NEARING THE END
Indications Are THat Strike
Will Soon Be Called Off.
OWNERS HAVE MADE CONCESSIONS
Individual Operators Fall in Line
"With the Railroads Novr the
Union Mast Decide.
PHnjADBLPHIA, Oct 5 Today's de
cision of the individual coal operators to
offer a 10 per cent Increase in wages to
the striking mlneworkers is regarded
throughout the anthracite region as the
beginning of the end of the strike. Nearly
all of the individual operators today made
announcement of their willingness to grant
the Increase and notices to this effect it is
expected, will be posted tomorrow It is
fully believed that the few ooerators Tvho
have not yet expressed their intention onl
the subject will' fall in line with the oth
ers and grant the increase.
According to some-of the operators, pow
der will be aold to the miners at $1-50 per
keg, instead of $2 75, as heretofore, but
this reduction will be taken Into consid
eration in figuring the net 10 per cent ad
vance. No other concessions to the. strik
ers are hinted at and, in fact, ltrhas been
openly declared by some of the officials
of the big companies that no further con
cessions will be granted.
The Individual operators delayed an
nouncing their willingness to grant the
Increase pending the report of a committee
sent by them to New York to endeavor
to secure some concessions from the coat
carrying companies. The committee was
unsuccessful and so reported, and the
operators, feeling that further opposition
to the big companies was useless, decided
to follow their lead and grant the ad
vance. It is the general opinion that a great
majority of the striking mlneworkers
would be satisfied to accept the offer and
return to work, but they express deter
mination to await the decision of President
Mitchell, of the United Mlneworkers. Mr.
Mitchell will give no indication of his
probable action in the matter, beyond his
oft-repeated assertion that the men them
selves will- decide in convention all ques
tions bearing on a settlement of the dif
ferences with the operators. He would
not state when such convention would be
called by him. The -opinion prevails that
he wlll.wait until every operator expresses
a willingness to grant an Increase. In
the meantime, arrangements arp proceed
ing for another strikers parade and a
mass meeting at Shenanoah tomorrow and
at Scranton next Wednesday.

ROT ORDERED BY POLITICIANS.
Mitchell Sayjs the Democrats Hni
WethiBa: to'Do With the Strike.
'HAZLETON, Pa., Oct. 5. President
Mitchell, wlieh sh6wh'& dispatch today' in
which an officer1 of a -political organiza
tion was quoted as saying the anthracite
coalmlners' strike Was planned by Mr.
Johnson, of the National Democratic Com
mittee, the Mayor of Indianapolis, and
himself at a recent meeting In Indianap
olis, said he was reluctant to believe that
the gentleman quoted had made the
charge, and stated positively that the
story was untrue. He said he did not
know Mr. Johnson and had never held
a conversation with him or with Mr.
Taggart In his life. President Mitchell
said that any man who would inaugurate
a strike in the Interest of any political
organization would be deserving of the
severest punishment that could bo
meted out, and that any person who
would make political capital out of the
suffering of men, women and children in
the anthracite region would be unworthy
of the privilege of citizenship.
The belief prevalent here tonight that
the anthracite miners strike is approach
an end" is strengthened by the action of
the individual operators today in follow
ing the lead of the big coal-carrying
and coal-mining railroads by offering a
net increase of 10 per -ent in the wages
of their employes. The first break among
the Individual operators In this district
was made today when Pardee & Co ,
operating the Cranberry and Crystal
Ridge collieries, offered their em
ployes a 10 per cent net Increase in wages
and a reduction In the price of powder to
$1 50 per keg, the decrease in the price
of powder to bo taken into account in
the advancing of wages. That four more
of the Individual mlneowners will make
the same offer is hardly doubted.
It -was -learned today that before the
advance was made public by the Pardee
Company,' several of lthe general super
intendents x)f other Individual comoanles
were lnylted to the Pardee Compan's
office in this city for the purpose of giv
ing their views oru the proposed " offer.
These representatives did not say what
their companies would do, but it was
learned that the consensus of opinion was
that if the mlnebwners wish to keep
their collieries in operation they will have
to increase the wages of their men. None
of the superintendents at the meeting
would-say anything In regard to the re
port that the coal-carrying roads had
made concessions to the individual opera
tors, in the matter of freight rates. The
representative of the Asslcated Press was
told by a prominent mine official who
would possibly know if the railroads had
conceded anything, that, as far as he
knew, the railroads had not reduced the
rates to any individual company in this
region.
-President Mitchell, of the United Mine
workers, is much interested in the ad
vance made by the individual companies
but would say nothing for publication.
He -continues to say that the strike can
not be settled without a convention, and
that he is waiting on the operators. In
the meantime, the men now on strike,
numbering 138,000, are not wavering under
the professed increase In wages. In the
Lackawanna and Wyoming districts, not
a mine is working. The conditions re
main about the same in the Lehigh Val
ley region, while in the Schuylkill dis

ers.' ptones and rocks were thrown at

men were severely cut about the head.

dered the engineer to stop, and as he and
a few deputies stepped fro'm the coach

- IT IS UP TO MITCHELL.
Mineowners Have Done Their Share
Will. He Call the Strike Off T
WILKESBARRE, Pa., Oct 5" The cri
sis in .the coal miners' strike seems to be
approaching. A well known operator here
said yesterday that there was an under
standing at the meeting of the representatives-of
the big companies and the in
dividual operators in this city last Tues
day. According to the understanding, the
notices of Increased wages were not to be
posted all at the same time, but gradual
ly. This part of the programme has now
been carried out. The companies and
nearly all the, operators are In line for a
10 per cent' increase. It is now up to
President Mitchell to decide what he is
going to do in the matter. If he delays
actioti with the idea In view that the oper
ators will make a better offer ho Is likely
to delay a settlement of the strike in
definitely. An analysis of the 10 pe'r cent
increase offered shows that the average
miner's -wages would not be increased
fully 10 per cent, but it is argued that
it is better than nothing; that it is a
Victory after all for the strikers; that It
Is the entering wedge and "that If the
United Mlneworkers keep their organiza
tion' intact, they dan compel the opera
tors to make -further concessions in the
years to come. It is said that President
Mitchell takes this view of the situa
tion himself. It Is known, however, that
some of President Mitchell's advisers are
against a settlement on the 10 per cent
basis.

DEAL IN PORK.
Chicago Market Jumped 82 Yester-
day Lipton Did It.
CHICAGO, Oct 5 "Shorts" on October
pork were given an unexpected surprise
today by the price jumping $2 per bar
rel, part of it at the rate of 50 cents be
tween trades. The price went from $13
to $15, and closed at $14 50, a net gain of
$1 40 for the day. Within 30 days thero
has been an advance of $3 20.
Sir Thomas J. Lipton, the English tea
merchant is behind the deal. The ad
vance was without any great excitement,
as not to exceed 6000 barrels changed
hands. It was a scramble on the part of
the shorts, with light offerings. A week
ago there was an estimated shortage of
75,000 barrels, or more than double the
actual stock here. Lipton Is stripping It
and selling the strips in large quantities
at 6 cehts a pound, one lot of 300,000
pounds being disposed of today at that
figure.
"We have no pork to sell for specula
tive purposes," said his representative,

INDIANAPOLIS, Oct. 5. The executive .com

long address to the members o the party. The address
attacks Mr. Bryan bitterly, and insists .that silver is the
issue. The address concludes:
"Mr. Bryan seeks power by an appeal to the anti-expansion
and anti-trust sentiment of the people. The
difficulties of our external policy were unforeseen, as
their solution is at present unrevealed. The evil of
trusts has no- party parentage, and will be remedied by
the combined intelligence of all parties. Without min
imizing the perils of either, we affirm that no greater
evil can befall our Government than the impairment of
its Vigor, the destruction of our credit and the ruin of
our industries, which Mr. Bryan is specially pledged to
effect if he gets the power. Therefore we appeal to our
countrymen again to avert disaster to their country by
his defeat."

Of course. MriKinley can be elected with

slump as would give New xonc atate,
with its vast business interests, over to
the-'Bryanltes, the probabilities are that
the slump will be felt elsewhere, and that
Bryan will be elected. Thus New York
becomes the pivotal state In this Presi
dential contest. If Croker wins his bet3

.impression is that these are "wash bets,"
New York City business men, who have
neglected their own interests and the in
terests of the country, will bo to blame.
Schemes for Fraudulent Votingr.
In 'order to make New York surely
Democratic, the Democrats are obliged to
have at least 100,000 majority below the
Bronx". This will Include Staten Island,
Brooklyn and Kings County. The Repub
licans do not believe that there Is any
such majority possible, although It Is now
asserted that there are vast schemes on
foot for fraudulent voting In New York
Clty,Tso as to svftsll the Bryanlte majority
to the greatest proportions. Of course,
the Republicans will be on the alert for
all such fraud as this, and a part of the
campaign fund will be devoted to the pre
vention of ballot-box stuffing and other
methods well known to the Tammany
managers. But more than all this, It the
business men are neglectful of their in
terests and unmindful of the dangers
which are 'possible In the election of
Bryan, and allow a tremendous majority
to be rolled up in New York City, they
will be responsible for the result
From the best Information obtainable.
It Is scarcely probable that the business
men of New- York are going to remain
Idle and neglectful of theli own dut'es.
The Republicans are alarmed, and the
campaign. of education has been success
fully carried on. The business men are
organizing, and the Republican managers
are seeing to it that these representative
citizens are Informed as to the issues, and
the dangers which would result from Bry

Business man and tradespeople. If they
should unite In New York City, can keep
the majority of the Bryanltes down to
50,000, at least Up the state, the majority
will run anywhere from 100,000 to 10,000.
if the vote comes out. This has always
been the great danger in New York, the
failure of the Republican voters to come
out to the Rolls on election day. ThH
failure .two years ago- very nearly cost
the Republicans the Governorship, when
Roosevelt was elected by 20,000. Before
election, however, it is believed that the
people will be thoroughly roused and that
a full vote will be polled, which will not
only save the state, but give the Repub
licans a big majority; not the phenomenal
majority of 1896, when McKlnley carried
New York City, but a majority larger
than is usually cast In New York for
Presidential candidates.
Coal Strike Affects Labor Vote.
The coal strike affects the labor vote,
as such strikes always do. It also, af
fects the purchasers of coal, and causes
general dlssatlsfacUon among the peo
ple. It brought the trust Issue sharply to
the' front and many small business mn
throughout the State of New York are
somewhat alarmed over the problem of
combination of capital. There Is a tre
mendous labor vote In the City of Now
York, which is organized, and organized
labor has been, through Its leaders, gen
erally against the Republican party. The
cool strike has been seized upon by these
leaders to make capital against the party
In txwer. How far-reachlnE- the effect
will be Is yet undetermined,' but the great
the strike was conclusive"" proof that he
feared Its effect upon the voters not only
In New York, but upon the entire coun
try. The danger In New York City is the
wonderful' power of Tamany, centralized
In Dick Croker. Not only have they con
trol of all-the municipal offices, and all
other elective offices in New York, but
thoy make every one of these officers
pay a tremendous assesment for campaign
funds. For instance, the salary of a
Congressman is $5000 a year. When he is
nominated he puts up $2500, which la half
of his salary for a. year. That 13 about
the proportion of the assesments. There
are offices In New York City with sala
ries all the way from $25,000. $12,000, JPO.000,
$SO0O and $5000, and so on down. Assess
ments similar to those on a Congressman's
salary . enables Tammany to collect an
f enormous fund. Then there Is the black
mailing process that la' placed upon all
saloon-keepers, keepers of low dives and
disorderly houses, and all vice which Is
wlpked at by the Tammany municipal au
thorities Ja compelled to pay tribute to
the campaign fund. Besides this method
of raising money, Tammany is also ena
bled to raise money from the corpora
tions that have large Interests In the
city. But its hold on the voting popu
lation is not only through all the munici
pal offices, but every contractor upon the
streets, every railroad corporation In the
city, every corporation that has to ob

by the state committees of the different
states through which he has passed. Be
yond 'this, he has had to endure hand
shaking Interviews without number, and

courage and common snse which makes
us follow and makes us safe In turning

asked to give up our material prosperity.
Why are we asked to give up for tho
sake of turning over the Philippines to an
unspeakably cruel and an unspeakably
corrupt system of Chinese half-breedsT
"What about tho trusts?" asked a
voice. "We will have to ask that an essay
