OPERATORS MEET DEMANDS.
Danger Of Coal Strike in Indian Ter
ritorY Mines Has Been Settled

South McAlester, 1. T.. Feb. 26.-The ac-
ton taken by the meeting of Indian Ter
ritory and Arkansas coal operators at
the St. Louis conference has been re-
ceived with general qualification by the
coal miners ard the public at large and
especially by the railroads. who are the
largest consumers of coal and who have
been very much alarmed fearing thai
the demand OF the miners for increased
wages might result in 4 strike such
this territory experienced four years ago.
The advances which the operators de-
termined to grant their employees are 20
take effect by the first Of March. The
mining wage is TO be increased from 60
cents per ton for run of mine (Which m
cludes lump. egg. nut. pea and slack as
il comes from the fnine). to o. cents per
ton; and wages of day labOrers or COM
pany men are to remain the same q ! be-
fore. but they viii work hereafter eight
hours per day instead Of ten. amounting
to a - per cent advance for the time
they serve. In addition to these ad-
vances, the operators will hereafter pay
their men twice month instead Of once.
as heretofore.
This action will. IL is thought. result in
bringing into the Indian Territory many
miners from the eastern coal fields. whore
labor Is not nearly so well paid as IN the
Indian Territory and where the mines are
idle during a considerable portion Of the
year instead OK running steadily as in
this section. With increa sed supply OF
labor. the output OF Indian Territory
coal can be increased. which will be a
bene.lt to all business interests IN this
section.
The operators granting the advance
state that the changes outlined above
will result in sn increase OF between 10
and Is cents per ton of mine run coal.
This considerable increase in the cost %
production viii work great hardship On
such OF the companies as have uaex-
pired contracts with railroads who. on
account ii being the largest consumers
at all times buy their coal at very
slight margins above cost of production

FIVE-STORY STRUCTURE.
Big Building to Be Erected in Okla
homa City.

Oklahoma City, o. T., Feb. 26-Ever
since the burning of the Lion store build
| ing on the northeast corner of Main and
| Robinson streets, there have been many
rumors current relative to the erection of
a y-scraper' building on the site,
which is regarded as one OF the best loca-
| tions in the city.
The owner of the property, Henry VIII,
was expected to erect new building and
at one time said he contemplated putting
Up a five or SiX-story building that would
be Il credit to the city, and has later de-
clared he viii yet do so if he does not
sell the property at the valuation he has
placed upon IT, which is $4,000 for the
two lots, making the property in dimen-
sions 50xl40 feet.
For several days Mr. VIII has been
receiving offers for the property and it
Is expected that a deal for its sale will
be closed today.
l.. OverhOlser is at the head of syndi-
cate of local capitalists that has been
bidding on the property. but it is said Dr.
r. H. Wnkin and another capitalist who
is keeping his name under the rose have
bid close to the figure which is being
asked by Mr.. VIII and they viii probably
get the property
In either case whether the propertv is
retained by Mr.. VIII or purchased by Dr.
Wilkin and his silent partner. five
story building will be erected on the site.
as all parties are agreed that a smaller
building would not be at all proportionate
to the value of the property and would
not pay sufficient return for the invest
ment.
A five-story business and office building
on this site, which is considered the heart
of the busines sdistrict, would not lack
for tenants.

THE LIBRARY BUILDING
SNAGS IN THE WAY
A Member of the Woman's Clubs Tells
of the Obstacles to Be
Overcome.
Editor Statesman:

Editor Statesman:
In several of your late issues you
have referred to the work of the Wo-
mans Reading Club in connection with
4 public library building. and as an
interested member of the club, l wish
to say a few words in explanation of
the situation. The club began it's work
not long before the soliciting commit
tee began to run against snags-snags
Of many varieties. There were snags
in the shape of bankers and merchants
who had no use for public libraries, or
else frankly state that they have
books enough of their own"
Then there were political snags.
The Woman's Club did not know it
was lin politics." Or had any politics
Chat, by the way. has always been
club) but before getting very far, the
committee ran full tilt against such
problems as this: Why we can't do
anything for you, if we did and the
Boxers ever get into power. they'll cut
off the library tax before you can
wink" In the words of the immortal
Ezra, Now what do you think of
that?" But realizing that this was not
IN impossible condition of affairs, the
committee could only retreat in dis
may.
Then there is the citizen who is will
ing to do something for the library
fund, if Smith and Brown will do
something but he wants Smith and
Browns signatures to go on the list
before his does-"Come to me later
on" says he and meantime the list
does not grow and the committee does
grow disheartened.
Lastly there is the Stubblefield home
which has also been a snag in the
way of the library work, for many of
the business men want to see J!st
" hat will be done with that PROPOSE
lion. before promising anything for
the library
AS the Statesman has kindly said
the Womans Club has always been
interested in the public library, and
vas the means of the re-Opening of
the old library in 1896, as a free public
library. So when the Commercial
Club first talked of appointing a COM
nittee to investigate the Carnegie Ii
orary proposition, the Woman's Club
asked for a chance first to see what
could be done here at home.
In spite of all these unfavorable con-
ditions and also the almost unanimous
-entiment existing among business
men, in favor of the Carnegie library,
the committee has about $25OO posi-
lively promised, and more conditionally
md the site for the building arranged
for, provided the building funds can be
raised.
This is the situation as it stands.
It's up to the people" to say whether
we shall have our own library build
ing or not What are you going to do
about it? Another Club Woman.

CACA6O STRIKE
STILL UNSETTLED
STREET Cars Are Run Under Protection
OF Police-Power May Be
Shut Of.

CHICAGO, Nov. 13-Five trains of
street cars with Is policemen, each
train followed by patrol wagons, load
ed With officers and riot guns left the
Wentworth avenue barns this morn
ing. Policemen were stationed along
the tracks to hold the crowds back.
The crowd was content with jeertng
and made no attempts at violence.
At 1890 another string of street
cars heavily guarded started, the po-
lice the meantime dispensing all
crows enroute including those in the
down town districts.
At noon. the stationary firemen's
union called a meeting for this eve
ming. They make no secret of their
desire to strike in sympathy with the
carmel and it is probable that the car
compalies will be without power be-
fore tomorrow morning. The labor un-
ions re also trying to cripple the
street ar company in other directions.
Steps we're taken today to make the
firemen protest before the transporta-
ton committee of the city council
against the renewal of the Chicago
City Railway COmpany's franchise.
The cars ran through the hard sec
ton Of the city on Thirty ninth and
Twenty fourth streets under an extra
guard A hundred and fifty policemen
have been on duty there since daylight.
There was an immense mob but they
feared the determined front of the
blue coats. Down town two teamSters
started to blockade the track but We're
promptly arrested. The police were
within a loop in almost solid line on
each side of the tracks. Business was
| suspended and the noise was terrific,
but there was no violence. Any one
attempting 10 break through the line
was promptly dubbed. In addition to
the 500 policenent guarding the tracks
big squads ,are held in reserve. The
cars successfully made the round trip.
The trains made a second trip with
out accident
