TO MEET IN WEST VIRGINIA. .Gompers Sent Out the Call at the Re- quest of Ratchford—The Meeting May Decide the Fate of the Mine Workers’ Big Uprising. 517' Washington, July 26.—,—President Gom- pers of the American Federation of La- bor has sent telegrams to officers of 38 national trade unions, calling for a con- ference to be held‘ at Wheeling at noon “Tuesday, July 27. This was done in re- sponse to a. telegram from President W D. Ratchford of the United Mirie VVork- ers of America, in which he says that peaceable assemblage and free speecl. have been forbidden and suppressed in West Virginia. ' Following is the call sent out by Pres- ident Gompers to the officers of nation- al trade unions: “President Ratchford of the miners just wires that peaceable assemblage and free speech have been forbidden and suppressed in West Virginia. In compliance with his request I invite you to a conference to be held at Wheeling July 27. Similar invitation is extended to executive officers of all national trade unions. No duty is more important than attendance at this conference. The very presence of all to whom this is addressed will arouse the miners to their full duty and decide the contest in their favor. If your presence is impossible, send representative.” President Gompers also sent a. dis- patch to Mr. Ratchford informing him that the call had been sent out and ex- pressing thc hope that the miners will be victorious. Officers of 38 unions were invited to attend, it being impossible for repre- sentatives of all the unions to reach the *place of meeting at the time decided upon. Fate of the Strike In the Balance. Cleveland, July 26.—On the action of the labor leaders at the Wheeling con- ference called for, July 27 by President Ratchford of the Mine Workers’ union seems to hang the fate of the strike. It was intimated in this city that Ratch- ford’s aim is to induce the trainmen to refuse to handle West Virginia coal. Chief P. M. Arthur’s refusal to attend the conference does not occasion any surprise among organized labor here. “This is not a matter which concerns our organization,” said Mr. Arthur, speaking of the coal strike. “It is nat- ural that trainmen should feel a sym— pathy for the striking miners, and I, suppose they do, but there is no reason why they should refuse to haul West Virginia coal the same as any other freight. It may be there are some who Would be inclined to refuse to handle it. I have not been asked by any of our or- ganizations for any advice on the ques— tion. The organization has rules gov- erning its members in such affairs.” Ratchford, it is understood, hopes to induce the trainmen, switchmen and conductors, through their leaders, to re- fuse to handle West Virginia coal not mined by union labor. If he accom- plishes that the operators concede the market would take a. wonderful jump. Made the Injunction Permanent. Altoona, Pa., July 26.—Last Tuesday Judge Bell, sitting in court at Ebens- burg, Cambria county, granted a pre- liminary injunction enjoining some 45 striking miners, who are residents of Gallitzin, and their wives and others from congregating in the vicinity of J L. Mitchell & Co.’s coal mines and using threats and abusive language calcu- lated to frighten the imported miners now employed in the mines. The injunc- tion also forbi'ds gathering at the rail- road station and other places in the town for the purpose of intimidating the new men now employed, or to be hereafter employed by the Mitchell company. Judge Bell has now, after an extended hearing, made the injunction permanent. A. A. Stevens, attorney for the coal operators, mys this is the most impor- tant ruling ever made in Pennsylvania on the strike question, being on the same lines as the celebrated Debs in- junction case. He thinks it will effect- ually put a stop to riotous gatherings in connection with strikes and labor disturbances. Against a Sympathetic Strike. Pittsburg, Kan., July 26.—The dele gates to the convention representing southeastern Kansas coal miners, in secret session here, adopted resolutions indorsing the eastern strike, but de- cided at the same time by an over- whelming majority against a sympa- thetic strike.

It Will Be Taken to the Courts For Final Adj udication— —An Enormous Amount of Money Involved—Saving on Beer Stamps, $183,000. Washington, July 27.—The secretary of the treasury holds that the new tar- iff act was in effect at the beginning 01 the day on which it received the ap- proval of the president and therefore became operative after midnight on Friday, July 23.7 Assistant Secretary Howell today sent the following tele- gram to collectors of customs: “Department holds that new tariff law covers and includes all customs business of July 24.” Later in the day a formal circular of instructions covering more fully the de-' partment’s views on the subject was printed and mailed to all customs col— lectors. The opinion of the attorney general has not been requested on the matter, the department holding that the question is of sufficient impor- tance to justify it in taking it to the courts for final determination, inde- pendent of what the views of the law officers of the government might be as to the merits of the case. Senator Alli- son was at the treasury department to- day, and in the course of a conversation on the subject said that in his opinion there was no reasonable doubt that the act covered all of the day on which it became a law. This also is the view of all the prominent officials of the treas- ury department, including the collect- ors of customs at New York and several of the leading ports of the country. The Amount Involved. Sufficient data upon which to base a close estimate of the amount of duties involved have not been received. but it is stated roughly that it probably will be between $100,000 and $200,000. Thein- ternal revenue department probably will save even a greater amount by the new ruling than the customs branch of the service. During the five days from Tuesday, July 20, to and including Sat- urday, July 24, the internal revenue stamp agencies sold approximately 85,- 181,800 in beer stamps alone, and of this amount it is estimated that not more than one-third, or $1,727,266, reached their destination before the act went into effect.

Commissioner Forman today telegraphed all stamp agents to settle only on the basis of the increased rate of 71/; cents per barrel, and it is ex- pected that these instructions will ap- ply to all cases where the stamps were not actually affixed to the packages be- fore the new‘rate became operative. No figures as to the amount of cigarette stamps disposed of have yet been re- ceived, but it is believed that the sales have been abnormally large. As the rate of tax on cigarettes, speaking genera]- ly, was increased 100 per cent, or from 50 cents per $1,000 to $1, the inducements to tobacco manufacturers to lay in a large supply were even greater than in the case of the brewers.
