LOOKS LIKE A TIE

ION the face OF the situation
is evident that the coal strik,
started. on Monday is to continue
The sub committees Of the mir
ers and operators met on Tues
day but accomplished nothing
taking an adjournment until thi!
afternoon. Nothing was done. ac
cording to the statements made
by both sides, and really it look'
at if nothing would be done to
day.
f'The operators declare them
selves willing to abide by the
finding of the strike commission
Of three years and more ago-tc
be ready to continue on the same
basis-but the miners ask for
other concessions, one of which
involves an agreement upon the
part of the operators to make
themselves agents for the union
in the way of collecting the dues
of the members of the miners
organization. This demand is
made by the miners, obviously, to
provide against the operators
making "open shop mines.
$50 far as the wages go there
does not appear to be much diff
ference of opinion, and the oper-
ators maintain their determine
ton to refuse the requests made,
standing firm for continuance
of the agreement just expired by
the lapse of the three years de-
cided upon by the strike commits
sion.
"What most concerns the min
er ought to be the question OF
wages. Should they secure even
the same terms they have had
they would be doing well. Dur
ing the three years just ended
the mines have been worked
without interruption and the
thrifty miners have been able to
save considerable money. When
a man can save something from
his wages he is not being imposed
upon. That is certain.
"The coal miners ought tol
adopt the platform adopted by a |
Republican county convention. in |
Kansas a few days ago, which de-
cIared the sentiment of the party
to be "Let we'll enough alone"
The miners ought to be satisfied
to let we'll enough alone. Three
years of steady work, and with
less friction than has ever been
known before for that length of
years in the coal districts, make
it evident that the miners have
