THE COAl STRIKE TRUCE.
Tronble UI-sy Urcnk Outwam - Oj er-

It is persistently reiterated l.y the
New York ( . 'oinnurciai. one of the or
gans of th ? coal barons , that the min
ers' union will not he recognize- in the
strike arbitration. As this is one of
the principal issues between th'e coal
operators and the miners , it is possible
that the strike may break out afresh.
The truce effected by. both parties
agreeing to arbitrate their differences
before the commission was brought
about by PresidentRoosevelt , uideil by
public opinion that had decided against
the operators. The couimis.slon isbut
a makeshift , with no legalleg * to
stand on , there being no feilpral 'law
authorizing any such court. The paV-
ties to the strike caniiot be made 'fe
, abicle by any decision the eoiiimis ijpn
may render , and the coal ba'roris j sjre.
insistent that they will notsubmit
to treat with the miners as'tt national
organization or with any officer'- air

mine.- ; . ' -
Mr. Mitchell has called attention tp ,
the fact that < he coal. operators aiy3
the coal railroads are an interstate.orr.
ganization or. the sam plane as "the
miners' organization , andif the one ia
recognized there Is no good reason why
the other should not ! : < . . \ ,
As either the coal trust or the miners
are sure .to be dissatisfied with the de
cision of the arbitrators and neither is
locally bound by any decision they may
render , the dear public which burns
hard coal would do well tolay in its
winter stock at the lirst opportunity.
for the strike may break out in a fresh
place , with less chance of settlement.
There being no national election until
1904 , President Roosevelt and the poli
ticians will not be so interested in the
distress of the miners or of the people ,
and another long drawn out fight in the
anthracite coalfields may be in pros
pect.
It is understood that President Roose
velt brought the coal trust operators to
agree to the commission by the threat
of proceeding against them under the
interstate ami antitrust statutes. As
the price of coal has been advanced by
the trust , in spite of the staying of the.
strike , much beyond the price in former
3ears , the administration would seem
to be responsible for the high price if
no steps are taken to bring the trust
to time. If fear of the threat of the
president was sufficient to make them
agree to allow a commission to be ap
pointed , the same power could force
the trust to stop bleeding the public by
the high price of coal.
Neither President Roosevelt nor the
coal trust operators need think that the
coal consumers will be satisfied until
they are furnished coal at a reasonable
price. _
