MINE BOARD EXPECTS
TO MEET NEXT THURSDAY
Representatives of Miners and
Operators Will Organize
in Wilkesbarre

Wilkosbarre, Pa, June 19. - Tne
miners and operators representatives
on the board of Cancellation will meet
in this city for organization on Thurs
day next. June 25. This statement
was given out after a conference be-
tween the parties Interested.
An effort was made to organize this
board four weeks ago, but the oper-
ators refused to recognize the miners
credentials ut that time. This neces-
STATED the calling Of the recent min
crs' convention, when action was taken
to overcome the objections Of the op-
orators. and the miners are now
assured that 70 further objection will
be raised against their represents
tives.
The statement that the operators
object to John Mitchell representing
the miners in an advisory capacity
at the conciliation hearings is Gppar.
emily without foundation. The three
district presidents say they know
nothing of it. and the operators have
made no statement opposing the ma
tional president of the Mine Workers

Traitors to the Labor Cause.
From the Philadelphia Bulletin.

From the Philadelphia Bulletin.
The accusations which have been
made by the district attorney of New
York against two labor leaders. or
walking delegates" ought not to be
cried down or pooh-hooed by the hon
est friends of labor.
There can be no conduct on the part
of a labor leader that is more infamous
and detestable than to make private
profit for himself out of their diff
culties or their strikes. or to betray
them for spot cash to their employers.
Such "a greedy and mercenary sneak
ought TO be branded as renegade and
traitor and driven out forever from the
companionship OF decent and self-re-
specting workingmen. 1t is to the in
| terest of every labor organization
which is true to itself and its welfare
TO assist and not to obstruct the at
tempts TO ferret out the scoundrels who
thus abuse their confidence and PLAY
the part of Benedict Arnolds TO the

LAUNCHING THE GALVESTON.

Here is "a tangle which may require
rare diplomacy. or the courts to settle.
The Navy Department proposes to
launch the cruiser Galveston at Rich
mond on Monday. The hull and ma
chinery Of the ship were built by the
Trigg Shlpbuilding Company, which
recently failed and its affairs are now
IN the hands of a Virginia court. The
Navy Department recently took charge
and has paid a large sum of money
up to date. The Richmond court has
issued an order restraining the Gov
ernment from doing any further work
on the cruiser, holding that this is nee
essary 10 protect the creditors of the
bankrupt company. Now under tn,
advice Of Attorney General Knox the
naval authorities propose to launch tn,
boat, even though the power OF the
navy has 10 be employed.
There is no special emergency which
requires that the cruiser should be ad-
ded to the navy. but the important
question is whether the failure OF
contracting concern can tie up
cruiser or a battleship. In time OF wa
or threatened war this would be
grave matter. II is doubtless the pur
pose of the Navy Department to assel
its power, fearing that there may b
other failures that would retard tn
work Of rebuilding the navy, IL IN
Government should permit the EN-
barassment OF the Richmond firm I
delay the launching Of its ship.

Booker T. Washington. president Of
Tuskegee Institute, Ala, called upon
President Roosevelt to consult with
him concerning his acceptance Of an

Gray, OF the British South African

ditions in British territory and re-
port to the company and to the British
government his plans for the better
ment of the Industrial educational and
moral conditions Of the people. Pro-
fessor Washington would be absent on
the mission about six months. II is
scarcely likely that he will accept the
offer, as influential friends have urged
that 1t would keep him away from his
work in this country too long.

The Summer Resort Doctor.

From the New York Medical Journal.
The Legislature Of the state of New
Hampshire has so amended the law
regarding the practice of medicine that
hereafter physicians who are not IL
censed or registered in the state will
be required to pass an examination
before they can do business at the
summer resort hotels. The amendment
eXpunges from the exemption section
the words cor the hotel physician reSu-
larly employed by the landlord of the
summer hotel i'm the care of his guests
or employees" We believe that the
amendment will work no injustice, but,
on the contrary, that it will restore to
the licensed physicians of New Hamp-
shire a certain degree Of protection of
which they have hitherto been de-
priVcd.

The WHILE TRIAL

Had the court decided to hold spc-
cial session to try the negro accused
of the horrible outrage near Prices
Corner, II would have met with general
approval Swift and sure justice meets
the requirements of punishment in that
It has a deterrent effect on those Of
criminal tendencies.
But there is another view, and this
was probably the thought in The mind
Of the judges. The regular and orderly
conduct of justice is sufficient to meet
all emergencies. We expect justice to
be calm while the people are not We
expect it to be deliberate and unerring,
and since the Christian idea Of punish
ment does not carry with It the thought
Of vengeance, we shall await the reg
ular time when this case shall be heard
and decided.
It might be difficult just now to get
a jury which would weigh the evidence
with that impartiality which is ever de-
sirable. We believe we voice the senti-
ments OF all OF our best citizens when
we say that our feelings call for more
than our sense of justice viii permit
We all feel that we should like to see
the wretch suffer a speedy and ignomi-
nious death, but reason dictates that
the usual processes OF the law should
be followed.

FLY IN THE MILK

II is well for US to know as soon as
possible what kind Of a campaign we
are to have in 1904, and as far as Ad-
dicks is concerned, we have not been
left In ignorance. In an editorial i'm
his paper evidently inspired, we are
through by getting under the skirts
OF the national party. It viii be presi-
dental year, and we are told, not di-
rectly. but Indirectly, that in order TO
give Delawares vote to the next Re-
publican candidate for President we
must get into the Addicks band wagon.
The following quotations from the
Suns editorial show the trend Of the
Addicks reasoning:
The three electoral votes of the state
may be decisive of the result of the
election. II is evident that the political
conditions here are of the utmost inn
portance relative to every interest in
volved IN the presidential election.
Despite many sincere efforts on the
part of the majority to restore unity
of organization and vote there is still
a division and while the proportions
have changed the bolter element is still
strong enough. If it persists in doing So
TO at least put the electoral vote OF the
State in jeopardy. The results of the
last State, and the recent city cleo
ton here, show that to be true
or course the writer OF that screed
fears not the defeat Of the national
ticket half so much as he fears the de-
feat Of Addicks. Everybody knows that
the Regular Republicans have been loyal
to the national party when the Ad-
dicksites were talking Of revenge. Let
it be understood right now that the
Regulars win do all in their power to
AlactS3he Republican national ticket.
but they pledge themselves TO an equal
determination TO leave Addicks at
home. In other words we shall help to
elect the next President but we shall
not permit the election of Addicka; and
the two things are not connected. 1t
would bea afine condition of affairs il ma
tional success depended upon the sue
cess Of Addicks in Delawarel
It is amusing to see the way this
editor rambles on from one proposition
TO another: Our vast industrial and
economical interests are involved"
THE possibility Of defeat stirs every
patriotic sentiment to protest" There
fore, you must disband your organlza-
ton and vote the Addlcks ticket in or =.
der to save the country Pretty. isn't
it?
Then we are told that the Federal Of
fce-holders must cease their opposition
10 Addicksism and embrace the true
faith. They must march under the
banner OF corruption. reDudiating the
sentiments which inspired them when
they were given Office. If they do not
recant they must be displaced by Union
Republicans. In other words, unless
they are willing to sanction corruption
they are to be thrown out. This is IN,
campaign as marked out by Addickl
for 1904. and we are glad to be warned
in advance.
This argument says in effect: YoI
must elect me-rot for amy merit Of m.
-oNn. but you cannot throw the vote o
Delaware to the Republican nationu
ticket without endorsing me. kno,
