MINERS UNION A MILLIONAIRE.
MitcheIl's Organization Controls Des-
tiny of More Than Million People.

Observers of labor union develop
ment are noting, as a result of the re-
cent wage conference at Indianapolis,
that at last the millionaire trade union
has appeared. 1t has Just closed it's
first deal as a millionaire labor con-
tractor, to man the bituminous coal
mines of the country for one year at an
advance of $50,000,000 in wages over
the last year, The increase took eff
feet April /. In round numbers, 264,-
900 workers-not all of them members
of the organization-share in the in
crease, says E. l. Lewis, in Golfers
Weekly.
The organization that has obtained
such a settlement from the centralized
bituminous coal interests of the coun-
try is the United Mine Workers of
America-the John Mitchell organiza-
tion--the first American labor union
to become millionaire in it's treas
ury fund, and lay plans to become a
multi-millionaire. 1t not only con-
tracts for 264,OO0 men in the bitumi.
nous mines, but it Yields the destiny
of 100000 human beings in and around
the mines of the country, and of
| 1 100000 more human beings in the
miners homes.
| The $4,000, 900 increase is based on
the settlement reached in 1.-THE Indian
apolis conference" which began Janu.
airy 30 and ended in the bituminous
operators of the Pittsburg district,
Ohio, Indiana and Illinois signing a
scale providing for increase in wages
that averages 1914 per cent.
The men who had in their hands this
supply of vitality, realized that fail
ure to reach an agreement meant a
strike April / that would shut down at
least all of the largest bituminous coal
mines of the country They knew that
if these bituminous mines were clos
ed, the industrial world, which was
down to the daily production of the
mines, would come to a complete
standstill within four weeks at the
longest; that millions of people would
Ibe affected. national calamity would
be imminent, and that the people would
forever crush the party held response,
bile for the paralysis by quickly formed
public sentiment,

MERGER is PROPOSED.
Prospect of st. Louis & San Francisco
Uniting With the Rock Island.

The proposed merger OF the st.
Louis 81 San Francisco with the Rock
Island will put the latter road in a po-
sition to make other lines hustle ac-
cording to statement given out by a
former director of the former road
Many Otumwans are interested in
the movements of the Rock Island and
the statement of the official giving a
summary of the situation will receive
no less attention
1.-THE merging of the Rock Island and
Frisco will make a remarkably strong
combination and give the Rock Island a
strong grasp upon the entire southwest
railroad situation. The Rock Island and
Frisco combined can show much larger net
earnings than would be the case under
separate competition. both roads being in
the same territory in a large section of
the southwest.
This merger will also obviatc the neces-
sity of Rock Island extending its lines
throughout the southwest as was in con-
temptation, and when the Frisco line at
New Orleans is completed the Rock Is
land will be power such as it would
never have been as an independent line.
1t will have water level line from st
Louis to New Orleans following the Mis-
sissippi river, and with two short lines
between Chicago and st. I.ouis--tbe orig
inal Rock Island and the Chicago x East
ern Illinois--t will make several of the
old established lines hustle for business.
''The Rock Island has no floating debt,
and neither will the Frisco when it is alb
sorbed, President Yoakum having provid-
ed for the refunding of its debt through
the sale of A per cent bonds in the Frisco
treasury.
"The Rock Island is today one of the
best equipped roads in the west. Its main
| line roadbed is kept in most excellent con
dition. Throughout the railroad career of
the Mores they have shown rare tact and
| Judgment as in the management of the
various industrial undertakings in which
they were formerly chiefly identified
Through this merger the Moores will gain
strong allies in the st. Louis Union Trust
people of the Chicago"

WANT EASTERN MAN.
Iowa City Students Do Not Want
Alumnus to Succeed knipe.

Iowa City, April 1O.--Dr. A. A.
Knipe's successor as director of phys
ical training at the University of Iowa
will probably be an eastern man. This
is the sentiment of the alumni and
students of the university as recently
ascertained, Those close to the ath-
letic situation at Iowa had supposed,
until recently. that an alumnus coach
was desired, but recently the demand
on the part OF four-fifths of the alum
nj and students has been for an east
ern man. The committee of the board
of athletic control having the matter
in charge has therefore recomme nded
that an eastern man be selected.

ors, realizing that demands of the min
ers for advances in keeping with the
cost of living, would arouse public
sentiment, which was already set
against the operators, offered an adj
vance of 10 per cent
The miners demanded 25 per cent
and threatened to appeal to the public
with strike. and lay before the people,
who had paid double prices for coal,
the alleged enormuos profits that had
been realized by operators taking adj
vantage of the coal shortage.
A tidal wave threatened; by slow de-
grees the operators advanced conces-
sions to 16R per cent.
THAT is alive can go before the
people if you turn down a 161a per
cent ADVANCE" was their ultimatum,
and they stood firm.
Mitchell realized that public senti-
ment is as shifting sand. He was not
disposed, TO risk losing it's sympathy,
which, notwithstanding its million
treasury and army of workers,
was the miners greatest asset. He
said he would report the offer back to
the seven hundred delegates.
In long session of the miners, be-
hind guarded doors, heated protests
were made against acceptance Mitch
ell laid before the protesting delegates
what refusal meant. He pointed
out that the public would not stop to
consider technical objections; that in
a strike of paralytic effect, it would
frame its decision and pledge support
on the basis Of 161s per cent. At the
end of three hours Mitchell's counsel
prevailed.
The public had been an effective ar
bitrator. A S50,000,0O0 increase scale
was signed.
