CONVICTS MINE COAL
Tennessee Coal & Iron Company
GettiLg Along With the
Worst of All Labor.

New York. Oct. Sat the quarterly
meeting of the directors of the Ten
nessee Coal Iron & Railway company
held here today the directors endorsed
the action of the officers of the COM
pany in their refusal TO accede to the
demands of the striking miners in the
Alabama mines. President d. II. Ba-
con, of the company. said;
"The position taken by the officers
of the company has the full support of
the board of directors. The trouble
arose in this way: Some of the min
ers were willing to pay 81 apiece
week for the support of the strik-
ing anthracite miners and some were
not. The men who were willing to
pay the money were In the majority
and they made a demand upon the
officers of the company that the men
who would not pay TO the union should
either have the money taken out of
their wages or be discharged. The COM
pany declines to do this and the strike
is on. The strike affects us TO the
extent of about a quarter of our out
put
About 5000 men are out but we
have a large force of eonvicts at work.
We hire them from the state, which
examines each man, rates him as phys
ically able to do so much work, and
charges us accordingly.
These convicts are well treated. get
ting paid at the regular mining scale
for whatever coal they mine about the
amount the state rates for each"

Sent by the President to Plead With

Mitchell.
Washington, Oct. 6.-Tnere Is only
one development OF Importance in the
coal strike situation today. Frank T..
Sargent, commissioner Of immigration,
and for many years chief of the Broth
erh00d Of Locomotive. Firemen. had a
long interview with President ROose-
Welt today and left Washington very
soon afterward. Mr.. Sargent intimat-
cd that tht-interview concerned the coal
strike, but he would not discuss the
matter From the fact that he has
always been influential with labor or
CARNATIONS. IL is generally believed
that he Is entrusted with a message TO
President Mitchell of the Miners union.
IL Is also said that Mr.. Sargent Is 10
meet Mr. Mitchell In Philadelphia and
deliver the message OF the president
urging that the miners end the strike
IN the interests of the public.
while many propositions have been
under discussion. Il is almosS certain
that the administration is taking up
only one at a time. The present plan
Is that outlined In the Associated Press
dispatches Saturday and Sunday and
contemplates an end of the strike by
the action Of President Mitchell and ms
associates, and a full investigation or
The mining conditions later.
No hope is entertained that anything
can be accomplished through the coal
operators. Should the movement now
on foot fail, there seems 10 be no other
plan which presents a feasible solution
u the serious problem.
While IL Is generally believed that
President Roosevelt has sent q direct
appeal 10 Mr. Mitchell. no confirmation
OF such action was Obtainable at the
White House.

Idaho Republican chairman's
Mission to Salt Lake.
SH0UP IS ALSO IN ZION
OTHER GEM STATE REPUBLICAN
LEADERS HERE.
SHOUP is ALSO IN zIOr

II EPUBLICAN politicians of both
X Idaho and Wyoming were prom
inently represented in Salt Lake
yesterday. From Idaho came ex-Sen-
ator George l.. Shoup of Boise, f. Il.
GOoding. chairman of the Republican
state committee; John A. Bagley of
Montpelier. nominee for attorney gen.
eral, and James A. Hays of Boise.
Wyoming was represented by Judge
c. +. F'ishback of Rawlins.
Chairman GOoding had several OBJ
jeets In coming to Salt Lake at this
time. Not the least of these objects
is said 10 be an attempt TO influence
Mormon voters in Idaho 10 support the
Republican ticket. As an aid toward
this end, it is understood that Presi-
dent Ben Z. Rich has been hired 10
make twenty speeches in southeastern
Idaho before election day.
I look to see Bear Lake and Ere
mont counties go Republican this next
election" said Mr. Gooding at the
Kenyon yesterday. Both these coun-
ties contain a large Mormon pOpuIa-
ton"
Mr.. Gooding says the Democratic ma
jority in Idaho two years ago will be
overcome. He is confident of eaptur-
ing the state offices. the congressman
and the legislature, which will elect a
United States senator TO succeed Sena-
tor Heitfeld. The campaign will be
largely on state issues. according 10
Mr.. Gooding. The fusion forces had
majority of nine in the last legisla-
ture, and both Mr.. GOOding and ex-
Senator Shoup say that the redistrict-
ing of the state two years ago has In
creased the prospects of Republican
success with the legislative tickets.
Il think the Republicans will carry
the state" said Mr.. Shoup ar the
Knutsford. Il have just returned from
campaigning over the northern part OF
the state and l think we are coming
out all right there. In my judgment
we will win the state Offices and the
congressman by $500 to 5000 majority
as compared with a fusion majority
two years ago of 1880 and upward

At this time someone blew out The

window. taking the sash with hiIn.
During the ARRAY several shots were
fired i'm the dark, one entering the left
side of Bartnick and lodging just un-
der the skin between the eleventh and
twelfth ribs, on the opposite side.
While Bartnick lay on the floor wound
ed. his wife placed gun in his hands

promptly taken from him, after which
she gave him a knife, which also was
taken from him. Bartnick lived about
an hour after the shooting. Nalley

There is talk of lynching around
town this evening and excitement is
running high. as Deputy Nalley was
a favorite among the miners and II
his wounds should result fatally there
may be a lynching bee On the other
hand the Finlanders and Slavs are ex-
cited over the affair and bitter feel
ing against the marshal and deputies
exists. The city Jail is being strong
w guarded against any attempt at
lynching and the officers will resist
strongly. 1t is hard to say who ala
the shooting. owing to the house being
in darkness.
