STRIKERS SEEK ENORMOUS FUND Ask General Aid In Fight ' Against Coal Magnates. MILLIONS WILL BE NEEDED Not Only Labor Organizations, But the Public as Well, Will Be Appealed to For Funds. ROADS FEEL STRIKE. A special from Wllkesbarre, Pa., mays: A national defense fund to which all organised labor and the pub lic in general will be oslced to contrib ute is the latest proposition placed on foot to help the striking anthracite coal miners if they need assistance in their struggle for higher wages and a shorter work day. Harry White, of New York, secre tary of the National Garment Workers and a member of the conciliation com mittee of the National Civic Federa tion, held a long conference with Presi dent Mitchell Tuesday, during which tho piah- was approved by the miners' chief, and Mr. White will begin at once preparations to carry out the idea. President Mitchell wants It un derstood, however, that tho miners' union will accept no aid until their own resources are exhausted. Mr. White went to Wllkesbarre authorized by several labor organisations. Mr. White says: ‘‘Mr. Mitchell says that before solic iting outside support the miners at work must set the examples them selves by contributing a -considerable portion of their earnings to sustain their fellow members in the bard coal fields who are fighting their common battle. •"Efforts wiil also be made to origi nate a movement'throughout .the coun try that the union and other untops may proceed to collect funds when the time is propitious. Public men will also undertake an Independent, move ment and receive subscriptions from those not, connected with labor organi zations. This movement will be Inau gurated In New York city and the la bor organisations and sympathizers in all the principal cities of the country will be called on to appoint commit tees to carry on similar work. “All friendly newspapers will be. asked to cooperate. -The scheme, In brief, contemplates the concentration of the energy and resources of organ ized labor In behalf of the miners' cause, a result which has never before been achieved. “It Involves the raising of a given amount of money each week with which provisions and other necessities of life will be purchased. The plan has the approval of President Samuel -Gompers. "Tho entire plan Is contingent upon the Indianapolis convention of mine workers voting down a motion for a general strike, as, la that event, the aid which the soft coal miners would bo able to; render would bo cut oft it would bo out of the question to try to malntaln s the vast number of people who would 1 be Involved. “The operators aro counting upon the means of the miners soon becom ing exhausted and when It is demon strated to them that the funds will be forthcoming to prolong the contest In definitely, If need be, the situation will bo changed materially.” Personally. Secretary White disap- - proves of tho proposed general suspen sion order, as well as of sympathetic strikes in general. Frleght Handlers at Chicago Seem to Have Things doing Their Own Way. The freight handlers’ strike at Chi cago which called out 9, 000 men Mon day and seriously curtailed the hand ling of freight, appeared no nearer settlement Tuesday morning than at the beginning. Chairman Job, of the state board of arbitration, when asked it he had re ceived an answer from the railroads or the men to his offer of arbitration, answered In the negative. At all the freight houses, pickets en deavored to persuade newcomers from taking jobs, and sought to lure men away already at work. In the yards of the Illinois Central the men brought in Monday were at work on perish able freight.' They spent the night In sleeping cars brought for the purpose, and ate their breakfast in dining cars, mostly of the pattern used on c6nstruc- tlon trains. A man familiar with the present trouble and experienced in strikes said: “If the teamsters come to the aid of the fre|ght handlers they will win; If not, the chances are that they will lose. It is too easy for the railroads to bring In new men.” This statement is full of meaning In connection-with the statement of offl- clals of the Teamsters’ union, who have said that' the freight handlers proceeded to strike without the sanc tion of the Chicago Federation of La bor, and therefore they would be al lowed to fight out their own salvation. The jobbing interests of the city are seriously tied up in their qhlpplng which left the freight yards are In many Instances still waiting to be un loaded. The roads so far have had but little chance of handling anything save perishable freight. { GEORGIA. { e e DOCTORS 1VKKK OPPOSED. entire Family muiidkuf.d.

But the London Times and other pa pers of Tuesday morning confirmed the Associated Press announcement. From the same excellent source the Associated Press learns that the press ing forward of the coronation was due to the personal Insistence of the king. His doctors were at first opposed to such an early date but the king de clined to agree to any other, plans un til he Id crowned and the doctors final ly realizing that more danger was like ly to arise in opposing his majesty on this point agreed to It. They now see the king was right and that it will be far better for him to get through the turmoil of the coronation as soon as possible than to have it hanging over him for months. King Edward has de termined not to break up the court at Buckingham palace until after the con onatlon. He may go on board bis yacht tor a few days’ cruise, but be i> more likely to remain In London till the affair Is oven and then take a pro longed holiday. TO OPEN DEMOCRATIC CAMPAIGN. Chairman Griggs of Congressional Committee Consults With Cable Judge. Griggs, of Georgia, chairman of the democratic congressilonal com mittee, left Washington Tupsday morn ing for New York, whero he will meet Ben T. Cable, chairman of the execu tive committee, on the latter’s return from Europe.' "Our campaign will commence at once,” said Judge Griggs, “and the Is sue wtll be tariff nurtured trusts. The republicans can not satisfy the people by having their president tour the country talking against the trusts. They have sinned away their day of grace by refusing to consider trust legislation, when they had ample op portunity and when every democrat in congress would have . olned them.” The headquarters of the committee will be opened at once In Chicago.

Park has been busy for the last day or two paying tbe July Interest on the state’s bond ed debt. Alt of the checks have been sent out in payments of the Interest on the registered bonds and the coupons are coming In rapidly in exchange for the state’s cash. Captain Park says that those hold ing coupons can just as well have them cashed at their local banka, thereby avoiding trouble or danger In sending them to Atlanta. The coupons are pay able In New York, and there Is no rea son, he says, why they should not bg cashed at par at any bank. Tbe total of the July Interest paid out amounts to about $160,000. • * * Government May Investigate. The United States government will very likely be appealed to on account of the wholesale destruction of tbe cat fish and carp in the Ocmulgee just be low Macon.' People living along the banks of the river say that the dead fish float down the stream In car load quantities and the stench Is unbearable. The cause of the trouble ic only conjec tural. Some have said It must be due to the placing of lime in the stream for the purpose of killing a few fish, and the effect Is worse than was Intended. Others say It Is due to poisonous sew erage that dumps Into the river. The authorities are being urged to take a hand and see if a remedy canno: be found.

After two hours’ discussion of the matter tbe committee decided to write letters to the Atlanta city council, to the Georgia and Central railroads, and to President Samuel Spencer, of the Southern, asking for certatn definite and specific replies to certain definite and specific questions, and the replies, it is supposed, will settle the matter one' way or another without further delay. » we,* Home Will 8oon be Ready.
