the end. ! cannot ste why the mills of
Lowell cannot give an increase similar TO
that of the cotton mills Of the other New

made: that Is, that they would be given the
II per cent increase. | then made the sug-
q stion contained In my letter.

MINERS WORK ON GOOD FRIDAY
English Coal Men Resume, but Scottish
Hands Remain Idle.

London, April Good Friday was gen
orally dlsregarded as a holiday in the coal
mining districts and there We're further re-
sumptions Of work, notably in the Bristol
district. where all tho collieries were put
in operation. In Scotland the men who re-
turned 10 work were mostly uon-unionists,
the members of the union having received
instructions to await the decision Of the
national conference TO Ice held i'm London
next week before rcsuming operations.
Riotng occurred to-day in colliery near
Tunfermlinc. Scotland when uniOnists at
tackled uon-unOn miners who desired to re-
turn to work. The police were called out
ana ouclled the disturbance, but not before
considerable property damage had resulted.
Judging from interviews with the miners
delegates. the conference next week will be
lively and prolonged. The element in favor
Of continuing the strike is very strong and
intends to make a great effort to control
the proceedings. The general belief Is,
however. that the extremists will be de
feated. Their action. it is said, is largely
an expression OF discomfort with the fed
Grafton leaders, and whatever the result OF
the conference it is not likely to bring
about a revival Of the strike.

SOFT COAL PRICES HIGHER
Suspension Continues -- State
ment from Hard Coal Operators.

The price Of soft coal increased yesterday
with the news that the suspension Of work
would continue until tho settlement with
the soft coal miners Was ratified, requiring
from three weeks 10 a month.
Dealers said yesterday there was a great
demand for steam sizca Of anthracite now
that the anthracite suspension was com
pleto. Spectators We're reaching for any
that was available
\ statement was issued Yesterday on be-
half Of the anthracite operators committee
of ton in explanation Of the attitude Of
the operators on recognition Of the nion
The operators arc willing to stand abso-
luteIy upon the decision of the strike com
mission with respect to this demand No
claim has been made that now conditions
have arisen 10 make the issue different now
from what II was when the commission
passed upon it, and the question should,
therefore. not 10 TsOpencd.
The operators have consistently held that
II was unreasonable to ask them 10 enter
into contract with union controlled by
workers engaged in hituminous mining, q
rival industry. They We're upheld i'm this
by the strike commission. which declared
that tho first requisite for trade agreements
IN the anthracite Industry should be an
organization governed by the anthracite
mine workers and free from control or die
tatiOn Of DituminOUS mine workers.
Mono Of the reforms i'm organization that
the commission recommended have been
made, and to-day the Operators are asked
to do precisely the same thing which tho
commission, with fun power, declined to
direct them to do.
Another COnCluSiv" reason why tho an
thracita operators should not recognize the
United Mine Workers as a party to a
contract is that not nearly all the anthra-
cite UIno wOrkerS-nOt even majority
are members Of that union This is not 4
