1t was many years ago that the
great Republican party first came into
power, ut q time when the country
was disrupted by internal strife-a
time when the South wished to secede
from the Union and the North was by
no means unit on the proposition of
opposing this rebellion. Through the
efforts Of Fremont, Lincoln, Grant and
other illustrious members of our party
the breach was healed and nothing
nnder the sun can ever again threaten
our country with disruption.

MINERS TO QUIT
$4,000 UNION MEN LAY DOWN
PICKS.
IA STATES AFFECTED
Operators Show No Disposition to
Treat With Them. Contracts
Expire On March 31.-Com-
pany to Build Trolley Line.

Indianapolis, Ind.-The union min
ers in most of the soft coal fields of
the country will lay down their picks
and shovels April l. Almost 100000
of them will stop work in Ohio, West
ern Pennsylvania, Missouri, Iowa,
Kansas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Texas
and probably Indiana, Illinois, Mich
igan, West Virginia and Kentucky.
The mining contracts under which
they are now. working expire at mid
night March 81, and except in central
Pennsylvania and in the Indiana
black coal districts, no new contracts
have been made, nor have the miners
and operators yet entered into dis
trict agreements providing for the
operation of the mines after April
L, pending agreement. This is a pos
sibility in the Indiana bituminous
coal district, in Illinois, Michigan and
West Virginia. The Indiana, West
ern Pennsylvania and Illinois btu
minous miners and operators are IN
joint session at Terre Haute, Pitts
burg and Springfield.
Technically the miners will go out
on strike but in reality they will stop
work because the operators, except
in Indiana and Illinois show no real
intention of meeting and treating
with them, though no qeustion of wage
or principle is at stake.
John Mitchell returned and is pre-
pairing to step out of office. Congress
man w. B. Wilson, is back from GEN.
trail Pennsylvania, where he scored
the first big success in the present Sit
uation by getting the central Penn
sylvania operators and miners into
an agreement. That district will'con-
tinue to work. Vice President I. L..
Lewis, who will succeed President
Mitchell, will announce his appoint
ments when he takes office. 1t is
understood that Samuel Sexton, ed
itor of the United Mine Workers
Journal is to be elected and that pos
sibly Chris Evans, the official stats,
tician may be succeeded by new
appointee.

COOPERATIVE MINES.

The News is requested by men who
see the futility of the union miner
striking to get higher wages or hold
what he already has, to write series
of editorials on the subject of taking
the money that is spent in conducting
such strikes and locating mines with
it. The idea impresses them as it i'm
presses us, that it would be well to
discontinue this strike idea, which
hardly ever wins anything, and resort
to competition, and SO to get the idea
started we ask our readers to write
their ideas on the subject. One writer
at Belleville, H., has already CRITICS.
ed the idea, saying that President
Lewis has no right to spend money in
that way, and that one mine wouldn' t
be circumstance. He mistakes the
idea in the latter case, for it is intend
ed to establish mines only in districts
where union men cannot get work,
and it is not supposed that union men
will abandon ground already gained to
flock to union cooperative mines
started purely for competition. AS for
Mr.. Lewis or his committee not hav-
ing power to spend money in estab-
fishing mines while being allowed to
waste it in conducting strikes, if the
Constitution of the U. M. W, of A.
can't be changed to that effect, it is a
mighty poor organization, and it
would be a good idea for the thinking
miners to get together and establish a
brand new one. There must be a min
ers' organization of some kind to bet
ter their conditions and keep them
from insufficient wages, bad and dan
gerous conditions to work under, and
consequent slavery. See?
Let us have articles on the subject,
and don't forget to write to President
Lewis on the subject.
