The strike Situation. i

Chicago Inter Ocean.
Inquiries Iroin several quarters indi
cate that under the stresB o( inconven
ience, caueed by deprlvatiou o anthra
oite coat, conlueion baa arisen as to juai
what the anthracite miners are striving
The statement juat issued by John
Mitchell, authorised epokeimao of Ihe
miners, in anawer to tbe assertions of
President Baer, oi the Reading Kailway,
epokeaman oi the trust, tells bmfly
and clearly what the miners ask. We
demand," saye Mr. Mlicbell:
"1. An increase in wages for men em
nlnvnri on DiecevFOrk.
"2. A reduction in h.'urs ol labor for
men employed by the day.
"3. Payment lor a legal ton,
"4. That coal shall be honestly
weiehed and correctly recorded."
The lollowing condensed summary ol
facts explanatory of either side, has been
carelully made and is believes, to oe en
lirelv fair :
The average earnings ol autbracite
mine woikers are lees that $300 a year
each. In 1900 for 1901 wageB were raised
10. nor cent. Meanwhile coat of living
has increased 30 to 40 per cent .
A dav's work in the bituminous mines
is eight hours. In the anthracite mines
it is 10 hours or more.
A legal ton of coal at tbe pit mouth is
2240 pounds. The men claim ihat i they
lld to deliver irom 2700 to
3400 pounds, and even then are olteo
"nn.ked." The trust claims that this
excess ol 400 to 1180 pounds and the sub
sequent "dockage' are necessary to com
pensate for waste which the men should
leave underground. The men claim that
they send up no Buoh amount ol waste.
The men claim , that they are often
cheated in weighing tbe coal and in ac
cording the weights. The trust deniea
the charge. But when the men aik for
check weighmen of their own choosing,
to be paid by themeelveB, the trust re
fuses to grant the request.
The two latter demand ol the men rest
on questions ol evidence upon whioh no
one without personal knowledge of the
industry can pass an opinion whother
American citizens ought to be asked to
live and bring up their' lamilles on In
comes averaging leBB than $300 a year,
especially when it is admitted that the
industry In which tbey are engaged re
turns good profits to their BiiiyerB.
"As to the reasonableness oi these'.do
mandd," adda Mr. Mitchell, we have pro
posed to submit to and abide the award
.of any impartial board ol arbitrators."
That propoual bus been before the coal
trust for some four mouths, and is etiil
belore it. The anawer of the trust oa

Richard Olnev for President
An Omaba dispatch to tbe New Kork
World eaya:
Omaha, Neb., Oot. 4. If Richard
Gluey, ol MaeBachuHetle, will permit tile
name to be used as a candidate lor the
democratic nomination lor tbe Presi
lency little difficulty will be experienced
ii harmonizing Weetern influences
which are now antagnostic and bringing
to the enppoit of the democratic ticket
in 1904 many republicans who are now
dieiiruntled because of the apparent in
tention of their leaders to cling to the
protective tariff policy.
II Mr. Olney will permit his name to
be used it is believed the appearance in
'be political arena of William J. Bryan
us a candidate for tbe Presidential nom
ination will be prevented.
Mr. Bryan is not now s Presidential
candidate, and has emphatically stated
that he will not again seek the nomina
tion, but his political friends are BBsured
that if David B. Bill, ol New York,
shows sufficient strength to warrant tbe
assumption that be may carry the con
vention, Bryan will throw bimeell into
tbe fight, and by hie own candidacy de
feat the New York man.
The candidacy ol Tom L. Johnson, of
Cleveland, iB little regarded by the West
ern preae. He iB merely identified in
the puolic mind as "something connect
ed with the street railwaye."
Tariff revision sentiment is so strong in
tbe Western StateB that the disaffection
in republican ranks can hardly be esti
mated. The lact that the New York re
publicans utterly Ignored the contentions
ol those of Iowa has arouaed to a higher
pitch tke antagonism already generated
by the pronunciament of tbe Bantam
leader! that no tariff changeB are to be
undertaken, and that "the tariff la the
bulwbark of prosperity."
The West does not appreciate the
present proipenty. While work is
plentiful, tt te obtained only at tbe pay
which has prevailed for Beveral years,
and the Increased oOBt of living haa op
erated ae a direct reduction. Tbe "full
dinner pail" cry wbich was so successful
in the campaign of 1900, and which is
being promulgated again by the repub
licans, is not meeting with the respons
iveness which it produced in that mem
orable campaign.
Evidences are apparent on every hand
of disloyalty to tho present republican
leadership. Roosevelt's speeches in
favor of the tariff revision, or what
mounts, to the same thing, the estab
lishment of reciprocity, have done more
5 injure his party in the West than . has
uy other of his policiea. Ihe retire
ment of Speaker Henderson because he
finds hie tariff ideas aro not in conson
ance with the views of hie constituents is
a nut which the republicans have yet
tailed to crack. It has only Berved to
increase tbe activity ot tue supporters oi
the policies of reciprocity and' tariff re
vision, and these supporters are ready,
apparently, to fight for their views to
the point ol the disentegratlon oi their
party organization.
WeBtern democrats incline to tue be-
llol that no greater opportunity has ever
been presented to tbe party to eecure
success In a Presidential campaign, and
they are urging conaervativeness in the
choice ol a Presidential candidate.
Hill enn no longer unite the forces.
Bryan's antagonism and his power in
the WeBt will prevent that. Johnso i iB
au impoeeibility, Gorman Ib too much
allied with Hill. Only Olney can, from
tho present conditions, amalgamate the
farces into a successful coalition. It is
asserted by one ol Bryan's closest friends
that if Olney will permit his name to be
used, declaring hiuiBelf a candidate and
announcing the policies on which be will
Btund, Bryan will support him from the
Blurt.
Bryan has expressed admiration for
Oluej's qualities iu a recent conversation
with the World correspondent, aud while
hu would not declare hiniBell us to tbe
question of the support of Olney, be
strongly intimated that he would not op
pose lils candidacy.
Detinn'u,; to avert tbe launching of a
tariff relorm movement at tho National
l.eagne cl Republican Clubs, the Execu
Comuiltteo adopted a rule requiring that
tariff resolutions be referred to commit'
tee. This action Thursday, in Chicago,
prevented debate in the convention on
the tarifl question, and consequently de
b.urod an open diernption among the
delegates.
No better iudlcntionB of the drift of
puhlie sentiment against tbe Dingley ta
riff have been given anywhere than in
assemblages of Republican politicians.
While ueairous of defending the tat
tered, hypocritical theories relative to
the high protective, Republican politl
clans have been lorced Into embaraising
positions by members ot the party's rank
and file, who have awakened to Ihe ne
ceasity lor tariff relorm. Ihe managers
havo found it judiclons, as a (ell-proteot-tve
course, to postpone discussion on the
tariff question as long as possible Re-

Wilkesbakbk, Pa., Oct. 14. From a
thorough canvass of the situation us it
exists tonight there is every indication
that the new arbitration plan proposed
by the presidents of the coal companies
for ending tbe miners' Btrike will not be
accepted in ita present form. There ia a
division of opinion anionic the strikers,
but there is no doubt that a majority feel
that the offer co have the President of
the United States select an arbitration
commission along the lines suggested by
the operatore is not fair, and that it un
duly limits tbe board.
