Practically
Decide Not to Walk Out.
WOULD NOT HELP SITUATION.
President Mitchell Speaks Strongly
! Against General WaIkout and Ad.
Gates Assessments-some Delegates
\ Are Disappointed.

Indianapolis, July 18.-If the voice
and influence of President Mitchell of
the United Mine Workers prevail with
the members of his organization there
will be no general strike OF the or
ganization. The chances of such q
step being taken now are very remote.
In his speech in the convention yes
terday afternoon Mr.. Mitchell advised
strongly against strike and urged
that the bituminous miners continue
at work and that a system Of assess
ment upon the members of the order,
which he outlined, be carried into e.
feet as the best means of affording
aid and support to the striking anthra
cite men in the east.
Sentiment Against Strike.
His recommendations, if adopted by
the convention yesterday, would have
settled the entire question for which
the convention was called and an inl-
mediate adjournment would have fol-
lowed. A motion to adopt the sugges.
tions of President Mitchell provoked
long debate in which the general
sentiment was against the ordering
of the strike. The men from the an
thracite regions finally made a request
that they be allowed to hold a caucus
to determine upon an expression Of
opinion as to what they thought the
convention should do and asked an
adjournment Of the convention for
this purpose. Their request was
granted and the adjournment taken.
The men who were in favor of strike
were in decided minority in the con.
vention.
The convention began in Tomlinson
hall with an attendance OF about 900
delegates. Nearly every man on the
floor was the possessor Of several
proxies. The first session was not of
an executive character and there were
many spectators present anxious to
witness the proceedings of what has
been heralded as one Of the most i'm
portant gatherings Of laboring men
held in recent years.
Mitchell Outlines Policy.
President Mitchell advocated the
following policy: That the treasurer
of the order be directed to appropriate
$4,000 for the relief of the anthra-
cite miners; that local unions approprf
ate for the same purpose as large a
sum as they can afford; that an as
sessment of 81 per week be levied
on all members of unions; that all
officers of the national districts dra W.
ing a salary of $50 month or over
contribute 25 per cent OF their salar-
les; that an appeal be made to all
trade unions and citizens generally
to aid the cause of the miners; that an
address to the American people ba
issued appealing to them to bring such
pressure to bear as will compel the
operators to submit to arbitration.
Walkout Out Of the Question.

delegations 1t was determined to op
pose any general strike. The Iowa

general strike practically out of the
question, as the anthracite men can
not carry their point without the aid
of Illinois and with that state and
Iowa and Ohio against them, there is
no apparent manner in which a strike
can be ordered.
The opinion prevailed among the
delegates that strike would lessen
the chances of the anthracite miners
to win, for the reason that it would
take from them all the support that
the soft coal men will be able to ex-
tend if they continue at work. Then,
too, there is genuine dislike among
the soft coal men to take action that
will place them in the position of vio-
lating their contracts with the mine
owners.
Caucus of Anthracite Miners.
The meeting Of the anthracite min
ers held after the adjournment of the
convention resulted in nothing but the
conclusion that there was no way in
which a strike could be forced and
that those members of the anthracite
otoIAlSIo WIZ WSlC 1AAlOuS AOI q SITlkG
would be disappointed. There was a
long conference and vote was de-
cided upon, but when 1t was partially
taken it was seen that the result
would be SO strong in upholding the
recommendations of President Mitch
ell that the vote was not concluded.
While there is an element among the
| anthracite men that is generally dis
appointed 1t is not likely that any fight
will be made upon the floor of the con-
| vention.
Mitchell is Pleased.
President Mitchell said: I am
greatly pleased with the outcome of
work done by the convention so far,
and have no doubt that the policy
outlined in my speech will be carried
out substantially. Some minor
changes may be made, but the policy
! as whole will be followed by the
| convention, am certain"

Mr.. C. M. Browns Candidacy.

1t will be seen by reference to a card
printed elsewhere. in these columns
that Mr.. c. VI. Brown has announced
himself q candidate for state senator
for the 10Th senatorial district, COM
prising the counties of Marion and
Sumter. So far Mr.. Brown has no
opposition.
Mr.. Brown is the eldest son of the
late Mr.. Gibson Brown, one Of the
pioneers of this county, and who bore
the reputation of being the first IMAM
in Marion county to plant an orange
grove for profit.
When q young man Mr.. Brown
studied law and WAS admitted to the
bar but abandoned the profession for
industrial and merchantile pursuits
in which he has been quite successful.
He put out several very large orange
groves and succeeded in bringing
them to maturity. After Ocala's dis
astrous fire in 1883, he erected the
present Ocala House and has other
industrial monuments TO his credit.
He is natural orator and, was Sc
lected by Governor Jennings to place
his name in nomination before the
democratic convention at Jackson
vile in 1900, and his speech was the
subject of favorable comment by all
who heard it, and largely helped to
win for Mr.. Jennings his nomination.
He has entered The present senate
rial race to win, and has already made
a canvass of Sumter county and will
do the same in Marion. He will
leave no stone unturned to attain the
object of his ambition.

OCALA AND THE STRENUOUS LIFE"

A little business mission took us up
TO the northern limits of the city yes
terday, which is known in that locali-
ty "a the factory end of Ocala," and
it WAS really a delight to witness the
activities that are 10 progress. First
We passed the Ocala Foundry and
Machine Works, and the number
of boilers, engines, locomotives and
other articles of machinery inside and
outside the yards and buildings shows
what is being done there. This es-
Enlistment has doubled it, capacity
twice since its location IN Ocala, and
is still pressed for room. 1t is one Of
the biggest industries Ocala can boast
Of.
We next passed the mill aud box
factory Of J. II. Taylor Il Company,
which is also busy in charging its
plant, preparing for an increased
business in making vegetable crates
for this seasons crop.
The lee Factory was likewise busy
making shipments Of ice and receiv-
ing meats for cold storage. It's cold
storage department has more than
doubled in the last two years and the
proprietors believe that foundation
has been laid for the creation Of q
business that viii make OcaIa famous.
We next passed the Ocala Gas
Works and like all Of Ocsia's manu-
featuring plants, it has had most
profitable winters trade and the con-
sumption OF gas has been larger than
the owners of the same had any
reason TO expect. They are delighted
with the business Of the past winter
and of the future outlook.
The Spoke amt Rim Factory seemed
to have been particularly busy in its
various departments. This company
is the largest of Ocala's industries,
having the largest number of men
on its pay roll, and Is well pleased
with its success since its establish
ment here.
Hard by the Spoke and Rim Factory
is the Ocala Barrel Factory, which
is no small item in the activities Of
our business life, a. the turpentine
trade is largely supplied with their
barrels from his .actory, which Is
saying a grea' deal, because few peo-
pie are aware o. the number of
barrels required for this industry.
If persons do not believe that Ocala
is pursuing the strenuous life" a
walk from the court house to the
northern limits of the city on Osceola
street will convince them to the
contrary.

SOUTHERNERS IN NEW YORK.

The death of Charles Broadway
R0uss calls attention TO the number OF
southerners In New York and the
most palatable thing ABOUT 1t IL that
so many Of them have done well.
Mr.. R0uss was by no means the only
millionaire amongst them and Mayor
Van Wyck and Judge Roger A. Pryor
are not the only ones that have risen
to political prominence.
Judge Augustus Van Wyck, Of the
Southern society, in his address before
that organization on the evening OF
Washington's birthday, said that ac-
cordiug TO his best information there
were fully 100000 men, women and
children in Greater New York who
are either born In the south or are
children of southern parents who nave
settled there. At the Georgia society
banquet the number was put at less
but was still very large.
The New York Commercial IN an
interesting asticle on "New York's
Southern Colony" says that there are
undoubtedly now in that city more
than 10000 native-bOrn sOutherners {;
that if the children OF these southern
residents are counted the number is
fully 100000. The states have con-
tributed the 10000 as follows; Mary
land, 5000; Virginia, -, 700; North
Carolina, $500; South Carolina, L.
400: Georgia, 1900; Florida, l,4OO;
Alabama, 1850; Kentucky, 800;
Louisiana. 200; Texas, 1900; Ten
nessee, l 800; Mississippi, 500; West
Virginia. 500; Arkansas, 300, and
Missouri, 3,40O.
The number of southern men who
won their way to leadership Is re-
markabIe. The Savannah Morning
News Is well within the facts when 1t
says on this subject:
at is probable that the number OF
southerners who have attained success
in New York, In proportion to the
whole number there, Is as great as
that of men from any other section of
the country, If not greater. Southern
ers are prominent in business and the
professions. It is no unusual thing to
lind q man who has come into promi-
renee suddenly, either in finance,
law or literature, is from the south.
1.-The south, of course, suffers to
some extent from the loss Of bright
Young men, but the loss Of young
men does not bear so hard upon her
as the loss of so much of her cash in
New York's great exchanges-the cot
ton and stock exchanges. The hum
dreds of millions of dollars which these
exchanges have taken from the south
since the war Of secession would be
sufficient to build factories enough to
spin her entire cotton crop and make
a second Pittsburg out of Birmingham.
New York draws from the whole
but it is a question whether
she does draw more heavily from the
south than any other section"
THE south is proud Of her children
who have so greatly distinguished
themselves in New York, but, after all
the best chances that young south
erner Of character, brains and deter
can find anywhere are await
ing him ia his own native section.
