Special-Two hundred and fifty- thousand pickf dropped from the hanfeof as many bituminous coal miners of the Unit ed States Tuesday evening, not to be used again Until a wage settlement has been reached and a scale adopted between tho members Of the United Mine Workers of America and the coal operators of the - various fields Wednesday morning there were 260, 000 men idle. The situation, however, does not indicate a prolonged strike. An open winter and ?industrial de pression .have loft a large stock, of I coal on hand and the differences be tween miners and operators are very slight. It is practically agreed that the present wage scale;" will con tined, but some polities in connec tion with-1 the change in the national officers of the miners,; oi?anization, and local differences between opera tors and miners have resulted in tem porary suspension from work until s new wage scale is agreed to either bv districts or individual mmes The Unit Systjan. Until two years ago the bituminous coal mining wage of the country was based upon^the agreement reached in. the central competitive field con sisting of Illinois, Ohio? Indiana and western Pennsylvania, and consider ed as a unit. This unifc system was broken two years ago Twben Presi dent Mitchell signed a scale with Pittsburg operators, who agreed te pay the scale denmanded after opera tors of the other three; States had refused and the miners won theit fight. Operators signed 'the seale in dividually throughout the country. Since that time the'miners have tried to get back the unit rule, or ihter-State agreement, but operators of western Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Illinois, after negotiations lasting all the past winter, have refused to meet in inter-State convention with 'the miners. As a last resort President Mitchell called the miners in^hational convention und district. settlements were authorized with. the present wage scale as a minimum. Failing to agree by district miners were au thorized to sign the present scalejvitb operators individually. Vice President Lewis, who will succeed President Mitchell, is en deavoring to ^revive the inter-State unit rule. In the meantime district joint meeting are being held in thf various States.

Serions Charges .'Made Charges of a serious nature against Gifford Pinehot,chief of the Forestery bureau, were made in . the House by Messers. Smith, California, and Mon dell, Wyoming, during the, consider ation of the Agricultural Appropri ation bilL Mr. Smith accused him pf entering into a secret understand ing with the city, of Los Angeles with the view of securing the city valuv able water rights in the Owens Riv er Valley, as against th* interests of private parties haying prior claims. Mr. Mondell detiounced him for, as he eharged, illegally paying the ex penses of forest officials, in* attend ing conventions in the West, in which the government had no part and also of spending government money to boost his bureau in the public news papers. Mr. Pinehot was defended by Mr. Pollard, Nebraska, and Mr. Scott, Kansas. The bill was under discus sion all day and every line relating to .tho forest service was fought over, with the result that many provisions were stricken out. '?j The Agricultural Appropriation Bill. After having undergone many changes, the paragraph of the agri cultural appropriation bill relating to the bureau of forestry, was finally passed by the House of Representa-* tives. Messrs.

The long expected correspondence between America and Venezuela re specting pending American claims against ths latter country was sub mitted to the Senate and is almost .'ertain to create a profound impres sion. It will be difficult to digest the vast mass of material which Sec retary Root has placed before Con gress, but even a cursory inspection of the documents' makes it evident that the negotiations have reached a critical phase. The President's reali zation pf that fact is shown by his transmission of the matter to the Senate without any comment, regard ing the correspondence and especial ly Scretary Root's strong presentation of the American case, aa sufficient to instantly enlist the attention of Con ! ?ress. : AH the correspondence and docu ments were referred to the Senate committee on foreign relations: Those members- of thc committee who have already familiarized them selves with the situation have arrang ed tentattively a programme which consists of three propositions as fol lows : A Tentative Programme. Place a prohibitive tariff on Ven ezuelan coffee, the exports of which constitute 45 per cent, of the entire Venezuelan foreign trade and 90 per cent, of the coffee is taken by tho United States.^ , Exclude all importations of asphalt from Lake Bermudez," the product of which has been taken almost entirely by the United States. Authorize the President to exercise the general power invested in him to take whatever steps he may consider necessary to treat with Venezuela in the future. In a letter to Minister Russell on Fphruarv 2Sth, 1907. Secretary Root reviewed the difficulties encountered by the various American claimants and instructed Mr. Russell to demand remedy and redress. The letter con cluded with this statement: Root's Letter Strong. "You are instructed to bring these several causes of complaint to the immediate and serious attention of . the Venezuelan government and to in I sist that the government to which you are accredited shall giye to each and every demand herein set forth imme diate consideration." In issuing ' general instructions to the American minister, Secretary Root said : "You will call the attention of the government of Venezuela to the fact that notwithstanding the long and un broken friendship manifested by the United States for Venezuela ; notwith standing the repeated occasions upon which the United States has interven ed as a friend in need tc relieve Venezeula from disagreeable and dangerous complications with other powers; notwithstanding the patience and consideration which has always characterized the treatment of this government toward? Venezuela the government of Venezuela has within the past few years practically confis cated or destroyed all the substantial property interests of Americans in that country. This has been dont sometimes in accordance with the forms of law and contrary 1 to thc spirit of the law; sometimes without even form of law; by one device or another, with the action of the gov ernment apparently always hostile to American interests, until of the many millions of dollars invested by Ameri-t can citizens in that country practical ly nothing remains."

C..-Some remarks about conditions in the railroad world which were contained in an in terview with James J. Hill in New York brought out a response from Franklin K. Lane, a member or the Interstate Commerce Commission. Here Is part of Mr. L-ane's statement: "The whole world ha3 a great ad miration for Mr. Hill, but I do wish he would not be so lugubrious. Jim Dumps has not yet superseded the' optimistlo Uncle Sam a3 the typical American. A year ago Mr.. Hill said that the railroads had failed to meet the-traffic necessities of the country that there had been a steady increase in business which tho railroads had not met and that it would be neCes sary to Invest $5,500,000,000 in pro viding equipment, double tracks and terminals to handle the business of the country properly. And now be cause for .two or three months the railroads have been able to handle more business than was offered them we are met on all hands with the cry that the country is-going to the bow bows. "What is the necessity for painting the picture blacker than it is? Does lt arise out of the fact that Congress ls in session, or that there ls a Presi dential election Impending? Is a man an enemy of the railroads be cause he refuses to believe every old woman's tale that comes out of Wall Street? -I.do not understand the rea son why at the time when railroad credit should be upheld those who ought to be most interested in sup porting that credit are lending their RAILROADS NEED 300,00 Americans Preferred tn Work Admit They See Many Slki Chicago.-The"unemployed," who are congesting the cities, subsisting upon chanty and menacing the peace of various communities, if they really want workman find lt with the rail roads of the United States at once. This ls the opinion expressed nere by leading railroad men. The wages range from $1.50 to $2.50 a day, in cluding good board and transporta tion. Within the next sixty days the railroads must find 300,000 men to repair roads, bridges, furbish up sag ging tracks, build extensions and man the shops. The ravages of the win ter months have left much work tn be done,- and lt must be done speed ily, for the railway managers admit they see many signs of improving business and must have their lines and equipment'In condition to. care for it. Americans will have the prefer ence. Heretofore it has been impos sible to get Americans as laborers, PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT Will Not Enforce the "Commo Pending: Suprer Washington, D. C.-The Govern ment will not prosecute railroads for failure to comply with the "commod ity clause" of the railroad law pend ing a decision of the Supreme Court. That decision has been arrived at, it is understood, after careful consid eration by the President, and he has accordingly directed the Department of Justice to bring a test case as soon as possible after May 1, the day when becomes effective the law forbidding any railroad to transport any article or commodity (other than timber) manufactured, mined or produced by such road, or in which it is directly or indirectly Interested. Thus any railroad that owns coal mines would be'liable to prosecution should it carry its own coal to mar ket.

"Let us see what these figure show," said Mr. Lane. "The average ''monthly receipts from freight and passenger traffic for each mlle of the 225,000 miles of railroad in the Uni ted States reporting to this commis sion for th3 first seven months of this fiscal year were $980, which ls $180 per mlle per month more than the average for the fiscal year ended July 1, IS05, the year of the last Presidential election, which was cer tainly not regarded as a poor year in the railroad or industrial world. The net revenue from traffic allowing for all operating expenses, including in creased wages and cost of material in the fiscal year ending in 1908, ls $37 per mlle per month greater than In the year 1904-05. The net monthly revenue for this fiscal year is thu? far $7 less per mlle than for the pre ceding year 1906-07, which may he taken as high water mark thus far io the history of the United States." ... The interview which drew the above comment ls as follows: New York City.-James J. Hill, who bas arrived in this city, says ol .business conditions: "While I cannot permit myself to be too optimistic, 1 am trying dot to be pessimistic. The general recovery in business which hfls been predicted has not yet mani fested itself to any remarkable de gree, and it ls not to be expected that It should. The prevailing, conditions were not brought about overnight; they are the result of events of many months, and a revival will no doubl be correspondingly gradual." 0 MEN FOR REPAIR WORK of Extending?

Furthermore, they do not care to associate with the motley gangs that usually go to make up the repair squads. Now that many men are out of employment lt la hoped by railroads to get a larger percentage of Americans, who admit tedly are the best workmen in the world. Formerly forty per cent, ol the laborers employed- In the spring work were Italians on roads between the seaboard and the Rocky Mount ains. West of the mountains, espe cially on the Hill lines, Japanese were employed. In the southwest Mexicans, Indians and Italians pre dominate, but everywhere there have been many Greeks, Slavs, Poles, Huns and other nationalities. Because ol the financial stringency many thou sands of these have departed for Eu I rope. Now it is hoped to get the 1 work done by Americans.

The President, it is stated, has nc desire to add to the embarrassments which surround the railroads in' theil efforts to comply with the law, and as the question of the validity of the "commodity clause" has been criti cised by competent legal opinion il was thought best for all interests in? volved that a prompt determination of the question by the Supreme Court should be sought.

Dear Sirs, -Your Minard's Liniment received and was used to good advantage, and I wish 1 had used it sooner, as it would have saved me lots of pain and also lots of money. With the first application I was able to l?y out " straight jn bcd - what I had not done in seven weeks - as I had been forced to sit on thc side of the bed with my feet resting on the floor. Have used three bottleS*of your liniment, and it has loosened thc cordj sp that I can sleep nights. I was able to go to work this week and the rheumatism has not bothered me any, only on damp days in the mornings, bui will soon work that off. Am a long shoreman, Ioa'ding and unloading foreign ships, and have recom mended Minard's Liniment to several of my fellow-workmen that have the same trouble with stiff joints. The other liniments I used did not seem to take the stiffness out of the cords. Yours truly, C. HOWLAND IQ Bunker Hill St.,* Charlestown, Mass. A special bottle sent free on request.
