THE COAL SITUATION
Allegation From indianapolis That
1000 Men Are on Strike
PROVEN FALSE BY FACTS
IN THE HOPKINS COUNTY FIELD.

Attention OF several non union
coal operators in Hopkins and
adjoining counties was called
personally and by telephone
Tuesday to the report sent out
from national headquarters of
the United Mine Workers at In
dianapolis On Monday which
said:
Among the first things to be
considered by the national con-
vention will be the strike in the
Hopkins field in Kentucky. 1t
began January LIST and about g.
600 men are out at this time"
Operators interviewed, repre-.
senting a large majority of the
non-unlon mines in the counties
of Hopkins, Christian, Union and
Webster, gave in detail statistics
as to the number of miners EN-
ployed in the non union mines of
these counties. They stated that
the total number of men employ
ed to operate the non-union
mines of those four counties upon
normal basis with all places fill
ed is 8, 800 and say that practie-
ally all these mines are working
with full forces and producing
normal outputs of coal. The list
of men at work, as made up.
totals 3,608. In Hopkins county
the actual figures obtained are:
st. Bernard, / 500; Reinecke,
Dps; Victoria, 200 ;Crabtree, 100;
Nortonville So; other smaller
mines, ESQ; total, 2433. The
West Kentucky Goal Co., oper-
ating In Union and Webster, re-
port full force of 700 men at
work. In Christian county the
Empire company has about 125
men, which is a full force. The
Oak Hill mine in this county is
at work after a shut down on &C
count of court proceedings and
EN- barishment from the union.
Other small mines report forces
at work which bring the grand
total up to approximately 3,7O0.
The operators call attention to
the statement they gave out a
few days ago, t.:atlUhe tonnage
of coal output from the non.
union mines Of these four cOun-
ties for the first two weeks OF
January, Immediately following
the the strike order which took
effect January lst, was greater
than the output of the same
mines for the first two weeks OF
December 1907. During this
mild weather some Of the opera.
tors are complaining of lack Of
coal orders AVID say that unless
colder weather comes they will
have to reduce their forces.
, An attorney for one of the op
orators said recently that ii the
national organization of the
United Mine Workers was furn'
lshing money for the support OF a
Thousand strikers in Hopkins
county the treasury OF that Or
ganization was being robbed.
Union representatives IN this
county have been negotiating
with physicians to do the prac-
tice for the strikers, upon the
representation that they now
have one hundred men out IN
I Hopkins county and expect tC
have three hundred men out in q
short while.1

Mary land tho vote Mas almost
entirely for Secretary Taft.
Judging from the poll of the
members of the house, it is APP
parent that Secretary Taft has
gained an important advantage
in the Presidential race. Many
adherents, not only for Mr.. Taft,
but his opponents, said that
Frank III. Hitchcock, First AS
sistant Postmaster General, had
been in no small measure.respon
sible for this, because of the be-
lief tibet Secretary Taft had Sc
cured his cooperation not only
in an effors. to bring the South
into line, but y SO to secure dele
gates in other sections of the
country. But, more than all,
they were for Secretary Taft for
the following reasons;
Reasons For Supporting Taft.
"He is the strongest man out
side the President that we can
nominate.
Gle has had an exceptional
experience in national life, and
is well fitted, both by disposition
and training, for the Office Of
Chief Magistrate.
''He is big, broad-gaaged
man, who stands for efficiency
and progress, and woule, if elect
ed, carry out the policies of
President Roosevelt, at the same
time being his own President.
Strength Of Speaker Cannon.
The Cannon strength in the
House comes mostly from mis-
own-State and the East. "Uncle
Joe" is the ''first, last and all
the time" candidate of the mem
bers from Illinois. They are not
with him for political reasons;
they have a genuine affection for
him Outside his State those
most ardent in his support are
those who. have long been asso-
ciated with him In the House.
Every one of them is an enthusi-
ass.
This is a typical interview
with one of them: 'Of course |
am for Uncle Joe.' Who else
should | be for? Has he not had
thirty years of constant ex-
perience in public life, and par
tichlarly in legislation Who
knows the country BETTER Who
would be better able to point its
needs from the White House7

ence of nearly one-half of the
entire Republican membership
of the House of Rep,entative for
the nomination for the Presiden-
cy by the national convention,
according to a poll completed
yesterday by The Post.
OF the POI Republicans in the
House, not counting the Speaker,
the views of 1856 were ascertain
ed. Fifteen were interviewed,
but were noncommlttal. Twenty
could not be seen because of it,
ness or absence from the city.
Nearly al expressed their indi-
vldual preference. with the un-
derstanding that it should not be
made public, except in such a
way as would not reveal their
identity. Some, however, did
not hesitate TO express their
views for publication.
Few Have Second Choice.
The vote was taken by repre-
sentative of The Post, who
checked off the name of each
member after he had received
an answer to the following ques-
ton: "What candidate do you
individually prefer today as the
Republican nominee for t b e
Presidency?" In most cases the
member replied that he. was
"first, last aud all the time" for
his choice: therefore, an attempt
to secure the second and third
choice Of any large number of
the members was not considered
feasible. OF those who did ex-
press second choice the result
was, among the Taft adhereats,
III favor of Hughes, and, among
the other candidates, besides
Hughes, IN favor of the Speaker.
