MANY MESSAGES OF
COINCIDENCE RECEIVED
Queen Mother Alexandra Sends Mes
sage of Sympathy-Plans For Lying
in State Same as Those Carried Out
When "Army's Mother" Died.
(By Associated Press.)

London, Aug. 23.-The people of
England paid impressive tribute to-
day to the memory of William Booth,
organizer of the Salvation Army. The
ceremonies attending the lying in
state OF the late Generals body
brought forth a tremendous display of
respect from all classes and creeds.
General Booths body was removed
last night from the evangelist's late
residence at Hadley Wood to Congress
Hall, Clapton, where ID will lie in
state Friday and Saturday. Plans for
the lying in state are the same as
those carried. out when the body of
his wife, the "Armys Mother" lay in
state.
The coffin rests in the same spot on.
a catafalque. over which huge can
opy hangs. At the side of the coffin
an oil portrait of his wife is dis
played. Flags of all nations adorn the
walls of the hall, representative of
the vast extent of the Salvation Army's
operations.
Throughout Thursday a stream or
callers passed into the late Generals
modest residence at Hadley Wood.
Nothing about the exterior of the two
story villa indicated the presence of
death. The blinds were drawn down
only in the windows of the small bed
room containing a single brass bed
stead on which lay the Generals body,
clad in full dress uniform of black with
the familiar red jersey. About the
bed dropped the army's flag and at
the head hung the flag the General
carried on his visit to Calvary, when
he toured Palestine in 1905. In the
other rooms of the house the business
OF the army was being carried on as
usual.
Queen Mother Alexandra telegraphed
to Gramwell Booth, the son and sue
cessor of General Booth, the following
message:
81 beg you and all your family to
accept my deepest and most heartfelt
sympathy in the irreparable loss you
and the nation have suffered in the
death of your great, good and never
to-be forgotten father. It is a loss
which will be felt throughout the
whoIa civiIizad uuor1d. hrt fhapl, Ca
his work will live forever.
(Signed) ALEXANDRA"

been received from Gen. Louis Booth,
premier of the Union of South Africa;
Lord Islington, Governor of New Zeal
and; Lord Roseberry, and many other
prominent persons throughout the

gress has accomplished much under
the operation of the new order, or
rather the restored old order. All
matters of general character have
been acted upon and no member but

ON TWO DEMANDS
Hinges Likelihood of Coal
Strike April /.
Miners Want Recognition of
Union and Money
EXPECT STRIKE TO Be SHORT
Month or Six Weeks VIII Like
Iy End Struggle.
Believed That Present Row
viii Soon Be Settled.

New York, March 22.-Unless there
should be a renewed conference be-
tween the representatives of the an
thracite coal operators and the anthra-
cite mine workers at which an adjust
ment of the differences shall be made
then in all probability upon the frs
of April there will be suspension Of
mining operations in the anthracite dis
trict. But it is believed by the opera
tors, and hoped by the miners, that
the suspension will be only temporary
and that it will not be of longer dura-
tion than that which occurred in 1909,
or about six weeks.
Should there be suspension of work
the operators would board up their
mines and make arrangements to keeN
the pumps going, taking also such other
precautions for the protection of the
property as may be necessary From
high authority it is learned today that
the situation, stripped of all superficial
OF unimpOrtant considerations, is this:
First, if the anthracite operators
would agree to recognize the union or
would promise to provide a method fl
the collection of revenue for the or
ganization obtained by Withholding e
portion of the weekly wages and pay
ing this money over to the organic J.
ton, then the United Mine Workers
would in all probability yield every
other one OF the formal ueIldiluS WlACb
they recently made.
In the next place, if The operators
will agree to an advance of 20 per
cent over the wages fixed upon in 1903
then the mine workers will also aban-
don their other demands. These two
propositions are the crux of the situa-
ton at present.
With regard to the first, the recogni-
ton of the United Mine Workers and
the reservation for the union of a por-
ton of the wages OF the miners, the
operators have informed the mine
workers that there can be no discus
sion upon this demand 1t cannot he
granted and will not be granted aad
for two reasons-first, the laws of the
state of Pennsylvania forbid the with
holding of any portion of the wages
of employees by the employers; for
each offense of that kind a fine III
5000 may be imposed, and, next, the
operators feel that for economic real
sons-reasons which were recognized
by the strike commission appointed III
1902, of which Justice George Gray Of
Delaware was chairman-it is impOssl-
Bile to recognize the United Mine
Workers. The economic reasons lie III
the fact that the union of which tire
anthracite mine workers are members

strike commission, of which Judge
Gray was chairman and which was ap-
pointed by President Roosevelt IN
1902, was accepted by both operators
and miners. The conditions in the an
thracite region before that were al
ways unsatisfactory, and at times were
appalling. SO far as the miners were
concerned, there We're terrorism, the
rule of the Molly Maguires, unsteady
payments, and constant feeling OF
nervous apprehension. So far as the
operators were concerned. There r5s q
beeen violent and at times cut-throat
m ethods of securing control of the
smarkets. Sanitary and safety condi-
tions in the mines were neglected by
the operators. But since the work of
the anthracite commission was ac-
cepted, nearly ten years ago, the con-
dition in the anthracite regions have
been vastly improved. Twice since
1902 the solution of the difficulties
reached by the strike commission in
1902 has been accepted by cordial
agreement entered into by the opera
tors and the miners. Uninterrupted
peace has come to an industry which,
before 1902, was subjected to constant
contentious and Interruptions, the
mine workers have received good
wages. and there has been stability
of employment to the many industries
attending upon mining.
One of the proofs relied upon for
this statement is that since 1904 the
deposits in the banks of the anthra
cite region, one hundred and six in
all, have increased fifty-two million
dollars. This is an increase of seven
ty-eight per cent. Much of it repre-
sents the savings of the miners.
Today anthracite coal mining is
looked upon as one of the most pros
porous industries in this country. And
it is asserted by the mine operators,
and not denied by the miners, that in
that district the effects of the panic
and the business depression have not
been so apparent as they have in many
other industrial centers of the United
States.
In view of the record made in the
anthracite region in the past ten years,
following the acceptance by all parties,
both operators and miners of the rec
concentrations of the strike commission
of 1902, of which Judge Gray was
chairman, there does seem to be a
feeling that the present differences
will be speedily composed and agree
ments will be reached by means of
which the findings of the anthracite
strike commission of 1902 will be ac-
cepted for another term of three years.
While it is too soon to report that
the chances favor a satisfactory ad-
justment of the differences, yet it car
be reported that the outlook today is
decidedly encouraging.
