night to decide who should pay the shoot

No decision was reached and another

is expected the matter will be amicably ad-
justed.
TERRE HAUTE, Ind, April 1.-President
Hargrove, Vice President Boyle and Com
mtteeman Vaughn of the Indiana miners,
went to Chicago to-day and joined John
Mitchell there to hold a conference with
w. S. Boyle and other operators over the
strike situation. They were confident set
tlement would be reached tonight.
Around the headquarters Of the United
Mine Workers of America there is little
apprehension of a strike in the Indiana soft
coal fields. The men familiar with the
situation and with a knowledge of the re-
lations between the mine operators and
miners are positive that no strike will re-
suit from the slight disagreement between
the two classes. President Mitchell. 1t is
said, will go TO Chicago for consultation
with several of the leading operators.

cused to-day Of corruption in the misuse

for another and also received compensa-
ton in connection with a third measure

ing Gerring. asked Panoch to tell about
a certain ordinance passed by the City
Council.

was passed in the City Council" said
Panoch. II said 10 him. L s'pose you got
something out of that measure?' He told

stock"

HARRISBURG, Pa. April 1-Presidenf
Roosevelt's train arrived at l:l0 ID. m and
remained here nine minutes. The run from
Washington to Harrisburg was uneventful
The train made no stops after leaving Bal
timore except for water. The President
was greeted in this city by a great crowd,
including the members of the Pennsylvania
Legislature and city officials.
Senator Focht, of Union. on behalf of the
Senate. presented greetings to the Presi-

regretted that he could not visit the Capitol.

than five minutes, saying:
Congressman. Mr.. Speaker. Mr.. Presi-
Ladies-I am greatly touched and pleased
by this greeting a wholly unexpected one.

not much for me TO say TO you. / feel,
rather, when 1 come here. like sitting at the
feet OF Gamaliel and learning.
1.-The prosperity in which you OF this
State. you of this city. have sc abundantly
shared must come primarily from two
sources, the individual skill and efficiency
of the individual man, capitalist or wage
worker, working for himself as a founda-
tion and with il. the superstructure Of the
men who work not merely for Themselves.
but for one another.
1.-The president of the Senate was kind
enough TO speak of what has been done

done by the gentlemen on the anthracite
strike commission. And surely no prbiIca-
ton by any associat tion designed purely TO

better worth scanning and learning than
the document containing the conclusions OF
those men. and II, as people. we viii
take to heart the lessons taught therein it
will be better for all OF US. Fuadament-
ally our interests are the same. Funda-
mentally, you hurt or help some OF our peo-
ple and inevitably you hurt or help others.

TO be learned in our national life Is the les
son OF our solidarity of interests. and that

plauSe.

NEEDED IN PHILIPPINES.
Money That Was Not Used for Relief
of West Indian Sufferers.

NEW YORK, April 1.-The New York
committee appointed by President Roose-
Welt for the relief of the West Indies suffer-
ers at st. Pierre. Martinique, and other
places on account of volcanic eruptions
made report to the President to-day. De-
tails of the organization of the committee
and its cooperation with similar bodies in
twenty other cities are given. The finan-
cial statement shows that subscriptions
amounting to sl57.592 were received and
that only S70.793 was expended for relief
work. When that amount had been paid
out il was found that no more supplies
were needed.
The committee says that so per cent of
the amount subscribed can now be re-
turned. but President Roosevelt having
suggested that some donors might wish
to send their balances to Governor Taft in
response to his appeal for aid for suffer-
ers in the Philippines the committee has
decided to ask subscribers what they wish
to do with the money due them.

May Close the Quarries.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal
BLOOMINGTON. Ind, April bloom
ington and vicinity greatly interested
in the threatened strike in the Greene coun-
ty coal fields. At best the quarry COM
panies cannot run over month. and some
have not coal for that long. Almost all the
soft coal used here comes from Greene
county. w. T. Blair, who handles a large
part of the coal trade, says that by special
effort most of the quarries have a good sup
nlv of coal but IL the mines do not start
within month business will be practically
suspended. Perhaps coal can be secured
from the Kentucky mines, but the price is
too high. over one thousand men are en-
ployed in the various quarries in the county.

IN THE ANTHRACITE REGION.
Award of the Strike Commission Now
in Enect-SOme Friction.

PHILADELPHIA. April 1.-The award
of the anthracite coal strike commission
went into full effect to-day throughout the
anthracite coal region. The beginning of
the new conditions was generally observed
as a holiday in the southern fields almost
all the mines In that district being idle.
In several towns parades and mass meet
ings were held. In the middle and upper
regions some of the collieries were not
operated. but most of the mine workers re-
ported for duty. AS rule the readtust-
ment of hours and other conditions was
effected with little. difficulty. At some
places there was friction, but it is ex-
pected that whatever difficulty still exists
will be Strengthened out in few days. In
the region where the Reading collieries are
situated there Is some trouble regarding
the establishment of the three shifts of
eight hours each among the firemen as
ordered by the commission. Until to-day
the firemen have worked twelve hours.
and IL is alleged by some of the fremen
that in making up the third shift of eight
hours men were taken from the other two
shifts. increasing the work. even though
the hours have been reduced.

wanted them to go to work a half hour
later than at present and take half hour

300 men struck because the owners would

NO CONSPIRACY.


The question now is whether upon all or
the proof before it the court should award
a preliminary injunction or set aside the
provisional restraining order already made.
The court, after fully considering all the
proof. finds that the statements OF the bill
of complaint to the effect that the
ployes were satisfied with their wages and
conditions of service are not supported;
that. irrespective of the question whether
the men or the committee OF the brother
hoods representing them first suggested the
increase of wages and change OF rules, the
employees themselves and for a long time
prior to the filing of the bill of complaint
were dissatisfied with their wages and
conditions of service and a real difference
of opinion existed between the railroad
and large majority of its employees, men,
bers of the brotherhoods, with respect TO
their wages, and the defendants, as men,
bers OF the brotherhoods, were fully author
ized, by both reason of their official rela-
tion to their members and also by direct
effort to secure higher wages and changed
conditions of service. and that the pro-
posed strike. instead OF being offciously
ordered by defendants, was result of the
vote of the employees acting without CO.
ercion and directly authorizing the same
The court further finds after a full ex-
of conspiracy to interfere with the inter-
state commerce of the United States or the
mail service of the United States is not
sustained.
In discussing these issues, after review
ing many authorities, the court concludes
and lays down the law governing the rights,
duties and privileges of employees as found
on the latter part of page No. 5 and fore
part of Page 9, of the opinion.
Judge Adams, in concluding his deci-
sion, said: II cannot conclude this opin-
ion without expressing the sincere wish
OF the court that If the parties are unable
to adjust their differences by such mutual
concessions necessary to that end,
the offer made in open court by defendants
counsel to submit the questions In dispute
to the board of arbitration provided for
by the act of Congress of 1898, will be
speedily accepted and another instance of
rational and intelligent adjustment of
business difficulty be exhibited to an ex-
pectant public"
