Trondhjem, June 21.-In anticipa
ton of the browning of King llaakon
and his consort tomorrow, Norway
ancient capital presents an appear.
ance of animation which is in striking
contrast to the quiet that usually per.
Vades the place. That the inhabitants
are all agog in anticipation of the
great event is not at all surprising
when it is remembered that more
than thirty years have elapsed since
the placidity of the old town has been
disturbed by coronation, while the
pages of history must be turned back
to a date many times more remote to
find when the last of Norway's own
kings was crowned.
Since their arrival here King
Haakon and Queen Maud have re-
manned in more or less seclusion at
Stiftsgarden. The most of their time
has been spent in consultation with
the court officials and others regard
ing the final arrangements for the cor
onation. When their majesties have
appeared on the streets they have
mingled freely with the townspeople,
and as a consequence nothing but
words of praise are to be heard on
all sides for the new king and queen
and for the charming little Prince
Olaf.
Their majesties have exchanged
visits with the town officials and have
also received the foreign princes and
ambassadors, all of whom are now
here for the coronation. In addition
to the official populations representing
the countries of the world, and which
in themselves make up a goodly num-
Der of persons, the city has filled with
many visitors who have come merely
to get glimpse of the coronation GER
emonies. Included among the arrivals |
are many American tourists The au-
thorities are taking the greatest pre-
cautions to guard against any anar-
chistic outrage, which the red inter
national" might be tempted to perpe-
trate on account of the many royalties
now gathered here In this work the
local authorities have the assistance
of secret police who have been sent
here by Germany, England, Denmark
and other countries.

attire for the coronation procession,

Say They Had No Intention Of Re-
ducing Wages Of Miners.
They QUOTE PRESIDENT MITCHELL
CLAIM THAT MlTCHELL'S AGITA-
TON RESULTED IN SIX
WEEKS IDLENESS.

NEW YORK, May 1.-THE following
statement has been authorized on be-
half of the anthracite coal operators:
In addressing the miners conven-
ton at Scranton Tuesday, May s.,
President Mitchell is reported to have
made this statement:
Last summer 1 made a tour through
this region. I urged the mineworkers
to come back into the organization. At
that time there were only $4,000 men,
bers At the close of that tour there
were $4,000 members in the organiza-
ton. Had that tour not been made
there would have been a reduction in
wages, according to reliable informa-
ton that 1 have in my possession. My
information is that the railroads were
ready to increase the working day from
nine hours to ten hours, to require the
engineers to work seven days in the
week, and to require firemen to work
II hours instead of eight. If this is
true, then we have won victory
No Misunderstanding.
It is important that there should be
no misunderstanding on this point. The
fact is that none of the operators had
the slightest intention of reducing
wages or Of increasing the length of
the working day. On the contrary, if
the men had been left at work and if
the agitation of which Mr.. Mitchell so
proudly boasts had not taken place,
the men would not have been idle for
six weeks, much lawlessness would not
have occurred, and the public would
not have been disturbed by this wholly
unnecessary controversy.
1t is doubly unfortunate, also that
the convention should have condemned
the state constabulary, for a cursory
examination of facts will show that
most carefully and moderately. Not a
shot was fired or a stroke welded
except to protect life or property which
had been wantonly attacked. This
brave corps of men-organized upon
the specific recommendation of Presi-
dent ROosevelts coal commission
should receive the thanks of every law
abiding citizen for it's conduct during
these weeks of trial and difficulty.

Employment Found for Chicaso's Aged

1t was the. first day of the employ
ment bureau for the aged and the
crippled, and hundred gray haired
men and women, enfeebled by physical
infirmities, made their way slowly to
the office of the bureau of charities.
They did not ask charity. All they
wanted was work, an opportunity to
earn an honest living: There was only
one impostor among them, and he was
quickly ushered to a down going ele-
vator.
Most of the applicants confessed that
they were outcasts-that none would
give them work; that everywhere~they
had gone they had been told that their
DAYS of usefulness and service were
ended. The working world held no
places for them.
Jobs for CrippIes.

wages was found for 20 Of the lame
and aged. The others went away
happy with the assurance that every
thing possible would be done to find
work for them, and some said it was
the first CLEAN of sunlight that had
come into their lives since they crossed
over from manhood" into "old age"
Men of As confessed that en-
ployers had told them that they were
too old to be of service; the women
applicants for work put the age limit
at SIS.
The man with heart failure was given
employment as an attendant in a ply
sician's office, three one legged men
were given jobs as watchmen. Tho
feeble minded lad discovered that he
could fold paper in a box factory. and
was employed. One of the men whose
right leg was missing, was employed at
work in a factory in which the hands
alone are used and one Of the men
whose left leg was missing, was in
trusted with the work of operating
small machine. which is run with one
pedal.
