BIG STRIKE is THREATENED
SOFT COAL MINERS OF CoUN-
TRY MAY GO OUT.
Men to Demand Increase in Wages
Statement Given Out by
Union Official.

Danville, ILL.,, Oct. 20.-Industrial
troubles threatening the entire soft
coal industry OF the United States have
loomed up as the result of a statement
given out here that bituminous miners
of all the soft coal producing states
are formulating demands for a wage
increase. Mine workers in Illinois and
the other states involved are planning
to insist upon an increase amounting
to 5.55 per cent, to take effect when
the present working agreement expires,
April 1. The contract of the Pennsyl-
vania anthracite miners with the oper-
ators runs out at the same time.
William D. Ryan, secretary-treas-
urer of the Illinois Mine Workers, is
authority for the statement that a
wage advance will be required in the
soft coal belt of the central states.
He is representing the Illinois miners
at the convention of the state fedora
ton OF labor and in a statement is
sued here he declared that the follow
ing states would be affected if the
proposed demand is made: Illinois,
West Virginia, Iowa. Kentucky, Kan
sas, Missouri, Arkansas, Texas, Ten
nessee, Maryland, Michigan and Indian
territory.
AS yet the mine employees have not
voted upon the proposed demand nor
will it become positive until the con-
vention of their organization is held
next January. The sentiment in Hi.
nois mines, where $4,000 miners are
employed, is strongly in favor Of de-
manding the increase. The demand,
If granted, would restore in Illinois
the scale that existed before the cut
two years ago.

EMPEROR RONORS KOMURA
THANKS BARON FOR SERVICES
IN BEHALF OF PEACE.

Toxic, Oct. 17.-Baron Komura, the
foreign minister, who acted as chief
peace plenipotentiary for Japan, ar,
rived here Monday from Vancouver,
b. c., October 8. His reception at
the railroad station was not en-
thusiastic, those present being princi-
Epally government dignitaries. The
streets were strongly guarded by
troops, police and gendarmes. The
baron drove to the palace in an i'm
lperial carriage.
The emperor showed exceptional
honor to Komura by d%ispatching to
Yokohama, where he landed from the
Empress of India, Col. Inouye, his ma
jesty's aide-de-camp, who went along.
side the steamer in a dispatch boat,
and brought Komura ashore. Baron
!Komura landed at the imperial in
closure. While the baron was on
his way to Toxic by train, Col. Inouye
constantly kept at Komura's side, and
,on arrival here they drove together
ito the palace in an imperial carriage
sent from the households stables.
The emperor cordially received Baron
iKomura, and during the audience,
(which lasted over an hour, it is be-
lieved the baron made a full verbal
report to the emperor of the course
of the peace negotiations, emphasiz-
ing President R%oosevelt's efforts in be-
half of peace.
At the close of the audience the
emperor honored the baron with a
written personal message, highly
priced by Japanese statesmen. The
message expressed satisfaction at the
fact that peace was concluded, and
recommended Komura's able services
as shown during the negotiations.
M. Teraoutchi, minister of war, has
issued an order %instructing the Jap;
anese army in the field to abstain from
criticising the terms of peace, on the
ground that declarations of peace and
OF war are entirely the outcome of
sovereign power. His order forbids
the criticism of either subject, espe-
cially by those engaged in military
service. He advises the soldiers to
utilize the opportunities of peace aft
er the disarmament of their regiments
by engaging in their respective occu-
pations, always holding themselves in
readiness to join the colors at the en-
peror'S command.
