A HEATED RESPONSE.
Much SunVrinjr at Strrator and Braldwoed
Owing; to th- strike or Lockout.
Chicago. June 23 A Chicago paper in
vestigated the condition of the mining
people in the coal mining towns ot Braid
wood and Streator in Illinois. It says:
The normal population of Braid wood
is about 5,000, all dependent upon the
coal mining industry for their dtily
bread. At tuts time not one ouqos
of coal is being mined and the in
habitants are at the point of starv
ing. Men, women and children alike
share in the bli ht which has overcast this
section. The causes of the stagnation are
two, ihe continued depression in the coal
industry here and the culminating strike
cr lock -on which has placed 1,5-0 bread
winners beyond the possibility ot utilizing
their labor.
Most of the single men and soma of the
married m-n have left in search of work.
Many families with six, eight or ten chil
dren are without a morsel of food in the
house. Some who have gardens are
living on potatoes aad lettuc.
Many have not tasted meat this
year. Food supplies in small amounts
have been sent them, but they.are totally
inadequate to the necessities of the case.
There is a pressing and immediate aeces
sity for relief for these poor people. Not
less than 3.000 women and children are ia
absolute want of food, and relief can aot
be too quickly sent them.
At Streator about 2,500 miners have
been idle for sever .1 weeks, resisting a
proposed reduction ot ten cents per ton
in the price of mining. To date about 830
applicants for relief have keea re
ceived. The relief committee states
that many families are living on
bread aad water, and that there are about
900 applicatioas for help that they have
failed thus far to relieve oa account ot
lack of funds.
