NO SIGNS OF A BREAK.
Secretary Wilson Discusses the An.
tnracite Strike.

thracite Strike.
Indianapolis, Aug. 18.-"The strike
in the anthracite region is firm as the
everlasting hills. Confidence and
quiet reign supreme"
Such is the strike synopsis of the
situation in the anthracite field as pub
Eshed in this weeks issue of the Mine
Workers Journal, the official organ of
the United Mine Workers of America.
The fourteenth week of the strike has
closed and the managers declare that
the strikers are stronger than when
the strike was declared.
"The fact that $4,000 men remain
on strike for that period" said w. B.
Wilson, secretary-treasurer, without
sign of break in the ranks. is the
strongest argument that l know of in
favor of the justice of their claims. If
even portion of that number had
been receiving even living wages be-
fore the strike it would be next to i'm
possible to keep them from returning
to work.
while the strikers are being cared
for in the best manner possible, there
is nothing in the provision made
which would make man prefer to
live in idleness if it were possible to
earn living in the mines.'
Mr.. Wilson says there is no fixed
rule for the distribution of the money
and supplies which are provided by the
national organization. The census bu-
reau says the average family consists
of five members and on this basis the
miners organization is caring for
$4,000 men, women and children.
Il do not believe there is any way
to whip the striking miners unless it
is to starve them out" Wilson said.
"And do not see any very grave dan.
ger of that coming to pass"

NORTH DAKOTA HAPPENINGS
EVENTS OF THE WEEK THROUGH.
OUT THE STATE.
Five Hundred Experienced Miners
Can Find Work in the State.
Death of an Old Missouri
River Sfeanoho,< H,n%ain


North Dakota is short of miners.
Such a statement few years ago
would have been regarded as a huge
joke, but it is not now so regarded,
especially by the coal operators who
have gone into the business on a
large scale, and who cannot mine coal
fast enough, to keep up with orders.
F. S. Lycan, general manager for the
Kenmare Dry Coal and Manufacturing
company, has been spending a few
days in Fargo and says all the oper-
ators are having a serious time in Sc
curing sufficient help. On ac-
count Of the big strike in the East,
the demand for Ignite has increased
in leaps and bounds. Mr.. Lycan states
that 500 experienced miners could Sc
cure work at once in this state, and
he believes an effort should be made
to induce some of the idle miners in
the East or in Iowa to come to this
state with the intention of remaining
permanently. He asserts that wages
here are at least one-third higher than
they are in Iowa or any of the Eastern
mining states. AS about all the state
institutions are using native coal, and
all the manufacturing companies are
gradually coming to burn it, the de.
mand for miners will be steady and
increasing each year.
