Sttntson was found early the other

MINERS ORDERED TOGOOUl

Pittsburg, July la.-Eiforts are being
made today to prevent strike next
Thursday between the United Mine
Workers Of America and the Pittsburg
Coal Company. There are thirty -eight
mines involved, employing $4,000 men.
While conferences are still being held
and Thomas L. Lewis, president Of the
United Mine Workers, is expected here
today, strike has been called, to begin
Thursday morning, by Frances Feehan,
president OF local No 5, the Pittsburg
district miners union. The trouble,
however, has not reached the serious
stage. and the chances for an adjust
ment before Thursday are viewed op-
timistically. The grievances include
the use Of Safety explosives and al
legged violation Of the eight hour law.
1t is understood that one Of the rea-
sons that the snke was decided upon
at this time was the strike now on by
the tin plate workers against the steel
company. II was announced some time
since that the United Mine Workers
we're thinking about taking a hand in

ence between the national and interna-
tional officers Of the United Mine Work.
ers Of America.
The mills Of the Pittsburg district
are starting up again and there is a big
demand for part Of the 100000 bushels
Of coal which the Pittsburg Coal Com.
pany has promised to deliver yearly to
the corporations Cutting of this coal
supply at once was thought to be a good
way to assist the strike Of the tin plate
workers as well as gain some points
for the miners themselves. The order
70 strike was given and the notices
70 $4,000 miners reached the different
lodges yesterday.
The reason given BY the miners Off
cials for the strike at this time seems
general. II IS set forth that the Pitts
burg Coal Company with its seventy
mines has not lived up to It's agree
ment, and that new and heavier duties
have been forced on the men. In the
order TO strike no specified grievance Is
given, and this adds to the belief that
the strike has really been called as a
move in sympathy with the tinplate
strike.

When the civil war began Young
man named Marvin Hughitt was 4 train
dispatcher on the St. Louis. Alton &
Chicago, now the Chicago & Alton Rail-
way. He had entered the service Of the
road few years before as telegraph
operator. He lacked the advantage Of
a college education and training. But
he soon showed that he had qualities
such as no college can give, however
helpful it may be in developing them.
II became necessary to move large
bodies of Union soldiers southwark over
the st. Louis. Alton & Chicago. On the
train dispatcher fell the chief burden
and responsibility Of seeing that the
scores OF extra trains bearing these
thousands Of men were handled rapid
~ and without accident. There were
no double track railways in the west
then; the code Of train rules had not
been developed to anything like It's
present perfection; there were no block
signals and interlocking devices. Safety
OF railroad operation depended much
more than at present on the dispatch
er's vigilance skill, Judgment and re-
sourcefulness. Young Hughitt proved 70

beating the Union troops, that he had
these qualities in rare degree. that in

A STRANGE CASE
OF HEREDITY,
By Z. pE VILE BOWMAN.

copyright, 1909, by American Press Asso-
ciation.I
From my earliest remembrance
lived with Patrick Coulter. an Irish.
man. All knew about him up to the
time was twelve years old was that
he was Mr.. Coulter and | was George
Bissell. / was given to understand by
him that be had taken me as an or
phan and was bringing me up. GER
tainly was not allied to him by blood
for was as refined in appearance as
any gentleman's son. while Mr. Coul.
ter showed unmistakable signs Of
plebeian origin. he was short, red
faced, thickset, rotnnd and with griz-
Fly gray hair. He wore on his face a
perpetual sour expression. l confess
that, although was given to under
stand that | owed him everything |
hated him.
And / had every reason to hate him.
for be hated me- He was always
surly to me and never even in odd mo-
ments showed any affection for me-
Only in one way did he manifest any
interest in me. He would occasionally
have Its OF generosity with me. giving
me money quite freely, but always inn
pressing it upon me that he was very
good to do SO and that l should APP
preciate his kindness. He also seemed
TO be troubled with continued fear
Of losing me.
The only knowledge be possessed
was that Of figures. He wrote good
clerical hand, and | remember that
such accounts as happened on that
were made by him had methodical
look.
When was twelve years old one
day found Mr.. Coulter fl conversation
with lean. hungry looking man, who,
when entered, asked. rs this the
boy?" and Mr.. Coulter grumbled low
'sYes." The man looked at me curl
ously. and when he went away saw
him putting a lot Of bills In his pocket
hook. He came after that from time
to time, and on several occasions when
happened to see him depart he had
evidently received something. His Wis
its we're always accompanied by bad
humor on the part Of Mr.. Coulter, and
once overheard high words between
them.
The most remarkable bit Of treat
ment | received from Mr. Coulter was
d good education. when came to be
eighteen longed to go to college and
begged very hard to be sent TO uni
versity. He demurred, but at last con-
scented, telling me that | should always
remember that be had pinched himself
to send me. At college ! formed the
pleasantest associations ara often
epent nv vacations with ny college
chums. Mr.. Coulter was greatly vexed
Mt this, but as ] was growing 70 be
more Of a man every day, and he was
growing old aud seemingly a tribe
afraid OF me, usually bad my way.
Az leaving college I wished to study
the law. but for some reason Mr. Coul-
ter took a strong dislike to my adopt
ing this profession. and IN this in
stance. holding the purse strings, he
conquered.
one day while l was thinking what
