TRYING TO STARVE EACH OTHER OUT.

Why do not the-e two citizens display less stubbornness and more common sense?—Cnicago Record.

CAUSE OF THE STRIKE

COAL-MINERS SAY IT IS STARVATION WAGES. The Desire of the United Mine-Workers of America to Enforce General Instead of Local or District Settlements Precipitated the Trouble. A Momentous Contest. The great bituminous coal strike has reached the eighth week of its existence. It is the most momentous content ever fought in this country between the forces of labor and capital. Fully 175,000 miners are affectsd, and these are scattered over the States of Maryland, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Ohio. Indiana. Tennessee, Kentucky, Alabama, Illinois, lowa, Missouri, Kansas. Colorado, Arkansas, and Indian Territory and New Mexico. The strike has now reached the stage where vast business interests are crippled. The service of many railroads is paralyzed, the wheels of many mills are motionless: ships tug idly at their anchors, unable for want of coal to continue their voyages, and in seme cities the supply of water and electric light is shut off. In Colorado, Illinois, Indiana, Alabama and Pennsylvania bloodshed has been rife and violence still impends: the militia of five States are in service, and in others are held in readiness to suppress riot and protect life; fatalities, unfortunately, have been numerous, especially in the coke regions of Pennsylvania, and only a pretext is awaited in other States to precipitate more violence and bloodshed. Among the miners and those dependent on them there is much suffering, thousands being on the verge of starvation. Especially is this so in Alabama where the workers were in no fit condition to strike and where soup houses at the present time are a necessity. Miserable Condition of the Miners. The cause of the strike which has resulted in such widespread stagnation of business is twofold. The first, of course, is the low wages paid in the bituminous coal fields. No other class of workers than the bituminous coal miners have been so harshly treated, so cruelly imposed upon, so wronged, so miserable. As a rule the cost of mining bituminous coal is from Bl to 66 cents a ton, of which the miner received from 40 to 45 cents. Out of this miserable sum he must pay a helper and he is “docked” for slate and dust, the latter being deducted from the weight. His loss of wage on the latter account depends on the honesty of his employer. or rather of his employer's superintendent. At the ordinary mine great injustice and wrong are complained of on this account. The miner also usually rents his cottage, or hut, from the mine-owner, usually a corporation, and the rent is often exorbitant. The company also sharpens his tools for him at a generous price and sells him his food, clothes and blasting powder, charging on the average 2a per cent, mure than the prices charged at the neighborhood stores kept by private persons. In this way the company frequently receives back or hold < back on the store and rent accounts of its men nearly all the wages that have been earned during the month. Starvation Wape., The average daily earning of a miner is less than 80 cents, and to add to his burdens and the hardships of his lot his employment is irregular. Scant as the miners’ wage has been, serious reductions have been made since the end of last summer. First there was a cut of 5 cents a ton, and then in some mines of 10 cents. What this means may be judged from the fact that in the Pocahontas region of West Virginia the men were receiving only 37 cents a ten in 1890. Assuming that the average pay was 45 cents a ton, the last cut brought it down to 35 cents. This means earnings of about 70 cents a day, which, with irregular employment, “dockage,” and the inordinate prices charged by the company stores brought the miners’ wages to the starvation point. While this cut in wages was in effect in Pennsylvania, West Virginia, central and southern Illinois and parts of Kentucky and Tennessee reductions in other fields were threatened so as to make wages correspond. Another Cause of the Strike. The second cause of the strike was the desire of the United Mine Workers of America to enfore general instead of local or district settlement-. A general sett’ement would mean protection to the miners, to the operators and the public during the time covered by the settlement. Local or district settlements were a sounea of considerable annoyance and less to both operatois and miners, lor. while some operators and miners were bbund by agreement, others were not so bound, and thus a guerrilla warfare was waged on the trade. This is well illustrated in the operations of the last few years. Ln 1886, under the old arrangement, Western Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, part of West Virginia and Northern Illinois were recognized as a competition district, and this field was covered by a settlement at the time. The next year the Northern Illinois operators withdrew from the interstate convention, assigning as a. reason for their action their inability to pay the price agreed upon by the operators and miners jointly in the interstate conference, because of the low prices prevailing in Central and Southern Illinois, which were not a part of the convention and were not bound in its agreements. In 1889 the' Indiana operators withdrew from 'the Interstate movement, assigning as a reason their inability to maintain prices because of the low prices prevailing in Illinois. That practically ended the interstate arrangement In 1890 and 1891 Ohio and Pennsylvania

were together, but in 1892 they separated. The present aim of the miners is, thus, to enforce Ai increase <f wages and to effect a general agreement among all the operators who compete in the same markets. The object is one that necessarily i ommends itself and ore, too, wh.ch the bulk of the operators regard as just and desirable. But there are operators who refuse to bind themselves and these have been the cause of the failure of the convention held in Cleveland between the miners and the well-disposed operators. The present condition of affairs in some ot the mining regions is critical in the extreme. Armed deputies and armed miners are confronting one another, and with the memories of past scenes of bloodshed between them, but little is wanting to precipitate other battles, more bloody and fatal tharj any which have preceded tho n.' Suffering and want ha\e made the miners desperate, and unless the difficulty is settled within a short time both sideswill perhaps have gVave reasons for regret. The summary of the press dispatches which we have given from week to week, furnish a fairly complete view of the situation. MOBS IN CONTROL. Tbouitan.la of Men Break Into the MeReexport, Pa., Tube Works Plant. Never has McKeesport. Pa., witnessed such scenes of defiance of law and the inability of the authorities to cope with the law-breakers to the extent of repres ing law lessee is as were enacted Tuesday and Tuesday night. At midnight the strikers were practically in command of the situation. A dispatch says: The trouble grows out of the strike at thu National Tube Works and the strikers have since nightfall outwitted the police, broken into the millyards, and are making systematic tours of the works and their surroundings, of which they now have full control. The plant resumed in two departments Tuesday and about twenty-five men went to work. The news quickly spread and by noon a mob of nearly lu,oou had assembled at the gates awaiting the appearance of the workmen. Most of the men remained inside, but a few attempted to go to their homes and were caught by the mob and terribly beaten. They were finally rescued, however, by the police and taken back into the inclr sure. The mob then dispersed in ] art. but toward evening reassembled, and by 6 o'clock probably 5,000 men were massed in front of the entrance on Fourth avenue and it was said fully three-fourths of the number were foreigners. They were disappointed. At 6 o’clock the day turn did not come out and the night turn did not go in. There was a great load of provisions taken into the mill by the company. The mob surged around the entrance until 7 o’clock in the evening, when a rush was made and they broke into the yards. The men inside were panicstricken, and it was every man for himself. Hundreds of the mob were equipped with clu ns or weapons of some description, and they began a wild chase and pursuit of the workmen inside. Several welders took to the river and made their escape to Mifflin township, pursued by crowds of strikers, and finally were chased off into the darkness toward Duquesne. The strikers were in complete possession of the place. They ranged over the grounds, and finally routed ten hidden workmen. The poor fellows made a dash for freedom, but were cut off and surrounded. With no compunction the mob set upon these men in swarms and beat them shockingly. In the crush to get at the prostrate men one fellow was badly stabbed. It was the Homestead fight over again, with variations.

UNDER THE MUZZLES OF RIFLES. Miners at Clark’s Station Stop a Train While the Soldiers Look On. Washington, Ind.—At dusk this evening freight No. 9.J, consisting of cars loaded with coal, was held up at Clark’s Stati n under the very muzzles of the rifles of two companies of militia and a Gatling gun, and the miners refused to allow the train to proceed. The troops could do nothing, because no official was present to give them authority. The miners knew this and were very obstinate. Deputy Sheriff Ray Hill was dispatched to the scene. Terre Haute, Ind.—The strikers at Shelburn have burned five cars of coal captured from the Evansville and Terre Haute Railroad freight train and also burned the cars. The militia came up to the burning cars on their march to Alum Cave. The troops completely surrounded the mining town of Alum Cave this afternoon, but found it practically deserted. Many arrests of leaders were made. A detachment of the troops is guarding the bridges to-night, as there are fears that they may be fired by the strikers. FIRE ON A TRAIN. Striker,. Make Demonstration In Carterville—Troops Called. Springfield, HL The situation in Williamson County with rioting coal miners was such that Gov. Aitgeld wired Col. Kel.y M. Smith, commander of the Fourth infantry at Greenup, to at once send companies C of Carbondale, Dos Belleville, and M of Marion to Carterville and report' for duty to Sheriff Dowell. Ordnance and supplies from here were sent by special train for Cartervi le. The order for placing troopi was done in response to telegrams from sheriff Dowell, who wired that regular trains were being fired into: that great danger was imtrjnent, and that nothing but the State troops would stop bloodshed. Elkin Farmer, 1149 Park avenue, New York City, retired from business, has dropped $1,,000 to two clever swindlers, “Dudley & Spaulding,” on mining stock bunco scheme.

NEWS OF THE STRIKE.

Gov. McKinley Order, Soldier, to Take Poaseealon of Bridgeport, Ohio. New Philadelphia. Ohio.—Company M, of the Seventeenth Infantry. was ordered back to the armory. Sheriff Adams was appealed to, and at 9 o'clock read the riot act from the pilot of an engine. The respectable citizens dispersed, but about 210 miners and millmen congregated in groups to prevent the train from leaving. Section-men went down the track five miles and found ties, bridge timbers and rocks on the track, and the trestle burning. The track was cleared, and the fire extinguished without interference. The car containing the soldiers was fired into. Martin's Ferry.—An unsuccessful effort was made to run two coal trains on the Cleveland, Loraine and Wheeling Railroad, after a week's tie-up. Ties were placed on the track, dynamite was used, a revolver fired, and knives exhibited. Four deputy marshals and two reporters wore on the. train. Their lives, together with those of the trainmen, w< re threatened if the train was not run back, and this was done. The mob, inc.uding women, increased from 5J to 400 in ten minutes. The bridge at Whisky Run was burned, and troops have been ordered to the field. Columbus, Ohio.—Sheriff Scott, of Belmont County, teleg aphed Gove -nor McKinley that the miners at Wheeling Creek burned a bridge < n tho Cleveland, Loraine and Wheeling Railroad and that about five hundred men were in the mob and were still threatening lives and property. The Governor wired Adjutant General Howe, now in Guernsey Count .- with troops, to send some of the military in his command to Belmont County. The Governor also wired Howe that if more troops were needed he would call out the Fifth Regiment at Cleveland. John L. Gehr Arreated. Peoria, lll.—John L. Gehr, leader of the striking miners in the attack on the Little mine Wednesday, was arrested at his home at Edwards station. Gehr is District President of the Mineworkers’ Union. He was taken to Pekin on the first train. He insists that he did all he could to prevent the men from attacking the mine, but admits that he went with them anyhow. The Sheriff’s pbsse is still under arms and expect to be ordered to Collier's mine to serve a number of warrants there. The local militia is also still under orders. Threw Stones at the Pickets. Sullivan, Ind.—Last night at the military camp was one of tumult. Numerous assaults with stones were made upon the picket-lines, and as a result the cry, “Corporal of the guard ’’ rang through the camp often, and was usually followed bv firing in the direction from which the stones came. So far as known, however, no damage was done, though there was fear that the miners might, as they threatened, hurl dynamite at the soldiers. Toward morning an effort was made to burn the trestle-work of the Evansville and Terre Haufe Road near here, but the incendiaries were driven away by the guards. Try to Wreck a Train. Uniontown, Pa. —Near Evans station on the Baltimore & Ohio railway a desperate effort was made at train wrecking. A young man walking along the track discovered part of a freg tightly clamped to a rail and other material piled on the track in such shape that trains approaching from either direction would certainly be thrown from the rails. The obstruction was removed. Tic Up the Freight Tarda. Wheeling, W. Va.—Striking miners at Benwood, below this city, created a blockade in West Virginia coal and have tied up all the coal ip the Baltimore and Ohio yards. About 200 men are encamped at Benwodd Junction with the firm determination of preventing coal from moving.

FIFTY THOUSAND IN LINE.

A Great Turnout of the G. A. It. at Pittsburg Next September. The National Encampment of the Grand Army of the Republic to be held in Pittsburg next September will be more successful, according to present indications, than the most sanguine friends of the city fur the annual muster place had anticipated. Esti-| mating from the number of posts al-; ready heard fr< m as a basis, it is considered certain that over 50,000 comrades will parade on Tuesday, Sept. 11. It is believed that Pennsylvania will have fully as many in line, 1.5,000, as there were in the great parade in Washington two years before. Ohio had 10,000 in line at that time, but it is not likely, unless the returns are defective, that Ohio will turn out more than 7,000, although Pittsburg is so close to its border line. New York, it is thought, will turn out ?, 500 strong. The Allegheny County posts will have 5,000 alone in one column. Free quarters have already been assigned to U,ouo comrades, most of them coming from far distant points, although it is more than three months before the time for the encampment to meet. There will be 10,000 mounted men in the procession, which will, it is judged, take eight hours to pass a f'iven point. The decorations, and iluminations by night, will be upon a scale of magnificence never before seen in Western Pennsylvania. Letters received by the Committee op Reunions indicate that there will be a remarkable gathering of former Pennsylvanians, who after they came back from the war went West to seek their fortunes, and who became farmers on government lands as homesteaders in Dakota, Washington, Nebraska, Missouri, and other Western States and Territories, as some of them were at that time. A large number of veterans originally from Maryland and West Virginia, who left their States in the sane way, will attend the encampment

Do You Wish the Finest Bread and Cake? It is conceded that the Royal Baking Powder is the purest and strongest of all the baking powders. The purest baking powder makes the finest, sweetest, most delicious food. The strongest baking pow*der makes the lightest food. That baking powder which is both purest and strongest makes the most digestible and wholesome food. Why should not every housekeeper avail herself of the baking powder which will give her the best food with the least trouble ? Avoid all baking powders sold with a gift or prize, or at a lower price than the Royal, as they invariably contain alum, lime or sulphuric acid, and render the food unwholesome. Certain protection from alum baking powders can be had by declining to accept any substitute for the Royal, which is absolutely pure.

DYNAMITE’S INVENTOR.

lie Loathe* War and Hope* to Prevent It with a Nation-Destroying Compound. Mr. Ni bol is the mildest-mannered man who ever discovered an explosive. This gentleman, whose name as an expert was prominent during the recent Cordite litigation, dwells in a sunny, peaceful villa at San Remo, and there in the lap of luxuriant nature he spends his time in designing awful compounds, calculated todestrov whole nations and alter the face of Mother Earth at a single discharge. This, indeed, is his ambition, for then, as Mr. Nobel pertinently points out, war must cease. He loathes war, says Black and White, and has a passionate desire to put an end to the possibility of it. Once let him produce an explosive of such overwhelming and irresistible force that mankind refuses to face it, once let bittie mean absolute and certain death for everybody on both sides, and the nations will abandon war. We hope Mr. Nobel may live to prove the truth of his assumption. But high explosives are not for evory hand and should no longer be allowed to remain within the reach of the mob. Until a certain branch of tno patent office is shut against the public, however, any man from the street, may consult the formula for every high explosive as yet discovered.

The Gray Wolf of America.

Of the very few instances of the gray wolf attacking man, one is related by John Fannin, in the ever-inter-esting columns of Forest and Stream, of a Mr. King, who was a timber-hunt-er in British Columbia. Once, when traveling quite alone through an immense forest, searching for the best timber, and camping wherever night overtook him, Mr. King suddenly found himself surrounded by a pack of between forty and fifty gray wolves. They thought they “had him foul," and would lunch at his expense; but they made one slight mistake. Instead of being armed only with an ax, as they supposed, he- had a good repeating rifle and plenty of cartridges. "Well,” said Mr. King, “the fight, if it could be called one, lasted about half an hour. Then a few of them broke away into the timber and commenced howling, which had the effect of drawing the rest after them, when the whole band started away on the full jump, howling as went. I found sixteen of their number dead, and probably not a few were wounded." As a rule tho gjftiv wolf soon disappears from setwdd regions. In the United States there is probably not one wolf to-day whore twenty years ago there were, fifty. Tho killing of the ranchmen's cattle, colts, and sheep was not to be to’erated, and a bounty was put on the gray wolf’s head, with fatal effect. Moro deadly than the stool trap or the Winchester, the strychnine bottle was universally brought to bear upon his most vulnerable point—his ravenous appetite. Even during the last days of the buffalo in Montana, the hunters poisoned wolves by hundreds for their pelts, which were worth from $3 to $6 each. Now it is a very difficult matter to find a gray wolf, even in the wild West, and in Montana and Wyoming they are almost as scarce as bears.—St. Nicholas.
