‘ euntuanea by the Press Publishing Company, No. 3 to @ Park Row, New York. Hntered at the Post-OMice at New York as Second-Class Mall Matter. VOLUME 42. y ee IN A NUTSHELL, 'The appointment by President Roosevelt of a special | commissioner to investigate the cos © dy resulted in the publication of the correspondence be- "tween the coal road presidents and the representative of “the miners. The burden of the replies of the operators they unite in refusing to recognize in any way the @iners’ Union or to have any thing to do with it gemers is “dictation; the suggestion of a @eo National Civic Federation is “outside interference,” which is dismissed with a sneer at the “highly respect- able body” and the “eminent prelates” who are members of it. The coal road presidents throw down the gaunt- Jet to the Mine Workers’ Union and challenge it to 1 fight to a finish, the public, as usual, to be the chief su ferers.

In the matter of the suicide of Alice Levis at the Plaza Hotel, Coroner J on first suppressed the re- © port of the suicide for forty-eight hours; then, when the case was jorted from the girl's home in St. F Louis, he endeavored to paste a false and misleading report in his books; lastly, when called on for an ex- planation, he mentions among varied exeuses that it was an oversight, that he is not obliged to report, that he has had trouble with his eyes, t at such an oom has no right to hear of these things. By what principle of selection is such a remarkable person as Dr. Jackson chosen for the office of Coroner? ‘i The Country's Mainstay.— 1 ys the most important .
