It was not the of of the Unitet Mine Workers union who called the strike. it will never end. until you vote it ended.

The American people, like & jury, haye passe upon this conflict. They heard of the ngomn' requests for betterment of condl- tions and the operators’ 'refusal. The: heard of the gniners’ proposition to_ arbi- trate and the operators' refusal. Ninety per cent of the people have agreed that the miners are right and the operators wrol 1 understand _there is some dissatisf tion and misunderstanding about the di bution of the-relief fund.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 1.—The navy peo- ple hope to offset the recent development in high explosives and armor plercing projectiles by the army through a com- siderable improvement In the resisting power of the armor plating of a battleship. Lieutenant Cleland David, aitached to the naval ordnance bureau, produced an armor plate, which recently was tested at proving grounds at Bethlehem, and the results encourage the naval officlals here to belleve that the armor plate has again overtaken the gun in the never-ending struggle for supremacy. This plate Is obtained by a novel process, carbon befng driven directly into the surface of the bot plate by an in. tensely powerful current of electricity, the results being a face as hard as glass and of any thickness desired, supported by a tough back, which it is clalined cannot be cracked. The depth of the hardening is regulated by the length of time the ourrent plays upen the plate. It s claimed that an average plate can be completely treated eloctrieally in five hours. Moreover, the plate is claimed to be a third lighter for the same re- sisting power, which means a great saving to constructors.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 1.—The board of construction of the Navy department had & meeting today and decided upon the eneral, plans for the two new gunboits authorized by the last maval appropria- tion act.. They will follow ‘very closely Marfetta type. The displacement will be slightly in excess of that of Marletta, being 1,060 tons, as against 1,000 in the case of Marletta, and -this-probably will decrease the speed, with the same horse- power, 1,000 in-each case, from thirteen knots to approximately twelve and a half. The batteries ‘will be identical with those of Marietta &nd Wheellng--six four-inch guns, four six-pounders and two one- pounders. There will be some minor changes in the Internal arrangementy of boflers, ete., but the principal change will be an additional foot of free board and an overhanging stem, which it is belis will keep the ships somewhat dryer.

Nothing Shen, te Do at Target Practice, WILKESBARRE, Pa., Aug. 1.—President Mitchell started to work early today upon & reply to the open letter addressed to him yeaterday by the Citizens’ alllance of Wilkesbarre, an .rganization made up of busin and professional men and others. In an address at the convention of miners Of the First district of the United Mine Workers, held at Nantlcoke some weeks Ago, Mr. Mitchell criticised the alllance be- cause, he claimed, it was not consistent. It wanted to prosecute all miners who vio- lated the law, he claimed, but overlooked the many violations)of the law committed every day by the coal combination. The alllance replied in an open letter in which it enumerated many outrages said to have been committed by strikers and others in the coal region since the strike bey Mr. Mitchell was called upon to de- fine his position and to lesue a prociamation to his followers warning them to keep on the side of law and order. He made no re- Ply to the letter. Yesterday the alllance issued another open lettér to the labor chief and after conmsult- ing with his advisors Mr. Mitchéll decided to answer it. In hig reply he takes the ground that he has always been a staunch defender of law and order and that his fol- lowers know it. Mr. Mitehell had nothing to eay with ref- erence to the sult in equity brought against him and other national officers of the United Mine Workers by a coal company in West Virginia. Text of Mitehell's Reply. President Mitohell, in the course of his Teply to the Citizens’ allfance, which com- munication he made public this afternoon, eays: Permit me to say that I do not recog- nize your rights to make demands upon me to specifically deciare myself opposed 10 any special ciass of lawlessness. As a cittgen of the @ the chief executive of the miners organisation, 1 have declared un innumerable ns and in language not susceptible mis- construction that 1 am opposed to law- lessness of every character and I do not to conform 1o alliance, naniely, while inveighin occs of ence on the side of law and order knd I can say without egotism that the m:ners’ union and its officers have done more for the Conservation of peace than nil tne citizous’ alliances that have been or could by foimec by men like yourselves, whote Symputhy with the poor ‘and oppressed is like unto the friendship Brutus enter- thned fur Caesar, I did not assume to say that there have not been some tran members of the miners say, and defy you to successfully contra- dlof the atatement that thers has heen much less lawlessries on miners—and that which hi been less serious—in proportion 'to their of the deputies al ard fron police who ars churged with authority and are specifically com- missioned to preserve the law and against whon you have made no protest and your assoclation taken no @ctlon whatsoever. And, lllfih's. the records In the police courts will demonstrate that a smalle, number of miners have beei eonvicted of crimes in the anthracite mining towns dur- ing the progress of the strike than for a like period preceding it. ] Again, 1 have no hesitancy in sayin there never was a great industrial, political or social in which: there w little real lawlessness a8 has existed in the anthracite region since the . strike was inaugurated. As I sald (o my gpeech at Nanticoke—to which you took ption—the miners are as law- abiding, patriotic, as liberty-loving as iny other class of citizens in our country, and 1 shall not pe it you to malign them or defame the residents of this community either by direct charge or insinuation with- out registering an emphatic protest. Guard Expense'is Heavy. PHILADELPHIA, Aug. L—No men ha been sent to the anthricite coal regions from this ety to.mct as mine guards for more than two weeks past. The reason as- signed is that the big operstors by whom these were employed have found the ex- pense too heavy and that, morsgver, they came to the conclusion that the lakge force which had been engaged In this_ elty, New York, Baltimore and the south was not re- quired. It was, therefore, determined to drop at least 30 per cént of the total num- ber engeged, éstimated 0 be about 5,000, and after that reduction occtrred to il the places with men who could be seeured for the work at lower wages. 2 All of those who were bired in Phila. phia Feceived §2.60 per ddy. About 10,000 were thus contracted for. Of these it is be- Iteved that 300 to «00 have return¥d home. Their places were .lled with men Who could be got in the coal country itself for $2.00 a day. ‘ Bollermakers on a Strike. CHICAGO. 'Aug. l.—~Bollernfakers and shipbullders and their helpers Yo the Aum- ber of 1,500 men, employed in the contract and job ‘shops In this city, struck today because the master bollermakers’ assoct: tion “refused to concede’ demands made upon them. : | The principal demand 18 an increase in the wage .acile of the bollermakers from, 80 cents an hour to 85 cents for Inside work and 50 cents for outside work. Help- gr and heaters want an increase from 13 15 cents for'inside work and from 25 to 30 cents for outside work. Other demands are Recognition, nine-hour day funside and_elght-hour day outside, double time for boliday work and time and one-halt tor overtime. The bollermakers and helpers declare they are determined to secure the advance and are prepared to continue the strike fm- definitely If necessary. The master boller- makers have offered to concede advance of 7 per cent, but say it is impossible to grant all the demands of the union. It is feared the strike will tle up all work in the branches affected. Before noon today it was reported by union officlals that hundreds of boilermak- ers were leaving Chicago to seek work in adjacent citfes. Practically all work at boller sbops has ceased and hardly any palring or work vn smokestacks is in op: ation. Employes predict that the strike will kill the boilermaking business in this olity. Already, they declare, other citles can secure workmen at much cheaper wages than are now paid here, and, as & consequence, work is being diverted in their favor. HARRISBURG, Pa., Aug 1.—Governor Stone's general order placing troops on duty at Shenandoah was made public today by Adjutant General Stewart.
