the question was SO vast that up to the
present no definite report has been
made by the commission. although it
was rumored in October. 1908. that a
measure had been drafted providing
for the distribution Of state lands TO
the peasants on easy terms
The administration of NJ Goremykin
as minister of the interior was not
marked by any Of the harshness which
had been so prevalent during the ad
mmistration of several of his predeces-
sors. aud his name has never been men
toned as one Of the likely victims of
the terrorists, who assaSsinatei two Of
his immediate predecessors.
During NJ Goremykin's admmistra-
ton of the interior department many
interesting events happened The first
one was the coronation of the present
emperor in May 1896 and the terrible
calamity Of the khodynskoye plain,
where 5000 people were Suifocated or
trampled To death. In 1897 several OPP
pressive laws We're relaxed. Among
other things. the Jews who had a uni.
versity education were allowed to live
in any part of the Russian empire
The first step IN NJ. Goremykin's pol

/ Possibly it is considered that even
without the blare Of imperial trumpets
and the glitter of pompous opening

STATEMENT
OF OPERATORS
Owners Anticipate Action o
Miners Convention.
HARD AGAINST SOFT COAL
Believed That President Mitchell
Played One Industry Against
The Other.

NEW YORK, May Anticipating
the convention Of miners, which open
ed at Scranton, Pa, today. the anthra-
cite coal operators have issued a state
ment outlining their view of the nego-
tiations in the anthracite field up to
date.
The object of the statement is ito
prevent Misunderstanding of the situa
ton which has led to the convention of
miners assembled az Scranton" 1t de-
clares that in the summer of 1905 the
leaders OF the United Mine Workers
found their organization rapidly dwin
ding. that, having obtained large
wage increase as result Of the arbi-
tratlon award Of the commission APP
pointed by President Roosevelt In
1902 the men apparently saw no rea
son 10 continue TO pay union dues. II
adds that on June last the total union
membership was SSSl0 out of some
10000 employees President Mitch
ellis tour OF the districts which, the
statement says, resulted in increasing
the union membership TO S0,4sI, is re-
viewed, and portions Of some OF The
miners leaders addresses are quoted.
Baked by the results of this cam
paign." the statement continues. and
dlsregarding the fact that the anthra-
cite commission had settled the funda-
mental principles which should govern
the relations between the operators
and their employees the miners rep
resentatiyes came forward on March
with an extraordinary list Of new de
mands The operators took the osi-
ton which they have consistently
maintained, that on all questions which
had been definitely settled by the coal
commission It's findings should he con
tinued."
Then, the statement declares, there
began the playing OF one industry
against another Mr. Mitchell Went to
indianapolis and with the suggestion
that strike might be called in the an
thraoite fields demanded a large wage
increase from the bmminous opera
tors.
The statement concludes: Failing
with the bituminous operators, Mr.
Mitchell now made a further effort ia
obtain his wants from the anthracite
operators. His last demand was for .
limited wage increase This is precise
~ the question which the operators
proposed to arbltrate But the fear
that fair arbitration might not repay
the men the union dues. which they
were so urgently impressed TO pay IN
order to get more, apparently prevents
arbitration.
"The situation now before the people
is a most serious one Every claim OF
the miners was duly considered 10y the
coal commission appointed 10y Presi
dent Roosevelt That commission was
universally recognized MS able and i'm
partial. President Roosevelt in ap
pointing its members specifically in
structed them to endeayor to establish
the relations between the employers
and the wage workers in the anthra
cite fields on q just and permanent
basis"
