W0RKINGFORSETTLEMENT

Dose-Kea wad Ojseratera?
PHILADELPHIA, Sept . Late devel
opmente show th.t the efforts to bring
about a hurried settlement of the big
cotu miners' smite axe still In a chaotic
condition. JVttrtle there Is every surface
evidence of honest Intention on the- uart
of the mlneowners and operators to grant
uio more important demands of tho mlne
Trorkers, the difficulties In detail In
reaching- the basis of a settlement grow
more confusing. In a conference tonight
ar Wilkesbarre, an Important residential
point of mining railroad superintendents
and big Individual mine operators, mine
foremen were called In .to take part In
the discussion. The foremen were ques
tioned relative to the charge for powder,
dockage, etc.. Indicating that the owners
Were endeavoring to reach a common
ground where Justice would be found for
each side So far as can be learned, no
definite conclusion was reached.
The general opinion among those In a
position to comprehend the differences
la that the settlement of the strike Is yet
remote. All Interests involved, however,
seem to be willing to reach an early set
tlement, and concessions, it Is understood,
would be readily accorded by both sides
In the controversy. The strike leaders
are cautious In their movements, but so
far as can be learned have not taken the
ground that trickery was being played,
a cautionary notice on which point they
had previously sent to all the strikers.
It has now apparently settled Itself down
to a common-sence discussion of the dif
ferences. The strikers made big gains today in
bringing out men who have heretofore
continued o work. The Markle employes
tonight sent word to the firm that arbi
tration was not to be further considered.
Somany of the employes of that firm In
Its" five mines near Sazleton have joined
the strikers that they concluded there
was no further advantage to be obtained
by their other agreement that the men
would continue at work pending arbitra
tion of their grievances, which had been
presented to the firm -wholly apart from
Che general grievances of the United Mine
workers. This was their escape from
the conditions of the agreement, and they
concluded to declare all previous agree
ments ended.
The entire region was tranquil today,
and General Gobln, In command of the
three regiments of state troops in Schuyl
kill County, concluded that the soldiers
were only wasting their time, and he In
formed the Sheriff that he would send
one of the regiments home Monday. The
strike leaders continued their campaign
ing by mass meetings today, and many
who have been working joined their
ranks. There were today more Idle mine
workers than at any time since the strike
began.
AWAITING TEVKLOPainXTS.
No Chungre in the Strike Situation at
Ilaxlcton.
HAZLETON, Pa., Sept, 29. "We are
closing the mines and awaiting develop
ments," was all that President Mltcheil,
of tho United MIneworkers, would say
tonight when asked whether he had re
ceived any information from New York
or elsewhere as to what the operators
are doing in their efforts to settle the
coal jitrlke. Although he diplomatically
evaded the question, there is a strong
belief here that Mr. Mitchell Is kept fully
advised of the progress of events in the
metropolis.
If the reported advance of 10 per cent
bas been finally agreed upon, it has not,
so far as can be learned, been offered to
any of the mineworkers in the anthra
cite region. Taking Mr. Mitchell's state
ment that a 10 per cent advance would
not be satisfactory as an Indication that
It would not be accepted by the miners'
organization, it Is thought In some quar
ters bere that there would be a break In
tho ranks of the strikers which it would
be difficult to stop, should the offer to
their employes be made by the operators.
.On the other band. President Mitchell and
his colleagues are positive in asserting
their belief that the men now Idle will
not waver, and that they would stand to
gether until the joint convention of the
three anthracite districts calls the strike
off.
The entire Lehigh Valley was about as
quiet today as It could possibly be. Bain
is falling here tonight. The same num
ber of collerles were working as were In
operation yesterday. Both sides to the
contest claim accessions to their ranks in
the Hazleton district. President Mitchell
said to a reporter of the Associated Press
today that his telegram to the soft coal
region of Central Pennsylvania, request
ing mineworkers there not to load coal
ears which are destined for the anthra
cite coal market, has had the desired
effect,
COAL PRICES LOWER.
Taken as an Indication That the End
Is Near.
2OTW YORK, Sept, 9. Anthracite coal
was quoted 51 a ton cheaper today than
It was two days ago. This was taken as
an Indication that the railroads and oth
ers with stocks of coal on hand regard'an
early settlement of the miners' strike as
probable. The railroad officials, however,
refused to say to what point the negotia
tions to this end had progressed," but it
was learned that the operators have prac
tically agreed not entirely to Ignore the
union in making a settlement. The pres
ent plan is believed to be to place con
cessions before the men at the different
collieries and ask them to return to work
pending the settlement of remaining dif
ferences by arbitration.
The extent to which the miners' organi
sation Is to be recognized is said to be
thathe men will have the operators'
terms placed before them at meetings
of the local unions.
The Evening Post says today:
'wnlle no final announcement of the
coal strike settlement is yet forthcoming
there was today reliable authority for the
statement that the matters still under
discussion are of detail merely, and that
a satisfactory conclusion will be reached
In a short time.
"It is conceded everywhere in the coal
trade that the price of coal after the
strike will never settle down to the sama
level as before. More than 10 per cent
Increase in wages is belleyed generally to
be the concession the miners will demand,
and this will mean, according to reliable
estimates, an increase of fully 25 cents
in the cost of every ton mined. This
will make the, cost at the collieries about
$2 75 a ton. The consumer, of course,
will pay the difference. Moreover, there
will undoubtedly be a great demand for
coal as soon as the strike is over, and,
perhaps, a week or 10 days delay in sup
plying it."
TALK OF IMPORTED LABOR,
-.Rumor That Negroes Will Take the
Place of Strikers.
. POTTSvTLLE, Pa., Sept 29.-The con
viction is growing that It will be next
to impossible to settle the strike- on any
basis not including a recognition or the
United Mineworkers. The strike was or
dered and subsequently managed by the
leaders -of this organization, the strikers
are following almost unanimously the ad
vice and mandates of these leaders, and
It is generally believed here that the men
will not go back to the mines until they
get word to do so from Mitchell.
In the vicinity of Shamokin a number
of .men representing the operators have
been, making efforts to have the men
promise to return to work on October X,
Pew If any such promises were secured,
and-most of tho miners approached looked
Hpon'the offers of the mlneowners to
make certain concessions as & sign of
weakening.
, In the lower section of the Schuylkill
the recent story that negroes were to he
imported from Virginia to take the places
of the strikers has been received and con
siderably discussed. A rumor was cur
rent that some of tho operators had ac
tually arranged with agents of men in
Virginia who make a business of supply
ing negro labor, to Import a large number
of colored men here to work In the mines.
MlneownersJ and strike leaders pro
nounce the story ridiculous. In the first
place they say inexperienced negroes, or
white men, for that matter, would be al
most worthless in the mines, and it would
require a long time to make any large
body of such men useful In cutting coal.
In the next place, even the mlneowners
admit that such a move would precipi
tate almost a revolution whfch would
Involve not only the negroes and strikers,
but all the workingmen of this state.

change In the condition. The strike of
ficers at district headquarters have In
structed the men, in view of a possible
settlement proposition from the opera
tors, to remain away from the mines
and take no action toward going back to
work until advised to do so through their
local unions, which will get the word
from President Mitchell and the general
executive board.

SHAMOKIN, Pa., Sept 19. The opsra
tors in this vicinity were pleased this
morning because a larger number of men
than usual reported for work at Midvale
colliery- The strike leaders are not di
couaged by the circumstance, claiming
that those who went underground did so
for the purpose of cleaning up and to re
move or bury their tools until the strike
is over.
BRITISH AMERICAN UNION,
Movement to Organise a Branch, in
' Portland.
The organization of a- local branch of
tho British-American Union is being agi
tated much of late. During the past week
a large number of circulars have been
mailed to local British-born residents and
sympathizers of the union, by officers of.
the California organization. Letters ac
companying these ask that an' effort be
made to form a branch In Portland. No
meeting has been called for the purpose.
but many Britishers .here favor the Idea
and are discussing It Some of them ap
prehend that the union has political sig
nificance, and are averse to Joining any
thing that will array the citizens of this
country to the land of their nativity. In
the circulars being received, the nonpollt
ical aspect Is emphasized in the following
paragraph:
"The union Is nonpolltlcal, and is, as Its
constitution says, simply for making one
the best Interests of the American and
British people."
Discussing the situation yesterday, a
well-known British-born citizen of Port
land said:
"Britishers are not disposed to stick
closely together -when they become citi
zens of America. While they retain their
love of native land," they adapt themselves
to the conditions of their new home. They
merge into the community, leaving no
lines between them and their fellow citi
zens. While they are not ashamed of the
adjective 'British,' they are not so eager
to perpetuate It in connection with their
names as to array them as a class against
any other class. Thev are content to be
Americans when they adopt America for
their home. But latterly Britishers seem
to be thrown on their defense. The people
of one or two other nationalities who
should be Americans before anything else
have combined on no other lines than
birth, and oppose and assail everything
that Is British. It is but natural that the
British should fight back. They have noth
ing to.be ashamed of In their ancestry or
birthplace. And because this seeming anti
British sentiment Is organized and ag
gressive, there are certain persons in
America who begin assiduously to cater
to it Of course wo do not think for a
moment that In free America this dis
position can accomplish much, but It does
us some harm. If there Is an organized
antl-Britlsh sentient why should there
not be an organized British sentiment?
That would "simply bo self-defense on our
part If all Britishers and their close
friends should organize thus, there would
be a force too numerous to be slighted."

has only one commercial use, as has been
ascertained recently by special Govern

CROOKSTON, Minn., Sept. 29. Mr.
Bryan today explored the valley of the
Bed River of the "North, traversing this
rich agricultural section from "Wahpeton
to Grafton, and turning back from Graf
ton to Grand Forks, then started east
ward and reached this place at 7112 o'clock
tonight He made nine speeches again
today, and several1 of them were again
more than an hour In' length.
The first stop of today was made at tho
little town of JSanklnson, and iytm that
point on there was speaking at Intervals
throughout the entlro day and tul almost
10 o'clock tonight All the speeches were
made in North Dakota, except that of to
night in this place. The speeches were,
generally addressed to farmers, and Mr.
Bryan spoke to them as a fanner. The
weather was 'again good, but at places
was somewhat too breezy for comforta-"
bio outdoor speaking. Between Grand
Forks and Grafton some one carried off.
Mr. Bryan's hat, supposedly as a sou
venir. Mr. Bryan was received at Grand Forks
by a crowd which filled the Athletic Park
grounds, He spoke there for more than
one hour, and the crowd which heard
him was so enthusiastic that at the close
of his speech a number of young men
unhitched the horses from his carriage
and themselves drew the vehicle 'back to
the train. Mr. Bryan said: ,
"A government to be .good, must be
good not for a few, but" for all, and when
I protest against Injustice, when I pro
test against the plundering of the many
for the benefit of the few, I do not want
you to answer me-by saying I am array
ing one class against another. I am not,
If I, know my own heart 'My ambition is
to draw people together, not to separate
them, and my philosophy teaches me that
you cannot make people love each other
when injustice reigns between them."
"I had intended to speak at several
places In this state," said Mr. Bryan,, in
introducing his speech at this place 'to
night, "but I, don't see any use In doing
so, since all the people are here."
The meeting was held In the city school
grounds, and Governor Lind was .among
those on the stand. Mr. Bryan began
speaking1 a few minutes before 8 o'clock,
and continued for about an hour.
At Hankinaon,
FARGO, N. D., Sept 29. Mr. Bryan
changed trains at Aberdeen during the
night, and Hankinson was the first stop
today. The Bryan party had been aug
mented at Aberdeen by a" delegation of
Democratic leaders from North Dakota
who are "Escorting htm across this state.
Included In the party are: J. B. Eaton,
National Committeeman from North Da
kota; Max Wlpperman, nominee for Gov
ernor on the fusion 'ticket; Lieutenant
Hildreth, nominee for Congress, and
Messrs. Klelnogel and Carruth, chairman
and secretary respectively of the state
committee.
There was a lajwe crowd assembled at
Hankinson. Mr. .-Bryan talked to the. as
semblage for fiyerninutes, dealing freely
with the questions of thp increase of i!ie
standing army and Imperialism. He told
them that the one was dependent upon
th other, and he said that in our pur
chase of the Philippines we had only se-.
cured an optidh on a right to tffT islanas.
. At Walipeton.
The next stop was' at Wahpeton. Here
a stand had been erected in the' center of
the town, and" from it Mr. Bryan -spoke
for 15 minutes. He said in part:
"Under the Republican Administration
the trusts. have increased. If you like
the trusts you. ought to vote the Repub
lican ticket-If you have not enough of
them now you will get enough If the Re
publican parry' stays' In. But when I re
member how the people have learned In
the past four years what the trust Is,
when they ought to have known in ad
vance, I am reminded of one of Solomon's
adages. He said: 'The. wise man fore
seeth the evil and hldeth himself, but the
foolish pas on and are punished.'
"Sometimes I find a Republican who
cannot remember long sentences, so I
have condensed this so that they can re
member It. Solomon's proverb condensed
roads this way: The wise man gets an
Idea Into his head; the foolish man gets
it in tne neck.' "
Discussing the Philippines question, he
said: '
"'You will search his'tdry hr vain for a
more dishonorable parfthan the Repub
lican party has taken in turning a war
for humanity into a war for conquest "
He referred to the fact that a compnnv
of soldiers for the Philippines had. been
organised in Wahpeton, .and asked how
much of the Oriental trade should he re
quired in exchange for. the Ufa. of one of
them. He wanted expansion of trade as
much as any-on he said, hue he was
"not willing to put one American boy on
the block arid auction him off for all tho
trade of the East" , '
At Fargo. ,
Tljlj point was reached at 10 o'clock
and a stojj of an hour and a half was
made. More than a third of the time was
3pent, however, in escorting Mr. Bryan
across the city to a park and back' to the
train. Mr. Bryan spoke to a large as
sembly, dwelling especially upon what he
designated a tendency In this country to
imitate England.
'"My attpntion has, been called to an
other Imitation 'of BngJIsh methods," said
he. "It will be remembered that the
Republican party, In order, to meet the
President's views with the Porsto Rico
bill,, offered to give back , to the people
the taxrs which had been collected from
them. This was paraded before the peo
ple as an act of great benevolence and.
yet it was. an imitation of the action oi

Who had b'een appointed o prearo an ad

was approved by Congress on fhe 21st
day of October of that year. From this
it will be seen that the English Gov
ernment, in order to silence complaint
decided that revenue Collected In America
should be expended In America tor Its
protection and defence. The Republican's
wh? have never, by their votes, Indorsed
imperialism or the colonial idea, should
be alarmed at the constant tendency of
the 'Republican party to abandon Ameri
can doctrines and substitute European
Ideas"
" Mr. Bryan said it was not his Intention
to d'scuss the money question at this
time.
"Sou never had occasion to doubt my
position on the money question, but when
the Republicans tell you that the money
question is more important than others,
they stamp their own policy as a dollar
mark policy and 'confess themselves un
able to see around a "dollar, no matter It
human rights stand beyond. But If the
money question was paramount, the Re
publican party would not be able to de
fend its position.
"Whenever my Republican friend comes
to you and tries to answer your anti
trust argument by telling you there is
an Ice trust in New York, I want you to
tell him that the Nek York Ice trust is a
state affair and not an Interstate affair.
The people of New York are the only
people who xsuffer, and the Governor of
the state is a Republican, and. instead of
staying at home and destroying tho ice
trust, ne travels through the West mak
ing speeches.
"If you think that the Filipinos are
fighting against our authority over there
morely because I am a candidate for
President I answer that the Cubans
struggled for 30 years when I was not a
candidate. The colonists fought for inde
pendence over 100 years ago, -and my name
had not been even heard of. No, no, "it
was not Democracy, nor my candidacy
that placed in the heart of the Filipino
the hafred for foreign domination."
-While" he was discussing the status of
the Filipinos, some one in the crowd
asked, "How about the negroes?"
Mr Bryan answered viarmly: "I am
glad you spoke of the negroes. If you
will look at; the Sulu treaty you will not
have a chance to talk about the negroes
during the campaign. I do not know of a
purer piece of hypocrisy than the hypoc
risy of the Republican who defends the
Sulu treaty and condemns the amend
ments in the Southern States. Under the
Sulu treaty the flag floats over tho Sulu
Sultan's palace, and under section 10 It
Is -provided that the slaves can buy their
liberty at the market-place when they
earn enough to do so, working at nothing
a day. If you find there is a race ques
tion in this country that will require all
the patriotism and the Intelligence of peo
ple, North and South, to solve, Is It a rea
son why you should drag In another race
question? Is It a reasonwwhy you should
bring Into this country 8,000,000 brown peo
ple, not to share In the destiny of this
country? There is not a Republican In a
position to defend the negro question.
The Republican party has taken the negro
for 30 years to an office door and then tied
him on the outside.. The negro has be
stowed Presidents on the Republican party

An Opening: for Bryan.
New York Tribune.
If "Farmer" Bryan would sell his oats
crop and turn his attention to broomcorn
he might become prosperous. A dispatch
from Areola, 111., dated September 18,
says:
"The broomcorn market jumped from
S0 to $100 today, and brush has sold quite
freely at the latter flgure The firm
stand of the farmers to hold their brush
for an advance above $80 had the effect
of bringing buyers to terms today, and
the market price was fixed In order that
tho foreign buyers, who have been In the
field for a week- past, might secure their
supply and return to their homes."
But, on second thoughts, Bryan could
