OPERATORS MEET TO
STIMULATE PRICES

Cleveland, Ohio, Dec. 24.-Coal oper-
ators and miners from Ohio, Pennsyl-
vania, West Virginia, Indiana and H.
linois met in Cleveland early this week
to devise, if possible, some method to
make unnecessary the curtailment of
the coal output. It is understood the
miners will be asked to accept re-
duction in wages, so the price of coal
may be reduced and the demands
stimulated. If the men accept the pro-
position the operators will endeavor to
continue running their mines at full
capacity. If the proposition is not ac-
cepted it is said that the operators will
reduce the output equal to a months
production from all the mines in the
districts named. A local operator says
the closing of factories and the spread
Of electric power have greatly reduced
the consumption of coal.

NATIONAL ARBITRATION
BOARD rs SUGGESTED

Chicago, Dec. 24.-The creation Of a
national arbitration tribunal, named by
the President, to which shall be sub
mitted all disputes between capital aud
labor, is the aim Of Volney w. Foster
of Chicago. He has drawn up bill,
copies of which have been sent to lead
ing business men, manufacturers and
labor leaders, with request that they
suggest such amendments as they deem
necessary to make the bill as effective
as possible. The bill provides for 4
commission of six members at salary
of $4,000 a year with the Secretary of
Commerce and Labor as an ex-officio
member and chairman. The members
are not to accept perquisites aside from
their salaries, under a penalty of a fine
Of $5,000 or two years imprisonment,
or both. The headquarters of the trib-
unal are to be in Washington. The
proposed bill provides that the tribunal,
determine all cases, either in the at
firmative or negative, on the claims OF
both parties. It also provides that
there shall be no strike or lockout
pending the investigation, and both
parties to be controversy are to re-
sumo and continue their former rela-
tions. This condition is to remain un-
til decision has been reached.

PARRY DEFINES POSI-
TION OF NEW PARTY

Indianapolis, Dec. 24.-H. NJ Parry,
the president of the Citizens Industrial
Association of America, says of the new
organization: "We are not opposed to
organized labor, organized for legiti-
mate purposes. But we want to make
the laboring man understand that the
joining Of a union does not make him
immune from the law. In the modern
union there is an evil which, if allowed
to grow unhampered, will overturn, not
only the Industrial world, but the gov
ernment as well. The present labor
troubles are due entirely to the un-
lawful methods which labor unions
have taken to enforce their demands.
The claim that labor unions are the
cause Of the present increased wages
and shorter hours has no basis. The
improved conditions are due entirely
to natural progress and the laws of
supply and demand" es

AGREE WITH POLISHERS

Cincinnati, O., Dec. A-Representa-
tives of the Metal Polishers' Interna-
honal Union and the Stove Founders
National Defense Association have fail
ed to agree on the. nine-h hour day pro-
position for 5000 men. The two or
ganizations have perpetual agreement
and meetings are held yearly to make
changes. The failure to agree gives the
union the right to strike without violat-
ing the agreement. This will not be
done, however, until submitted to the
general convention next Spring. The
conference agreed on two important
points--that prices for work shall be
set upon each separately and that if
either side desires a change in wages
it must present the same thirty days
prior to July l.

MINE WORKERS FIGHT
AGAINST REDUCTION

Indianapolis, Dec. 24.-word has been
received, at the headquarters OF the
United Mine Workers that the miners
III the Myersdale, Pa, district struck
Wednesday of this week. Between
5000 and 10000 men will be affected.
The strike is on account OF q proposed
cut in the wages Of the men, Of ten
cents a ton. The operators state that
this cut is necessary on account of the
condition Of the market, but the min
ers deny this and say that the price
Of coal can be reduced and wages re-
main the same and the operators still
make good profit

UNEMPLOYED MEN
ORGANIZE UNION

st. Louis, Dec. PA union of un-
employed men Of the laboring class who
do not belong to. any labor organiza
ttion whatever has been formed in St.
Louis, and the project has so far ad-
vanced that officers have been leceted
and constitution drafted. The Or
ganization will be known as the Ma
tional Workers Union. BY organizing
the unemployed, those behind the move
ment say that they can get in direct
touch with the employers and be sbene-
ficial not only to themselves but to
those who hire labor. After the organ
ization is perfected there similar affilia-
ting unions will be organized through
out the. country.

O'GRADY WARNS.
UNION MEN

"If the unions of this country do not
emerge from the curse of internal war
and internecine strife the employers
associations, headed by d. M. Parry,
will wipe out the organized labor move
ment.'' This assertion was made by
James O'Grady, delegate from the
British Trades and Labor Assembly to
this country. Mr.. O'Grady was in Chi
cago. the past week, to assist the wood
workers in building up their organiza-
tion. At meeting he said that the
conditions here are much the same as
in England, particularly the relations Of
employees to the courts. Injunctions are
the bane of the organized workmen in
England, as they are in America.

Cincinnati, o., Dec: A.-The Interna-
tional Iron Moulders' Union has begun
proceedings to put a stop to a system
Of extortion which, it is claimed. is
practiced by foremen Of foundries all
over the country, of making men pay
for their positions: It is asserted that
the foremen, not satisfied with receiv-
ing money for giving man place,
demand further payments from en-
ployes who wish more profitable piece
work. At the recent. convention of the
Federation Of Labor this question was
discussed and President Valentine Of

citation and his associates agreed to re-

SUPREME CONTEMPT
FOR LAW AND RULERS
STANDARD OIL co. IGNORES AND
DEFlES THE LAW.
1t Acts Advisably, Knowing Just What
Officials 1t Owns Or Can Purchase.
Great Corporation Controls the
Railroads and the Banks. 1t Elects
Law Makers and Executives,

Washington, D. c., Dec. 24.-The com-
missioner of corporations is authorized
by law to ask certain questions for the
information and protection of the ave1.
age citizen.
One corporation has come forward
with the prompt and emphatic refusal
to give any information.
This corporation announces that it
will ignore the commissioner, defy tho
law-and keep on defying it until it
shall have been forced through tine
United States supreme court.
Does anybody need to be told that
this corporation, which sets itself above
the law-making power of the United
States, is the Standard Oil Co.
This great Standard Oil corporation
claims and own the vast ocean OF
petroleum that beneficent nature has
stored away under the surface of this
country.
This great corporation controls the
railroads and the banks. 1t controls
endless national and municipal mo-
nopolies. When the most powerful men
in the land discuss it, they turn aside
into corners and whisper.
Inc otandafu Oll GO. carries into
commerce all the features of war,
minus certain International agreements
forbidding absolutely heartless prac-
tices. All practices are permissible un-
der the Standard Oil code.
In refusing to obey the law the
Standard Oil Co. did not indulge in
any guess work, or merely postpone a.
necessary evil. It is working intell-
gently with knowledge of the future.
1t knows what men in can control,
what others it can buy or intimidate
It would be quite interesting to watch
the Standard Oils attitude toward this
law and the application of the Standard
Oil motto:
THE law becomes a joke when it in
terferes with the Standard Oil.'

COLORADO SITUATION
HOPEFUL TO MITCHELL

Chicago, Dec. 24.-John Mitchell has
returned from Colorado and says: II
regard the situation there as hopeful"
he said. II believe settlement will be
reached, and I do not expect to have
to return there. Mother Jones and
some of the best organizers are on the
spot. The public mind, believe, is
somewhat confused concerning the
troubles in the silver mines in Colo
RADIO. Many think that the United Mine
Workers are concerned with them. Our
men are coal miners only, and have
had nothing to do with bringing about
martial law. We have: secured satis-
factory settlements in the: northern part

MINERS CONVENTION
IS EXCITING INTEREST

Indianapolis, Dec. 24.-The annual
convention in Indianapolis Of the Unit
ed Mine Workers of America this year
carries with it more significance than
any convention within the last five
years, not excepting even the assembly
that was followed by the declaration
of the great anthracite strike. If the
reports that are circulated at the head
quarters of the miners organization
in that city are to believed. the conven-
tion. and especially the joint confer
ence between operators and miners that
will follow it's adjournment, will wit
ness an important struggle. Upon the
deliberations of the joint conference
depends the wage scale for the year
1904. It is now asserted that the min
ers will carry to this joint conference
a demand for 10 per cent. increase,
together with a demand for several i'm
portant concessions that will have a
far-reaching effect throughout the
bitun1inous field. At the same time, it
is reasona BILE certain that the operat-
ors will carry to the joint conference
demand for a 20 per cent. reduction

TOO STRENUOUS UNioNlsTs.

Chicago is Inhabited by many who
are entirely too strenuous in the cause
of organized labor. One declines to pay
his fare to conductor because the con-
ductor does not wear a union label; an
other threatens a girl working in a
printing office because she chooses to
take the place of a stricken press feed
er; and still another "slugs'' non-un-
ion man for working below the scale
of prices set by the union. All these
things have occurred the past week,
much to the disgust of good union men
and women. The thought that these
strenuous people will know better when
they have grown older is the only con-
soling one. Members who have belon-
ged to labor organizations for decade
are not guilty of such acts.

New York, Dec. M.-Among the plans

pie. 1.-THE museum, if established, will
exhibit all forms of safety mining
lamps, materials for clothing suited to
different kinds Of work, inventions and

GREAT DEMONSTRATION
Los Angeles Examiner Welcomed by a
Parade, Music and Fireworks.

Los Angeles, Cal.: Dec, 24.-(Special
1.-The greatest demon
stration that ever occurred in Southern
California took place i'm Los Angeles
on Saturday night, Dec. IL, in honor Of
the publication of'fthe= first issue of
Hearts Examiner: Excursion trains
arrived from San Diego; ;Redlands.
Riverside, San Beriiardino.. Santa Ana.
Santa Barbara: San Pedro, Redondo,
Long Beach, Santa Monica and Pasad-
ena. Never before were there SO many
people On the streets to view parade,
in which there were more sthan 10000
union men. The line of march was
ablaze with red fire and tile heavens
were lighted with a >mag agnIficent dis
play Of fireworks. Every union band in
the city and several adjecent towns
quickened the step of. the marching
hosts. The great. demonstration was
in no sense political. affair. DEM
ocrats, Republicans. Socialists and
Union Labor party men matching side
yside, each gladly welcoming news
paper that will, without doubt. eylipse
the despicable Lon Angeles Times, and
drive it to the rear. With the coming
of the Examiner the troubles of Otis
began. Already he has had several
spasms, but, the more hi whines and
yelps the sweeter it is to the ears of
the union men and women of Southern
California, who have fought him for
years without the assistance of any
paper. Now that he has journalis-
tic hival in every sense superior to the
Times, instead of relinquishing their
warfare against the narrow and mall
ignant editor of the Times' the union-
lists will fight with renewed energy
The result is inevitable-history will
repeat itself-Otis will be- compelled 10
either ppy living wages, cease his
slandering the unions. or became a
bankrupt, as others of his ilk have be-
come. Persons not connected with
unions who once feared the Times
now are openly defiant; the coming of
the Examiner has injected a stiffening
in the backbone of citizens who thirty
days ago, could not be induced to join
hands with the unions in ridding the
community of a paper that is a pos
itiv curse upon peace a decency. Its
a long lane that has no turn Organ
lied labor has reached the turn. and
from now on the battle will be fast and
furious until the white flag is hoisted
upon the Times building:
Is there an anti-Los Angeles Times
Committee in the central labor body Of
Duluth? If not, see that one is ap-
pointed immediately, and that it en-
ters into correspondence with Arthur A.
