Powderly Tells an Ugly Story.
There is great distress among the strik-
ing coal miners about Punxsataw rey, in
Northern Pennsylvania, and even greater
and more general distress in some parts
of the aathracite region, especially in
the Wyoming valley The cold facts as
narrated by » newspaper correspondent
in the bitnminous mines, and by Mr.
Powderly, of the condition in the an-
thravite region do not make ple saot
reading. We question if they could be
paralleled iu te exceptional cases pro-
tectionist writers pick out among the
“pauper laborers” of Great Britain, Very
likely we would have to goto “protected”
Germany for anything that reaches the
standard suggested by Mr, Powderly's
parrative, “Pinkerton’'s men” would
stand as a fair set-off for the soldiery
the paternal emperor uses to discipline
the German miners,
Mr. Powderly in a published letter
describes the condition iu the anthracite
“as? a menace fo good govern-
ment. a disgrace to civilization in the
United States, and a deep, damning blot
upon a system which permits a few men
to absorb the hidden treasures of the
earth bold strong men as slaves upon

com uunity in demading high prices for
coal thal is mined only when a few men
say 55.” Mr. Powderly cites the case
of a woman who died in child-birth be
cause of the deprivation of the proper
tood for several days before the event,
aud hesays the case of the woman's
husband, who was unable, though 4 hard
worker and temperate, to sapply his
family with the necessaries of life, is pot
an “Its parallel,” he
asserts, “may be found in every street in
the coal regions,” and he adds that “old
miners say that they have not exper.
jenced such hard times in 20 years.”
Mr. Powderly says: “The coal is not
being mined because there is no demand
for it, we are told; the supply exceeds
the demand, and as a consequence the
bundreds oft mines and breakers in the
Wyoming valley must stand idle eight
months out of the twelve,” and as a sup-
plement to this the labor leader quotes
from the letter of a friend in Nebraska
who writes that the farmers in his section
are burning corn because it is cheaper’
than coal at $12 to $16 a ton, and con.
tinnes: “There is evidently a Jemand
for onal in Nebraska,” says Mr, Powderly,
“buat they find it cheaper to barn the
corn that they had hoped to sell for
more than 12 cen's a In the
mining regions there is a demand for
corn, but the miners are not permitted
to earn enough to supply their families
with sufficient of it to keep hunger
away from the fireside circle. The
farmer can burn his corn or eat if; the
miner is not permitted to take the coal
ont of its bed of ages, and if he did so be
could not eat it. There isa a demand for
coal in Nebraska, and there is most cer
tainly a demand for corn in Penn.

The unrelenting warfare against the
Hebrew race in Russia and the ivtermit-
tent anti-Semitic crusades in Germany
and other countries, have led to propo
sals for a meeting of prominent and rep-
resentative Earopean Jews, to which,
it is understood, a few Americans of tha
race will also be invited, at Amsterdam
or some other city in a small nationality
in the course of the coming sammer.
The principal measure to be discussed
will andoubtedly be the raising of a fund
to be devoted to the protection of their
brethren from the persecutions and ins
yvidious distinctions to which they are
now subjected in the majority of coun
tries throughout the world.
Haron Hirsch has promissd to attend
such a congress if it takes place, and it is
confidently said that the storm of indige
nation aroused by his famous pamphlet
of last year, wherein he practically urged
the assimilation of the Jews with the
people among whom they dwell, has con.
vinced him that the spirit of the mee is,
at ioast at present, ansabdued. This be-
ing the case, he is of the opinion that the
only congee is for the Jews to fight in
gvery possible maun r for their rights,
oeing largely the press aod persistent
personal appeals to persons exaited by
position and reputed for justice and hoe
manity.
