BIG STRIKE CLOUD HOVERS
OVER ANTHRACITE REGION

miners representatives said the decis-
in was final, could not be reconsidered
and refused to vote. Thereupon the
operators said the meeting was over
and departed. Later one of them
stated it looked very much as if the
operators would withdraw from the
board.
In the meantime the miners officers
have decided to wait few days to
see if the operators do not change
their minds and again resume concil-
iatory relations If they do not. then
the miners will act and the strikes
are expected.
The miners say they have observed
each award and decision of the UNI
pire, despite the fact that the majority
have not been in their favor, and,
now that a decision is made against
the operators. they must make the
best of it. Unless the operators are
determined to violate their agree
ment, they, too, must observe IT,
claim the miners.

WHY JAP SOLDIERS
KILL THEMSELVES

A vast amount CO misconception
"hara-kiri
This word is never used by any
other than illiterate persons in Japan
Among the educated classes the term
employed is ''seppuku." "Seppuku, -
in ancient times. was an honorable
death, but it was only resorted to in
extreme circumstances. AS the jap
anese proverb puts it, Life is diff
cult, death is easy" For any person
to commit suicide merely as a way
is still, a cowardly act.
The cause of so many soldiers and
sailorS-take the case of the Kin
Shiu-M aru as an eXample-prefer-
ring death to capture, was something
widely different from that which has
been assigned. The people of Japan
at large, soldiers and sailors included,
had heard so much of the Russian
atrocities at Blagovestchensk, of the
Russian treatment of the Chinese at
of General Mitchenko's famous utter
ance that the Russians had mo
ropes, but arms" significant of the
short shrift that would be given to
captives, that the prospect of falling
alive into Russian hands came in
reality to be regarded as far worse
than death.
1t was the firm belief that barbar-
Gus treatment would be melted out to
them that led so many, despite the
injunction conveyed in the proverb,
to shoot or stab themselves when
capture was Inevitable.
Cases of ''seppuku," as a matter
of fact. were extremely rare, and
cases of ordinary suicide, though
more frequent, were the expression of
a widespread conviction that only in
this way could an ignominious ex-
istence be avoided.

WILKESBARRE, Pa, Aug. 3.-The
anthracite mine workers now face the
most serious crisis since the big strike
of 1902. In few days there may be
declared a strike of about &c, 900 work
ers in the Lackawanna and, Wyoming
districts, followed by strike at va
rious colileries throughout the region
where the mine workers have griev-
ances. =
The anthracite Cancellation board,
which met here Tuesday, adjourned
after serious disagreement. No ar.
rangements have been made for an
other meeting. The operators have
practically withdrawn from the board,
and may formally do so, while the
mine workers. maintaining their posi-
ton, will enforce the fifth award of
the anthracite strike commission,
about which the dispute has arisen. by
ordering strikes at every colliery
where it is not observed. This will be
done as last resort, and the executive
committee has already been given the
power to order these strikes without
further delay.
The fifth award OF the commission
was designed to remove the long stand
ing grievance of the miners about ex-
cessive docking and the improper
weighing of coal. This work was done
by men employed by the companies,
and the miners declare these men, to
retain their places, had to be so par
tial to the companies that the miners
for years lost much.
The commission decided that where
a majority of the miners at any coll
iery believed they were not getting
fair treatment in this particular they
could, by majority request. insist
upon the employment of a check-dock-
ing and check weighing boss to look
after their interests, these bosses to
be paid by the miners.
Although it is ID months since this
award became effective it is enforced
at comparatively few collieres, the
operators having endeavored by delays
disputes and other methods to hamper
the miners in requesting the employ
ment of these bosses. They first dis
puted about the correct interpreta-
ton of the award. The Cancellation
board acted upon it, the vote was a
tie and the matter was then referred
to Umpire Carroll ID. Wright. HIS
decision favored the miners. Later he
made another decision, and followed
it by an opinion expressed in letter
to District President L. ID. Nichols,
of the United Mine Workers of
America.
The substance of these decisions and
the opinion was that at any colllery
where a majority of the men demanded
these bosses they should be appointed;
that the companies should deduct
proportonate share from the wages
of all the miners to pay them; that
the companies could, if desired, request
an assignment by each miner of this
portion of his kages, and that refusal
to make such an assignment was sufil-
Gent cause for discharge.
The operators now object to all the
men being required to pay these bosses
claiming that some non-union men
were not parties to the award. They
also object to the discharge clause
and Wright's opinion. These 4aIect-
ions led the Scranton Coal company.
which has conducted the fight against
tn e award, to request that the de
cision he reconsidered.
1t was at this point that the, con-
citation board split. The operators
voted to reconsider the decision. the

PLAGUE OF FLIES
0VERWnELMS TOWN

SILVER CREEK, N. Y, Aug. g.
With huge flies lying four inches deep
in the streets and a stencil like that
arising from dead fish, this village
faces a very peculiar problem. A
few days ago these insects began to
appear and from their size and
strange form began to attract atten-
ton Very little was thought of
them until they became SO numerous
that householders began to suffer.
They covered carpets, perched on pie
lures and ruined oil paintings. 1t
became necessary to cover everything
of value in the houses and the citi-
zens have been fighting the flies ever
since.
The insects are short lived, "a
hours being the duration of their
time on earth. Now they are dying
by the millions and the citizens are
sweeping them from the sidewalks
as they would sweep the snow in
winter. Meanwhile the stencil has
become unbearabfe. and the people
are at loss to know how to get rid
of the pest.
The flies are harmless save the
ruin they wreak on pictures and other
property. No one seems to know
anything of their species. 1t was
thought that they resembled sand
flies, but it is now said that they
differ in many respects. Instead of
diminishing in number they are in
creasing daily and other towns are
becoming afflicted with the pests.

FIRST pow WOW
CELEBRATED

OMAHA, Neb.. Aug. 3-Under the
auspices of the local and state his
torical societies, suitable exercises
were held today in celebration Of the
one hundredth anniversary of the
first conference with Indians ever
held west of the Missouri river. The
council was held August and 4.
1904, at old Fort Calhoun. 16 miles
north of this city. Colonel Meri-
weather Lewis and General George
Clark of the Lewis and Clark expedi-
ton there met the Indians, and the
powwow which ensued furnished the
name for Council Bluffs, just across
the Missouri river. which has now
grown into a city of $4,000 people.

DEMOCRACY
IN MICHIGAN

Michigan democrats are holding their
state convention here today. The
Bryan element insists that only a
regular" democrat, one who support
ed the national ticket in 1895 and
1900. should head the state ticket.
The conservative wing of the party
is in control and the demands of the
Bryan men are likely to receive but
scant consideration. Edwin F. Sweet.
mayor of Grand Rapids: Justus s.
Stearns of Ludington and George d.
Jackson of Bay City are among those
whose names are mentioned in con-
nection with the gubernatorial nomi-
