After n battle of several wreaks the greet mining strike in the Iron fields of Minnesota, lying north of tbit city, le broken, and within a short time It will be little more than n bad memory. Perhaps never before In the history of the country has an Indus trylal conflict of equal magnitude been fought to a finish ns rapidly and so decisively. It Is also true that no organisation considering Itself fully equipped for war when It hoisted the battle flag bee been ao thoroughly beaten as the Western Federation of Miners in thle instance. Briefly summarised, these were the conditions that led to the Federation's undoing: There was no cause for the - trike, ne there was no grievance on the part of the miners sufficient to Justify It; the rank and file of the miners did not approve of It, end they were Induced to cease work only through fear, of being dealgnated as scabs; the people of the northern ptrt of the state were determined that the western organisation should gala a foothold hen, to repeat the sanguinof ary program which created a reign terror la Colorado and Idaho; and the mine owners set their teeth and aald: la order to kill the Federation la the Mesaba and Vermillion fields wo will shut down every mine In the district If necessary." But It waa the attitude of the common people which decided the conflict, and the course pursued by them may afford a valuable lesson to residents of other sections who In the past have too tamely submitted, to the abuse of their rights by labor end capital when point where the imthey reach the and agine peace Is no longer possible an appeal to arms is the only course left them. The strife on the ranges has cost the miners, railroad men and the ployiir of shipping Interests , In Jhta sectW about 12.000,000, find before former conditions are restored It is estimated that they will he out another 81,000,000. The important Interests owning the mines, lose about $2,000? 000 sad the business Interests had their trade curtailed fully $13,000,000, losing the profits ot this vest volume of business. The conflict was engineered by one man, end famishes a notable example of the abuse ot unionism for selfish ends, the victimising of the workers to further the plans of ambition. Teofllo Petriella. with anarchistic and socialistic tendencies, came from to Italy seven years ego.

Northern. hu made When he arrived here things were nnt Lukin bright for successful strike ofllclala to run traina Approval promotion. The miners and the employer were In harmony, oa every core. The beet of wages were being paid, the workers at the mines earning from 83.80 te 84.60 per day. la addition to this the heaviest mine owners In the iron district, had long been engaged la a campaign for the of betterment of the lot the worker, realizing that a sober and contented population in the range country was one of fta greatest assets. Ths miners, la consequence, were of the heads prosperous. Seven-ninth- s of families owned their own homes. They cultivated gardens, kept chicken a, and the children went to arbool every day. The younger generation was growing up along tht sturdiest American lines. At the closing exercise in the schools, programs which would be creditable to any American community were the rule la Virginia, Eveleth, Hlbbing, Kaabwack and at the leaser places. The names oa the program represented family patronymic! familiar In Genoa, Gracow, Helsingfors end along the Danube. These young foreigners were become American, end their parents were proud of It The range country waa the most prosperous In the etote, and the wealth bettor distributed than la any other mining community in America. Surely, one will aay, thle condition wee not conducive to Indus trial warfare. Petriella .knew that Me follower had no grievance, and were not willing to strike. He must, therefore, create a grievance at any coat, and he cut about to find one. Now, there wu the contract system on which the mines were being worked. Under It the miners got from 60 crate ot f 1 n ear for the ore taken out, and earned from 82.60 to 84.60 a dayr aooording to Mr proThe shovel men were getficiency. ting 85 a day and the machinists 83. Among the. Minneoata miners there re many nationalities, the strongest in numbers being the Austrian!. Then come the Flnas, Italians and a sprinkling of Montonegraos and others. The Austrians are the best workmen on the ranges, and earn the highest wage. The Italians are somewhat below them In proficiency, and the Pinna sad others, who lack Industry or training, are, under the contract sya-tereceiving the smallest remuneration. because theywlo the lout amount of work. Of course, they were Jealous of the more efficient and prosperous miners, sad Petriella determined to turn this Jealousy to good account It must also bo remembered that the leu effldmt workras iff ell the other nationalities outnumber the Austrians very considerably, la order to further his ambition and bring m a strike, Petriella proposed a uniform scale of wages, eoupliiH with It recognition of the Western Federation by tbs mine ownen. Thle is whit he offered to the members of his organisation: Eight hours labor, 85 a day for shovelmra and machinists, $3 s day for minora, and abolition, or practical abolition, of the contract system. It was put to a vote end carried, all the poorer workmen voting solidly lor 1L With this accomplished, the strike wu ao longer a question. Wednesday, July 17, Petriella presented this scale to the mining interests, with a demand for a reply, by HO felt certain that the w Mild not" accede to. the demands.1 During Che evening and night of the 18th and all forenoon of the 18th there' came startling news to him. It wu Mated that the employers wvonld yield, or at least suggest a basis for peaceable settlement of the trouble. It was pointed out to Mm that over 20,000,000 tons of ore must be moved during the remainder of the season, and that the mine owners could not afford to see their great pita idle. Thle wu startling Intelligence to Petriella, Who knew there would be little glory In a peaceful settlement, the credit for which would go largely to outside arbitrators. He resolved to act at once. So ha celled all the men from the mines, lamilng his order on the evening of tile 19th, and- every mine on the Me-aa-b wu Idle by the evening of the 20th. The men on the Vermilion did not obey him, and the mine there were never cloud. About 81,000 miners went out, thorn who were not members . of the Federation not car-lnto bur the odium of being railed acscabs. But It wu a tion on their part They went to their homes, and conducted themselves as model workmen should. They regarded It as a vacation and resolved to keep out of trouble. Petriella had figured Me scheme well and timed the explosion to suit himself.

The press of Duluth sounded the alarm and It was echoed la every trade and profesataa; la every due and calling.

He replied by a how of violence The more unruly ot hie followers were panted n .the streets sf the range tewne, behind the red flag. This flaunting of the symbol of anarchy added to W'wnth of the people, and there wee a demand which oould lot bt whhfffdod that armed deputies he hunted to the range to propreserve order and afford ample tection to all whs wished to work. The mine owners who had already declared against any dealings with Petriella and the Federation, raid they could work tho mlaes tt prolection was afforded.
