Strike Would Please ODerators
Philadelphia, March, 19.—It is
no longer a secret that a strike of
the anthracite coal miners on
April 1st, as threatened by Presi
dent Mitchell, of the United Mine
Workers, would not be looked up
on as a calamity by certain opera
tors. If the views And desires of
these officials are respected the
question ot a fight to a finish is up
to President Mitchell.
There are but few operators who
do not condemn the steps taken
at J. P. Morgan’s dictation in con
ceding to the miners the advance
in wages last fall, when; as they
contend, the strike if continued for
several weeks longer would have
resulted in the miners’ defeat.
These same operators admit that
Mr. Morgan still dominates the
anthracite situation and that
whatever course the Reading and
Lehigh Valley pursues the rest
must follow. Some do not hesi
tate to express their fears that at
the last moment Mr. Morgan will
weaken aDd grant concessions ask
ed for now. ♦
Mr. Morgan, besides trying to
float the $1,000,000,000 steel trust,
has $82,000,000 worth ot Erie
railroad collateral 4 per cent bonds
to sell which 'have been issued for
the recent purchase of the Penn
sylvania Coal Company. There^is
likewise “ $28,000,000 worth of
Reading-Jersey Central collateral
trust 4 per cent bonds to put on
the,market. The coal securities,
they argue, would naturally be de
pressed in the event of a strike.

Bacon Goes to Philippines.
Washington, D. C., March 19,—
Senator Bacon is going to the
Philippines. He left Washington
to-day for New ' York to arrange
h/.s plans for the trip. The Geor
gia senator has had this idea in
view for some time, and while con
gress was in session it was propos
ed that a committee of the Senate
be sent to the Philippines to in
vestigate the situation there and
report to Congress next winter.
After the adoption of the Philip
pine amendment to the army bill,
the proposition to send a commit
tee there fell through. Senator
Bacon has figured conspicuously
in the debates in the Senate on
the Philippine question, and, al
though his forthcoming trip is un
official in its character, he propos
es to make a personal investiga
tion of the conditions there, and
it is probable that he will have
some interesting statements to
make to Congress next winter.
