Railroad Presidents Meet at New York and Put Up a Bold Front—Guard Shoots and Kills His Companion. Tho anthracite operators, while say ing they are not worried by the proposed departure of the adult mine workers, for whom the soft coal men and other unions can obtain work, are very much disturbed by the prospect, which means that unless they give In and grant con cessions the mines must remain Idle. Many labor men are of the opinion that the proposed plan will prove the most effective yet conceived In bringing the strike to an end, while the business men are hoping that tho efforts of all who havo Influence with tho operators will bo redoubled In order to got them to grant concessions or submit tho dispute to arbitration. President Mitrhpll Is expected to re turn to Wllkesbarre tomorrow. Moan while the district committees will ar range the plans for distributing the re lief fund to the locals, and the locals will appoint the several committees re quired to take charge of tho work of distributing supplies. There are several questions for tho board to sottle regarding the amount to be Issued, tho number ellgiblo to relief, and tho way It shall be given. Some of tho incn make objections to the proposed plan of tho locals giving out provisions and would rather havo the money direct, while merchants who have bceu carrying tho miners on thoir books since the strike began believe the men should havo tho privilege of pur chasing where they like. As It Is evident that by buying In bulk from tho wholesalers the local unions can save money, It Is considered prob able that this will be done. Several contributions for the strlko fund were received yesterday by Secre tary Wilson, at Indianapolis. District 13, lowa, sent $5,000; tho Boilermakers and Iron Shipbuilders' National Union sent $518; local union of Mine Workers, of Glofi Carbon, 111., $500; local union of Jackson Hill, Ind., $200; Districts, 111.. $100; local union at Rosedale, Ind., SSO. OPERATORS' MEETING. The weekly meeting of tho presidents of the coal carrying companies was held yostorday at New York. Tho confer ence lasted over two hours, during which the strike situation was discussed In all its phases. Tho railroad presi dents agreed that John Mitchell would not bd able to make the strike fund & success, and therefore decidod to keep up tho waiting policy until the strikers return to work. Almost overy railroad had a representative at the meeting. After the ponfornnce Mr. Baer. said: BREVITIES. Tho musket used by Major John I'.ut trick at the fCortli bridge, In Concord, on April 19, 1775, has been presented by his two great-grandchildren, the only remaining members of the family, to the state of Massachusetts, and It Is to be deposited in the statehouse ill Boston for permanent preservation.

CASTOR IA For Infants and Children. The Kind You Have Always Bought Bears the ' Signature of f'O&JU'i/. FREELAND, PA., WEDNESDAY, JULY 23, 1902. "What wo did today Is of no interest whatevor to the public." President Fowler said: "Tho policy of tho operators does not contemplate any attempt at bro&king the strlko by a resumption of work at the present time. We are rather inclined to wait until the minors grow tired of the strike and re turn to work of their own volition, as they will ultimately do." It was learned from others present that the railroad presidents have decided on a waiting policy. According to tho operators, they do not believe that the miners will bo able to collect a fund of $500,000 evory week with which to pay tho sttrlkors, as had been arranged by the Indianapolis convention. They say that It was one thing to make pledges and another tiling to keep them. They are of the opinion that the strike fund will last one or two weeks, and that will be the end of it. They also said that when the strikers would ascertain that thoy would receive no money thoy would return to work. GUARD SHOOTS COMPANION. James Thompson, a coal guard at the No. 9 colliery of tho Lehigh and Wllkes barre Coal Company, at Sugar Notch, was shot and Instantly killed yesterday by Edward Jones, a fellow guard, who says the shooting was accidental.

One was jammed, and in trying to get It out tho trlggor fell. Thompson, who walking across a trestlo forty yards away, was shot through the right breast and killed. Both men came from Philadelphia, and Thompson lias a wife and two chil dren there. Coal Mine for Sale.

Famous Episcopal Minister Expands the Avowed Pos ition of the Spokesman of the Coal Kings. In the current Issue of tho Episcopal Recorder, of Philadelphia, Rev. Henry McCrea contributes an article under tho caption of "Tho Coal Barons' Creed." Ho takes the statement of President Baer, of tho Reading Railroad, that "anthracite mining is a business and not a religious or sentimental proposi tion," and says: "This is a magnificently condensod statement of the Operators' Creed, a creed which is substantially hold today by all tho great controllers of the natural resources of the earth. Wo suggest tho following expanded state ment of tho principle, for tho dutiful consideration of mankind: "The coal mines of Pennsylvania are our property. We are working them neither for scntimont nor religion. It is a matter of pure business, outside the pale of moral considerations. Wo aro digging the anthracite hills to find gold, not bibles. The happiness or misery of tho men we employ is of no concern to our stockholders. To mix up business with humanity is tho short road to bankruptcy. We are not pos ing as philanthropists; wo are dlggors of coal. If a few thousand minors, morn or less, aro choked by fire-damp or emaciated by starvation that Is their lookout." "There are few prizes in life's grim game, and most men must bo satisfied to draw a blank. Pain, woariness and stupified lives aro In tho structure of things. We aro not here to alter these Iron conditions, but taking thorn as thoy are, wo press on to tho golden mile post. The stern vordict of history is "right forever on tho scaffold, wrong forever on tho throne." Lot tho world under stand that the anthracito operators aro not going into partnership with truth on a scaffold. FATK OF REFORMERS. "We control dollars and cannon, and theso aro tho twin forces that subjugate tho earth. Many a reformer has im molated his lifo on tho altar of his con victions, only to find a barren grave. ThoGraachi defied tho Roman oligarchy, and perished by the spears of the system they assailed. John the Baptist tried to reform the morals of Herod, and mot his death In the royal dungeon, under tho blacks rocks of Makor. History tells of a youthful Galilean, to whom Satau offered tho kingdoms of tho world In a moment of time. In Ilis high enthusiasm lie madly refused tho offer, and ended his life in disastrous ecllpso, on the skull.shaped mound of Golgotha. "Away, then, with sentiment from tho halls of the anthracite legislation. Napolean Bonaparte was right, that Providence Is on the sido of tho strong est battalions. Wc shall moot tho hun gry, wistful oyes of atraving families, with linos of bristling stool. Tho baronial castle has crumbled, and the feudal serf Is gone, but tho inonoy king still can roar his moats and towers over tho dark veins of anthracito wealth. "Are there children growing lip around our collieries stunted by half nourishment, brutalized by Ignorance, ruinod by poverty? What is that to us? Wo are thoro for business, and deal not in sentiment or religion. Shall we de stroy tho golden posibilitios of the hour and lower tho market value of our stocks and bonds, by diverting capital to tho uplifting of men? Nay! Bo firm, brother stockholder, and strengthen your hand of steol. Build higher your linos of barbed-wire fences, set your cameras and flashlights for an attack on tho stockade, dig deeper into tho en trails of tho anthracito mountains, and, though cemeteries line your track, march on to victory under the golden star. BUSINESS AND HUMANITY. "Preachers tells us that God is watch ing the world, but wo see no track of his footsteps, save on the far distant sands. Wo aro dealing with tho present that wo know and wo leave the misty future to the pilots of the skies. We will rake in our golden pile before the sunset, and take our chances on the last fires. Tho earth belongs to the skies of mauiinon— for business and humanity are forever divorced. This Is the Creed of the Coal Barons, and where is the power that is able to dislodge us from our intronch ments in the anthracite hills? "As we ponder on this Creed, there TR I-WEEKLY JUDGE CLANCY Of Hornellsville, N. Y., Hands Down An Important Decision. In tho caso of L)r. David Kennedy's Favorite Remedy against Blood and Liver trouble, Judge H. Clancy of Horn ellsville, N.

It pictures tho Conquorors of the Ages riding abreast down the road of time. Behind them, as far as the eye can reach, Is a forest of bristling spears. From tho plundered treasure house of tho Persian kings, Alexander rides, armed to the teeth in the wardress of Macedon. From the forests of Gaul dashes Julius Caoser, concentrating in his Iron visage the world-crushing spirit of tho Tiber. From a pyramid of human skulls rises the swarthy face of Gonghis Khan. And there rides Napoleon, like a spectre from tho flames of Moscow, where his legions lie burled in their shroud of Ice. "Tho Conquerors, in the painting, cover the full breadth of the road; and on either side, stretching into the illimit able distance, 1110 en lilo In ghastly lines, lie millions upon millions of uaked dead. On the Conquorors' facos is written cruel and merciless resolve. On tho facos of tho million dead Is written the stony imprint of despair—all that thoy felt In life, tho death damp con gealed upon their brow. "Underneath this painting, so magni ficent in Its tragic appeal, we would write the Coal Barons' Creed, and add one more figure to the imperial horsemen on the road of time—the anthracite con quoror in that forest of spears, riding on to his eternity of retribution.''
