More Coal Trouble.

Scores of miners are TO be evicted
from their homes at Morris Run, Pa.
These miners are on strike. The
homes they occupy are the property
OF the company. The company can
do as il pleases with its own. Moth
ing could be simpler.
However, when there is a strike
there always is a reason for II. Per
haps the reason is not good. but II
serves as a pretext. A rule which
does not have to be proved by any
exception is that when a controversy
arises between employer and en-
ployed. the justice of the matter does
not all rest on either side. When
the miners of Morris Run strike, the
public which consumes the coal for
which. chances are, it pays a fancy
price, feels an interest in the matter.
II appears that the miners object
to a reduction of II per cent in their
wages. Their right to object will
hardly be- questioned except by the
individuals into whose pockets it is
designed TO divert the II per cent.
The casual observer certainly has
noted nothing in the cost of living
that would justify a reduction OF
wages. The knowledge that the min
ers of Morris Run had been making
more money than good for them, and
that the coal trust, described by a
member as q combination of Christian
gentlemen, had not been making an
adequate profit, had failed 10 impress
itself upon the common understand
ing. Nor is it believed the purpose
of the trust in reducing wages is TO
enable il 10 sell coal at q cheaper
figure The feeling prevails that il
might 90 this IL it were in the mood
without ASKING its operatives to stand
the burden. The humOr of the trust
as displayed upon several occasions
has been TO elevate the price of coal
SO as 10 wipe out. so far as possible,
AllE uASNA Cllul4Ng bCAMNE4l int maj ACl
value of the products of carbon, and
place coal and diamonds upon the
same plane.
Instances have been known in
which a reduction of wages or their
cessation were the alternatives. Under
such circumstances the wise employe
has accepted the reduction in the
hope that 1t might be temporary. II
the trust is in a bad way financially
If il has been forced to charge 81
much for coal that it has become
ashamed OF itself. it's plea might b.
considered. If it merely desires to ac
centuate methods generally deemed
extOrtiOnate. by squeezing at botl
ends. there would be no patience with
the plea.
Meanwhile the cut of II per cent
stands. and the evicuons are expected
10 take place on schedule time.

BAD STORM IN NEW YORK.
Considerable Damage Done il Various
Parts of the Citv. III


New York, Aug. 2.-Considerable
damage was done in widely separated
parts of the city during an electrical
storm Monday. Both. fagstaffs on the
postofice building in Lower New York
were struck and a man on the top
floor OF the building was badly
shocked and burned about the arm.
A bolt struck the Third avenue
elevated structure near Fiftieth street,
ran along and set fire to the sleepers,
causing a lively pyrotechnic display.
The electricity then ran down one of
the pillars to the ground. Traffic was
blocked for some time while the fire.
men worked on the blaze.
During the thirty-five minutes the
storm continued nearly two inches of
water fell, flooding cellars and streets
on Manhattan island so that traffic
was seriously impeded.
During the storm the fagpole on
Tammany Hall was struck by light
ming and the big ball on top fell to
the street, but no one was injured,
