Manifesto.
Following Is the circuit ,.o the peo
ple: We, the representatives of tho United
MlnT Workers of America, In convention
assembled, fully appreciating tho gicat
responsibility wo owe to our constituents
nnd the vast community of which wo are
n. part, hereby state, for the information
of all who desiro to know, the line of
action wo lmvo determined to pursue In
the present crisis In our affairs, and tho
reasons that have Impelled us to this de
cision. As miners of coal, we view with tho
exalted prldo of a parent tho wonderful
industrial development of the past flf
tcen years, with all tho attending influ
ences upon the civilization of the present
which It has produced, Hut when we
look upon the enormous fortunes that our
labor has made possible, with the In
numerable comforts and luxuries that It
brings to the peoplo Lt large, and then
examine tho paltry ryttaiiee we receive
ns wages for tho labor we have to per
form, tho dangcis wo undergo, tho damp
ness we must endure, tho foul air wo
mist breathe, and the peculiar rheumatio
and lung tumbles, superinduced by them
conditions, which wo must bear, wo
naturally foci that we are being unjust
ly rieolt with in the small amount of this
world's goods which wo receive In return
for so much labor und so many sacri
fices. The great combinations of capital which
control tho coal industry have become so
powerful that no miner can hope,
through his Individual efforts, to secure a
Just shuro of tho wealth which his labor
has produced. The history of Industrial
development In the post has shown that
when capital combines tho workers must
comuine, eise tney win rail one by one,
an unpltlcd sncrlliee In the struggle for
existence. J'op many years the coal
miners of America have been imbued with
the truth of this position.
The extremely low wages paid to an
thracite miners: tho refusal of tho coal
companies to have, tha coal properly
weighed, or permit the mineis to employ
a man, at their own expense, to seo tho
coal they havo mined weighed, measured
or credjted; Uifs great number of hours
the miner must work each day in the
most unsanitary conditions: the cruel and
Unjust manner In which they have been
treated by petty bosses, clothed with a
little brief authority; tho arbitrary as
sumption by he employers that neither
tho miners nor the publlo have any rlghtB
that ore entitled to consideration by
them, havo forced tu to organize, not foi
the purpose of taking from the operatots
that which belongs to them, but for the
purpose of securing, by business methods,
better treatment than wo have received
In the past und fair recompense for our
jabor.
we uuvu sougnt to accomplish this end
APPEAL
1
I
by conciliatory methods, by submitting?!,
disputed points to arbitration, and by
refusal to work upon tho terms offered
us, commonly spoken of ns strikes, when
all other other means of adjusting tho
grievances' complained of havo failed, As
proof of our sincerity, we point to the
joint convention system of adjusting
the wages and conditions of employment
from year to year, which wo have by our
persistent efforts Introduced and llrmly
established In a great mnjorlty of tho
bituminous fields of the United States.
For tivo years we have annually made
contracts In this manner with many of
the bituminous coal operators, and not
withstanding tho allegations that are
persistently made that we are an Irres
ponsible body, we feel proud of tho fact
that, while It may have been to our
llnanctal Interests on many occasions to
cast them nslde, and we were under no
legal obligations to any one, wo havo
faithfully lived up to the letter and spirit
of every contract we hnvo made, nor
shall we violate them now.
One hundred nnd fifty thousand of our
craftsmen In tho anthracite region of
Pennsylvania have sought to secure bet
ter wages nnd relief from many galling
conditions under which they have been
compelled to labor In tho past. They
have tried by every honorable means
known to civilized men to adjust the
grievances with their employers without
resorting to a strike. In this they hnvc
failed becnuso the employers have as
sumed to bo the only parties lntereitcd
In all the unctions Involving tho opera
tion of the mines, a position that has not
been sustained by the conditions existing
since a stoppage of work has taken place.
Some of the coal operators have been
quoted as saying that tho question Is not
ono of wages or other conditions of cm
ployment, but that they believe It to be
an opportune time to destroy the union.
Whether they havo made this statement
or not, tholr actions Indicate that their
purpose Is to destroy our organization.
If it Is the purpose of the coul opera
tors to destroy our union, then upon the
principle that self-preservation Is the first
law of nature, we would be fully Justified
In taking drastic measures to prevent the
accomplishment of their designs. Wc be
lieve wo have within our reach the means
by which that purpose can be thwarted.
No legal power can compel us to work. If
wo desiro to remnln Idle.
Wo believe that our Interests In the
community of which we are a. part, and
our obligations to the operators, with
whom we havo agreements, require that
we shall not inaugurate a general sus
pension of work in the coal trade. They
may destroy our union, hut they cannot
make us violate our contracts.
To Continue Struggle.
The struggle In the anthracite region
will be continued until our demands have
been gianted or a competent board of ar
bitration has declared that we are wrong.
No class of men realizes more than we
do the great power of public opinion.
Jts influence Is potent for good or evil, In
accordance with the manner In which it
Is used. No right can bo secured and
maintained without its support, and no
wrong can ;ong exist thut meets with Its
concentrated opposition.
Realizing this fact, wo appeal to tho
people at huge to bring all possible pres
sure to bear on the ofllcers nnd stock
holders of the anthracite coal-carrying
railroads and other anthracite coal in
terests, to treat considerately tho ap
peals of their employes for arbitration.
The care of 150,000 men and .their fami
lies hi a protracted struggle, such as this
Is likely to be, will require the expendi
ture of a large sum of money In the pur
chaso of food. Our own resources nre
limited. AVo havo levied a largo assess
ment on those of our members who are
at work to assist us in caring for those
who are on strike.
Wo need more money for thnt purpose,
and we appeal to every trade union and
trade unionist, to every citizen whoso In
terests nre Involved, and to every lover
of fair play, to nssist us in raising $1,000,
0U0 per month from outside sources, as
long as the strike may last.
We believe that with this amount of
money, together with tho amount re
ceived from our own members, we can
continue tho struggle until Justice has
been secured for the anthracite miners.

FOUR DAYS ADRIFT
IN MID-ATLANTIC
American Liner Belgenland Breaks
Shaft, but Is Finally Towed in
Safety Into Halifax Harbor.
By Inclusive Wire Ir'om The Associated Press.
Halifax, N. S., July 20 The Ameri
can Line steamer Helgenland, from
Philadelphia for Queenstown and Liver
pool, was brought to this port yester
day In tow of the Harrison Lino
steamer Scholar.
The Belgenland broke her shaft on
July 9 In latitude, 40.57 north, longitude
51.07 west. Four days later In response
to signals of distress, she was picked
up by the Scholar, which was on her
way from Galveston to Liverpool.
The Belgenland has on board 129 first
class and seventy-four sccdnd-class
passengers und all were reported well.
The accident caused little excitement.
When the shaft broke on July 9, the
engineer made repairs by placing sheet
bunds over tho shaft. Tho machinery
was then started. In half an hour the
bands broke and the steamer was again
helDloss.
Further efforts to make repairs were
fruitless and for the next four days the
steamer lay drifting, while constant
watch was maintained for a vessel. No
rough weather was encountered. Twice
u distant craft was seen and signals
were made, but apparently they were
not seen fop no help came.
On Sunday, July 13, at 2 a, m., a light
was sighted and four rockets were sent
up. They wcro seen and soon the
Scholur was steaming alongside.
When the Scholar's captain learned
of the situation he decided to abandon
his voyage and tow the disabled vessel
to Halifax.

Harbor Pleasure Parties in Small
Boats Roughly Handled Many
Pathetic Incidents Effect of Storm
in Other Places.
! Exclusive Wire Irom The Associated Prtss.
Baltimore, Md July 20. A Herce
tornudo, characterized ny a wind storm
of extraordinary velocity, thunder, viv
id lightning and a heavy rain, suddenly
burst upon Baltimore at 1.30 p. m. to
day, coming from the southwest, with
the net result that eleven persons lost
their lives, hundreds of houses were
unroofed, trees In the public parks and
streets were torn up by the roots, many
buildings damaged and several people
injured. The storm exhausted its fury
in less than fifteen minutes. Tho dam
age done In the business part of the
city was comparatively slight, being
confined to the blowing down of signs
and injuries to roofs. It was In the
portions of the city along the river
front and in the harbor where the wind
spent Its violence.
The Dead.
Of those who perished nine were
drowned In the harbor from open boats,
one was killed by a falling tree and one
by a live wire. The following Is a list
of the killed:
Drowned in the harbor

Tho boy killed by a live wire had, in
company with two other, boys, gone
into a shed for protection, when the
shed blew down and a live wire fell on
one of them, resulting in his death.
Pathetic Incident.
The drowning of Mrs. Schuler nnd her
children was the most pathetic incident
of the hurricane. Michael Schuler, with
his wife and three children, accom
panied by his brother-in-law, Joseph
Cooper, nnd his wife, had gone out Into
the harbor for a sail In a thirty-foot
boat. When the storm came, Schuler
and Cooper took In sails. Schuler sent
his wife and children Into the little
cabin, and he stood at the tiller to keep
the vessel's head toward the wind. A
sudden gust of wind threw the boom of
the vessel around, knocked Schuler
down nnd pinned him to the deck. An
other gust capsized the boat, releasing
Schuler, who, with Cooper und his wife,
wore thrown Into tho water, leaving
Mrs, Schuler and her children pinned In
tho cabin. Cooper saved himself and
his wife by hanging to the bottom of
the overturned boat, and Schuler saved
himself In the same way, after making
frantic efforts to get at his Imprisoned
wife and children. A crew from tho
schooner Edward H, Hunt rescued
Schuler and Cooper and wife nnd towed
tho capsized vessel to the wharf, where
It was righted and the dead bodies of
Mrs. Srhuler and her three children
taken from the cabin.
Thomas Carroll with four other young
men were out In the harbor in a row
boat, which was capsized. Carroll was
drowned, while his four companions
clung to the rudder of the steamship
Chathami from which perilous position
they wero rescued by a tug.
Camp Meeting Victims.
A colored camp meeting was In pro
gress In Paradise grove, near Powhat
tan, on tho Liberty road. The congre
gation had Just been dismissed when
the storm broke. A huge oak tree fell
upon the tent In which the services had
been held, Sevornl of the worshippers
were caught beneath It as It fell, The
tree hud to be sawed Into pieces before
the Imprisoned men and women could
be released. William Cornish was
crushed to death by the falling tree.
The others were not seriously Injured,
A hole several feet In diameter was
blown In tho wall of St, Mary's Star of
the Sea Catholic church, In South Balti
more, A portion of tho stone cornice,
weighing more than a ton, fell to the
street. Fortunately no one was Injured
by the falling stone and brick, The
damage to the church Is estimated at
$7,000,
While the storm was at Its height a
boat's crew from the German steamer
Breslau, at anchor In the harbor,
picked up two men from a boat which
had been capsized off Wolf street. '
At the foot of Concord street the
Merchant and Miners' Transportation
company's house was unroofed, with
small damage to building, but the rain
poured In on tho valuable cargo stored
therein, doing a damage which Is esti
mated from $100,000 to $300,000.
Gas Exploded.
The gas reservoir in South Baltimore,
tiontuining about 300,000 feet of gas, was
blown over, the gas exploding, without
Injuring anyone, tho damuge being
placed ut $15,000.
Tho damage to the shipping In the
harbor was general, but not of a seri
ous nature, Including such as the rip
ping of sails and the loss of masts and
spars.
The weather bureau hero reports that
It wits more In the nature of a whirl
wind than a tornado. The wind blew
ut tho rate of sixty-four miles an hour
und tho rainfall was fifty-six one hun
dredths of an Inch. The first Indication
of tho storm wus apparent nt 12.25 p.
m, nnd tho sun reappeared nt 1.45. Re
ports from outlying districts are
meagre, but so far as known tho storm
was confined to Baltimore and suburbs.
Great Loss in Iowa.
Keokuk, Iowa, July 20. Exploration
of the flooded districts of the Missis
sippi river from Keokuk south shows
conditions beyond tho appreciation or
realization of any but those of long ex
perience with the Father of Waters in
Its most destructive mood.
The situation Is growing worse hour
ly and a great conflagration would not
be more rapidly destructive. There Is
not the slightest chance of stopping this
most costly flood in the history of the
great river.
The correspondent of the Associated
Press went all over the worst damaged
area today In the steamer Silver Cres
cent and found everywhere the great
est crops ever known under water deep
enough (o float a steamboat. People at
the river cities give accounts of losses
aggregating many millions of dollars.
Hundreds of farmers rich ten days ago
are penniless and homeless.
Careful estimates gathered from the
Statements of best Informed people In
dicate the loss up to today Is about six
million dollars, with every prospect of
two or three millions additional by the
rise above, not yet reaching the lower
stretches of the river.
Most of this loss is on the Missouri
side of the river between Keokuk and
Hannibal.
Storm in New York State.
Bhighamton, N. Y., July 20. The
heavy rains prevailing In this section
for the past few days reached a climax
last night, when three separate cloud
bursts occurred within the limits of
Broome county and several in sur
roupndlng territory to the northward,
breaking mill dams, washing out rail
way tracks and highway bridges and
doing much other damage, besides de
laying trains. Four persons are dead
and two are seriously Injured. The
lots to property will reach $200,000.
The dead are: James Cook and wife,
drowned at Afton, Chenango county;
the 6-month-old child of Mr. and Mrs.
Cook, and Michael J. Ryan, of this city,
killed In washout.
The seriously Injured are: Engineer

FORT LEAVENWORTH
SOLDIERY AROUSED
The Stabbing of a Comrade in a
Negro Joint Brings on an In
cipient Blot.
By i.xclusio Wire from The Associated Press.
Leavenworth, Kan., July 20. The in
cipient riot, started late last night by
several hundred soldiers from Fort
Leavenworth.who demolished the house
of a negro In the lower quarter of the
city, following the stabbing of Eli
Loucke, a cavalryman, by an Inmate of
the place, ended quietly soon after mid
night and today all was quiet. A com
pany of the Fourth cavalry arrived
soon after midnight and rounded up
those soldiers who had not voluntarily
returned to the post. Today Loucke
was reported to have a chance of re
covery. The groups of soldiers continue to
discuss the trouble and there were
threats to finish up tonight the work
of last night, but It Is believed no
further trouble will occur unless Loucke
should die. The general sentiment Is
with the soldiers and there Is some talk
of organizing a vigilance committee to
drive out the tough characters and
thugs, unless the police shall take de
cisive action In that direction.
