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.

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.
