INCREASE OUTPUT Of COAL
PRESIDENT MITCHELL URGES

Philadelphia, Jan. 14.-President
Mitchell of the United Mineworkers

circular letter to all local unions In
the anthracite districts:
philadelphia, Jan. Ito the Of
ficers and Members Of the Local I'm
ions Of the u. NJ. w. Of A., in the An
thracite Region-Gentlemen: You are
no doubt aware that a serious coal
famine exists in all the eastern ami
seaboard cities during the present
shortage Of anthracite coal supply.
The situation has reached an acute
stage and has resulted in great suf-
fering and hardship to the poor of the
cities, whose earnings are insufficient
to enable them to pay the excessive
prices now being charged for fuel and
it is subjecting the general public to
great inconvenience.
ITO relieve the situation and allie
viate as far as possible the suffering
now being endured is the duty of every
one connected with the production OF
coal. With this end in view we are
prompted to request that you cooper
ate with the management of the mines
in an effort to increase the produc-
ton of coal. The gravity of the sit
uation is such as to require that ev-
cry mineworker shall exert himself
and use every means at his command
TO this end.
upon reading this communication
in the columns of the daily papers 10
cal unions should hold meetings and
devise means whereby the daily out
put of the mines may be increased.
The efforts should be continued until
the weather moderates and the great
necessity for fuel shall have passed

GOVERNOR TAFT WILL REMAIN
DECIDES TO STAY IN PHILIPPINE
ISLANDS.
Had Been Offered Position as Justice
Of Supreme Court Of the United
States-Prominen Filipinos Cabled
to President Roosevelt Their Pro-
tests.

Washington-After mature consid
Grafton il has been decided by this
president that Governor Taft shall re
mair in the Philippines as civil gov
ernor. The decision was reached only
after the president had discussed thy
Philippine question thoroughly witt
Secretary Root and the other mem
bers of his cabinet and with Vice Gov
eruor Luke f. Wright, who has beef
in this country for two months.
For several weeks it has been re
garded as settled that Governor Taf
would return to this country, perhaps
in a few months, to become a justice
of the supreme court of the United
States. President Roosevelt indicated
to Governor Taft, in a letter dispatch
ed to the Philippines more than q
month ago, that he could have the an
pointment to the supreme bench if M
desired il. 1t was the presidents pur
pose to name General Wright as civil
governor of the Philippines.
AS soon as it was learned in the
Philippines that Governor Taft wa.
likely to leave the islands, cabled pro
tests began to pour in upon the presi
dent from prominent Filipinos. Tn.
protests received in no manner re
hected on Vice Governor Wright, foI
whom the people of Manila and of tho
islands generally have the highest re
gard, but it was pointed out to the
president that Governor Taft was
ideally equipped for the position OF
governor and that any change at thia
time would be disastrous to the best
interests of the archipelago. 1t was
maintained that Governor Tafts re
linquishment of his post would retard
the development of the islands fully
five years.
Governor Taft is known, as one high
official expressed it, ito be thoroughly
wrapped up in his work in the Philip
pines"
His ambition has been to round out
his career as a justice of the supreme
court of the United States, but he has
per fectly in sympathy with the ideals
become imbued so entirely with the
spirit of the great work to be accom-
plished in the Philippines and is so
of the best classes of the inhabitants
that he hesitated to relinquish his post
at this time, even to accept the dis
tinguished honor the president offered
to confer upon him.
In response TO the presidents letter
Offering him the supreme justiceship,
a cahlaoram ,sse-s soaoi. Cd from him
suggesting, with a sincere apprecia-
ton of the tender made to him by
the president, that it might be better
for him in view of all the circum-
stances, to remain where he was.
After this it was announced unof-
ficially, but entirely authoritatively,
that Governor Taft would remain in
definitely as civil governor of the Phil
ippines.
