their competitors in Western Pennsyi-
vania. Ohio, Indiana and Illinois in
1885 entered into these mutual agree

eemi-monthly paydays and at that time
an increase in wages of 10 cents per
ton, the West Virginia operators have
not advanced wages or shortened hours
In all these years.
They have refused constantly to per-

Miners Lives Unvalued.
West Virginia Is one of the fiye
States In the Union that has no employ
ers' liability law, State Senator Mont
gomery said in statement to Senator
Kern. Under legislative enactment
and repeated decisions of the supreme
courts the life of the coal miner has no
value.
THE homes that the coal miners live
IN, the mine equipment. the mule that
hauls the Goals are all insured by Inc
! mine operator. The only earthly Thing
IN and around the mines In West Viz
Einia that has no insurance and Is OF
no value is the life of the man who
produces the wealth that has made the
iawless and heartless coal baron 30
arrogant and SO riSn. Nearly 100 lives
have been lost in mine explosions and
the only thing given the widows Of the
dead mine operatives was a pine box
in which their husband was buried.

AGAIN
WARN TURKEY
Beaten, They Insists She
YisId to Allies.

London, Jan. 6.-Followlng the dec
Iaration by the powers that Turkey
must cease her dilatory tactics and
come to an understanding with the
allies 1t Is regarded here as almost GER
tain that the Turkish and Balkan
plenipotentlaries will come to an agree
ment very soon.
1t is declared that the ambassadors
Of the powers decided that Turkey
must not resume the war, and one OF
the ambassadors notified Rechad
Pasha, the Ottoman delegate, to that
effect. He was told, 1t is said, that if
Turkey attempted to fight again she
would have to do so without money,
as the powers would prevent the nego-
tiation Of a loan.
The ambassador informed the Turk
Esh peace delegates that Turkey might
as well understand at once that she
was beaten and would have to come
to the terms of the allies. This warn
ing by the powers viii probably put
a different complexion On the peace
conference when it meets again and
instead of a defiance of Turkey to the
ultimatum Of the allies q less belliger
ent reply will be given.
Prepared to Refuse Demands.
Rechad Pasha, when he received this
startling intimation. was prepared to
file an emphatic negative to the de-
mands of the allies, and it was his
desire to make the porte thoroughly
understand that it was the attitude Of
the powers that impelled him to ask
the allies for a further adjournment
Of the peace conference.
The mischief makers are busily at
work again, spreading rumors that
Roumania is ready to take the field
against the allies unless the Bulga-
rians accede to certain incredible de-
mands for territory, but the manufac-
turers Of these canards are of the
same type as those who for a time
upset the markets of the world by con
iuring up the Austrian bugaboo. The
allies have agreed to recognize the
just claims Of Roumania, and In the
end this war cloud also is expected to
vanish.
The allies are ready to submit to the
powers all questions affecting interna
tional relations, but everything else
must be settled by themselves. They
will not ask for Intervention by the
powers-they know Turkey will do
that-but they are willing to meet the
ambassadors in a conciliatory spirit
upon every question outside the rea-
sonable demands which they are MAX
'ng and which must be satisfied.

solid front to the mob.
Nearly 10000 were turned away.
When they saw the doors OF the Hip

Sixth avenue to Bryant hall, where ar
engagements had been made for an over
