MINERS HOPE FOR ADVANCE
Say Operators Have Only 100000
Tons of Coal Stored.
lBy Telegraph to The Tribune

10y AflNSidpH to lHS lIluuHt.J
Wilkes-Barre, Penn, Feb. 2--Instead of
having 100000 or 100000 tons OF coal
stored, the anthracite operators have only
about 100000 tons on hand according TO
reports made to-day by scouts sent to all
sections of the region by the district Off
Gals OF the Mine Workers These scouts
have made careful estimates of the amount
Of coal In the various large storage plants.
and the aggregate of these estimates is
that the amount is close TO 100000 tons
They also estimate that not more than
10000 tons are stored at points outside the
region, in various yards and In the plants
of large wholesale and retail dealers.
This being the condition. they say that
they have gained renewed hope that the
operators will grant them an advance in
wages and some other concessions. which
will enable them to effect an amicable set
tlement Of the strike.

day at the Fourth National Conser-

Although the theory has been
very generally held owing largely
to the active propaganda of inter-
ested parties, it is completely ex-
ploded when subjected to either the
test Of experience as shown by his
tory, or by the laws of modern
science as demonstrated in the prin-
ciple of evolution. War-like nations
have invariably become degenerate.
and been overthrown by more primi-
tive races, whose atality had not
been sapped by the continual slaugh-
ter of it's strongest men.
peace is the only condition that
can maintain high state of civiliza-
tion and lead to the permanent i'm
provement Of many physically and
The distribution of vic
tories at the recent Olympic games at
Stockholm was more than a mere ac
cfdent. The Overwhelming number
Of contests won by Americans is
strong evidence of the advantage OF
the arts of peace rather
than war. The equivalent of what
we lost in physical manhood in oul
civil war fifty years ago we have re-
gained many times in the physical
vigor that has come to us from for
ign shores, largely to escape mill
tary service.
England, that has boasted itself
the most powerful nation of the |
world, as a result Of long history
Of conquests, came out second to lit I!
tie Sweden in these games, while
Germany and France fell ir
still farther behind.
"The proof of the proposition tha
not war, but peace is the necessary
for the physical and mora
development Of the race gives an i'm
portant, if not first place, to tho
peace movement in efforts to conserve
the human resources of the country
It is we'll that we make vigorous and
efforts to eliminate al
causes tending toward physical weak
ness and degeneration. Condition
Of labor and life which foster diseasf
must be prevented by all available
means, for without human resources
all other resources are mere chaotic
matter, without form and void

the original purpose of it's founders
to avoid all purely aggressive wars

for physical strength, length of life

WV TO )'iiH CHILDREN

At the Arbor day program given
in the training school auditorium
Friday morning Prof. II. W. Hoch-

announced that each child would
be presented with a lilac bush ready
for planting next Friday at the
school. 1t was the original plan to
give the children the shrubs at the
close of the Arbor day program. but
on account of the bad weather,
which would make it disagreeable
for the children to work in their
yards at home and give the bushes
the proper attention. it was decided
to postpone the distribution until
next Friday. Every child in the
school who desires may have a nice
lilac to plant in their home yard,
with the understanding that the
shrubs will be given the proper
care during the first season to in
sure their growth.
