EACH SIDE MAKES .CLAIMS. | Extra Efforts Made by Operators to Mine Coal. WILKESBARRE, Pa., .Oct. 13.—What was looked upon as an important day in the matter of resumption of work in the coal mines passed without' any se- ricus trouble. Each side to the contro- versy is claiming a victory. Reports re- ceived here from coal camps all over the region are to the effect that at least twelve collieries and four washeries startt ed operations to-day. President Mitchell asserted that the re- ports received by him from his lleuten- ants in the field showed that fewer men were at work to-day than last week. It | is quite evident that extra efforts were made on both sides to gain an advantage. The soldiers of the Third Brigade were | sent into the outlying mining towns in this region long before starting-up time to patrol the roads leading to the collieries. In some places the soldiers were scat- tered in twos and threes along the streets and on street corners, but they were not compelled to resbue any one from the strikers. The company. superintendents are authority for the statement that for the past two days the mine workers have been again making - house-to-house, can- vasses all over the entire territory¥hold- ing the men in line, and that if it were not for this method of keeping the men m work there would have been a large increase in the number of employes at work. One superintendent in speaking of | the situation as it exists to-day said: “The number who returned to work to- day was not very large, but the move- ment in that direction was . gratifying. The companies did not make. a great cf- fort to break the ranks of the strikers, preferring to walt until to-night's confer- ences are over. Théy have held out false hepes to the men,' and as soon as they are over the men will see that there is no use to hold out amy longer and will be glad to resume work.* In an interview to-day President Mitch- ell summed up the general situation asJ (0AL STRIE SETTLED, CPERATORS AGREEIG 10 ARBITRN follows: “I have heard from every point in the coal region to-day, and my information is to the effect that fewer men are at work to-day than there were last week' There were desertions from the camps at Hazleton, Scranton, the Panther Creek Valley and Shamokin.

The Believue colliery of the ackawanna Company, which it claimed was started, hoisted two. cars and then shut down; the Johnson col- lieries, Nos. 1 and 2, of the New York, Ontario and Western Company, contrary to report, did not move a wheel; at the Lettimer mines of Pardee & Co. the mine foreman raised some coal that had been gathered at the bottom, but no new men started there, as is reported.

SAN JUAN, Porto Rico, Oct. 13.—There were riotings and shootings at political meetings in several towns yesterday. The most serfous disturbance was at Guaya- ma. A large mob of Republicans near there attacked three prominent Federals, among whom was the local president of the party, Romaguera. The Federals re- turned the fire of their opponents and killed Elias Santos, a Republican, and wounded others. Romaguera was wound- ed. The three Federals and eleven others were arrested and placed in jail.

Morgan, Root, Bacon and Secretary Cortelyou all came downstalrs together. Secretary“Cortelyou handed to the wait- |ing press representatives the following:, official statement: AN OFFICIAL STATEMENT. J. P. Morgan came to Washington with his partner, Mr. Bacon, at the request of the coal companies, who desired that as a matter of ‘courtesy their statement should be shown to the President before it was made public. Hav- ing been {aid before the President by Mr. Mor- gan, it is now given to the press: “To the Public: The managers of the differ- ent coal properties comprising the anthracite | coal fields wish their position in the present strike to be understood, and therefore make the following statement of facts: ““There are in the anthracite region about seventy-five operating companies and firms gnd | 147,000 miners and workmen (of which 30,000 |.are under age), comprising some twenty na- tionalities and dialects. ““Of these workmen possibly one-half belong to the United Mine Workers' Union, of which Mr, John Mitchell is president. That organiza- tion was originally formed in the bituminous coal region and three-fourths of its members are miners of bituminous coal, and bituminous coal is gold in active competition with anthra- cite coal. The remairing workmen in the an- thracite fields either belong to no union what- | ever or do mot belong to the = Mine Workers' Union. 2 “The present strike was declared by the Mine Workers' Union on the tenth day of May, 1902. Since that time many workmen not be- longing to or not willing to follow that organ- ization were working about the mines. From seven to ten thousand are now at work. Many more have wished to Work, but have been pre- vented by a course of violence and intimidation, by the destruction of properties and the fear of death or bodily harm to every man who wishes to exercise his right to work. PLEA FOR ALL WORKERS. “A schedule is annexed hereto shawing’some of the things done to create this reign of terror, and every instance stated cas be yverified by reference to the officers of the law—civil and military—in the anthracite regions. This viola- tion has continued and steadily increased, not- withstanding repeated disavowals by Mr. Mitchell, and it is cléar that he elther cannot or will not prevent it, and that the rights of the other workmen cannot be protected under the supremacy of the Mine Workers' Union. The coal companies believe that the wages paid in the coal regions are fair and full, and all that the business In its normal condition is able to stand if the capital Invested is to have any reasonable return. The profits have been small, several of the companies have become bankrupt and been reorganized several times. Several have never pald dividends, and the dtvidends of the others have besn a smail return for the capital invested. ' It is not,-however, the purpose of this statement to discuss this question. “*“The undersigned ‘are not, nor never have been unwilling to submit all questions between them and their workmen to &ny fair tribunal for decision. They are not willing™to enter into arbitration with the union of miners, a union composed of men in a rival and com- petitive interest, and they are not willing to make any arrangement which will not securs to the men now working, and all now or here. after WishIng to work, Whether they belong to the Mine Workers' Union or not," the right and opportunity to work in safety and with- out personal injury or insult to themselves or their familles. For, these reasons the arbitra- tions heretotore p: have been declined. “It will be remembered that at the confer- ence in Washington, October 3, we made the following offer: That we would take up at each colliery any alleged grievance and in the event of a failure to make satisfactory ad- Justment the questions at lssue to be -sub- mitted to the final decision of .the Judges of the Court of Common. Pleas of the district in which the colliery is located. ~This offer was made by us in good faith and we desire here to reaffirm it. YIELD TO PUBLIC DEMAND. ‘“The coal companies realize that the urgent public need of coal and the apprehension of 1 an inadequate supply for the approaching wir- | ter call for an earnest effort to reach a prac- tical conclusion which will result in an in- creased supply, and the presidents of the com- panies desire (o make every effort to that end which does not involve the abandonment of the interests committed to their care and of the men we are working and seeking to work in their mines. This responsibility they must bear and meet as best they can. ““They therefore state their position: That they are not discriminating against the union mine workers, but they insist the miners’ unfon shall not discriminate against or refuse to work with non-union men; that there shall be no restriction or deterforation in quantity or quality of work, and that owing to the varying _physical conditions of the anthracite mineés each colliery is a problem by itgelf. ““We ruggest a commission to be appointed by the President of the Unfted States (if he is willing to perform that publi¢ service) to whom ghall be referred all questions at issue between the respective companies and their own employes, whether they belong to & union Or not, but the decislon. of that commission #hall be accredited by us.

She had more than 150 | passengers, who weré hurrying to the “outslde fog the winter, and was following { the usual summer channel. The receding | ! walter was directly the cause of the acci- i dent. The river was low and the boat ran into a hidden bowlder, the- existence of which had not been suspected on pre- vious trips. 3 - As soon as the La France struck there was a gréat commotion aboard. She met the obstruction with terrible force and it was expected ‘every - momient that she would sink. Without a momént's hesita- | ! tion, however, the master of the vessel jammed the craft around into the bank, where she rested safely. It was found that two of her ribs were broken and ! some of the timbering stove in, but tem- porary repairs were effected and the journey was continued to White Horse. The Canadian was en route from Daw- son to White Horse and also had a large list of passengers. She went hard and fast on the Hell's Gate bar and the pas- sengers were transferred to another ves- sel and taken on up the river. At'last reports the Canadian was still on the bar and her erew were making strenuous ef- [ forts to get her into navigable water be- fore the freeze-up came. 2 The Humboldt brought $900,000 in Klon- dike gold and eighty-two passengers from | the north. | @ittt ittt @ MAKE REPORT OK IRRIGATION.

Re- garding this peint the commission says: LARGE QUESTION. It that be the law, and It cannot be changed or modified, there is probably no water ip any stream in the State that can be legally appro- priated, and the right to the use of water that has been appropriated heretofore has only been acquired by the sufferance of riparian owners or their neglect to assert thelr rights.

Principals and Witnesses Are Ready for the Opening Te-Day. Special Dispatch to The Call. GLEN ELLEN, Oct. 13.—Before to-mor- row night Dr. William Lawior will know whether he is to be retained as head of the Glen Ellen Home for Feeble-Minded or whether he is to pack his grip and go. Everything is in readiness for the in- vestigation, which will begin at 11 o’clock to-morrow forencon. The witnesses for both ‘sides are on the ground. President Gould of the Board of Trustees and Mr. Leland, another member of the board, ac- companied by their wives, arrived at the home to-night. The other trustees, Rev. A. C. Bane, Father Lyons and Colonel Harrington, will come on to-morrow's early train. Dr. Dawson, who was chosen superin- tendent of the institution on the resigna- tion of Dr. Lawlor, but who has not yet qualified, will be on hand to-morrow with his bond, ready to assume the dutles of the office. A careful analysis of the situation as it presents itself to-night irresistibly forces the conclusion that Dr. Dawson will not be inducted into office to-morrow. In- deed, thére s serious doubt whether he will ever fill this position. The Sentiment of the majority of the board is clearly with Dr. Lawlor, and if given the slight- est ‘excuse they will retain him. The programme of to-morrow’'s proceedings, as cutlined to The Call correspondent to- day by one of the trustees, Is as follows ‘When the board convenes at 11 o’clock to-morrow Colonel Harrington, Dr. Law- lor's most persistent cpponent, will move that Dawson's bond be formally accepted and that he be forthwith placed in charge of the institution. Either Gould or Le- lané will move that this questien be de- ferred until Dr. Lawlor has had an op- portunity of being heard on the charges against him. If this motion carries, as it doubtless will, one-half of Lawlor's bai- tle will have been won. At the conclusion of the investigation, which probably will last two or three days, Leland or some trustee friendly to Lawlor will move that the board take under consideration the testimony sub- mitted and should the board after due and deliberate consideration find Dr. Law- lor innocent of the charges against hime it will recommend that he be permitted to recall his resignation and remain at the head of the institution. Just how well this plan will be carried into execution is, of course, an open ques- tion. One thing, however, is certain, as the situation appears to-night, Dr. Law- lor has three friends at court, constitut- ing a majority of the Board of Trustees, and if he retains their suppert, as he likely to do, there will be.no immediate change In the management.
