Philadelphia, Sept. 4.—As anticipated, the State convention of the Union party, held in this city yesterday afternoon. resulted in a bolt. Two conventions wfere held. There was disorder from start to finish. At times the trouble approached the magnitude of a riot. Knives were'drawn, pistols flourished and "blackjacks" were used. On Tuesday night the convention hall was guarded by an armed force of the Pattison men. Wednesday morning, every man who entered was compelled to prove his right to admission. After the Pattison delegates had all entered, the doons were locked and barricaded. At 11 o'clock, the hour set for the opening of the convention, the Pennypacker adherents presented themselves at the hall and demanded admission. This being refused, they forced the doors and made a rush for the hall. In the struggle that followed nobody waB seriously hurt. The Pennypacker men swarmed into the hall and took pos-' session of the front seats. Throughout the preliminary proceedings there was a storm of howls and catcalls, mingled with cheers. Suddenly fifty men made a break for the stage and swept Chairman Riter off. In the midst of the confusion, W. R. Knight was elected chairman. Then there were two organizations, and each attempted to transact business at the same time in the same hall. The result was deafening. One faction nominated the Republican State candidates, while the other ndhiinated the Democratic ticket. The Pennypacker adherents seemed to have the best of the struggle and the Pattison supporters contented themselves •with hooting and jeering the speakers. Policemen were in attendance in largo numbers, and appeals were made to them to restore order, but the officers were powerless. After having been routed out of their hall, the Pattison followers repaired to the Continental ljotel, where they quietly transacted their routine convention business and then placed in nomination the Democratic. candidates for State offices. The platform adopted by the Pattison men endorses the national administration, condemn* the last "State Legislature, and denounces the Republican State organization. Philadelphia, Sept. 4.—George F. Baer. president of the Philadelphia and Reading Co., and United States Senators Quay and Penrose held a long conference yesterday afternoon In the executive offices of the Reading Co., in this city, at which the anthracite coal miners' strike was thoroughly discussed.

"The operators were compelled to employ police, at their own, expense, to guard the new men employed to, man the pumps to save the mines. The whole power of Mitchell's organization was used to prevent pumping. The men at the mines are fed and lodged there, protected by armed guards. Each colliery is in a state of siege. The guards, and -the law authorizing them, are denounced, and when private citizens like Beddall are murdered the State authorities are denounced for sending troops to preserve the -peace. Today that gallant soldier, Gen. Gobin, who fought with such distinction in our Civil War, and than whom no juster man lives, is bitterly maligned for protecting the property and lives of Pennsylvania citizens.

Reading, Pa., Sept. 4.—This city is "I recognize that it is your right and your duty as Senators representing the great State of Pennsylvania to do whatever can legitimately be done to end a strike that so seriously affects business and brings so much suffering to women and children of the coal regions. The newspapers' story that I said, 'The strike is a private affair which does not concern the public," is, like much of the stufT they make mo say, a reckless fabrication. The issues involved are matters of great public concern. The price of coal to the manufacturers and the many thousand workingmen in the cities is just as important as the tariff, and there can be nothing of greater consequence to the people of this Commonwealth than the establishment of law and order in the coal regions so that every man desiring to work shall be free and safe, 'none daring to molest him or make hihi afraid.'

You will recall that the Shamokin convention, which declared that none but union men should be permitted to work in the mines, invoked the aid of the Civic Federation. At the request of the Civic Federation the representatives of the coal operators met a committee ot' the Civic Federation. Mr. Mitchell, who is at the head of the bituminous miners, and his three district presidents. One whole day was consumed in free and open discussion, and aftar this meeting we adjourned forJiO days, Mitchell agreeing to withdraw the order that had been Issued to the men not to work more than three days per week after April 1. At the expiration of 80 days we again met the Civic Federation and Mr. Mitchell and his committee, together with a delegation representing the local mine organizations, at which meeting there were twenty or more miners and mine workers.

In the case of the coal companies the law casts the management and control on the directors ahd officers. whose responsibility is to the stockholders, to the State and to the public. The right of the stockholders is to have good management and fair return on their investment. The obligation to the State is to conduct the business in strict conformity to the laws it has established.

Good Rio Coffee, lb Arbuckle's Coffee Lion Coffee / "To make the application: The coal operators say that they cannot mine coal because the miners make demands which make it impossible to mine coal profitably and that the State has enacted laws prohibiting the employment of men in the mines unless they have worked two years in anthracite mines, and therefore they cannot, for the time being, mine coal. How, then, under these circumstances, can there be any violation of public duty? If we yield to the extravagant demands of the miners we will lose money. If we attempt to increase the price of coal we will destroy the industries depending upon the anthracite fuel. If we increase the prite of the domestic sizes we will be called robber barons, oppressors of the poor, monopolists and enemies of mankind. We have concluded. therefore, that our duty to ourselves and to the public will best be served by standing firmly on these propositions: SHOE DEPARTMENT CONDITION OF THE BROOKLYN, "Every phase of the question was fully and fairly discussed, and at the end of the discussion, at the request of the Civic Federation, a committee was appointed consisting of. Mitchell and his three district presidents (Messrs. Fahey, Duffy and Nicholls) and Messrs. Truesdale, Thomas and myself on the part of the operators. The distinct understanding expressed by the Civic Federation was that the committee should report to the Civic Federation at a meeting thereafter to be called and that no one should make public the assembling of the Civic Federation. || Th« Warship I* Lying Easy and Will W.

The lire started in the stable near the bottom of the shaft, and twelve mules are known to have been burned. The tire is burning so iiercely that firemen are unable to get nearer than 700 feet of the liilne, and the only passageway open is through the Fannie shaft, through which shaft the firemen are working. Work has been abandoned in two of the Horseshoe company's mines, and it is thought all tlie mines of the Golden Reward company will have fo be abandoned temporarily.

We showed them that for some mysterious leason the miners only worked from four to six hours per day and that when they had produced at the mines sufficient coal to earn about $2.50 per day they would quit work; that the product of the collieries had been reduced about 12V4 per cent, and that In the case of the Reading Co. it amounuv to a loss of 1.000,000 tons. We produced the pay rollB to show the number of men employed; the average paid pt'r day and the classification of the men. These pay rollB showed that the lowest scale of wages was 85 cents for boy slate pickers. The average' pay per day of all the men and boys— 26,270 in all—employed by the Philadelphia & Reading Coal & Iron Co. amounted to $1.98. ROOSEVELT CONGRATULATED. "1.

Philadelphia, Sept. 4.—As anticipated, the State convention of the Union party, held in this city yesterday afternoon. resulted in a bolt. Two conventions wfere held. There was disorder from start to finish. At times the trouble approached the magnitude of a riot. Knives were'drawn, pistols flourished and "blackjacks" were used. On Tuesday night the convention hall was guarded by an armed force of the Pattison men. Wednesday morning, every man who entered was compelled to prove his right to admission. After the Pattison delegates had all entered, the doons were locked and barricaded. At 11 o'clock, the hour set for the opening of the convention, the Pennypacker adherents presented themselves at the hall and demanded admission. This being refused, they forced the doors and made a rush for the hall. In the struggle that followed nobody waB seriously hurt. The Pennypacker men swarmed into the hall and took pos-' session of the front seats. Throughout the preliminary proceedings there was a storm of howls and catcalls, mingled with cheers. Suddenly fifty men made a break for the stage and swept Chairman Riter off. In the midst of the confusion, W. R. Knight was elected chairman. Then there were two organizations, and each attempted to transact business at the same time in the same hall. The result was deafening. One faction nominated the Republican State candidates, while the other ndhiinated the Democratic ticket. The Pennypacker adherents seemed to have the best of the struggle and the Pattison supporters contented themselves •with hooting and jeering the speakers. Policemen were in attendance in largo numbers, and appeals were made to them to restore order, but the officers were powerless. After having been routed out of their hall, the Pattison followers repaired to the Continental ljotel, where they quietly transacted their routine convention business and then placed in nomination the Democratic. candidates for State offices. The platform adopted by the Pattison men endorses the national administration, condemn* the last "State Legislature, and denounces the Republican State organization. Philadelphia, Sept. 4.—George F. Baer. president of the Philadelphia and Reading Co., and United States Senators Quay and Penrose held a long conference yesterday afternoon In the executive offices of the Reading Co., in this city, at which the anthracite coal miners' strike was thoroughly discussed.

"The operators were compelled to employ police, at their own, expense, to guard the new men employed to, man the pumps to save the mines. The whole power of Mitchell's organization was used to prevent pumping. The men at the mines are fed and lodged there, protected by armed guards. Each colliery is in a state of siege. The guards, and -the law authorizing them, are denounced, and when private citizens like Beddall are murdered the State authorities are denounced for sending troops to preserve the -peace. Today that gallant soldier, Gen.

Reading, Pa., Sept. 4.—This city is "I recognize that it is your right and your duty as Senators representing the great State of Pennsylvania to do whatever can legitimately be done to end a strike that so seriously affects business and brings so much suffering to women and children of the coal regions. The newspapers' story that I said, 'The strike is a private affair which does not concern the public," is, like much of the stufT they make mo say, a reckless fabrication. The issues involved are matters of great public concern. The price of coal to the manufacturers and the many thousand workingmen in the cities is just as important as the tariff, and there can be nothing of greater consequence to the people of this Commonwealth than the establishment of law and order in the coal regions so that every man desiring to work shall be free and safe, 'none daring to molest him or make hihi afraid.'

You will recall that the Shamokin convention, which declared that none but union men should be permitted to work in the mines, invoked the aid of the Civic Federation. At the request of the Civic Federation the representatives of the coal operators met a committee ot' the Civic Federation. Mr. Mitchell, who is at the head of the bituminous miners, and his three district presidents. One whole day was consumed in free and open discussion, and aftar this meeting we adjourned forJiO days, Mitchell agreeing to withdraw the order that had been Issued to the men not to work more than three days per week after April 1. At the expiration of 80 days we again met the Civic Federation and Mr. Mitchell and his committee, together with a delegation representing the local mine organizations, at which meeting there were twenty or more miners and mine workers.

In the case of the coal companies the law casts the management and control on the directors ahd officers. whose responsibility is to the stockholders, to the State and to the public. The right of the stockholders is to have good management and fair return on their investment.

Good Rio Coffee, lb Arbuckle's Coffee Lion Coffee / "To make the application: The coal operators say that they cannot mine coal because the miners make demands which make it impossible to mine coal profitably and that the State has enacted laws prohibiting the employment of men in the mines unless they have worked two years in anthracite mines, and therefore they cannot, for the time being, mine coal. How, then, under these circumstances, can there be any violation of public duty? If we yield to the extravagant demands of the miners we will lose money. If we attempt to increase the price of coal we will destroy the industries depending upon the anthracite fuel. If we increase the prite of the domestic sizes we will be called robber barons, oppressors of the poor, monopolists and enemies of mankind. We have concluded. therefore, that our duty to ourselves and to the public will best be served by standing firmly on these propositions: SHOE DEPARTMENT CONDITION OF THE BROOKLYN, "Every phase of the question was fully and fairly discussed, and at the end of the discussion, at the request of the Civic Federation, a committee was appointed consisting of. Mitchell and his three district presidents (Messrs. Fahey, Duffy and Nicholls) and Messrs. Truesdale, Thomas and myself on the part of the operators. The distinct understanding expressed by the Civic Federation was that the committee should report to the Civic Federation at a meeting thereafter to be called and that no one should make public the assembling of the Civic Federation. || Th« Warship I* Lying Easy and Will W.

The tire is burning so iiercely that firemen are unable to get nearer than 700 feet of the liilne, and the only passageway open is through the Fannie shaft, through which shaft the firemen are working.

We showed them that for some mysterious leason the miners only worked from four to six hours per day and that when they had produced at the mines sufficient coal to earn about $2.50 per day they would quit work; that the product of the collieries had been reduced about 12V4 per cent, and that In the case of the Reading Co. it amounuv to a loss of 1.000,000 tons. We produced the pay rollB to show the number of men employed; the average paid pt'r day and the classification of the men. These pay rollB showed that the lowest scale of wages was 85 cents for boy slate pickers.
