H I' Connolly, senior member of the
firm ot Connolly & Wallace, said; "l'n
less tho miners have gilevauees
amounting to much moie than the
mere itestIon of tocngnltlou, I think
they will commit u gieat blunder In
going on stilko. If faith has been kept
and the 1 oneesslons ginuted last fall
continued 1 full to see uny motives
foi n suspension of laboi
WF.RE JFSTIFIED TI1E.V
'Last jear tho mlneis had gllv
anees. and wno Justified In demanding
an adjustment This eni. howcvei,
the elrctimstunies seem euiliely dlf
feient. "A stilko will piove a most uiifiii
ttinato thing to tho mlneis themselves,
to all business men and the city In
geneial Eveiy lo, al business enter
pilso will be afleited by It. and any lo
cal paper advocating a suspenslo.i of
labor Is guilty of a gieat Injustice to
the community"
Luther Keller, ex-pusldent of the
boaid of tiade, and one ot the 1 Ity's
lending business men raid. "I slneeiely
hope and tittst that theie will be no
stilko and I lannot hi Ing tnvsell to
believe that theie will be one. The
leadeis of the United Mine Woi Iters
should give this question set Ions on
fldeiatlon befoie dating to deelnio 11
sttlke which would menu disaster to
the business Inteiests nf this whole
valley. The giound on which theie Is
talk of declining such a stiIKe namely,
the lecogiiltlon by the opera tins of the
Mine Woikeis' oignnlzatlon Is not at
nil a sufllclent giound.
"The union has been leeognlcd. The
men have i"ceived a guarantee of a
10 Jer cent Increase for another eai,
the powder question has been settled
and the semi-monthly pay law Is giad

PRACTICAL RECOGXITIOX
'The giantlng of these things was a
piactlcal lecognltlon of the union The
confeulng ot the opeiatois and tho of
flceis of the organ I a Hon might be a
good thing and might be pioductivo
of good lesults, but It Is not of sulll

the throwing ot this intlie legion Into
a slough of business dopiisslon to ob

Aide) man John T Howe, of the Kev
'iitccuth waul, had the following to
say to a Ttibun lepoiter lcgnrding
the threatened stiike.
"I dislike very much to see anothei
coal strike at this time, so soon fol
lowing the stilko of last fall, I uudei
stand that the only gilevance of the
men this time Ib the lecognltlon of
their oiganizatlon, and If this Is so the
moi e conservative of the Illinois should
ponder over this question, discuss It
lieely, nnd then tuke action It Is a
giavc question and icqulie.s caieful
consideration.
"Public svmpath.v Is a poweiftil fac
tor In any strike, but If the men plunge
blindly into this. 1 fear that they will
not have the sanction of the public, as
dining the last unpleasantness, A sus
pension of work at the mines now will
have 11 telling effeit on the business
