CHICAGO, Oct. 2. President Morton cf the International Aoclatlon of Stationary Engineers and Firemen listed today tbat II members of tbe aaaoclatlon an over tbe country would be ordered to refute to fcandle any anthracite coal until every mem ber affectad by the anthracite strike ta re Instated on tbe basis on which the miners returned to work. Tbe brotherhood has a membership of 14.000 and has local anions In 114 towns and cltlea. Including Chicago, New York, Boston. Philadelphia, Cincinnati. Cleve land. Baltimore, St- Louis, Kansas City, Denver and San Francisco. President Morton declared his organization waa In a position to shut out hard coal In all cltlea where It had local unions and said such action would be taken It, necessary (or the protection of members who had lost their positions on account of ths Lhracite coal strike. This Is President Morton's Tlew of the Situation: According to all reports from the eastern mine our men are getting the worst of It, and while the miners are being reinstated xney are leit out in the cola. Our organization does not propose allow Ing Its members to be victimised, and as we cannot call a strike at the mines, non union men seeming to be In possession of me jone, wa sill attempt to secure the re instatement of our members by shutting out anthracite coal wherever we can. While negotiations looking toward a set tlement were on, we did not wish to Inter fere In any way, although we feared our rnen would get tbe worst of the bargain. We believe the action of the firemen and engineers in quilting work. helped the Winers to win the tight. Although It is true a majority of the firemen are members of the miners' union, they have retained their membership In our union and have already asked tar enr ajtatstance. We propose to give It to them and I am going to call a meeting of tbe executive board when action will be taken looking to that end. I will advocate that our members be or dered to refuse to handle anthracite roal and aa to my mind this Is the only method that will bring tbe operators to time, I be lieve the board will adopt my suggestion. President Morton said when the Ehamo fcla convention of the miners was held previous to the strike. President Tom Bar , 4tt(. and Secretary . J. P. Mullah y of Che ' state district at Pewheylvania, were pres ent In the interest of the firemen and asked what protection they would receive pro vided they went on strike In sympathy with the minora. According to President Morton they were advised to get Into the miners' union, but were assured the miners would stand by them. He Is now of the opinion that the miners have not lived up to their promises strictly. Maay Mlaee Start Atala. WILXESBARRE. Pa.. Oct. II.

Ths mining of coal with union miners was resumed la the Wyoming valley this morning. There waa much actlTlty at all of the collieries, but owing to the con dition of many of the mines ths full quota of men could not be employed. The file basses reported that many places were la a dangerous condition and the superintendents refused to allow the miners to eater those placea. At least It per cent of tbe mines la this depart, ment will not be able to reeume work for several weeks, aa the lower litis are atlll flooded.

MARTIAL LAW IS PROCLAIMED Strike ntatarbaaeee at Dwaklrk, Frasre, Reaalt la Serleas State at Affairs. la rase Instituted against the Northern Se curities company, tbe Great Northern snd the Northern Pacific was continued today and an adjournment taken to New York. Today's witnesses were Colonel Clough and President Mellen. Colonel W. P. Clough, vice president and counsel tor the Northern Securities com pany, wss recalled to the stand to testify nd in the course of his testimony he lden- Ified for record a map of the territory cov ered by the railroads interested, for the purpose of demonstrating that even if it had been so desired It would not hsve been possible for them to control the rstes com pletely on 10 per cent of the traffic carried lb the territory through which they run. Witness told of the organization of tbe Northern Securities compsny. The capital tock was placed high enough to enable the directors to acquire any desired railroad or industrial stock. "Joint tariffs," he said later, "greatly facilitated the movement of freight. This arrangement makes a single route out of several independent onea and is the par ticular point In which the railroads of the I'nlted States are far superior to those of Europe." Colonel Clough, on cross-examination. admitted that Mr. Hill's policy would prob ably be supported In the Northern Securi ties company. He insisted tbat there had never been any attempt to consolidate the Northern Pacific and Great Northern, and held that the only action taken had been the personal acts of Individual sharehold ers. The effect of possible adverse legislation had been one influence In tbe organization of tbe Great Northern Seruritlea company, as some supreme court decisions hsd made the question of vested right a little uncer tain and they even feared that their char ters might be taken away. Stockkolders Set Coaealted. He denied that Northern Pacific stock holders had been consulted before the arti cles of the Northern Securities company were filed, but admitted that J. Plerpont Morgan, a large holder of Northern Pa cific, D. Willis James and other holders In both roads had been consulted and had con sented to put their stock in a holding com pany. Much time was given to questions about Increases in capital stock of the Great Northern, all of which Colonel Clov-gr said have been sold at par to stockholders. Hs insisted that the $92,000,000 par value of Great Northern stock represented a genuine valuation. The Securities company held proxies for all Northern Pacific and Great Northern stock deposited. He admitted tmrTMa wirta bcrnr --Tnarrty -anC there was nothing to prevent the election of Identical boards of directors for both roads except the laws of the country, which posi tively forbid such action. C. 6. Mellen. president of the Northern Pacific railroad, stated positively that his company had not, as an organization, taken any part in tbe formation of tbe Northern Securities company. He believed that tbe purchase of the Burlington had promoted commerce, having opened wider markets. He regarded tbe lumber business secured for the Northern Pacific and tbe Burling ton jointly as business made. His road gave no orders to the Burling ton, but tbe tart of a common ownership tended to better feeling between the oflV ciala of the various lines and thereby pro moted business. The hearing will be resumed In New Tork on November 10. John R. Mott, leader of the student move ment throughout the worlB. Bishop Tho bura snnounced that he whs authorised to say that if tbe conference would subscribe 1150.000 an anonymous gentleman would give $100,000.

With hands clasped, each one In that ot his neighbor, and with hearts full and faces rsdisnt, the Disciples of Chrlet closed tbelr International convention at tbe Coll- aeum last night at o'clock with the sing ing of "God Be with Us Till We Meet Again," and a benediction by Rev. Alna Eaaon, atate evangelist of Oregon. After ward the crowd sifted out slowly, soms remaining for the stereoptlcon views of Hswsii shown by W. C. Weed on, who wss sent out by the Chamber of Commerce of Honolulu. The evening was one of consecration. conducted by Rev. H. A, Denton of War rensburg. Mo., and with talks by Evange lists J. V. Coombs of Indiana, Alvln Essen of Oregon, W. F. Richardson of Kanaas City and H. A. Northcutt of Klrksvllle. Mo. When the session waa opened ths con secration service waa deferred long enough for C. A. Young, editor of the Christian Century, Chicago, to preaent on behalf of some of the 6,5M visiting delegates who had registered when the books closed, a couch. The recipient was C. 8. Payne. chairman of the local committee, who re plied modestly that he had the best lieu tenants a captain ever had and that they all were content In the thought tbat tbe convention had done a great good for the cause of primitive Christianity In this neighborhood and In tbe world at large. These sentiments were echoed by the local Christian pastors. Revs. Hilton and Hill and Rev. W. B. Crswdson of Council Bluffs, which latter speaker gave particu lar attention to tbe street meetings ha has superintended and prophesied that the work would grow. Mate Cklldrea Slag;. Most pleasing and novel In the list of musical numbers of tbs convention was the expression of "Nearer, My God, to Thee," by six girls from the State Institute ' for the Peat Miss Ota Crawford, one of their instructors at the Institute, aaag aeveral atanzas and tha young; women gar translation in their graceful sign language, reading from-the movement of her tips.

Miss May Park, assistant pastor of tha church at Beatrice, Neb., also contributed a solo. All day yesterday the delegates were de parting and last night's trains carried hun dreds, but still other hundreds remain to day to visit various points ot interest about the city.

Small speaks at noon today at tbe Young Men's Christian association rooms. This morning the convention furnishings will be removed and the Coliseum becomes tbe great silent hall It was before. The local committee will have another meet ing today or tomorrow, and then close the headquarters in the Millard hotel. Debate Waaes Perseaal. Earnest, even vehement expression waa given todlvual opinions on Christian union at yesterday's aessloa at tbs Coliseum. Some personal questions wrr addressed and in their answering it once occurred that a speaker designated as "utterly, unqualifiedly and maliciously false" a report concerning him ta which another speaker appeared to give credence. Again, tbe charge was made that the resolution ot Tuesday night approving the federation of churches had been "rail roaded through" by methods which Presi dent Breeden, had he been in tha chair, would not have permitted. The discussion was precipitated and In vited by Dr. B. B. Tyler, president of tbe International Sunday febool association, and now a pastor In Denver. He haa been cred ited with founding tbe work of the Chris tian church in Omaha twenty-four years ago and has been a leader in the affaire of tbe church for decade, but despite his white hair Is still a speaker of powerful voice, humorous lendencle and aa Indiffer ence to public opinion that be gave expres sion to Thursdsy from ths rostrum la these words: "You msy damn me or not I had ratber be damned by some mil than saved by them." Steads for Chrlstlsa t'nlea. Dr. Tyier read aa addreas la which hs stood squarely and openly tor Christian union, saying' "To voluntarily remain divided Is voluntarily to remain In sin. Our divisions binder the work ot evangelisation at home and abroad." In his Introductory remarks Dr. Tyler made reference, without using names, to the action of Editor J. A. Lord of tbe Christian Standard and others to defeat tbs federa tion resolution ot Tuesday nlgbt aad added, with an amiable smile: "Just because I wasn't here with my patent spankoblle you behaved very badly." Evacge'ist Simpson Ely of Minnesota hsd been with Lord in tbe protest and this reference apparently nettled him, for later he dragged forth a charge against Tyler. At tbe concluiion of Dr. Tyler's address be propounded three queries and Invited a general dlaruation of them. Tbe discus sion didn't follow tbs lines hs laid down, but were none the less electrifying ta the convention, wblch Is still quits largely at tended. His queries were: "What modification or modifications of our proposition on the aubject ot Christian union ought we make?" "Wtat feat urea of our plea for union ought to be made especially prominent ta meet the changed conditions?"
