COAL STRIKE IS SEEN.
Walkout of Miners in Bituminous
Field Declared Certainty.

a general strike of coal miners on
fields is declared a certainty. More
than 10000 men in four states will be
involved in the controversy and the
struggle is expected to be more pro-
tracted than any mining dispute in
recent years. Railroads are now TAX
ing practically all the output of the
Illinois mines and storing it along
their tracks in anticipation of the sus-
pension Manufacturing interests are
offering increased prices for coal and
many Of them are under contracts
with the railroads which they are re-
CURED to fill.
The approximate number of men
who viii lay down their picks at the
end of this month is as follows:
Illinois ..-.-.'.....-..-.. fo,oU0
Western Pennsylvania ........ $4,000
Olllo ..-..o...-..'. 49,ooo

If the United Mine Workers of
America adhere to the resolutions
adopted in their annual convention
that no district can sign an agreement
or resume operations until every dis
trict is satisfied, the number of men
will exceed the estimate given, as Cen
trail Pennsylvania, Iowa, Michigan
and such districts in West Virginia
as are organized will be included in

1t rs apparent from the activity Of
the various branches Of the Government
that the Taft administration does not
intend TO have a repetition of conditions
such as prevailed in Chicago during the
Debs strike Of 1894. In short. the PTesi-

get away from him.
Two Of the most important decisions
the President rendered while he was a
Judge On the Federal bench were on
cases that grew out Of the Chica go
strike. One. the Phelan case. involved
the question Of sympathetic strikes. and
the other, the MOores case, involved
the secondary boycott question. Both
were decided against the strikers and IN
