A-'REPnUSENTATIVK of one
of the l.irsert Interests In
the 1'nlterl States Steel cor
poration" In the coutse of a
statement lrsucil in New York on Mon
day, relative to the strike of the Amal
samated association said:
"Rer.iti.ep last ear tlie anthracite
roal Mitkn was tettled here, some
have thought this strike Mould he set
tled In the hame way. In that case It
was found that theie were some real
Krlevanees as to waces and limits and
they weie lemcdled. In this cas-e,
however, none of these elements enter.
The striken are not similar. The ques
tion between the strikers and the com
panies has" nothing to do with wages
or houip, hoth of which aie equal to
If not better than the union si ale. The
sole item of Important c In the demand
of the stilkeis 1 the Insistence that
non-union men employed In non-union
mills on union waqes shall he lls
chaiged by the company If they do
not. join a union. The steel corpoi.-t-tlon's
office! s have taken their posi
tion in flat opposition to that demand
and do not piopose to ehnnge It. For
the steel coiporatlon to have made any
other decision would have meant that
It had no future."
One sovetelgn proof of wisdom con
sists in the ability to pi out by past
mistakes. The "real grievances'" dis
covered by the New Yoik financiers
In the anthracite situation last year
had existed for years and should have
heen remedied by voluntary action on
the part of the controlling Inteiests,
ns some of the better Infoimcd individ
uals operators contended, befoie con
cessions were forced. Had that heen
done, theie would have beeri no coal
strike and no fictitious encouragement
to the multiplication of demands which
has since made the anthracite region
a hot bed of labor troubles. It was
the New York end of the coal business
which made a mess of its handling of
the anthracite strike anil opened a
Pandora's box of lo'cal Ills.
Let us hope the New Yoik financiers
have learned something In the interval.

And the man who has nothing to do
generally suffeis most liom the heat.
The South and the Chinese.
AT THIS TIME, when the
Ameiican-('hlnse aie mak
ing a concerted movement
to petition congiess next
winter not to extend the prolslons of
the Ceary Chinese exclusion act, and
the Far West Is beginning to uige
that very extension, thete comes a
Southern voice that will gladden the
Chinese and anger the Pacific coast
rtates and those lying on the Sierra
slopes.
It Ie the Mobile. Alabama, Register
which makes editorial declaiation:
"What we need In the South Is a mil
lion actie Chlnere to work the negro
population into activity. There Is
work enough for them and the negroes,
too. We ought to hae them; yet hero
is this Infernal un-Ameilcan Chinese
exclusion law In the way, bat ring us
from the very laboi we most need, and
condemning us to put up with Incom
petents, who Tinow we cannot get
nlTijr. without them, and take ad
vantage of their knowledge."
The Geary exclusion law expires by
limitation next May. The treaty with
China negotiated In 1SS0 says: The
government of China agrees that the
Kftvernment of the I'nlted States may
regulate, limit or suspend such com
ing or residence (of the Chinese Into
this Riuntry) but may not absolutely
prohlgt it." The Oeaiy law did "legu-late"-amf
-"limit" It, In accordance
wlthj5he demand of California and
other iJtVir western states. "The law was
passedj only' after prolonged legislative
battles; Tho .sre&peels at present aie
for rfflch a battle, more stubbornly
fought nex 'Winter. There was gen
eral unbelef, when the Chinese lead
ers eifgaged In organizing the piellm
Inaryiflght '.declared, a few weeks ngo,
that friey would be able to secuie a
great jnumber of American signatures
lo thetf petitions. The Mobile Register's
declar&tlon will bring utter amaze
ment So the far west, and probably
great tpdlgnatlon.
It It at Just this timet that China
puts Kb her claim for Indemnity for
what jiavc been aptly termed by some
of our contemporaries "tho White
Bojcer'.outrngos" against the Chinese at
Butte,Montana, ln 18S6. For the In
formafjon ofMnany readers we take
a connsed account of the basis of
thla Irttiemnlty demand from a brief
resume made by the Chicago-Herald.
It says: "It Is alleged that several of
Minlbter Wu's countrymen were killed,
that others lost their property, that
many were completely ruined and driv
en away, and there Is no doubt that
the allegation can be proved. It was
a tlm(When white mobs were allowed
to do as thy pleased ' wlfh Chinese.

Not long before fifty of these people
were murdered at Hock Hprlngs, Vyo
by a gang of white mlnetn elmply be
cause they were competltots In the
labor market."
Tho Herald adds: "It la said that In
the Hutte chso tho city council and the
local courts showed a shameless sym
pathy for the tloters, and In such a
state of public .sentiment as we have
described that was natural, The
Chlneso, Is as distinctly outlawed as n
white man would bo In tho remote In
terior Chinese province of Sz chucn.
These facts, like tho negro burnings,
should make us sing a little low on the
subject of barbarians, though they In
dicate that It would be Impolitic to
repeal the exclusion act."
There hnvo been some very recent
manifestations of Chlnese-phobla In
California nnd other far western states
that serve to give emphasis to that
last clause we have quoted from our
Chicago contemporary.
In the matter of making faces nt
each other without results, Russia and
Japan eeem to have biokcn all records.
Ovenloinu It.
HMAN NATURE Is so con
stituted that, with the pos
sible exception of n very few
' who are without ambition
or alms above their present station,
everybody is dissatisfied with his lot
In life or Impressed with the belief
that some body else's lot Is preferable.
This unlvcisal trait Is not a bad one,
either, In Its social tesults, since it
Is the mainspring of progress, The man
who Is satisfied does not piogress; he
Is more likely to tetrograde Impel fectly.
Yet at the same time, It would work
incalculable mischief If every man who
Is not satisfied should throw up his
Job and go on a sttikc. That theie
aie times when stilkes aie neccss'aiy
to bilng about lrforms which would
otheiwlso never mateiiallze is undeni
able. In that i esprit they are to In
dividuals or gioups of Individuals like
wais aie to nations. Rut tho most
progiesslve nations aio those which
do as little lighting as possible and
do It only after every other recourse
has failed. They aie not quarrelsome.
They do not carry chips on their
shoulders. On the contiaiy they go
very far to one side in order to avoid
lighting and light only when It Is n
neccssaiy nltornathe to unbeatable
dishonor.
No doubt very man who reads these
lines thinks ho Is underpaid. And
may he hi is. It all depends upon
circumstances. Yet If eery Ameilcan
struck there would be no gain to nny
body except possibly our European
rivals. On the contrary, every striker
would lose and eveiy strikers family
suffer. We ate having an epidemic of
strikes. No sooner 1b one ended than
another bobs up and lately they are
coming In bunches. The effect Is bad.
It Is Intel feting with business piogiess.
It is hurting trade. It Is postponing
new enterpilse. And It Is not a pay
Ing Investment for the strlkeis. Tho
cool, i effective, lo el-headed vorklng
men know this and admit it pilvately.
Hut the hot-heads out-talk nnd out
vote them In tho meetings whcio stilkes
aie ordered.
The simple fact Is that organized
labor Is over doing the stilke business.
It Is biting oft moie than It can masti
cate. Tho time has come- when Its
f i lends must call a halt upon the strike
spirit or tho losses will soon become
intolerable.

TWO PICTURES of Mark
Hanna, each drawn by ver
bal experts, aio going tho

differ ladlcally and illustrate what
wide margins theie can be among tho
cuiient estimates of men contempor-nneoiii-ly
gieat. The first Is by Wil
liam Allen White, the Journalistic
ptophct of modem Kansas, who writes

Hanna is all right. He would make a good piesb

The other portrait Is by William
Marlon Reedy, whoso weekly Journal,
the Mirror, of St. Louis, la ono of tho
brightest publications of Its class. Mr.
Reedy writes:

business idea In goiernment, as Mr. Hanna

and people and he would ayi "llosh, let 'em
look after thrmteltti," Hi motto is take what

tion and money and solldltied selfldi Interest.
What dors llann tare (or abroad! What does
Hanna care for the men who think that poiem
ment should bo it Just tn the outsider as the In
ildert Nothing. Hanna knows nothing, care for
nothing but that business, nd more particularly
his hutineM, li flourishing. He doesn't think
tint the great mistcs ot the people hate tn in-
Itrrrit in got eminent quite Independent of the
litt that Mr. Hanna and hW sjndlrafe ire piling;

about that. .No one more admire his larfte,
Jolly rtnklfm than doe the editor ol the Mirror.
Ills content jind his eonlrmpt for the discontent
ed are almot sublime. Hi blulT, rough shod
method ol coercing men Is tcfrrhlns. He ha
that lirute-Mreimlh ol Intellect that we some
how tike, ern while nc turn up our noses at It,
llantit li a fine tjpe ol the man who Is bo
lulely Hire that he tan buy what he want. He
know that people will irwl to money and
power. He knowa most of the people don't
think, He itcrcn t ate time atgultig with
tliem. lie Just tells them, thafi all. Maik
Hitini I not a hjpoultr, He doesn't disguise
hi attitude. He doen't think that contentions
ought to deliberate. It I the duty ol conten
tions to tale their order and execute them.

country or the rest of mankind. You can like
a man who bellete that jou can like him In
w.i.t. Hut jou don't think he'd make a good
present. Mr. Hanna i a Jolly, rjnle tjrint.
lie might make a good enr, but a good presi

Probably both of these portraits are
overdrawn. Rut It doesn't matter.
Hanna will have his way Just the
same, until some man more powerful
than he gets in his way nnd shoves
him Into a corner. Meanwhile, this
talk of Hanna for president is not to
bo taken seriously nnd we are happy
to say that It isn't being so taken.

Press Comments on
the Steel Strike
Absolutely Unjustified.
From the riiiladelphli Times.
The aMoilation seems to hate made a xast mis
take, anil the only pity is that the leader who
hue Intolted thousands of Innocent persons in
the strike will not themeltes lute to bear the
nifTrrlns which II must etentually entail. They
will stilt draw their stlarle nd may ride in
their i.irriage, xthllo poor women and children
are crjing for bread and meat. No one denies
tho right of ttorkingnicn to unite and organise
to gu.iid llulr own interests. In these da ol
lirge corporations, when the point of dlrcit ion
tail between emplotcr and employed are so fc',
labor organUatlons seem to be lndipensihe, In
order to secure imituil protnllon and hirmony.
Hut It can bo Jintlllod only when it rcallv per
fninis this scrtlce and urs It powers rightly
and Justly. It xlnlales the trust reposed In it
when It abuses lis prltlleges and undertake to
exert It-elf In 1 depotp a.
Tlio Amalgamated assodatlon ha oterslepped
prrnisiblp bounds. The rcale of wages which
it Intituled when the si ile was signed guaran
teed peace within the industry (or a long term,
a matter of Importance to the manufa hirer a
well a to the men. On this occasion It is not a
muter of wages, hut President hhalTer under
take to control not only the members of the
union tmt thoe who are not members. It is .i
question of going Into all the mills and of union
ising them, etcn against the will of the men
who are cmplotcd there. Workmen arc tn Join
the nssni-htlnn, nolens xolcn. This puts so arbi
trary an apei t upon the strike that the leaders
mut go into it at a sacrifice of public sjmpathv.
In granting their demands the manufai Hirers
would not only put their plant in absolute ion
trot of HnlTrr and the offlicrs of the association,
but the li Hon would lie ilestructite of the Indl
tiiluil freedom of the workmen. No man who
still renins a trace of the old American lote
of librrtv wants to be forced to Join a lodge,
paj the awsments and be bound by the rules,
or to hate hi rmplotnirnt controlled from out
side without my tolce of his own.
How soon the strike niav end, nrithrr the in
terested parties nor the public at large can offer
a prediction. All esperiemc Justifies the belief
tint the etrntui: result will be fatnrablc to the
company if ome it cmlnrk.i upon the struggle.
The adtantsgrs are alwaj on the side of capital
in a labor war. The corporation his unlimited
funds at its command, and it can prolong the
contest until It wins, nut meanwhile all the In
dustries o( the country mut suffer Incilntlable
loss. The man who brings about nn h a cahmlly
bt hi own arbitrary order should be held to the
strii test accountability.
A Striko for Powor.
Trom the New York Tribune.
There-Is no dlsputr as tn the immediate causo
of tho stnke. It Is not a nutter of wagcv Nor
Is it a question of lecognluing the union. Th
question is merely whelhfr or not the steel com
funics shall unionize certain mills which hate not
hitherto been union, though union mm were not
bined from thrm and union rates of wages were
piid. t'ndcr tilth circumstances unionisation
would simply mean tint the steel companies
would compel their Iree workmen to join the
Amalgamated association on pain ol being ele
prited of a chance to cam a litmc in the ttvr
mills where thej hate worked without antagon
ism to the union or cutting the mukct priie ol
labor. Ml other points In dispute might easily
hate been arranged, but the Amalgamated asso
ilitlon would oflkr no compromise whatcter on
this though the companies offered to unionize
some of the open mills but insisted that the
men in all the mills should be foned, regard
less of their desire, to join the association. This
the manufacturers would not agree to, and in
justiee rnu hi not agree to. It would hate been
an ait ol tjranny on their part quite as Indefen
sible as an absolute refusal to lrt thofe of their
tmplojes who wished Join the union. They treat
id their rmplojes as free men, recognized tha
labor organization full.t, allowed it to dominate
most of the mills, and only insisted that they
would not themseltes hriome Instruments of co
en ion In the hands of the association to force
the minority who preferred to be free worker
into tho organization or out ol the steel buslncw.
The onlv exuise whlih the union glirs for this
tecminglv unreasonable and un American demand
is the charge that the manufuctuajr site theia
free mills preference in the distribution of work
and at slack times force the men In the union
mills to idleness This is denied by the com
panies. Ktcn if the charge is true, in the pre
c,nt and Immediately protpcctlte state of the steel
Industry it does not seem to he a matler ol such
tirious concern to union men as to warrant a
strike which otherwise could be atoided, The,
real reason for the stand for absolute nnlonlza
tlon Is more probably not an actual grlrtancn
toncernlng the free mill, but a determination
long ihirlfhrd to extend the organization at a
fatorable time and put the whole steel Industry
wllh lis grasp as a necrssiry ttep to possible
(utuie contest! oter more terlous and as jet un
formulated demands. Organized labor teems tn
lute sought at the.iutet, while the trust hat
jet to otereome prejudice and commend itself
tn public (atnr, a contest as tn who shall really
control tho properties, and naturally its first ttep
is to forie all cmplotr of the trust into the
union II possible. Tills strike Is not lor piesent
betterment ol the londltlon ol labor, but lor fu
ture power.
Bad Judgment or Worse.
from the Philadelphia Hecord,
The offhlal annoumeinent by the Amalgamited
Association of Iron, steel and Tin Workers, when
lsunl, may possibly add tn the public Informa
tion of the lauses whlih led up to the ttrlkc; but
so much has been said that apparently there can
be little tn add. The right of skilled non-union
laborers to work term to bj the toU point at
issue. Hie owner of tho trel plant Intoltcil
were simply lommanded tn "unionize" their e
tablishuient or take the co-i-t,cmrs, No tiust
has eter rssa.trd tn do afslhlrjj more urbltrar
than is tliis undertaking ol the Labor Trust. It
has put Itrclf in the attitude of tn enerrt to all
libor but union labor, and hat compelled the
Steel Trust to aissumo an impregnable position ai
the defender ol one of the Inallenahle rights.
It teem hardly credible that thete it not tome
ttock Jobbing basis behind thit motement of the
Amalgamated association. Should the strike
spread it would prove ruinous to thousands upon
thousand ol mr.ceent person by reason ol thit
comprehenslte indirection which makes all biu,
nets Interdependent. The ttdppag would brim
on (canity; scarcity xx-ould tend up prices; high
er price xxTtuld tun rrtble to the !.'! lr:it to
make good Its Iossm. Put the wig lost and tht
putllo lost1 would be Irrecoterable.

From the New York Sun.
Knr the moment let u consider only the de
mand thst the Amalgamated association should
control the whole Immense field ol Meet making.
Miould this xst-industry, second In the country
lo agriculture only, be dominated by tbe men
now at the head ol Itwe may y without in-
idiom comparison, the shiest known to American
business or by the hindful of professional labor
agitators who assume to control the army of tteel
workers? In England tome jer ago the labor

ot their Industry Irom the hands of those wha
owned the properly; and the llrltlsh trade i
crushed at the result ol their edottt. It is now
tlowly and painfully getting baik Its tlrength
under Its former mastri. The present unllerfak

Amalgamated association, we helleto that the
blow to the general prosperity would be even
heavier than the prostration ol the tteel com
pany alone by a protracted strike. No business
would he secure and no law-abiding citizen would
be safe.

From the r.lmlra Adtertlser,
The contest it not wisely precipitated. II la
not to reilresa wrong or to athlete tytterment.
It Is oter a question of pride, or sentiment. It
is a contest of the weak againit the strong, in
which weakness I the weaker because It lack
a grletame. The weak will suffer. The Improvi
dent will need tuccor. Stoppage in the furnish
ing of material will cause idleness In occupa
tion! remote from the Iron and tteel mill, -lust
will suffer with the unjust. Meanwhile the treat
tteel corporation can wait the inevitable end.
It will not ttarte if a quarter passri without t
dltidend. The contest on which these rarties are
entering, perhaps, was sure to come. It it regret
able, but as well determined now as st a future
time.
To Wage Earners
and Others of
Moderate Income
Do not spend your money foolishly
because you have so little of it. but
yave what you can from month to
month and Invest It in something that
will multiply many fold. The mil
lionaires of this section were laborln?
me-n a generation ngo and they pur
sued this course while most of their
comrades blew It all In. The pru
dent ones saw that fuel was a good
thing, that the xvorld had to hav
It, and they bought coal land, a little
nt a time as they could spare It, and
It has made them rich, and their fami
lies live and will live In the greatest
comfort, while the descendants of
their Imprudent comrades are labor
ing as their fathers did for day!
wages.
Keep this object lesson In mind.
The opportunities of that earlier time
wore In coal, today greater opportuni
ties exist in oil, which Is fuel in a
more concrete fotm nnd is rapidly
supplanting coal, because it Is easier
and cheaper to mine nnd handle, and
is, besides being n mor- economic
fuel for nil large consumers, profit
able for n hundred other uses, Tho
oil of California is furnishing that
state xvlth cheap fuel, for tho lack of
which her progress has been woefully
retarded. The entire Pacific coast
will consume oil ns a fuel, so that
the demand upon the oil fields of Cali
fornia Is unlimited. California oil
refiners will hold the markets of the
far East and of tho west coast of
South America. It is plain to be seen
that the oil fields of California will
he the source of incalculable wealth,
far beyond xvhat the coal mines of
Pennsylvania have heen In the past.
All thourjhtful men can see that the
thing to do now to make money Is
to buy the shares of conservative, re
putably managed oil companies hav
ing lnrgp holdings of undoubted oil
lands secured at low prices, and only
requiring development to become the
source of enormous revenues for
ehorpholders.
The PACIFIC COAST. AND TEXAS
Oil. COMPANY has in the most Im
portant oil fields managers of ability
and Integrity and of the highest prac
tical qualifications for their business,
nnd the shares of this company are
today, without doubt, the best Invest
ment obtainable. These shares would
be cheap at 40c, but are; selling for
the time being at 2dc per share, to
procure monev to bore the first wells.
The price Is sure to adx-ance rapidly
to keep pace with the developments
on the company's lands and on ad
joining lands. The market value of
the lands is constantly advancing. Do
not delay making an Investment In
this stock. As to the value of this
oil property and the character and
nblllty of Its managers this company

educational contest)
This action is taken for the puipose of protecting legitimate
contestants and preventing the possibility of any speculator from
entering the last day or two and purchasing a $1,000 scholarship
by presenting the names of his friends as new subscribers and
paying for them himself. While nothing of this sort was attempted
last year, the close of the contest demonstrated that it would have
taken much less than $1,000 to have purchased the first special
reward, as the winning contestant had only secured for The
Tribune less than $400 in new subscriptions. The Tribune desires
to protect the contestants that are working so nobly for it and will
use its best endeavor to have every feature of the contest perfectly
fair, and it wishes it distinctly understood that the rewards of
fered are in no sense for sale, but will positively go to the con
testants who secure the largest number of points, which will be
credited only lor new and legitimate subscribers.
The Special Rewards:
Scholarship in Lafayette College $1,000
Scholarship in Swarthmore College 1,000
Scholarship in Stroudsburg Normal School 675
Three Scholarships in Scranton Business
College, $60 Each 180
Two Scholarships in Scranton Conserva
tory of riusic, $75 Each 150
$3,005
Each contestant failing to secure one of these special rewards
will be given ten (10) per cent, of all the money he or she turns in.
N. D. The first two scholarships do net Incl'id mfals, tut thf contestants securing
those will be Klwn tin (10) per cent. n all the money he or she turn, in to The
rrlbuae, to assUt In paying thU expense.
