NO STRIKE IN BITUMINOUS FIELD.
CONTRACTS WILL STAND.
President Mitchell Asks Financial
Support Only—Miners Will Give
Ten Per Cent of Wages.
The first day's session Thursday of
the extracrdinary convention of the |
United Mine Workers of America|
demonstrated that the crisis has been |
passed and the possibility of a na-
tional strike, affecting about 409,000
miners throughout the mining regions
of the country, has been eliminated.
Following a course that was not alto- |
gether unexpected, immediately after
the routine business preliminary to
the actual work of the assembly was
disposed of, President Mitchell, in an
address representing his own convic-
tions, practically gave voice to the |
keynote of the convention's senti- |
ment. He said in part: “My views
are not in accord with those of some,
to declare a general strike. I have,
in all my career in labor work, de-
clared that contracts should be kept |
as long as their lives last. Any ad-|
vantages gained in breaking contracts |
result in disaster. Such a course
would destroy confidence and “array |
against our cause all classes of so-
ciety. As far as my knowledge goes, |
1 do not know of one solitary sym- |
pathetic strike of any magnitude |
which has been successful. On the
contrary, the most conspicuous among |
the sympathetic labor struggles have
resulted in ignominious and crushing
defeat, not only for the branch of in-
dustry originally involved, but also
for the divisions participating
through sympathy. In my judgment
the United Mine Workers should not
repeat the mistakes which, like mile-
stones, mari the path trod by the toil-
ing masses in their never-ceasing
struggle for better and higher civili-
zation. This, like all great progres-
sive movements, has met with rd- |
pulse, but, gathering new strength in |
adversity, moves forward and onward
again in its march to ultimate victory.
I am firm in my conviction that the |
strike in the anthracite field can and |
will be won without repudiating our |
solemn contracts with the bituminous
operators, provided the bituminous
miners will rise to the occasion and
do their full duty by their struggling
fellow-workers; and with this in mind
I submit for your consideration the
following specific recommendations:
“An appropriation of $50,000 from the
national funds to be placed at the
disposal of Districts 1, 7 and 9. All
district, sub-district and local unions
will be appealed to to donate from
their treasury surplusses as large |
amounts as possible. An assessment |
of not less than $1 a week be levied
on ad members of local unions, the
amount to be collected at the earliest
possible moment and forwarded to the
national treasurer. An assessment of
?5 per cent be levied on all national,
district and sub-district officers whose
salaries amount to $60 a month or!
more. That all American trade unions
and the general public be appealed to
for financial assistance to carry the
strike to a successful issue. Although
the utmost secrecy surrounded the
meeting, it was learned upon high au-
thority that the anthracite miners
finally voted to approve President
care of the national organization now
will be to see to the collection of the
defense fund. Secretary Wilson, who
is the financial head of the union, will
be in charge of this work. It is be-
lieved that all the voluntary contribu-
tions from the various districts and
sub-districts and local organizations
will be turned into his hands within
the next ten days. These contribu-
tions are estimated at about $400,000.
A systematic method will be adopted
for canvassing outside subscriptions
in the large cities. The miners hope
to raise $250,000 a week for the pub-
lic contributions, as that much will be
needed to bring the sum up to $500,000.

Unless the vatican accepts this gov-
ernment’s terms Governor Taft will

In the Daly-West mine between
100 and 150 men were at work. In
the Ontario were nearly 100 it is be-
It is not known how many of
these are dead, but the disaster ex-
tends to the Ontario, as the noxious
gases that have been freed are known
to be the cause of several of the
deaths. The presence of these gases
leads many miners to believe that the
powder was burned and that the ex-
plosion was not the chief cause of the
disaster. The explosion was so tre-
mendous that it awakened everyone
within a radius of miles. As an ex-
ample of its awful force it is said that
| two horses in the ore tunnel one and
a half miles away were killed by it.
Members of a relief party who went
into the Ontario mine shortly after
the explosion after several hours ab-
sence had not returned and fears were
entertained for their safety. At the
last report it was stated that there
were thought to be 105 men still in
the workings. McKeaghlin, one of the
rescuers, who went down the second
time to help, died on being brought
to the surface. He was asphyxiated.
James Smith, a member of the rescu-
ing party who went down, died soon
after noon. Jack Balton, a Silver
King, miner, who also went down with
rescuers, is unconscious and ex-
pected to die. The condition of the
gas in the mine is such that the res-
cue work was abandoned for several
hours to allow the gases to escape.
Experienced miners say that Jchn
Burgy, the “powder money,” was a
green man and should not have han-
dled explosives. A rescue party found
a hand and foot, presumably those of
Burgy.
CHICAGO STRIKE ENDED.
Three Large Roads Settle With Men—
Others Wiil Follow.
At a conference at Chicago between
a committee representing the men in
the I.ake Shore freight houses and
the officials of the road a settlement
of the difference was effected. The
adjustment of the controversy was
of
the State Board of Arbitration. The
basis of the settlement for wages
was: Check, transfer and receiving
clerks for first three months; $535;
check, transfer and receiving stocks
after first three months, $60; delivery
clerks for first three months, $50, and
after that period, $55; stores, per
hour, for first three months, 18 cents;
cents;
callers, first three months, 17 cents,
and after that 18 cents per . hour;
truckers, per hour, first three months,
15 cents, and after, three montths, 17
cents. The officials of the Northwest-
ern and the Nickel Plate roads also
held conferences with committees of
their men, and agreements were
reached similar to that of the Lake
Shore.
MAINE A FAST SHIP.
New Sea Fighter Attained High Speed
in Preliminary Trial.
The new battleship Maine, built by
the Cramps to replace the ill-fated
Maine, returned to Philadelphia after
a satisfactory builders’ trial at sea.
The new war vessel proved herself
to be a very speedy ship for her size,
she averaging 18.29 knots an hour
over a measured course. Her contract
calls for a speed of 18 knots. In a
preliminary run the Maine attained
a speed of 19.25 knots an hour, which
she maintained for a period of 30. min-
utes,

CASSATT SPLITS WITH GOULD.
Resigns From the Directorate of His
Opponent’s Trust Company.
A. J. Cassatt, president of the Penn-
sylvania Railroad Company, has re-
signed as a director of the Mercantile
Trust Company, of New York. The
resignation is regarded as significant,
owing to its connection with what has
transpired hetween Pennsylvania and
Gould interests in the dissolution of
relations between the Pennsylvania
railroad and the Western Union Tele-
graph Company and the plans of the
Wabash to secure a Pittsburg connec-
tion to the seaboard. The Mercan-
tile Trust Company has for many
years been regarded as fiscal agent
for the Gould properties, George J.
Gould being prominent in the manage-
ment.
Baer Has Resigned.
John Willis Baer, secretary of the
United Society of Christian Endeavor,
at Boston, Mass., has tendered his
resignation, to take effect October 1,
and has accepted a position as as-
sistant secretary of the Presbyterian
Board of Home Missions. Mr, Baer
begins his new work in New York Oc-
tober 1.
Hibernians Strong in Numbers.

ship in America is 107,577, an increase
of 7.222 since the last meeting. "The
disbursements have been $930,336, and
there is now in the treasury $1,076,018.

HAST 18. DIVIDED N THREE PARIS
NEW RAILROAD MAP.
Harmony Assured—Fight Between
Pennsylvania, New York Central
and Gceulds at an End.
The railroad territory of the coun-
try has been divided. Agreement has
been reached between the managers
of the New York Central, the Pennsyl-
vania and the Goulds whereby the
fight has ended between the two for-
mer systems and the Goulds. The con-
flict, which threatened to upset the
railroad and telegraph business of
the country, has been stopped abrupt-
ly, and the Gould system will be ex-
tended to the Atlantic seaboard. In-
stead of two parts, the East has now
been divided into three. The an-
nouncement of the agreement among
these interests is the most important
railroad item since it was announced
on December 5, 1898, that harmonious
relations had been established be-
tween the New York Central and the
Pennsylvania. The agreement Dbe-
came necessary when the Goulds de-
cided to extend their system to the
Atlantic seaboard. The entrance of
that system into the Eastern or trunk
line field upset the whole railroad
situation. The fight that began then
has been bitter, and has caused an
under-current of alarm throughout
financial and railroad circles. Public
attention was attracted when Qn-
nouncement came that the Goulds’
Wabash system would extend its line
to Pittsburg, a point where the rail-
road rate situation had been dominat-
ed by the Pennsylvania. This plan
was decided on when the fight be-
tween Andrew Carnegie and the Penn-
sylvania was at its height, and before
the United States Steel Corporation
was formed. The new agreement as
to the division of the territory makes
a railroad map that is full of interest,
even to the person not familiar with
railroad ownership and control. First
as to importance and novelty is the
entrance of the Goulds in the Eastern
railroad situation. They control sys-
tems with large \mileage in the West
and Southwest." and are closely iden-
tified with the Harriman lines of rail-
roads. This insures an extension of
the “community of interest” not only
in the East, but alzo in the West and
Southwest; in fact, across the con-
tinent. The Goulds union with the
Pennsylvania and the New York Cen-
tral, in both of which case J. Pier-
pont Morgan is interested, insures
more perfect harmony among all the
railroads of the country than was
ever possible before. In short, it ap-
pears that almost a perfect railroad
understanding has been arrived at.
