OPERATORS WILL FIG III FAflUNl0N
May Declare Grca'es, Lock Cut In History
on April Ist

On April /, 1906, every coal
mine in Pennsylvania, Ohio,
Indiana, Illinois, West Virginia
and part # Kentucky will close
down for an indefinite period, if
present plans do not miscarrv.
a meeting OF the coal operators
Of all these states has been called
to take place November 22nd at
Chicago, when plans will be com.
pleted for tie greatest lockout in
the history of the world. This ar
rangemcnt is intended to crush the
United Mine Wo: kers of America
as all organization, and at the same
tim. force uP the price Of coal to
the consumer.
Herman Justi, commissioner of
the Illinois Coal Operators Asso-
citation sent out tie call for the Chi
cago conference. This will be the
first time the anthracite coal opera.
tors will have entered into an agree
ment with the bituminous opera
tors. The object OF their ming
i'll the conference is to curb the
growth Of unionism in the eastern
coal mines.
There exists among the Western
Pennsylvania. Indiana, Ohio and
Illinois coal operators an agree.
ment known as the interstate agree
meat, whereby the operators annu.
ally meet the United Mine Workers
OF the various districts and settle on
mining rate for the year. The
anthracite coal operators are TN.
willing to deal with the miners
union, and have about 10000
miners employed in Eastern Penn
sylvania under individual contracts.
AlIthe wage scales in these states
expire April /; ii, fact, nearly all
the mining scales of the country
expire OIL that date. II is TO meet
this crisis that the meeting has been
called in Chicago next November.
The miners are getting better wages
than ever i'll the history of the in
dust, y, taking working facilities
into consideration. The interstate
price is based on IS cents per ton
for soft coal mined and run over an
inch and 'one-quarter screen. Some
Of the Western coal operators want
this reduced to 70 cents a ton, and
the miners will meet with this pro.
posaI III January at the wage con-
ference. The eastern operators will
not be represented at this January
gathering. 1t is believed that the
miners representatives will refuse
to accent the reduction, and the
mines will b. closed down until one
side or the ether is starved out.
AS result. the anthracite opera
tors have begun piling up coal, and
will fill their docks at both ends of
the lakes, and will load every boat,
barge and scow obtainable with
coal between now and April /. The
operators have reached an under
standing whereby no contracts are
to be accepted for coal between now
and April for delivery after

the State, an efhgy ofQuay shaking
the plum tree would be the next
most appropriate conception. There
is a good deal of reason i'll both
propositions. The first suggestion
has the greater merit as most nearly
expire ;sing the practices of Quay.
But it would be trihe tough on
Father Penn, who wash altogether
an idot and consequently would't
likely tolerate such a performance
continuously. Therefore the second
proposition would better be adopt
ed.
But after all, as we have frequent
ly observed, there isn't so much
difference between QUAY and his
associates in the Pennsylvania ma
chine, and those who have succeed
ed him in control. Quay was bad
enough. His life was a long con-
tinued career of political crime and
organized fraud. For nearly fifty
years he had been Systematically
plundering the public and in def.
ance of the laws Of God and man
built up a vast fortune for the sur
vivors Of his family. But his death
didn't end the iniquity. His drop
ping out didn' che k the redatory
operations OF the machine. The
system which he practised is the
rightful object of public reprehen-
sion and no matter what form the
monument takes it will be an insult
to the integrity and an outrage upon
the conscience of the people of
Pennsylvania. The way to prevent
the outrage is to defeat the candi-
date oil the party. BeIItonh Wateh-'
man.

CAUGHT IN THE GEAR.
Two Young Women Tied Up By Their
 Bicycle Chains.

New Haven, Aug 16.--Near the cor ner of Church and Meadow streets q young lady got her dress wound up ill the chain of her bicycle Monday after noon, and another lady met with q similar accident only few hours be- fore. In both cases neither was ln- jured. but it took quite a few minutes for them to get released and again started on their journey.
 The accident of Monday attracted quite a crowd. The young woman wore a thick woolen bicycle skirt and the lower portion was wound several times around the gear. She was inn prisoned for time. for it was impos- sble for her to move her limbs.
 A couple of men assisted in freeing the woman. One turned the gear back while the other tugged away to free the dress. The woman offered suggestions of how to release her dress and tugged away at times her self. but without effect. Finally those assisting got her skirt free and the young woman was much pleased. The skirt was held with such a viselike grip that it seemed at one time as if it would he necessary to cut the cloth away to release it.

Breaks Machine Avoiding a Collision,
 But He Escapes Injury.
 Madrid. Aug 16.-King Alfonso was in an automobile accident yesterday while returning to San Sebastian from Portugal. Versions of the affair differ, but the King was apparently unhurt
 The most reliable account says that his majesty was steering when he met another motor car on winding road near Usurbil, skirting the river Orio. The king was obliged, in order to avoid a collision. to steer sharply to the right. The sudden movement caused two tires to burst. Nobody was hurt, but the car was put out of busi- ness.
 The king entered the following car and continued his journey to Miramar. where he attended services in the par ish church.
 Another story says that the king was speeding his car when it collided with another automobile driven by the Mar quis of Urquijo. His majesty was thrown into the road, but was picked up uninjured.

Before the game was started 1t was

that the Tuesday game should SO but

AtEthe end Of that inning the score

umpire caught the manager on his
way to- the hotel and informed him
that unless he returned and finished
the contest he would forfeit; the game

would not get the guarantee promised.
After a little argument Cassel took
his team back to the field but the
home team had left the field and re-:

with President Slack over the long
distance phone last night Cassel told
him that he was trying to arrange
things without any trouble and that
