Arbitrate First, bay Miners WILKESBARRE, Oct. 1. The strik ers cf the Wyoming and Lackawanna districts will pay no attention to what their leaders say to the offer of ten per cent, increase, wrhich is expected in a day or two, unless it includes a recog nition of the union, nor will they think of going back to wrork and allowing their grievances to be arbitrated. If there is any arbitration it must come before they resume work. Once back in the mines they say it -will not be easy to get the men to go on a strike again. If the companies should break faith with the men, or the settlement should not be satisfactory, having al loved their union to be ignored, their organization would be but an empty shell.

VAN WYCK REPLIES to Charges with Reference to fee Trust-Croker Talks. s NEW YORK, Oct. 1. Mayor Van Wyck's answer to the charges of vio lating the law by investing in the se curities of the American, Ice Trust are in the hands of Attorney General Da vies at Albany today. Richard Croker devoted some time' to reading the telegraphic report of the speech Gov. Roosevelt made at Kansas City, in which the governor attacked the New York ice trust and mentioned Croker; and other New York city Dem ocrats hy name as" being interested in it. After reading the speech Mr. Cro ker said:'- "They must be very hard pressed for something to talk about, when they at tempt to make me or my connection with the ice trust a national issue. I bought stock in the American Ice Com pany for the same reason that I have bought other stocks, because I thought it a good investment. I have been buy ing and selling stocks for years and expect to continue doing so. And why does Roosevelt make me and other Democrats who were interested in the company the target at whom his exple- fives and denunciations are Why does not he attack the Republi cans who were interested in the ice trust? The officers and directors of the ice trust and many of the stockholders are Republicans and personal .friends of Roosevelt. .In fact they are the very men who were responsible for the nom ination and election of Roosevelt as governor and for his nomination, as vice-president. - "Why doesn't he attack his friends who created. and maintained the ice trust and who alone are responsible for the advance in the price of ice? Why does he harp on the . ice trust anyhow ? As Mr. Bryan says, the ice trust is purely a local affair and is not a national issue at all. The Democrats are engaged in a bitter and relentless warfare 'against all trusts, ibut it seems that Roosevelt can see no harm in any save the ice trust."
