What Big Coal Men Contend
Has Caused the
Trouble.
SAY MINERS ARE DAZED.
LETTER FROM AN OPERATOR
WHO EVIDENTLY THINKS THE
MINERS ARE DESERVING OF NO
CONSIDERATION.
Publishers Press

New York, April 16.-The following
letter has been received in New York
by personal friends of Herman Justi,
commissioner of the Illinois Coal OPP
orators Association:
"We have been having a merry time
of 1t in this section, and seem even
now to be just on the eve of a serious
conflict with the bituminous miners.
1t seems to me that the anthracite OPP
orators could have no better argu-
ment for refusing to deal with the
Uniter Mine Workers of America than
is found in the treatment which the
bituminous operators have received at
their hands. The miners admit that
the conditions of trade in the coal in
dustry of the West are frightfully de-
moralized, and even with all the mines
in the Central field idle. there is hard
ly any life in the market at this time.
I'm the face of this state of affairs,
and in view of the fact that the oper-
ators have granted advances nearly
every time they have met the miners
in joint convention. with the one ex-
ception of the reduction of 5.55 per
cent. in 1904, they are not satisfied.
II is fair to say however, that this last
demand is less the result of any dis
satisfaction upon the part of the rank
and file than ii is the result of rival
ry in the ranks of the miners officials
THE proposition to submit the
books of the coal companies to exam.
nation, and TO determine wages &C
cordingly, was turned down fatty.
Then the proposition to ask the Presi
dent of the United States to appoint
a commission to investigate the con.
ditions of the coal mining industry OF
the Central field was scarcely treated
decently by the miners national con.
vention. The men best known in the
miners movement and exercising the
greatest influence had no hesitation in
saying at convention that they were
opposed to arbitration unless they
were certain that their demands would
be granted.
Il have, as you perhaps know, nj
ways favored the organization of lab.
or, and have been an advocate of the
Joint Trade system. but as the result
of my experience | am forced to say
, that II the matter was presented TO me
now, should never consent either 10
the recognition of the union or to rec
ognize the system of Joint Trade az.

If the Richmond Commercial Club
can raise $4,000 as bonus to the
Remy Electric Company, of Anderson
to locate here, the South Side I'm
provement Association will present a
factory site, and the city will have
another industry employing IS men,
before the end of the summer.
A proposition from the Remy Com
pany was formally presented to the
Commercial Club directors at called
meeting last evening and it met with
a very favorable reception. The offer
is bona fide, the company being anx-
ious to leave Anderson and willing to
locate it's plant here. This is the Sec
ond proposition that has been made
to the Richmond Commercial Club
by the same firm, but the first was
not needed, two years ago
The company manufactures electric
sparkers for automobiles, gasoline
launches and all kinds of gas and va
por engines. The output is large, and
a force of Is men is always busy For
the most part the employees are skill
ed mechanics. If the plant is moved
here it will be enlarged and more men
taken on the force from time to time
The company agrees to erect a build
ing costing not less than $4,000. on
suitable lot, which the South Eide
Improvement Association is to do

Now He Is In Jail.

Revelations Of a strange dual life
followed the recent arrest in New
York city of John Wilmer MARITIME,
man about town and the friend and
entertainer of noted society people,
both in this country and abroad.
Back of the arrest of MARITIME lies a
remarkable story of a dual life sue
cessfully led for the past five years.
In the working hours, between 8 o'clock
in the morning and in the afternoon,
MARITIME was the affable and expert
seller of mems furnishings to the fash
ionable customers of w. A. McLaugh-
lin, at 304 Fifth avenue. In these
hours he wore a plain business suit of
blue, not in the least suggestive of an
income greater than the $32 per week
that was paid him by the firm.
The daily transformation occurred
when he had reached the exclusive
apartment house at BAT West Eighty
seventh street, where he occupied two
rooms of a large suit belonging to
friends. There he would take per-
fumed baths and emerge sartorially
immaculate in the most expensive
clothing to attend the social functions
to which he was constantly hidden.
When MARITIME was arrested an invi-
tation was found in his pocket to the
Baer-Schley wedding. Mrs. Baer is the
daughter of Grant b. Schley, the mil
lionaire banker and broker at 80 Broad
street. MARITIME was also invited to the
!, wedding breakfast at Delmonico's.
Further investigation showed that
many other persons of social promi-
hence were on Marines calling list
MARITIME claimed the friendship of John
D. Rockefeller, whose socks, ties and
underclothes he said he always select
ed. In his room was found a photo
graph of the beautiful daughter of for
mer United States Senator William E
Mason of Illinois. Senator Mason on
being questioned admitted that Mar.
tine had been engaged to Miss Ruth

that Marines employers learned last

not now, in favor Of the incorpora-

believe that with the almost infinite
power of labor organizations to tax
their members, and thus to raise a
large revenue, that they should be
forced to place in the hands of some
reliable trustee a fund sufficiently
large to guarantee the inviolability of
their contracts; in other words they
should place fund where the employ
err can be reimbursed whenever he is
injured, because a contract has been
violated"

few months ago, his wife and daugh-
ter came to visit him; that the child
became i'll on the way and that it was
necessary to operate on her for ap-
pendicitis as soon as she reached
Denver; that the little girl died, and
that Mrs. Petty at once without his
knowledge or consent. hurried back
to Indiana with the body, knowing
that he was unable to accompany the
body home. He also charges that
since he has been absent from MUIR
Gle. his wife has sold his automobile

THAT CANNING FACTORY.

The Journal has frequently spoken of the advantages to be derived from the establishment of a small canning factory at New ark, and has hoped that some of the public-spirited citizens of the community would take hold of the matter, organize stock company and put Tn a small cannery. We believe that nearly all the farmer in the community would talk stock in such an enterprise, and we believe it could be operated profitably to both, the stock-hold- CTS and the community at large.
 The South and the Southwest sends millions of dollars every year to the North which a little enterprise on the part of the peo- pie could easily be kept at home. In almost every community vast quantities of fruit and vegetables are wasted every year, and because of this waste carloads of canned goods of the same character are shipped into these same communi- ties from the more thrifty inhabi- tants of the North.
 There Is no reason for this un- natural condition, except a certain lack of enterprise on the part of the people of the South, and an unwillingness to resort to com munal union for the strength to meet competition. Such eondi- tions are serious drawback to the prosperity of any community and The Journal would like to see the people of this community wake up to a realization of this fact and shake off their indifference.
