WILLING TO STRIKE.

WILLING TO STRIKE.
The anthracite miners themselves have
expressed their Willingness to strike, and
would have voiced their sentiments at the
national convention held in this city last
winter had they not been checked by the
national officers and more conservative
members from other fields. In one of their
conferences they asked the national or
ganization to support a strike in the an
thracite region to the extent of closing all
the mines in the country if it was neces-
sary to gain a victory. This radical desire
was modified by the counsel of the national
officers, and when the matter reached the
convention their request was for financial
assistance and all other means that would
bring strike to a successful end After
returning to the anthracite field the dis
satisfaction became manifest on several
occasions, and while an adjustment was
awaiting the decision of the Civic Fedora
tion ii was all the officers could do to hold
the men in check.
The miners really have nothing much
additional TO risk in a strike involving West
Virginia and the central field of Pennsyl-
vania, and ii is thought the interest of the
miners could be better served by a strike
at this time than any other. IN West Vir-
ginia there are no contracts TO stand in
the way of a strike, but the bituminOus
field i'm Pennsylvania is not so admirably
adapted for strike. The policy OF the
miners has been to live up to their con-
tracts and not strike where companies have
big contracts. and ii is believed that the
operators in these threatened districts who
are fortunate enough to have large con-
tracts VIII not lose by a strike. The or
ganization has no contracts in West Nir-
ginia.
Secretary Wilson will leave for the an
thracite district Tuesday to attend the con-
vention on Wednesday. If a strike is or
dered he may establish temporary head
quarters there with President Mitchell. He
has little TO say concerning the strike other
than that information is coming from the
other end

wolves some complicated labor.
One thing is certain. the full weight
and influence OF the Great California
interests, including the efforts of the
states delegation in congress. are to be
exerted against awarding the contract
to any Puget Sound company. The tel
egrams sent out by Senator Perkins in
dictate, however, that he is satisfied
that the transpacific business is going
to be done by private firms, and that
the only hope for San Francisco is to
buy up the transports. 1t is acknowl-
edged freely that the California in
teresfs at present have no ships with
which 10 handle the business.

Seattle, Dec. "A special 10 the
Post lntelligencer from Washington,
says:
The California interests are thor
oughy aroused over the prospect that
Seattle may get her army transporta-
ton business away from San Francisco.
Senator Perkins sent urgent kilograms
to leading representatives OF CONNER
cial and business houses in SAN Fran
cisco advising them to take steps at
once to purchase the remaining army
transports as soon as they are offered
for sale. He told them that it WAS the
only chance of establishing line or
lines OF steamers that may save the
military transportation business for
California. Mr.. Perkins called n the
war department on Saturday. and wha,
be learned there was not calculated 10
encourage him in the hope that the
governments troops and supplies will
contiue to be shipped from san Fran
cisco, and the information led himko
believe that unless san Francisco does
something and quickly, Seattle has y
mighty good chance OF securing the
coveted business. The California sen
ator is well aware of the prestige as
well as the material profit tina, the
Puget Sound interests will derive from
securing the contract for CARRYING on
the military transportation business
across the Pacific.

FISH AT THE HEAD.
Industry Leads in Value Any Other
in the State.

Olympia. Dec. 1.-State Fish Com
missioner kershaw has fled his bien-
NAL report. The statement is made
that the fish industry exceeds every
other industry in the state of Washing
ton. This is considered whea. state,
but the income from the fish industry
is more than the total value of the
wheat produced. This state is known
far and wide as a lumber producing
state. but the value of the fish output
beats the lumber output by over ST.
600 900. We are also said to be coal
producing state, but the value OF the
coal produced falls below the value of
the fish sold by over $3,000,000 per
year. These comparisons are made for
the year 1901, and it shows a wonder
ful growth of the fishing industry.
Whatcom leads in the value and
amount of the output, being credited
with about two-thirds of the whole.
This is why Mr.. kershaw moved the
office from Tacoma to Whatcom some
his office for last year, which were

over s35 900. OF it.
A large part OF the report is consum.
ed in discussing the need for sockeye
hatchery. The only spawning stream
of the Sockeye in Puget Sound is the
Fraser river, and efforts Lave made to
secure concessions from the Canadian
government looking to the establish
ment by this state of a hatchery on one
of the tributaries of the Fraser in
British Columbia. Mr.. Henry Doyle,
president OF the British Columbia Can
nerymen's Association, is now in Otta-
va urging this concession upon the Do
minion government. and Mr.. kershaw
expects a favorable report before the
adjournment OF the legislature. A
deputy has already been sent to British
Columbia to select site, and his re-
port is given in full in Mr.. Kershaw's
report. The site selected is on Poole
creek. one of the headwaters of Ear-
rison lake and Harrison river, which in
turn is a tributary OF the Fraser.

SESSION
NATIONAL CONGRESS ASSEMBLED
ON MONDAY.
Statehood Bills Will Have Right of
Way in the Senate After the First
Week...Trusts and Tariffs Will of
Course BE Prominent Topics, and
About Only Ones in House.

Washington, Dec. both houses OF
congress assembled at noon, but the
sessions were very brief, no business
being transacted beyond the appoint
ment of the committee to notify the
president, and the introduction OF bills.
The admission of the territories of
Oklahoma, New Mexico and Arizona as
states of the Union probably will be
the first subject of general importance
to receive the attention of the senate.
After the omnibus territorial bill
passed the house last session, its friends
in the senate were so insistent on ac
tion by the senate and so strong in
point Of numbers that in the interest of
other pending legislation unanimous
Grafton of abatement by the friends OF
the measure during the last session.
the committee Oh territories would re-
port on the bill on next Wednesday,
December 3, and that a week later the
bill should become the unfinished bust
ness in the senate. which means that
unless the measure shall be displaced
by vote. or by unanimous consent, it
will occupy the first place on the senate
calendar until disposed OF.
Trusts and the Tariff.
Other questions, which in addition to
the appropriation bills are expected to
receive the attention OF the senate at
this session, are the trusts, the tariff
and Cuban reciprocity. 1t is possible
that the Cuban question may be post
poned until the pending commercial
treaty with the Cuban government shall
be transmitted to the senate but there
has not been any determination on that
point. Very few Republican senators
admit the probability of any change Of
the tariff law during the present SEES
sion, but some bills to modify present
schedules may be introduced an |
speeches made thereon.
In the house there was perfect de-
LUCE of bills dealing with the trust
matter. 1t is expected that republic
can caucus will be necessary before a
definite line of action is agreed upon.
Ii is admitted on all hands that this
will be the most important topic of dis
cussion. Indeed. the leaders incline to
the belief that beyond the appropria-
tiun bills and routine legislation it will
he the only general subject on which
there is chance ior action at the short
session. As yet the leaders have form
ulated no measure, AND. there should be

Development Work Shows That the First Indications
Are Holding Out.

A. r. Byrd, whose discovery Of gold
ore on the south fork of the Bonito
created such sensation a few weeks
ago in Lincoln county, Is developing
his Free Gold claim. At a depth of 20
feet the tunnel he is driving shows
more free gold than did the surface
find. The free gold is visible clear
across the face of the tunnel. Several
thousand pounds of the ore have been
taken out for the mill test. A hundred
assays have been made from average
samples Of the ore and they range
from $50 to $4,000 Of gold, while the av-
erage is $100 per ton outside Of the rich
pockets from which assays as high as
$4,000 ton have been procured.
