President Mitchell Says That Silence Is the Best
v Weapon He Can Use Residence of a
Guard Is Dynamited
CINCINNATI, O i Oct 11. A Pout or:
respondent who is investigating the con
dition of the miner and their families in
the anthracite coal region telegraphs the
following from Wilkes barre: "Poverty
and desolation stalk in the First anthra
cite district. The most cruel feature of
the battle now being waged between the
strikers and operators is the hardships
forced on the women and children, who
are but thinly dad. The women, many
of them being in no condition to work,
are struggling bravely at the hardest
sort of labor with chapped hands and
bleeding feet. Women and children, ome
only two yearS old", dig fh the culm banks
for bits of eoal which had been over
looked by the miners. Their principal
food consists of bread made from un
bolted wheat, and spread with layers of
nauseous and unsatted lard.
MINERS' EARNINGS.

this morning that the basis' of the coal
strike conference on Thursday and Fri

demands In their efforts to arbitrate,
which met the operators' refusal. Ho
avers that a miners' annual earnings
average about one dollar a day of ten
hours, and says that If a twenty per cent
Increase is granted, the cost of anthracite
coal to the consumer would be lncreaso-l
only ten cents per ton.

NEW YORK, Oct 7.-Spocial 'corre
spondence.) The Monk haa received a
copy of Portland's wide awake paper,
and is Intently engaged in reading the
local news. ' He has always been inter
ested In Portland's affairs, and the pres
ent Investigation of the grafting- charges
are tho cause of much gratification to
him. Only a short time before he was
called East by the President he waa in
the editorial rooms while the "open or
closed town" wfs under discussion, and .
he said then: "It is strange that the of
ficers at the . law can - find neither gram-
biers nor gambling houses in the city,
while any one who has money that is
burning his Angers can find a place to bet
it inside of ten minutes. However, that
is not the question. I take the issue to be
not upon tho rights or wrongs any of
the ordinances deal with, hilt that the
whole matter resolves itself Into the
question: 'Can tho police force say which
ordinances they shall enforce and which
they shall not? If so, they become law
makers; if not, they are law-breakers.' "
