5000 Miners Out at Springfield
Presages Trouble.
ASK ONE-FIFTH WAGE BOOST
Solution Proposed Is to Load Increase
on Consumers-Farringt Doubts
His Power to Control Men-Indian-
apolis Conference Agrees on Pro-
posaIS~

CHICAGO, ILL. = Wholesale sus-
pension of work in Illinois coal mines,
the most serious of which is a strike
of 5000 miners in the Springfield dis
trict, will be the first problem the Il
Hnois coal administrator to be ap-
pointed by Harry A. Garfield will have
to attack.
A statewide strike is threatened by
the miners unless an increase of 20
per cent in wages is granted imme-
diately. Their demand was presented
to the operators at a meeting in In
dianapOlis last Thursday, which was
postponed at the request Of National
Coal Administrator Garfield until he
could select his state lieutenants.
Pass 1t On to Consumers, Urged.
The coal mine operators of Indiana,
Illinois, Pennsylvania and Ohio have
already agreed to grant the increase
asked by the mine workers, provided
Mr.. Garfield allows the increase to be
passed on to coal consumers by rails
ing the mine mouth price schedule
which President Wilson established.
The alternative faced by coal users,
therefore, is that the wage increase
will be granted land an increase of
about one-ffth in coal prices will go
into effect Immediately; or the in
crease will be denied, and a strike
of miners threatening the coal supply
will result.
harrington Doubts Power Over Men.
At the wage conference in Indian
apOlis last Thursday, which was post
pOned at Mr.. Garf1elds request, Frank
Harrington, president of the Illinois
mine workers, made speech in
which he declared that ne would do
everything in his power to hold the
miners of Illinois in hand, and prs
vent them taking any action which
would handicap the country in the
his ability to do so.
Both Sides Agree to These Proposals.
The Indianapolis conference, which
was attended by operators and min3
workers representatives from Illinois,
Indiana, Ohio and western Pennsyl-
vania, agreed on these proposals:
That a substantial increase to COM
pensate the increased cost of living
be demanded by the miners, amount
ing to 20 per cent of the present cost
of coal mining.
That the operators refer the request
to the coal administration, expressing
willingness g grant it provided mine
mouth prices are increased proper
tionately.
If the wage increase were added to
the presidents prices it would in
crease coal about so cents a ton.

Saturday Evening Letter
By Justice J. E. Robinson

erty Of E. A. Wanless, a superannuat-
ed Clergyman Of Illinois. This wheat
Doherty sold for $329.9O, and applied
the proceeds to a debt justly due 20
him from Wanless Wanless resided
in Illinois. He had farm of 800
acres some 80 miles from Minot and
seven miles from BerthOld. The farm
was rented and he retained Doherty to
look after the .faim and the tenant
and the crops grown thereon, and to
make reports to him concerning the
same; ana also to fOreclose a mort
gage on half section OF land and to
do everything an ecessary to protect
his interests. in regard to the farm,
and for that purpose he gave DOherty
a general and special power of attor-
ney. @.E ..-- n
Doherty looked we'll after the farm
and the tenant lie watched the hal.
yesting. and threshing of the grain:
lie made numerous trips to the farm,
going by motorcycle and by automo-
bile, mourning much danger and dis
comfort and expense. On one trip he
remained at the farm nearly two days
and one night with Wanless to aid
him in setting his matters with the
tenant. H3 saNe counsel to Wanless
in all matters concerning the farm
and other matters. He ommeiiced
an action to foreclose mortgage;
commenced an attachment suit for
$3.50; and replevin suit against the
tenant. He furnished the bonds, pros
ecuted the suits to final Judgment and
paid all the costs. In the replevin suit
he recovered judgment against the
tenant for IT'S bushels of wheat and
$50 bushels of oats, and the costs of
the action, $33.40. :. And he did for
Wanless many other things too num-
erous to mentiop$ The result was that
Wanless zreceiyed some s1,400 that he
might have lost The services of Doh
erty we're faithful and efficient and
his charges were moderate and rea-
sonable. Under his general authority
to look after the farm he caused 400
bushels Of wheat to be hauled to the
elevator sat tBerthold and to be Sold
He received the price, SS29.90, which
he applied on his expense and fees.
He still claimed balance of $50,
which was paid him, and 50 the mat.
ter was settled This proceeding was
commenced BY parties who never had
any interest iii the matter of the COM
plant The testimony was taken be-
fore Judge Fisk, and he found in favor
of Doherty, and the finding is mani
testify correct. The matter is dis.

THE OLD SILVER 1hImeLE.

do yon know how to change an old
silver thimble into a hospital ambu-
lance?
Long months ago, when English
womenrcameto realize their men-folk
might be in desperate need Of hospital
supplies and proper medical and nurs-
ing care. they sold their jewels and
turned the money into the Red Cross.
And poorer women who had no jewels
what could they sell? + =
At last one little homebody OF a
woman had an idea, She could sell
her silver thimble! Every woman has
a silver thimble. And il all the wom-
en- in London-and in all England
gave their silver thimbles and had
them melted they would produce a
great quantity OF silver. And silver
is money!
The plan was instantly popular. The
middle class women Of England gath
cred their silver thimbles, old cuff
links, and bracelets and worn silver
spoons, and all their discarded treas
ures OF precious metal and had them
melted over into money. In single
year there was collected a fund which
purchased seven automobile ambu-
lances, five motor hospital boats, and
large sums for relief funds for dis.
abled soldiers. The sum collected by
these women who had nothing to give
but their silver thimbles amounted to
$4,000!
Now the idea has spread to Amer.
lea.
The women OF the navy league in
Indianapolis are planning a fair to
raise money for the bluejackets on
the y. S. battleship Indiana. They
propose to ransack their rag bags and
garrets-and no doubt they will also
take up collection OF old jewelry for
the melting pot.
So if the Ladies' Aid society OF the
Baptist church, or the Shakespeare
club, or the Thursday Knitting club
wishes to adopt a battleship, or a regi-
ment, or machine gun company and
see that the members have as many
of the comforts OF home as permit.
ted by military expediency" the idea
by which the necessary funds may be
collected is hereby respectfully sub
mitted.

Of coal will be moved from there 10
Cincinnati each month by the crea-
ton of artificial waves in the Ohio
river.
These waves are to be induced by
manipulating the dams between Point
Pleasant and Cincinnati. These dams
control the flow Of water from the
pools or reservoirs that have been
dredged out by the government along
the river to provide for the gradual
distribution of the water in food
times, and it has been discovered that
this water can be used to te:npOrar-
lily increase the depth OF the streams
when they are low.
There will be three waves released
each month. On their crests the coal
barges will ride 1t is calculated that
it will take each wave IL hours to
20 down the river from Point Pleas
ant to Cincinnati and that on it 10
tug boats with u barges each can
make the trip. This means 1870 boats
to each wave.
1t is estimated that the water sup

three waves each month. In this way
carriage will be provided for 800
barges every 80 days and $500 freight
cars that would otherwise be required
for the transportation OF coal by rail,
will be released for other traffic.
The experiment is not an untried
one On a wave created between Gal
lipolis, Ohio, and Cincinnati, 1890
tons of coal were recently carried to
Cincinnati from the kanawha fields"
This is not so new, as the foregoing
from Commerce and Finance" would
indicate. For many years coal fleets
have been foated from Charleston, ".
Va, to Cincinnati on water released
from the movable dams in the Kama
wha river. Few realize the enormous
coal tonnage carried in barges down
the Ohio river. The locks in the Ka
nawha river have removed the coal
famine that used to result from pro-
longer low water in the Ohio river, by
floating coal fleets On the waters
stored in, and released from, the dams.
When the locks in the Ohio river are
completed, a nine-foOt stage can be

ITS ACHIEVEMENT.

One thing at least the Townley Non.
partisan league has achieved: It has
put North Dakota and Minnesota in
the false position OF appearing to be
the only farming district in the coun.
try that demands more than a fair
price for its products, and that seems
to make the exaction of more than a
lair price the price of it's loyalty to
the nation.
That is an utterly false and SANDER
Gus picture. 1t does not, we believe,
represent North Dakota and Mime
sofa at all
Yet that is the picture that Town
ley, with his meetings addressed by
LaFollette and Gronna and Van Lear,
has presented to the nation, and he
labels it the northwest" And the
nation is judging the northwest &C
cOrdingly.
1t is NOT the northwest, and the
northwest should lose no time and
spare no energy in repudiating both
