COAL AND IRON POLICE
Hp Characterises the Action of Com

By Kxiluslre Wire from The Associated Pros'!.
'wilkes-Barre, Pa., June 3. There
were no developments or Incidents of
special mention In the anthrnclte coal
miners' strike today. The mine work
ers tried hard to bring out additional
engineers, firemen and pumprunners,
and the companies were equally earn
est In their efforts to hold the employes
that have remained loval to them.
The union succeeded In jotting out
quite a number of men, and tonight
labor leaders assert that they are sat
isfied with the day's work. One or two
collieries were compelled to shut down
their pumps because of a lack of men,
but in all other cases the operators
were able to fill the vacancies by draw
ing on their reserve force of office and
other employes. The mine owners
claim that thus far they have employed
a very few non-union men, and have
plenty of workers to draw on
Objects to Police Protection.
President Mitchell said today:
In view of nil the predictions of trouble
yesterday. I consider the fact that the
strikers kept the peace perfectly a grcr.
victory for organized labor. X have n.v
peeted no trouble, and I still feel confi
dent that the men will respect my re
quests and act within the law.
It' Is queer to s-eo a lot of men, the ma
jority of whom are absolutely Irresponsi
ble persons, garbed In the blue and brass
of coal and Iron police, stalking about the
mines with guns In arm, while tho htrlk
eis without have no thought of damaging
tho property of their employers. Tho
power vested In tlicso coal and iron police
Is not generally known. They aro as
much the private standing army of the
operators as were tho slaves of the feudal
barons. A ridiculous state law. which, has
been taken advantage of by tho anthra
cite operators, has mado it possible for
them at such a time as this to arm a mob
of disreputable men who will Incite more
troublo than they will prevent.
In the strike two years ago these men
actually vl.slted the homes of htrlkcrs and
compelled tho poor, ignorant fellowh by a
show of authority 'and brass buttons to
report to work at collieries against their
will. The state fosters this system that
might well shumo tho most tyranulo.il
Russian laws.
A coal and Iron policeman has the pow
er of a. Philadelphia policeman, and ho Is
responsible to the operator who pays him.
if over thpre was a law on the books
of a free country that should bo wlp"d
out, it is the statute'that created tho coal
and iron police,
T have looked Into this matter tho past
week and have had ads-Ice upon it. I pro
pose to tako active measures.
The entire coal belt remains compara
tively quiet, although disturbances of
a minor nature are becoming more fre
quent. These affairs aro in the nature
of demonstrations ranging in numbers
from about a dozen persons up to about
100. At Miners Mills this morning and
this evening men and women gathered
on the street corners and hooted the
men that came from the mines to go to
their homes. At Plymouth also, this
evening, there was a small demonstra
tion against those still working at the
engines and pumps in the collieries
there. About 100 men, women and chil
dren followed the workers to their
homes, calling them "scabs" all along
the way. Many of the workers who go
to their homes are accompanied by coal
and Iron policemen. The latter have
been cautioned not to notice the actions
of the crowds unless they attempt to
do the men bodily harm. In nearly
every colliery temporary living quar
ters have been provided for those em
ployes who do not care to leave the
place. Colored cooks are being brought
into the region to provide for these
men.
Mitchell Complimented Strikers.
President Mitchell tonight gave out
the following statement:
Detailed reports from all quartern of tho
nnthrnelto Held indicate that tho numlni'
of engineers, firemen and pumpmen who
censed work yesterday was considerably
Increased today and tho probabilities aro
that It will bo further augmented today.
Thero have been no violations of law on
the part of tho strikers and our predic
tions mado last week, tliaUtlui mini work
ers would bo law-abiding, havo been moro
than verified by tho events of yesterday
and today.
Tho coal striko Is remarknblo In many
jet, poets. Were It not for, the fact that
tho coal companies have a veritable army
of private gmirds and coal and Iron po
Jlco employed, thero yould bono ex
todor evidence that a great Industrial
contest was being waged.
We aro sure that tho splendid conduct
of (he men and boys who ore engaged hi
this great, silent and passive struggle for
at least 'a small sharo of bur country's
prosperity must commend itself to all
well disposed persons.
President Mitchell went to Scranton
tonight with District President Nlch
oils. Mr. Mitchell said his visit there
was for the purpose of conferring with
tho leaders In that vicinity.
At the Stanton colliery of the Lehigh
and Wilkes-Barre company today, an
employe came out of the colliery for
the purpose of buying meat for to
night's Bupper for the men inside tho
works. When his errand became
known a crowd gathered and he was
driven back to the mine, There was
a cutting affray at Edwardsvllle, late
this afternoon. A striker hung an ef
fln: of one of tho workmen on a tele
graph pole, and when the victim of
the prank, n Hungarian, learned of the
prank, he sought out the man and
stabbed him In the nrm. The Hungar
ian wan soon followed by a crowd
which stoned him. He was slightly In
jured. At 13nst End, the father of a young
man who did not quit work, became
enraged because his son was Interfered
with, and In his anger the father shot
into a crowd. He was rescued by
police' and taken to the Wilkes-Barre
city hall and locked up. There were
a number of other smaller disturbances
reported, but they could not be con
firmed. At Hazleton.

IRISH-AMERICANS
MEET AT CHICAGO
Bourke Cockran Protests Against
Coercion in' Ireland 8,000
People Listen.
By Exclusive Wire from Tlic Associated Press.
Chicago, June 3. The meeting of the
Irish-Americans of Chicago, at the au
ditorium tonight to protest against the
coercion laws In force In nine counties
of Ireland was perhaps the largest dem
onstration of its kind every held in
this city.
Bourke Cockran was the principal
speaker and about 8,000 persons joined
In applauding his speech. Crowds
thronged the avenues outside unable to
gain admission.
Colonel John F. Finerty, president of
the United Irish League, called the
meeting to order. Thomas A. Moran,
former judge of the circuit court, pre
sided. Judges, clergymen, bankers and
men prominent in every department of
the city's life occupied places on the
platform.
Mr. Corkran said in part:
Coercion as applied to tho Irish pcoplo
is the exclusion of that people from tho
exercise and enjoyment of civilized gov
ernment. It is tho suspension of tho or
dinary law and it means ttjc government
of tho pcoplo by extraordinary law. Tho
ordinary law is the law that civilization
has adopted fcr the protection of llto
and property and tho encouragement of
industry. Any other law which civiliza
tion has rejected Is not conductive to these
ends. Now, in Ireland tho government ac
cuses an Irishman of some act which it
may consider in opposition to or a criti
cism of public measures. Ho is tried, not
before any impartial court, but before
removable magistrates removable by the
government itself, so tho accuser and the
judge practically aru appointed by the
samo forces. Similarly every other ele
mentary law of human kind has been de
died the Irish.
Tho primary object of this meeting is
to make It possible for you, fellow citi
zens, to look carefully Into the tacts and
seo to what extent InjusifEe has been and
is being dono the Irishstation; to protest
against English rulqj? to Inquire what
England further pioposes regarding Ire
land, and to say what wo ask the civil
ized world to condemn.
Ireland is tire only country In which the
people own neither the land upon which
nor laws under which they live. In Ire
land, tho owners of tho soil never lived
on It and never saw it, but obtain and
retain ownership by a sort of confiscation.
Tho property of the Irish people has
been stilled by tho unreasonable demands
of England and this policy the English
officials are endeavoring to pursue by co
ercion. Tho Irish havo shown their industrial
capacity at homo and In every country in
which thoy havo gone, and If tills bo the
caso under adverso conditions at homo
and In foreign lands, how much moio
then would It bo shown In their own land,
owned nnd governed by themselves. Thoy
certainly would bo able to restore In Ire
land tho prosperity they havo achioved
In other countries.
Their demand is bused upon Justice nnd
If there Is any ono truth taught by the
unbroken history of mankind, It Is that
a question of justice cannot bo settled un
til it Is settled right, a demand based on
Justlco must bo conceded sooner or later.
If tho American people in their might
shall rise up and say tho Irish rasuo is
just, Ireland wll be restored. As Amorl
lenns, wo cannot but bellevo that Provl
doncco has intended that American pcoplo
shall be tho Instrument through which
this Justlco shall bo accomplished.

London, June 3. Replying to a ques
tion in the House of Commons today,
the war secretary, Mr. Brodrlck, said
the total number of Boer prisoners in
South Africa and elsewhere was L'5,G6u,
of which 783 were under sixteen and
1,025 were more than-sixty years of age.
King Edward wljl attend a peace
thanksgiving service in St. Paul's
cathedral. Sunday, June S. The lord
mayor, Sir Joseph C. Dlmsdale, and
the members of the corporation will bo
present in state.
Judging from the opinions of public
men, and from the editorial articles
which havo appeared in the London
newspapers, the terms of peace appear
to meet with approval from all sides,
but the extremists of both the Jingo
and the pro-Boer parties find- some
thing to cavil at. The Daily Chronicle
in Its Issue of this morning remarks:
"The close of the war has converted
us all to pro-Boerlsm. England, as a
whole, has taken her triumph as she
took her disaster; namely, with a sob
riety and a discretion which should help
our former enemies over the remaining
rough places to lasting friendship."
This is the spirit in which the terms
of peace are criticized, and every one
recognizes them to be reasonable and
generous. The Daily News, a pro-Boer
paper, calls it "peace with reason," and
says: "We sincerely congratulate the
government upon a diplomatic achieve
ment which, in every detail, stands out
In solitary contrast to its past record of
blunders and confusion. It is a repeti
tion of the Mlddlebii-g negotiations,
without the desolating Interference of
the colonial secretary, and with a much
freer hand to Lord Kitchener. It Is
the victory of a single man, who, al
though a soldier by trade, has outshone
the politicians In their own sphere."
The moderate newspapers of both
political parties have nothing but sat
isfaction to express.
King Congratulates Kitchener.
London, June 3. King Edward has
cabled his congratulations on the con
clusion of peace to Lord Kitchener and
Lord Mllner, the British high commis
sioner in South Africa. The text of the
royal dispatch to Lord Mllner is as fol
lows: "I am overjoyed at the news of the
surrender of the Boers, and I warmly
congratulate you on the able manner
in which you have conducted the nego
tiations." To this message Lord Milner replied:
"I offer my deepest thanks for your
majesty's gracious message. I am pro
foundly thankful that your majesty's
coronation will be celebrated with
peace throughout your South African
dominions."
The following is tho text of King Ed
ward's dispatch to Lord Kitchener:
"I send you my most hearty con
gratulations on the termination of hos
tilities. I also heartily congratulate my
brave troops under your command for
having brought this long and difficult
campaign to so glorious and successful
a conclusion."
To this message Lord Kitchener re
plied: "The army In South Africa highly
appreciates your majesty'B most graci
ous message, which I am now com
municating' to it. I humbly beg to
thank your majesty."
Contrary to custom, the house of
lords will hold a sitting tomorrow to
receive a message from King Edward
with reference to peace in South Africa.
It is expected that this message will
announce tho conferring of a title upon
Lord Kitchener and the granting to
him of a reward for his services, The
money reward will probably be $100,000.

OF RIOTERS
The Chicago Packing House
Teamsters Keep the
Police Busy.
By Exclusn e Wire from The Associated Tress.
Chicago, June 3. Chicago's police
were given a strenuous life today by
the striking packing house teamsters.
Prom daylight this morning until long
after dark tonight the bluccoats were
kept busy dispersing trouble makers,
who congregated along the streets and
In every conceivable manner placed ob
stacles In the way of the meat dealers
who endeavored to move their supplies
with non-union drivers. In spite of
the striking teamsters and their friends,
thirty-three wagon loads of meat were
delivered from the stock yards to down
town stations. Before the task was ac
complished, however, a score of po
licemen and rioters had been injured
and fully fifty persons had been placed
under arrest. Several of the Injured
were in such a serious condition that
they were taken to hospitals. Two of
the Injured may die.
When the procession of wagons left
the packing houses they were guarded
by ti heavy detail of police. Ai soon
as the wagons emerged at the entrance
of the yards, fully five hundred en
raged strike sympathizers made a rush
to overturn the conveyances. The po
licemen drew clubs and after a hard
struggle succeeded In scattering the
mob. A fresh start was made, but be
fore tho wagons reached the downtown
district, the mob, augmented by hun
dreds of sympathizers, mado another
attack. In the right that followed, re
volvers were drawn. No person was
shot, the police Instead using their clubs
indiscriminately and a dozen or more
people were hurt before tho march
could be resumed. When the central
portion of the city was reached, clashes
between the police and the crowd be
came numerous. Street car traffic was
an impossibility and it was necessary
for several squads of police to charge
the crowds with batons before the wag
ons had reached the various downtown
houses.
To add to tho burdens of the police
1,300 drivers and their helpers em
ployed by the State street general retail
department stores went on a strike to
day. Before the project of using non
union men was abandoned, several riot
ers wero hurt and many arrests had
been made.

Dealers in Baltimore Have Hardly
a Week's Supply The Supply
at Reading.
Dy Inclusive Wire from The Associated Press.
Baltimore, Md., June 3. The coal
dealers of this city report that there is
hardly a week's supply of anthracite
coal In Bultlmore. None Is coming to
the city now, on account of the striko
of the miners, und none can bo secured
by tho dealers. Demand for soft coat
has grown considerably as a result of
the scarcity of the hard coal, and In
conspquence tho price of soft conl has
also been advanced. Much soft coal Is
also being shipped to New York and
other northern cities by Maryland com
panies and this In turn Is causing a
shortage of the supply.
For three weeks now not n carload of
coal consigned to a Baltimore dealer
lias arrived here. No orders for moro
than a ton of coal will bo filled by the
lurge dealers.
Reudlng, June 3. Inquiry Into tho
subject this afternoon elicited the fact
that the stock of coal at the leading
manufacturing plants In the Schuylkill
valley Is surprisingly low. A few fur
naces have sufficient to keep them
going for several months. Others, how
ever, could not run more than a week
or two without being compelled to bank
up their stacks. Unusually big ship
ments of soft coal are expected from
Western Pennsylvania and Virginia
within the next few days to relieve the
situation,
