uTs the coal trust a conspiracy

"Is the coal trust a conspiracy
Is the subject Of an interesting
article in Gunton's Magazine for
September. The facts stated in
this article will be a surprise to
many people. 1t is pointed out
that 10 the 6rst place there was
absolutely no justification for
present conditions, and it is ex
planned: It will be remembered
that at the outset, the laborers
made no demand whatever they
simply aked that a conference be
held to arrange the schedule of
prices and other conditions for the
ensuing year. That course had
previously been adopted. AT the
close Of the strike in 1900, they
agreed to that method. 1t was
very satisfactory; and the agree
ment terminated on the 1st of
April, 1902. A very sensible,
commonplace act, therefore, was
for both parties to meet, and either
confirm the old agreement or ar
range a new one for the future.
The request for conference was
an ordinary, rational procedure,
which nothing but disposition to
create disturbance could refuse.
Yet the railroads all rejected the
proposition, and the president of
each railroad made personal re-
ply, the tone, and very largely the
language, Of the communications
were identical, showing that the
letters had all been written or re-
vised by the same hand.
In these same letters railroad
presidents, according to this same
writer refused to confer with the
men through their organization,
while claiming to be willing to
"deal justly and fairly by them
(the laborers) and give every man
fair compensation for the work he
performed" In short the oper.
ators insisted upon being sole ar
bitors Of both sides Of the con-
tract. In accordance with this
idea, . few days later they posted
notices at their respective collieries
stating that "the rate Of wages
now in effect will continue until
April 1st, 1908, and thereafter be
subject to sixty days notice" This
was well calculated to create a
rupture, and it is difficult to inter-
pref this action in any other light
than that 1t was purposely de-
signed to produce that result. Had
there been the slightest element Of
fairness, or respect for Uncommon
right OF the laborer to make a con-
tract, or the desire to maintain in
dustrial peace, such arbitrary &C.
lion could not and would not have
been taken. This left the laborers
no alternative but to forego all
right eventually to participate in
making, regarding their
own conditions, or to make a spe.
ciilc demand and strike for ii.

THE PRESIDENTS CALL.

Washington, Oct, 15.-President
Roosevelt went out socially to-
night for the first time since the
the operation was performed on
his leg, dining informally at Sec
rotary Hays house. It also was
the first time he had walked in pub
tic. His leg apparently has re-
covered a large measure Of its
strength, and he no longer has to
use crutch. No limp is observ-
able.

in the country until he saves few

proceeds to paint It a bright, forid
color He arrived in the city last
Wednesday and started on his usual
reckless career. He had a good time,
but, as is his custom, landed in the
cooler When arralgned before Re.
corder Van Wrinkle he made a strong
plea for himself, and promised to re,
form if allowed to return to the coun.
try. Knowing that the judge was
somewhat of politician. he sought to
gain sympathy by making his defense
along political lines. He said that he
was working out in the Waldo Hills,
in Marion county, and his employer
made him go to Salem to vote for
Chief of Police Gibson. He started on
his downward career and continued
to lush until he was rounded up by
the Albany officers. The recorder
could not exactly see the point Of his
profuse story, and, after due delibera.
tion, ordered his confinement in the
city Jail for period not exceeding 10
days He will probably be released
