MINERS STRIKE NOTES.

The big strike of 509,5O0 miners has
gone into effect. Only those will re-
turn whose employers grant the 1903
wage scale.
The extent OF the coal strike In the
bituminous fields was reduced by more
than half through the action of the
miners convention in Indianapolis,
which decided that the miners shall be
allowed to work for operators who are
willing to grant the demands of the
men.
President Roosevelt decided not to
grant the request OF bituminous coal
operators Tor the appointment of a
commission to inquire into conditions
In Ohio, Indiana and Illinois, and will
take no action until the prosperity Of
the country is at stake.
The strike of miners in both the
anthracite and bituminous fields of
the country is virtually complete. OPP.
orators of the western Pennsylvania
district, with few exceptions, have
granted the miners demands. En-
lployers in other bituminous fields re-
fuse to yield.

MUNICIPAL OWNERSHIP IS FA-

CITY Is OPPOSED.
MAJORITY ARE AGAINST
FRANCHISE EXTENSION

State of Wisconsin,

Chicago, April Chicago is OPP
posed to municipal operation of street
railways, but favors the issuance of
Mueller law certificates. She also de-
clares. under the public policy act, for
speedy acquisition of the traction
properties and again raises her voice
against franchise extension. This is
the net result of Tuesdays election so
far as the traction question is con-
cerned. The vote for municipal opera
ton was 120,911; against, 11O,26O. AS
the Mueller law requires that the prop
osition that the city shall operate
street railways shall be approved by
not less than 60 per cent. of those vot-
ing on the question, the proposed mu-
nicipal operation of street railways in
Chicago was rejected by this vote,
which lacked 1891 votes of the requi-
site 60 per cent.
But. by majority Of 1889 the peo-
pie decided that the city may CON
struct, acquire, purchase, own and
maintain street railways" In the Ian
guage of the ordinance which was SUBJ
mitted to the citizens for action The
issue of $75,0OO,OO0 of street car GER
, tificates as authorized under the Muel-
Ter law was approved by the vote,
which Endorsed the municipal owner
ship ordinance passed by the city
council on January 10 last.

mitted to the people, which was:
"Shall the city council proceed with
out delay to secure municipal owner
ship Of all street railways in Chicago
under the Mueller law. instead Of
passing the pending franchise ordi-
nances Or any other ordinances grant
Ing franchises to private companies?"
the vote was 1852 for to 108,025
against, majority of 1887 for the
proposition. AS this latter was only
for the purpose of securing an express
sion of public sentiment, It has no
legal force and it's effect Is only what
ever moral obligation 1t may be con-
sidered as carrying to the city council.

when to Judge.

McClure's Magazine for Feb
ruary contains a thoughtful edi-
torial on the exercise of Judge
ment between men, Judge not
is the title and it shows how this
maxim may be misapplied If
the individual citizen does not
judge, the condemning voice of
the court of law means little to
the criminal. Each man should
clearly express himself on all
questions of politics, business
and law; and in this way help to
replace crime and corruption by
honesty and Justice.
