The President Stands Firm in the
Miller Case.

Samuel Gompers, president Of the
American federation of labor, John
Mitchell. head of the united mine work
ers' organization. and four or five other
members of the executive council of the
American federation of labor were in
conference with the President Tuesday
night with reference to the case of Fore
man Miller of the bookbindery of the
government printing office whose dis
charge is sought by the labor leaders.
After listening to fun statement of the
case the President announced that his
decision not to dismiss Miller was final.
He said:
" In dealing with this case I ask you
to remember that | am dealing purely
with the relation of the government to
| its empolyes. must govern my action
| by the laws of the land. which | am
sworn to administer and which differ
| entiate any case to which the govern
ment of the United States is a party
| from all other cases whatsoever. These
| laws are enacted for the benefit of the
| whole people, and can and must not be
| construed as permitting discrimination
! against some OF the people. | am presi-
dent of all the people of the United
| States, without regard to creed. color,
| birthplace. occupation or social condition.
as among them all In the employment
and dismissal of men in the government
| service / can no more recognize the fact
that a man does or does not belong to a
| union as being for or against him than
| | can recognize the fact that he is a Pro-
testant or a Catholic. a Jew or a Gentle.
In the communications sent me by vari-
| GUS labor organizations protesting against
the retention of Miller in the govern
ment printing office. the grounds alleged
are two-fold: THAT he is a non-union
| man. THAT he is not personally fit.
The question If his personal fitness is
one to be settled in the routine of admin
istratiVe detail. and cannot be allowed
to conflict with or to complicate the
larger question of governmental discrim-
ination for or against him or any other
man because he is or is not member OF
a union. This is the only question now
before me for decision; and as to this my
decision is final
In the beginning of this case Miller was
dismissed from the government service
on demand of the labor union men. be
cause he had been expelled from tn,
local book-bnders' union. When tn,
President learned the facts he directed
that Miller be reinstated in the govern
ment service. The labor leaders ther
took up the case and attempted to fore,
Miller's discharge, accompanying theil
action with threats, stated or implied
that the labor unions would put up al
organized fight against Mr.. Roosevelt il
next years campaign if he persisted il
Miler's retention. In standing by hi
} original position in this firm and decided
: way the President will have the country
strong endorsement. 1t was the onl!
course open to him, as IA matter eithe
of justice, of wisdom, or of good politics

An interesting feature of the production
of anthracite coal is the increase in the
recovery of disable fuel from the old and
out the coal region. Up to 1890 no attempt
had been made to recover and utilize this
fuel. In that year, however the washery
industry was started, and during the year
Il, 600 long tons of coal We're recovered
and marketed. That industry has stead
lily increased until. in 1891. the washery
product amounted to 2,567,335 long tons.
Many of the washeries as well as the
mines were closed down during the
strike, and the production of washery
coal fell off to 1859 1876 long tons. which,
however, was less in proportion than the
decrease in the mined product.
