The follow ine statement from the officers of the United Mine Worters of America, issued to-day, presents fully their side of the coke lockout: To the Operators of the ConnellsTlllc Cote Ke- glou: Uurcx.lxiN-11-e uct that the relation between Jou and jour cmploscs has materially changed luring the pat ft" weeks. Js the cause for this communication In llie beRii.ninr 01 February, when we met jou. It was aereed that on accountoi the deiirci llon In the Iron -trade and the consequent accumn latton ol cole on the market, a lrlcudly suspen sion should take place, and with that understand ing we parted. fclnce that time many cor.nictlnic statements hire tone forth as to the causes of continued Idleness Ont is that jou have been resisting v. hat ha been called an unreasonable demand for auadance In wacres In the face ot a depressed market. AuotherH that the men are resisting a 30 per cent reduction made neces&an by the com petition of othtr regions whote labor is paid les and coke Is produced at a lower figure than you are ab,e to produce It, Allow us, thcr-lorc. to slate the case fairly as wc understand it. first It is true that the cmploresor this region aked foran advance in wages before the expira tion ol the last tcale Tear. It is also true that the ottered to continue" ork atlastjear's rates until trade should lmproe and another confer ence could be held, Intt such coniercnec should beheld Immediately alter the annual com cntton or the U. M. W.of A., which met 111 Columbu-, O.. wasmutually agreed. JKxond hen. iu accordance with the pledge given, aa stated anove, wc asked lor tne seconn conference, we were told Inat there was no need toured to enter Into conference, unless wc were prepared to arrange a scale on a basis of a 10 per cent reduction. Ilicrej&ous presented to Justify what you ask deere careim consideration. It Is not true. thit because of cheap labor In other coking fields, the t onnelsTltlc operators are losing their trade. ot'thstandlng the lact that the Irou trade was soineuhat tiepressed during the It6t year, and pirtiiuii!l so durfngthe fal1 months, the In crease ol production for the cir in the Couuells iilc legion was about 4,000 tons, while the lncrea-e In the wlueof coke produced was be tween HW,O0o and SS,O0O,C0u. Hie Low Trice for Mining. As to the cost of production In other fields wc submit the following First The price for mining In the Connellsville coke region is less than 27 cents per ton 1 he low est price paid lor mining outside ofthe Connells Tlilc region is 371 cents per tou, a dincrencc of nejrly J5 per cent in favor of Connc'lMllle oper ators. In most of the coke fields the price for mining is 50 cents per ton. a difference of overdo per cent in Tour favor. It wl 1 thus be ceen that the Conncllsviltc oper ators cet their ovens charge-d foi less than others Fa lur mining. In the face of this lact. and urtlier that the miners of this region arc digging and loadlllk oal lor less thau 17 eeuts net ton, be Milelailnt their own road and ftettlnc their own timber, and keeping ui their own supplies, a 10 percent reduction is oflercd. - Isthls lair orjuvf ou ask honest workfiig ii.eutodig and load a ton ofeoal for less thau jou would paj aeouiuion tramp for shotcling a ton ii coal into your cellar and then ask them to suf lera reduction ol 10 per cent and because of their rerusaleverv effort is being made to turn public opinion against them. We are quite willing that o.i impartial public with those lactt belorc them fehall judge between us. It is true that wages paid to day lnnds differ lualcriuUy. in different regions, but uot near 60 mue&asthc -taieincnts made seem lo Indicate. Urlvers arc paid In other regions from I 75 lo ?: 10 per d-is. while a majority ol competing regions pav ?- per da . 11ieaerageamiinnl hauled In the Connellsville region Is about 45 tons per dricr per day. as against 31 tns perdrivei perdav in uthei regions, ditlereucvin tanroI Cnnell.ullc operators ol more than 50 pel cent in labor performed, while the difference in wa.es paid is less than 10 per cent. The Cost of 1'rodnclng Coke. It will be seen that. In the actual cost for haul ing coal, the (.onnellsvillc operators have an ad vantage ol morcthaa 20 percent, and the sains applies to almost all other day labor in and around the mines. Outside day labor iu many of the compcutUc fields is about 10 per cent less than In tlie ConnellsWUc regions, nils is to be expected, becaiiM; of Connellsville being near a large Industrial centre, and Is so itself; but the .mall number of common da hands so emplojed does uot make a difference in the cost or produc tion or one percent, while the lacts above stated show that the operators have an advantage of more than 3D percent YMien we take Into con sideration the value or the coke prodnced In tliii region, the injustice of juurdeuands for a ledoc llonls manliest, the amount of coke produced lastvearwas 0,1,518 tons. Attast seal's prices the total alue. f o b. at ovens, would lie about fl3.tXM.uuu. When it is know u thai the actual cost otprodncmga tou ol coke at last year's rales Is less thau SI IU it Is hard to Ju.tili yonr position in aMuk lor a reduction, on the eontrarr. a consldiiahlc advauce on some classes would be euiluentl) propel In conclusion let It be known Iliil 11 a long conten Is inevitable w e shall return lo the old demand of scales on the tipples that Jus tice mav be assured to all, an advance that will cover our present losses and a worklua day of eight hour- lbs is not a threat, but simply a Wleclariuon ot our intentions. Hie aboe is tubmltied In the interest of ."air play, and that oui respective positions may be thoroughly understood In the American people generallv and labor organizations lu particular W c ask Tor the above a eaudid consideration In the hope that that spirit of conciliation which ought 10 exist between the emplojers and em ployed of this great induttrv jna, be substituted lor the apparent antagonism now prevailing, loar&rcspecltully, J. u.

A STARTLING STATEMENT. A Relief Distributer Says That None of Iialfour's Fund Reached the People. Boston, March 25. William Lloyd Garrison, who is receiving funds for the relief of the starving people in the west of Ireland, gives extracts from a letter written by Miss Sophie Stnrge, who has charge of the distribution of rcliet in Connangbt. She says: "Yon will hardly believe me when I tell yon that not one farthing of the large fund Mr. Balfour has collected has come to the people. But for our private help workmen must have died of famine. All the Government officials end their cases to us, poor law officers, police magistrates, besides the priests and doctor". The peopie are clamoring for food and work, and we find tbat we cannot supply the Increas ing need. We have organized our work so lar that onlv the nged and those who have not able bodied helpers and the sick receive food, but the Increasing number of these arises from all the districts around coming for help also. It is a most deplorable state of things, because with relief comes demoralization and the whole thing might have been easily prevented had the advice or those who understand the question been taken last year."

The House Committee investigating the State prison management made a very voluminous report to-day. It is In three parts, one giving the history of the con tract convict labor system, the second de tailing the purchase of binding, twine ma chinery for prison use, and the third discussing the alleged compulsory resignation of Warden J. J. Randall, who died this morning.' The history of the contract system goes back ten years, describes the various contracts, ex plains the workings of the system and gives some Inside worklhgs of the companies secur ing contracts. It states that by letting out con vict labor at a low figure, and then paying out big prices for work to the companies employing said convicts, the State was caused a big ex pense where a little or none should have been incurred. The committee finds that in this way the State paid 900,000 more than it re ceived from the contractors who had secured the contract labor. The report gives copies of letters of tbo manufacturing companies em ploying convict labor, in which they speak of getting such labor for a "merely nominal price," and describe how they have arranged matters to prevent the possibility of any other securing the con vict labor. In the discussion of the binding twine matter crooked methods are alleged against those securing the machinery for the penitentiary. As to the removal of Warden Randall, the com mittee believes it was brought about at the in stance of the convict-employing manufacturers who, instead of the warden, wanted to make appointments.
