100000 MINERS IDLE.
Executive Board Takes UP Question
of Strike Assessment.

Indianapolis, April II. - President
John Mitchell of the United Mine
Workers and Secretary-Treasurer w.
B. Wilson have arrived at national
headquarters and seemed satisfied
with the outlook.
The international executive board
will meet today and one of the mat
ters to come before the board will be
the proposition to levy a strike as
sessment on the miners whose opera
tors have signed the 1903 scale and
have put the men to work.
At this time about 100000 men are
idle and on strike. None of the men
has yet drawn on the national treasur-
er for support.
"One would scarcely know that
great strike is on" said Mr.. Mitchell.
"The operators and the public have
all the coal they want, the miners
would not have had any work anyway
since April 1, and if the public is pay
ing more than formerly for coal, some
one is taking advantage of the situa-
ton"

President viii Hunt No More.

Because people do not consider 1t dig
nified and make more or less adverse
comment on account of 1t, President
Roosevelt will not again go hunting
during his term in office. This is the
substance of a letter received last
week by Colonel Cecil Lyon, Texas
Republican national committeeman.
The letter was in answer to one from
the colonel asking the president to fix
a date for a big wolf hunt the Texan
was arranging. The president says
the people make fun out of the hunts
to such an extent as to make them an
noying 20 him.

constabuIary Headquarters Attacked.

Manila, April 1.-THE headquarters
of the Philippine constabulary at
Maolos, island Of Luzon, was attacked
several days ago by band of ladrones.
Three native members of the constab-
ulary and one ladrone were killed.
The affair creates no alarm here,
where it is regarded as merely an Incl
dent of the effort to establish order
in the islands through the employment
of a native constabulary. Similar con-
6icts between local outlaw bands are
of more or less frequent occurrence.

Little Hope For Anthracite Agreement.

There is but little hope for peace In
the anthracite region. 1t is regarded
as settled that the mine operators
have gone as far as they will go. Fol-
lowing was the word which came over
the telephone to Scranton from New
York from an important official In one
of the largest coal companies to the
local offices there: There will be no
more concessions. There will be not
one jot conceded by the operators.
That is settled. There will be no more
counter propositions-just a simple
refusal to consider the miners latest
proposition"

JAP LABOR UNDERBIDs CHINESE.
San Francisco Overrun With Mikado's
Subjects Hunting Work.

San Francisco, April 1.-THE sal
mon packing ships Oriental and Stand
ard of the Alaska Packers associa-
tion sailed yesterday for Bristol bay
with Japanese cannery hands instead
of the Chinese formerly employed.
This change was due to rivalry among
the Chinese contracting firms, who
carried the warfare to such extent
that the packing company grew weary
and accepted the offer of the Japanese
to do the work at lower wages than
the Chinese would accept.
The ship Santa Clara sailed also
with japanese crew. San Francisco
is overrun with Japanese coolies from
Hawaii who are eager to get any kind
of work at low wages. Thousands of
these Japanese have entered the coun-
try within the last six months, as no
exclusion law bars them.
