As to Opening the Mines.
From the Phil*. North American.
When the mine owners announce
that they are about to resume operations
or assort that thoy can reopen the col
llerlos any day they choose, they deceive
nobody who is acquainted with the con
ditions under which mines are work
ed in Pennsylvania. Loast ol ail do
they fool the strikers. They could
import any number of laborers willing
to work for such wages as they might
choose to pay, but If they had half a
million men of that sort at their com
mand and all the protection the state
and federal governments are capablo
of giving, they could not reopen the
mines.
Coal mining can be done in this state
only by skilled minors holding certifi
cates from the state attesting their
qualifications and showing that they
have served two yoars' apprenticeship.
The certificated miners control the sit
uation, and until thoy are roady to
break the strike it is idle to talk of re
opening the mines in a day.
All the enormous damage to the an
thracite mines is due directly and
solely to the obstinacy of the operators
in holding the false theory that the coal
measures of Pennsylvania are theirs to
do with as they please, and that they
have no public obligations. These men
have said that the coal stored by nature
for the use of man shall not be taken
from the ground, except on conditions
fixed by them. Coal has come to be as
necessary as air and water, and tho
right of society to take it for the benefit
of all is as clear as the right of access
to water supply.
Private ownership of coal in tho
ground Is tolerable only so long as the
special privilege constituting the solo
basis of ewnershlp is not abused be
yond the limits to which society is
accustomed and assents. The perman
ent closing of mines is an abuse of
privilego which cannot be tolorated,
evon if the suspension of production for
some months is to be regarded as an
exercise of legitimate rights. If the
right to close one mine is conceded, It
follows that the operators may If thoy
please stop tho mining of the anthracite
coal entirely and permanently, destroy
tho collieries and excludo mankind from
all access to the natural stores of fuel
which are Indispensable to civilized
society.
When winter comes the disastrous
effects of the closing of the mines will
be felt, and high prices will inako the
people realize what monopoly of natural
resources means. Then, perhaps, It
will be soen more clearly that the cor
porations holding tho monopoly of
anthracite coal have been utterly con
temptuous of public rights, regardless
of their obligations, false to their trust
and wantonly destructive in their abuse
of the privileges conferred upon them
by society.
The Springfield Republican, which is
neither an Anarchist nor a Socialist
organ, declares that persistence by tho
corporations in their prosont attltudo
would mean revolution and an uprising
of the people to compol tho opening of
the mines evon at the muzzle of tho
riila. Tho declaration seems somewhat
exaggerated, but after all there is oqual,
If not greater reason, for using tho
military power of tho state to compel
mine owners to respect public rights as
for calling out milita to safeguard tho
right of tho individual to work. The
Republican goes on to say:
It tho mine owners can open their
mines—can get help outside of the
strikers in adoquato measure—lt is their
duty to do so. If thoy cannot, it is
their duty to meet the demands of the
strikers or to submit the dispute to
arbitration, as the strikers are willing
to do. One course or tho other must
speedily be taken In tho absonce of a
breaking down of the strike. If it is
not taken, the public will bo moved to
take tho mines under condemnation
proceedings, and ontor upon their opera
tion on public accouut.
Young Hero Meets Awful Death.
The Philadelphia papers on Saturday
contained extended accounts of a fatal
accident in that city, by which James
Carr mot an awful death. The boy was
a son of Mr. and Mrs. John E. Carr,
who up to 1890 were residents of this
section. The victim of the accident
was a nephew of P. B. Carr, of liazle
ton, and Bernard J. Carr, of Eckley.
He was aged 16 years, and with his par
ents removed to Philadelphia twelve
yoars ago. Ills father is employed as
sexton at St. John's church, Manayunk,
the pastor of which is Rev. James
Brohony, who is also well known here.
The boy, with several other employes
of a woolen mill, were playing ball dur
ing tho noon hour on Friday. Joseph
Garforth, a companion of young Carr's,
in running for the ball fell into a steam
tank which was sunk on tho playground.
Carr ran to his rescue and while en
deavoring to draw out Garforth lost his
balance and also fell into the boiling
water.
Others rushed to aid the stricken boys
and both were taken from the tank
fatally Injured, Carr dying at 7 o'clock
Friday evening. His body was parboil
ed from head to foot.
Tho Philadelphia papers without ex
ception give generous praise to the
dead boy for his heroism and comment
on his pathetic death in the hospital.
Ho graduated from tho Catholic High
school, Philadelphia, last June, and was
working In the mill during vacation to
earn money to enter colloge next month.
The funeral will take place at Mana
yunk at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning.
Traitors Turned Down.
None of the Democratic traitors In
tho last legislature who dishonored their
party and botrayod their constituents
by voting for William T. Marshall for
speaker, and thereby made possible
Senator Quay's election and the passago
of the Gang's corrupt legislation, will
sit In the next session.
Only throe have had the temerity to
seek re-election, and each was so badly
beaten he probably never will be beard
of again In politics.
The party traitors beaten for renoinl
natlon are Madison A. Garvin, Adams,
and Luther 8. Fake and John li. Kaln,
York. These who did not soek nomina
tion are Uarry B. Shutt, York; William
J. Galvln, Schuylkill, and Samuel M.
Rothrock, Mifflin.
None of the five Democratic traitors
In tho senate 19 an active candidate ex
cept A. D. lioyd, Fayette county, who
has boon endorsed by tho Eomocracy of
that county. Honest Democrats of
Groon county, which with Fayette con
stitutes the district, are opposed to Boyd,
and It is not likely he will be re
nominated.
John F. Hlgglns, Schuylkill, Is a pas
sive candidate. If ho should be nomi
nated It Is conceded he would be beaten
for election. The other three, Harvey
W. Haloes, York; Alfred D. Neoly, Clar
ion, and Harry G. Stiles, Lehigh, were
not candidates, and their successors
haye been nominated.

MRS. J. P. M'DONNELL.
The Talented Wife of a Labor War
Horse For Factory Insiiector.
"The New Jersey legislature recently
enacted a luw empowering Governor
Murphy to appoint a woman inspector
of factories. So far the governor has
not made any appointment, and it Is
not known what he Intends doing. On
the assumption thut lie will use the au
thority vested In him to name a woman
Inspector many persons are urging the
selection of Mrs. J. I*. McDonnell, wife |
of the editor of the Paterson Lubor
Standard. She is an educated and tal
ented woman and understands the In
dustrial conditions of New Jersey."
The above clipping from the New
York Tribune has been taken up by the
press of the state, and almost every
pajHT of consequence has udvocated
the appointment of Mrs. McDonnell.
She Is perhaps the woman both by na
ture and training best suited for the
position, and Governor Murphy could
not make a bettor appointment. Mrs.
McDonnell is a woman of rare Judg
ment and tact. She is well educated
and has been the helpmeet and Inspira
tion of her husband in his life work of
ameliorating the condition of the la
borers of the state. She has had busi
ness experience enough not to be fa
natical on the matter and would use
conscientious discretion In all cases.
What everybody says must be so, ac
cording to an old proverb, and in this
case It Is so, for there Is not a woman
the equal of Mrs. McDonnell In the
state for the many duties that must
devolve on the woman factory insiiect
or. Governor Murphy would make a
great stride In the right direction were
lie to appoint a woman who is compe
tent to do much, and that woman is
Mrs. Mcl lonnell. Incidentally he would
make innumerable political friends and
would have the approbation of the
press of tlie state.
Appoint Mrs. McDonnell, governor.—

The A. F. of L. In the West.
The refusal of the convention of the
American Labor union held at Denver
several weeks ago to accept the propo
sition to unite with the American Fed
eration of Labor and its adoption of
resolutions dwlaring in fuvor of so
cialism and committing the western
organization to independent political
action have determined the officials of
the American Federation of Labor to
inaugurate a vigorous campaign of op
position to tin? western faction. Witli
this end in view President Samuel
Gompers, Treasurer John B. Lcnnon
and several members of the executive
council are making an extended tour
through those localities west of the
Mississippi river where the sentiment
of opposition to the? nonpartisan policy
of the American Federation of Labor
prevails.
The itinerary extends as far west as
Sun Francisco and includes most of
the cities and principal towns of the
Pacific slope.
A New Council For Chicago.
Preliminary steps have been taken
toward the formation of a new Build
ing Trades Council In Chicago, and
this time it looks as if something would
be accomplished, as it is the larger un
ions that are making the move. A
meeting was held recently between
representatives of the bricklayers, car
penters, plumbers, structural iron
workers and hodcarrlers, with a view
to getting a working alliance of the
building construction trades. Tlic com
bined membership of the five unions
mentioned Is about 20,000, and the idea
of the leaders Is to have an alliance
completed before the present working
agreement with the contractors expires
next spring.
Dvutli For u Dollar.
Iu the last twenty years 20,000
iii<*n have ist their lives in the
Pennsylvania mines, and twice that
many have been maimed and crippled
for life, It is a record of death and
Injuries greater than many wars, and
no phase of this subject Is more full
of pathos tlian to know that these men
who toil deep down in the earth, shut
away from the sunlight and the pure
air of heaven, and who literally take
their lives in their hands every day,
are so ill paid they are always light
ing the wolf from the door and have
no hope of ever being able to safe
guard their families against want.
To InveMtlwnfe Child Labor.
The C. F. U. of New York has ap
pointed a committee to co-operate with
the University Settlement society,
which proposes an exhaustive investi
gation of child labor in that city and
the publication of facts gathered. Tills
will doubtless be followed by a con
certed move on the part of labor or
ganizations and reform societies next
winter before the state legislature to
amend the factory law so as to forbid
the employment of minors under eight
een In the factories of the state.
TiOoklunr For ExpaiiNlon.
Following the adoption by the West
ern Labor union of a new name signi
fying continent wide scope and the ad
dition to its platform of a plank de
claring for independent jxilitics, the
American Labor union is taking steps
to expand jurisdiction to southern and
eastern states, where it expects to
gather in the so called progressive
trades unions and such of the labor or
ganizations as are dissatisfied with the
American Federation of Labor.
War Talk In Canada.
At Toronto, Cunndn, the trades and
lubor council has passed a strong reso
lution iu condemnation of the calling
out of the militia in connection with
the recent street railway strike. One
of the delegates said that It was time
that labor organizations took steps to
arm and equip their own men to meet
those armed and employed on the side
of capital In labor disputes.
Canker of Modern Improvement.
"Years hud elapsed since I saw the
house with the seven gables supposed
to be the one which inspired Haw
thorne's immortal story, and, being in
Its vicinity recently, I went to see it
again," says u writer in tlie Boston
Herald. "But I wish 1 hadn't, for that
venerable domicile has been touched
with the canker of modern Improve
ment Electric lights, a furnace and
bathroom and kitchen boilers serve to
render the old time home of Salem's
watchmaker 'comfortable,' but an aw
ful paradox, iu the opinion of the an
tiquarian, not to sny romancer. I won
der what Hawthorne would say to tlie
changes there. If this is really the fa
mous house, one wishes it might have
been preserved as America's foremost
prose writer described it in that clas
sic and as Miss Ingersoll left It when
she departed this life."
THE FASHTONS.
Tulle neckties are very fashionable.
They go twice around the throat and
are tied in a loose, airy bow in front
and caught with a gem set lacopin.
The most noticeable difference in the
size of tlie sleeve is between the wrist
and elbow, though it now has fullness
enough at tlie shoulder to be perfectly
comfortable.
A pretty feature of summer gowns is
Uie use of fagot or cross stitching, join
ing skirt gores or groups of vertical
tucking down to the flounce, which is
often attached in the same manner.
Hemstitched and openwork voiles in
fawn or gray are being mounted over
silk of a brighter color—blue, eau do
nil, rose or mauve—but an underslip
whose color repeuts that of tho voile
la reully more elegant
