This was de- cided on at Conference held between Governor Conner, Adjutant General Graves and Colonel McKieroy. in charge of the provisional regiment. It does not mean, however. that the troops are to be withdrawn altogether from the mining district as the cavalry anu artillery will do duty.
 The strike situation Monday held out but little new developments. Two car loads of strike breakers were taken to Wylam under military escort ana there was not the least interference. The statement was made by the opera tors after their meeting that the coal ouput is improving right along ana 1t Is expected that before long me normal production would again be re- ported. Sheriff Higdon stated today that the reports of probable disorders were few and he expressed the belter that the end of the trouble was now in sight The speeches of W. R. Fairiey and J R Kennamer and oth- CTS at the big mass meeting Sunday In me cILX hL WniCn tiO AAihOt0 SAAN' of the controversy was set forward have had no efrect whatever on the situation.
 At the ofIice of the miners the state ment was made today that the union men were holding on earnestly and hoped to win ont. The statement was made that provision had been made for the strike all through the pal ance of the summer, if need be. IL was announced today that another con- tract had been signed with a com mercial coal company. the concern De- ing located in Walker county.
 "If present outrages do not cease we will appeal to the Federal author ities for protection. as 1t is evident that the county and state adminls- trations are openly opposed to us. Peonage is existing at the striking mines aasa the pff of 1t ia eaaxsss
 The above was given out Monday morning in a statement by W. R. Fairley, national vice president of the United Mine Workers.
 "At Croker am told" he continued, ''the deputies and guards are intimi- dating and threatening the colored miners on a strike at that place. They are trying to force the men back into the mines. If this does not cease we will appeal to the Federal authorities,
 "The report is made that some of the miners are earning in the neigh borhood of Sl00 per month for mining coal, after paying fer all their help CTS. This is true. but the report did not state what the helpers were being maid. Those men said to be earning S10O are sub-contractors, and it is this inlquitous sub-contract system that we are fighting. The sub con tractor himself does no work and pays the men who actually load the coal by the day at rates that will not support them. These helpers, who are really the miners, are in many instances shoeless, and in abjeot poverty, toiling away and making money for the sub- contractor"

TAFT FEARS BRYAN
SAYS THE NEBRAsKAN IS ExPERE-
 ENcED CANDIDATE.
Repub's Standard Bearer Tells the Ohio Brethren to Organize and Not
 Lee State Go by Default.

Cincinnati, July 1.-Two important events politically resulted from to- days meetings and conferences incl dent to the final notification day par ticipations.
 William H Taft addressed a joint meeting of the State central and ex- ecutive committed. identifying him self closely with the State campaign and making 1t plain that whatever had been done by Arthur I. Vorys and other State leaders. had been approv- cd by him. Just what is to be the status of Senator Foraker at the opening of the eampaigff at Youn@s- town on September sfn is to Dc pro- vided by a subcommittee of the State executive committee appointed to-day. The duty of this committee is to pro- vide for speaker and program with particular instructions to report on the advisability of inviting the senior Ohio Senator to make an ad- dress,
 The State central committee settled the three county committee contests in favor of what is termed "rhe simon Pure Taft men,"
 The joint session of the State cen- tral and the executive committees was largely attended. In calling the meet ing to order, State Chairman H. w. Brown referred to the resolutions of the committee on it's organization, declaring that the Republicans of the State were in favor of Taft Nor Presi- dent and said that the present meet ing was a fruition of that action.
 MT. Taft's speech was generally ap- plauded. He said in part:
 We must know. those ot us who faco the facts, that we are meeting a strong party, headed by an able and experienced candidate, and we should be exceedingly imprudent if we be- Titled the forces behind hi mand the resources of an able leader. There fore, 1t is our duty as Republicans to see to 1t that the Republican cause has behind 1t all the force of disct- pline, all the force of organization that our sincere belief and interest in our cause require.
 we have, as I shall hope to ex- plain to you, just cause that may well arouse our enthusiasm. We fol- low and hope to continue an admin istration than which there 'is no one who had done more for the coun- try and one than whom there is none that ought to call out more enthust- astic support.
 "We are standing now shoulder to shoulder to meet our common enemy and overcome him as we have in the past Our friend the enemy, is look ing, as 1t so frequently happens, to Ohio as doubtful battle-ground.
 "If that will withdraw his ener- gies from other parts of the United States, we ought to welcome that hopefulness on his part. because I am confident that the Republicans of Ohio will organize as they ought to organize. and will not allow the State to go by default"
 The work of putting the finishing touches on the city. in the way of decorations, continued throughout the day and by night the streets were a blaze of color and illumination. A holiday has been declared for to-mor- row.

Repuhs Roundly scored .

Stewart, Ia, July 27.--The Republi- can leaders of Congrss were roundly @cored by William J. Bryan here to- day in the course of an address to sev- eraI hundred persons assembled at the station to greet him on his arrivaI:
 MT, Bryan spoke from the rear plat form of his car. He said he had never believed everything depended on reg islation. for, hA said, there is sphere in which the individual and he alone can determine his own property. But legislation can advance or retard pro Rress and can help or harm conditions. There were, he argued, many reforms that needed to be applied and Demo crats had the advantage of being able to use arguments that had been made by reform RepubIlcns in favor of near 1v all the principles Democrats advo- cated, More than that, he said, we have the speeches of the President to prove to you that there are things that need to be done, and we have the ac- ton of Congress to prove to you that Republican leaders will not allow these things to be done.
 The President. he declared. had been doing educational work. but his con vention would not go as far as he went In fact. it would scarcely go at all.
 In conclusion he said:
 T recognize that people would rath- CT secure reforms through their own party. but I also recognize that when one is sick he Is more interested in get ting well than he Is in the family pphystcian, and so, when you find that your party will not do what Is neces- sary to be done, you should come and help us to do what Is necessary to bo done"

Washington and Jefferson and Abra- ham Lincoln led 1t to victory
 Is It not time. is there not need for new party which shall take up the work of the parties of Jefferson. of Jackson. of Lincoln and preserve for us and for the citizens of the future the rights and liberties which these parties in their hour of usefulness pre- served for the citizens of their time?
 The old parties in this day of their decadency are no longer equal to this work, for they have become unfaithful 70 the principles which inspired them and unworthy of the patriots who founded them.
 The Republican party is the open and avowed handmaiden of the trusts. It scorns those who would rescue 1t, repudiates those who would reform 1t and glories brazeniy in it's profitable infamy.
 The Democratic party Is merely envfous of it's sordid sisters iil-gotten finery. It upbraids her at one cleo tion and initiates her at the next
 "The Republican leaders are the po- litical attorneys of trusts and monopo- lies the representatives in public fife of those giant corporations which have superseded the people in this republic as the source of power and the seat of authority.
 The Democratic vanguard is a Fall staff's army; it is led by a knight arr rayed in motley or modified pro- fessions and compromised principles of altered opinions and retracted state ments." tf s.s
 Mir. Hearst at this point in his ad : dress mentioned the names of SullI- van. Hopkins, Murphy. Mcclellan, Tag gart. Ryan. Belmont, Bailey and Will Hams. describing them as officers of the Democratic vanguard and designat- ing them in uncomplimentary terms i. He then resumed as follows:
