Such\na strike will involve iuo,000 men, upon\nwhom depend lor support many persons,\nand cause a shut down that will cost\nminers aud operators $10,000,000 per\nmonth as long as It lasts. All Industrial pursuits that depend on coal for\npower will be affected. Every miner in\nthe United States except the non-union\nmen of West Virginia, would quit work-\nNaturally the storm centre of such a\nstrike would be Pennsylvania, The\nKeystone state employ.* a total of 291,000\ncoal miners, who last year turned out\nmore than 170,000,000 tons. Virtually\nall the north Atlantic ports draw ou the\ncoal fields of Pennsylvania lor tbeir\nsupply.\n\"Whatever is done to bring about a\nnew agreement between miners and operators, must be dune quickly. On\nMarch 31 will expire the award of the\nanthracite commission, which was appointed by president Roosevelt to settle\nthe strike of 1902. At the same time will\npass out of existence the board of conciliation which has been-successful in\nstraightening out several serious\ntroubles.\"\nFrom official souroes It was learned\nthat tbe anthracite companies now have\n13,000,000 tons stored In their own yards,\nand that they expect to have at least\n28,000,000 tons out of the mines and\nready for a six months campaign If the\nminers decide to quit work. In fact the\nstatement has been made by one representing both; ttie anthracite and bituminous interests that so much coal has\nbeen produced within the last two ..years\nthat a shut down of several months this\nsummer would be necessary if a strike\nwas not ordered.\nPresident Mitchell has now at his command more than $3,000,000 with which\nto keep the wolf from the miners' door\nafter the battle begins.\nThat the organization Is capable of\ncarrying on strikes upon a magnitude\nunheard of before in this country, is indicated In the statement that during \"the\npast -four years it has conducted no\nfewer than 22 strikes ni the various coal\ndistricts of the country of sufficient Importance to demand relief from the un*\nIon's treasury.\nFor these four years these strikes havo\ncost the organization a grand total of\nnearly $3,500,000. In 1902' 184,000 mine\nworkers were on strike for two mouths,,\nand 160,000 for five months, under the\ndirection of this organization.\nln the Meyerdale district of Pennsylvania some 1500 families have been dependent upon the union for their support for nearly two years because of a\nstrike ln that field.\nSince July, 1905, 8000 families of mine\nworkers In Alabama have heen support\ned for the greater part of. this time\nthrough union relief, tho expenditure of\ntbe United Mine Workers for this purpose alone tn that state averaging $10,-\n000 a week. In Colorado and Utah, for\nthree months In 1904, this organization\nexpended an average of $15,000 a week\nln the conduct of a strike.\nWest 'Virginia has coal fields, ami\nvaluable ones. Foreign immigration\nlately bas turned there in increasing\nnumbers. The men have found employment In the coal fields, but they\nhave not joined the union. In fact they\nhave worked for prices below the union\nscale. This has enabled the Virginia\noperators to sell their coal at a lower\nrate than owners In other states where\nunions keep up tho price of wages, which\nwith freight, Ib the main Item ln its production.\nAs long as West Virginia remains\nnon-union its prices stay dowu, and the\noperators have not hesitated to tell the\nunion leaders that If tbey want to get\nconsideration they must unionize West\nVirginia. It was the West Virginia competition that forced the mine ownerB of\nOhio, IIllnolB, Indiana and Western\nPennsylvania to make a 5 per cent reduction In wages ln 1904, and the Insistence of the miners that this be replaced Ia one of the Issues In the present\ndiscussion.\nOOTOlt IS CHAMPION\nAfiliville, Tcnn,, March la-Prnnk uotcii\nwon from Oleson Ih a wrestling match tonight for the heavyweight championship\not the world,\nIndianapolis, March M.-rThe deadlock\nbetween the coal operators and the miners of the central competitive and the\nsouthwestern districts continued today\nthroughout the meetings of the two joint\nscale committee and when the meetings\nadjourned till tomorrow no agreement\nhad been reached on the wage scale.\nThe differences then seemed as far\nfrom adjustment as ever.\nThe discussion in the scale committee\nof the central competitive district today\nwas confined to arguments among the\noperators and radical differences of\nviews were heatedly expressed by them.\nAn effort was made to secure from president Mitchell of the mine workers an\nexpression as to whether be held the I\nRyan resolution to be in effect. This \/\nresolution was adopted by the former\nJoint conference ln January aud binds\nthe miners not to sign In any district\nuntil an agreement haa been reached ln\nevery district Mr. Mitchell declined to\ncommit himself.\nF, L. Robbins, of the Western Pennsylvania operators, was the target today for several vigorous attacks on his\nposition ln favor of paying the scale of\n1903, which would mean an advance of\n5.65 per cent In wages in the district,\naud \"would comply with the demands of\nthe miners. One of the most heated of\nthe attacks was made by J. B. Zerbee,\nof Cleveland, who spoke for the Ohio operators. After paying his respects to\nMr. Robbins, Mr. Zerbee turned to the\nrepresentatives of the mines and said:\n\"For the mere consideration of dollars\naud cents no strike can be justified and\nunder no circumstances can any strike\nbe justified unless the benefits to be derived thereby far exceed the misery endured, the human energy wasted and the\nproperty destroyed. With you it can\nonly be a'question of dollars and cents.\nYou are* now getting a fair wage and\none with which you have been satisfied\nfor the last two years; but you are now\ndemanding more, therefore, if you order\nthis strike your position cannot be justified. The Ohio operators position is\ndifferent They are now getting a fair\nreturn for money invested. You demand that they surrender a portion of\nthe returns they are now receiving.\nThey have a right to stand for a fair\nreturn and, therefore, are standing upon a principle and if a strike should\ncome, they are Justified, and the responsibility rests with you.\"\nMr. Robbins said, on the whole, -his\nposition was fair aud just to all interests and the Pittsburg Coal company,\nwhich he represented, was willing to\npay the'advance asked for. He said he\nwas also willing to pay the advance at\nMs own mines in Pennsylvania, Ohio\nand Illinois, and he had received notice\nfrom the Illinois Coal company, having\nan output of one million tons, that It\nhad instructed its representatives to\nvote wtth him. Mr. Robbins said the\ncountry would not permit a general\nstrike upon tho causes shown. He\nturned to president Mitchell of the mine\nworkers, and said he could not believe\nthe officials of the miners would dare\nrefuse to allow the miners to work\nwhere their demands were met.\nG. A. Magoon, representing the Western Pennsylvania independent operators,\nsaid that if the Pittsburg Coal company\npaid the advance aud operated its mines\nthe independent operators of western\nPennsylvania would not do likewise. The\ndissensions among the operators became\nso heated that they asked the minere to\nwithdraw for an hour. ThlB was done\nand at the end of the period the operators asked for an adjournment of the\ncommittee until tomorrow as they had\nnot finished their discussion. This action was taken. The operators continued\nIn session for an hour longer and then\nadjourned, after arranging conferences\nby states.\nCOAL ADVANCING.\nChicago, March 23.\u2014-Soft coal prices\nare advancing dally in Chicago, owing\nto the growing feeling that a strike is\nunavoidable.

Water will be\nsecured from the Cranbrook water\nworks, and for this purpose a line of\npipe will be laid to connect with the\ncompany's mains. At tbe start there\nwill be about 50 men employed, and as\nthe plant increases, this, number will\nbe augmented. This will be a most excellent improvement for Cranbrook and\nwill be a permanent one.-\u2014Cranbrook\nHerald.\nWANT SIX\nMILLIONS\nMutual Life to Recover\nAgainst McCurdy\nFamily\nHuge Aggregate Sum of Money Alleged to\nHave Been Wasted, Stolen or Lost by\nRegime of President HcCuidy\nPROCTOR'S PROMOTION.\nPittsburg, March 23.\u2014The price of\ncoal ln this district ts advancing rapidly, and large orders are being received\nfrom local manufacturers from Cleveland as far west as Chicago.

Under existing\nconditions directors and other \"Insiders'* often have exclusive information\nfor months before tbe average share\nholder, and some of these directors are\nunscrupulous enough to take advantage\nof the knowledge thus gained as trustees\nfor their own personal enrichment lu the\nstock market.

The corn\ncrop waa the largest itt the history ot\nthe country, the wheat crop second only\nto that of 1802. ln spite or. the common\nbellet two years ago, that tho United\nStates had fallen to a self-supporting\nbasis as a wheat producer, the farmer\nhas again grown 200,000,000 bushels lor\nexport. The yield of corn was over\n2,100,000,000 bushels, a gain of 42,000,-\n000 over the next lowest year, 1889.\nThese bumper crops led secretary Wilson last fall to predict lower prices for\nthe primary articles of food this winter. So far there has been little to verify his prediction. At best the few\ndownward fluctuations in prices have\nbeen temporary or local. The general\nhigh cost of living shows no definite tendency toward a decline. Since 1896, as\nformer commissioner of labor Carroll D.\nWright has been forced to concede, lt\nhas Increased faster than wages, although wages in many classes of skilled and unsullied* labor have risen rapidly during the same period, owing\nlargely to the acUvlty of the unions.\nProduction Is only the beginning of\nprice making. Transportation and distribution are the determining factors in\nregulating the cost of living.\nThe bulging granaries ot the Dakotas,\nIowa, Missouri, Nebraska and Kansas\nsignify more traffic for the railroads, a\nfresh stimulus to foreign and domestic\ntrade, fuller employment tor labor and\na new Incentive lo capital to extend Its\nenterprises. Indirectly the farmer's\nprosperity niters outward and benefits\nall parts of the population. Directly lt\ncheapens the cost of food little or not at\nall to the average consumer, lt may\nmultiply the number of his days of work\n'Without in any measure adding to the\npurchasing power of his day's wages.\nThe production of wheat ln 1905 averaged 8% bushels per capita Instead of\no% bushels In 1904. The farmer had\nover 30 per cent more to sell out of\nlast year's hearvest than the year before and has received much less for\nevery bushel of It. But If the milling\ncombination's agent scales the price of\na barrel'of flour to the local baker of\nNew York, or Philadelphia, or Pittsburg, hla loaf of bread is neither larger\nnor cheaper to the laborer or the clerk.\nCheaper wheat does not mean cheaper\nbread.\nSecretary Wilson has frequently declared of late years that the days of\nchoap beef are past, although a few\nweeks ago he stated that heavy crops\nwould have a direct influence on beef,\npork, dairy products aud poultry. J.\nOgden Armour, the leading figure among\nthe Chicago packers, says that the high\nprices of meats must inevitably tend\nhigher. It is a fact that the great\nranches west of the Missouri have disappeared, with their immense herds of\ncheap grass-fed cattle. But the stock\nthe farmers raise now is larger and\nheavier. Even In the days of free ranges\nlu the arid region, com, \u00abnot government grass, governed the price uf beef\ncattle. There Is no shortage ot com,\naud ln his annual report secretary Wilson stated that the number both ot\nmilch cows and beef cattle has been\nsteadily Increasing for sevoral years.\nThe trutli ot the niarter is that the stock\ngrowers are as much at the mercy of\nthe great beef packers as are the retail\nbutchers and the small consumers. With\ntheir control of almost all the large\nstock yards, their ownership of private\nrefrigerate car lines, tho economies of\nconsolidated plants and the secret rebates so long exacted from the railroads,\nthe big packers have practically driven\ntheir smaller competitors out of business. The Incut slaughter houses so\ncommon in tho towns and cities of 25\nyears ago are today as rare or idle aa\ntho old waternower flour mills of tho\ncountry districts, ln nplte of the advice\nof well meaning economists and dietar-\nlans, the American consumer will accept no substitute for beef.\nWe are offered refrigerator beef and\nfish and poultry and eggs, California\nfruit and Georgia vegetables at all seasons. The common standard of diet has\nbeen raised and greater variety mado\npossible, but lt cannot be said that the\nwider gap between farm and kitchen\nand Improved methods of carriage\nmean cheaper living to that unnumbered class having the lowest Increase and\nthe largest percentage of expenditure\ntor mere subsistence.\nIn their fight against president Rosse-\nvelt'a policy of rate regulation the railroad Interests have exhibited figures to\nprove that If thoy carried the chief\ncommodities freely the man who buys\nfor his own consumption would receive\nno benefit. They demonstrated, for instance, by tables of freight rates, that\nlt cost 11 4-10 centa ln 1905 to haul\n11.08 wheat 1000 mlleB trom Chicago to\nNew York, as agalnBt 12 2-4 cents tor\n75 cent wheat ln 1897. By the comparison ot other schedules they showed\nthat railway freight rates do not rise\nand fall with wholesale and retail selling prices. During this period, however,\na number ot railroads have admitted\nthat they made a practice of granting\nsecret rates to favored shippers. There\n.... h\u00ab no nuesUon that the greatest In-\ncan be no question that\ncrease tn the cost of fooi\nyearB is represented by the charges oi\nthe middleman, whether they be the\nvarious food trusts or the commission\nhouses. Although the compulsion has\nbeen put on the American public to\npay Interest and dividends on thirteen\nbillions of railway capitalization, partly\nwater, the bare cost of transportation,\nalong the main lines ot traffic aa a\nwhole may be said to be not oppressive\nwhere uniformly levied. Discriminating\nrates, by one device and another, have\nworked more Injustice than excessive\nrates.\nTo the coat ot food must be added that\not shelter and clothing. Rent* ar* si'\nfscted hy land values, whloh naturally\nrise wherever population grows denser.\nThey bear lightly on the farmer as\ncompared with the city dweller. In the\nmost congested tenement districts of\nNew York rents have frequently Increased 50 per cent within five years, To\nmove to the outlying districts ot the\ncity or to the suburbs entails the added\ncoBt of traveling to work. The wage\nearner ln all the larger communities\nfinds It more and more difficult to get\nhousing near his place of employment.\nThe steadily mounting receipts of city\nand suburban railroads represent ln a\nlarge measure the equivalent of higher\nrents paid in daily nickels to transportation companies instead of monthly Instalments to landlords. By way of compensation, however, there are often better and more healthful surroundings,\nIf not actually Improved lodgings.\nThe sharp advance ln the cost of building haa been chiefly due to trust and\nlabor union Influences. Workers in the\nbuilding trades ln the last eight years\nhave demanded and secured rapid increases ln pay-\u2014In some trades 25 per\ncent, ln others as high as 40 per cent.\nLumber Is higher. Bricks, Bash, door\nand \"trim\" and window glass cost almost double what they did fifteen years\nago. All hardware has kept pace. The\nman who pays rent or board bills pays\nindirect tribute to the Steel Trust and\nthe brick and lumber combines, and\ncontributes his share of higher wages\nfor mason, carpenter and plasterer.\nSince 1897 there has been a persistent\nadvance ln the price of furniture, for\nwhich the demand is logically heaviest\nin times of prosperity. The diminishing\nsupply of native woods and the Dlngley\nduties conspire against a reduction.\nThe coal bill of the manufacturer, the\nlandloard and the tenant\u2014in the eud lt\nIb always the average consumer who\npays lt ln ono from or another\u2014was\nraised 50 cents a ton by the coal-mining railroads after the 1902 strike. Of\nthis the operator turned over about 15\ncents a ton to the mine workers, and for\nhis enforced generosity mulcted the consumer of the balance.\nIt Is more difficult to determine the\ncost of clothing. The mere price of materials Is deceptive ln these days of\nready made apparel. The federal department of labor and commerce, lu Its\n1904 report showed that, on the general\nwholesale cost of cloth and clothing for\nthe fourteen years beginning with 1890,\nthere has been a decline of 4% per\ncent. A high tariff has made wool\ndearer, but It has not induced the sheep\ngrowers to Increase their flocks. For\nevery six pounds ot wool grown ln the\nUnited States In the fiscal year 1904-05\nfive pounds had to be Imported to meet\nthe demand for all purposes. Cotton\nvaries ln price to'the spinner according\nto the crop, but cotton goods vary less\nover the retail counter, except as fash-\nIon decrees. The National Association\nof Shoe Manufacturers within a month\nhas declared for free hides, and intimate very plainly as an alternative that\nthe price of shoes must be raised.\nAccording to the Massachusetts bureau\nof statistics of labor, the family whose\nwage earner averages $1.50 a day spends\nonly about 10 per cent of Its income on\nclothing during the year. This Item of\nexpenditure, however, rises rapidly as\nthe annual Income Increases, as do sundry expenses for education, comfort and\nrecreation. As a rule, where Incomes\nrange from $460 to $1,000, mere subsistence, principally food, represents about\n55 per cent of the total family expenses,\nand the price of food today more than\never Is artificially regulated without regard to the actual supply.\nEvery wage earner, every house wife,\nknows that the Increase in the cost of\nliving during the last eight years has\nbeen greater than the increase ln wages.\nThe proof lies In the butcher's bill, the\ngrocer's bill and the landlord's bill. According to commodity prices on March\n1, Dun reports that the cost of living is\nhigher today than at any time within\ntho thirty years covered by Its records.\nUnquestionably It is costing more to\nlive, but no less certainly the conditions\nof life in the main have been made more\ncomfortable, more varied and more\nelastic. Dearer food, clothing and rent\nappear tolerable, not because the worker's unit of wages Is larger, but because\nhe receives moro units in the course of a\nmonth or a year in busy times. There\nIs bound to be another Btory. \"hen the\nlean years come as they do periodically.\nAs steadiness and certainty of emplm\nment diminish popular resentment Is\ncertain to become keener against a\nsystem of retail prices which bears less\nand less relation to the fundamental\nlaws of supply and demand\u2014New York\nIndependent\nALWAYS KEEP CHAMBBBLAINU\nCOUGH REMEDY IN HIS HOUSE\n\"We would not bo without chamberlain's\nCough Hsmedy.

In times past\nit was considered to be the proper tiling\nto wait tor sufficient capital to be In tne\ntreasury before opt-nlng and developing a\nnew property, and lt was regarded as bad\npolicy to allow less***s to work on mines,\nas tt was believed, and with good reason,\nthat In order to obtain as much results\nfrom their work as possible during tne\nterm of their lease they would leave tbe\nmine In bad shape.\nExperience has taught that the most\nspeed)' and direct method, as -well ns the\nmost satisfactory way to bring u district\ninto the productive period Is to allow\nlessees to open the new properties. Certain restrictions nre imposed as a rule\nand In the contracts there ts a clause as\nto what manner of work shall be dono\nduring the life of the lease, and In want\nshape the mine shall be left at its expiration.\nThe system has worked well In the new\n-mining districts of Nevada, muny of Uio\nmost Important mines being operated by\nlessees. Prom the flrst discovery In Nevada\nthe Mlsp&h In Tonopah, over *H,W\u00bb,TO0 worth\nof ore was sent to grass by the lessees Before the company took bold after the\nleases expired, and no mine Is in bettor\nshape than that. In the Ooldfleld district\nnnd In Bullfrog the same method was\nadopted and in the new camp of Manhattan the leasees are opening the mines.\nThe results have been that \"while the\nlessees were making money rapidly, in\nmost cases the lessors were receiving a\nremuneration ln the shape of liberal royalties and were at the same time having\nthe prospective development work done\nby practical miners at no more cost, pm-'\nhably, than they could do It. Another advantage was that while the men were\nputting brawn and brains against the\nchances of wealth, the new districts were\ndeveloped rapidly and 'became shipping\n.mlm-ji- In \"a comparatively short t|tn**.\nFrom thc time the prospector turned tne\nflrst piece of ore with hia pick to the time\nthe mines became shippers, 'the transition\nwaa amaxlngly quick. -Mining and Engineering Review.\nGIVE TOM BABY\nLACTATED FOOD\nAND YOU WILL SOON\nNOTE A HAPPY CHANGE\nMany mothers upon perolevlng that their\nlittle ones are not growing an healthy\nbabies should ask the question: \"Wnat\nshall we feed baby on?\" We answer\nwithout hesitation \"Lactated Food,\" the\nonly nourishment perfectly adapted for Infantile growth and expansion, lactated\nFood Is relished by every baby; it favors\ndigestive strength, It prevents dysentery\nand diarrhoea, it enables the child to rest\nand sleep well, and mother ie relieved ot\nall care and anxiety; Lactated Food makes\nstrong babies.
