To. the Public: The managers of the different, coal properties comprising the anthracite coal fields, wish their position ia the present strike to be understood, and therefore make tbe following statement of fact: There are in tbe anthracite regions about seventy-five operating companies and firms, and 147,000 miners and workmen, (ot whom 30,000 are under age.) comprising some twenty nationalities and dialects. TWO CLASSES OF MINERS. Of these workmen, possibly one-half belong to the United Mine Workers Union, of which Mr. John Mitchell Is President That organisation, waa originally formed In the bituminous -coal regions, and three-fourthsof Its members are miners of bituminous coal, and bituminous coal la sold In com petition with anthracite coal.

Tbe remaining workmen in anthracite fields either belong' to no anion whatever or do not belong to the Miners' Union. Tbe present strike "waa declared by the Mlno Workers Unon on the 10th day of May. ltKJC-' Since that time many workmen not belonging to or not willing to follow that organisation were -working in and abopt the mlnea. From 17.000 to 50,000 are sow at work. Many more have wished1 to work, but nave been prevented by a course of violence and intimidation" toward those working and toward their families, accompanied by the destruction of properties and the fear of death or bodily harm to every man who wis has to exercise his right to work.

A schedule is being prepared and will be annexed hereto showing some of the' things 4one to create this retga ot terror, and every Instance 4tated can 'be verified by reference to the offloers of the law dvll and military In' the anthracite re- ADtumnal rollage.

This violence has continued aad steadily notwithstanding repeated disavowals by Mr. Mitchell, and it is clear that he either cannot or will not prevent it, and that the -rights of the other workmen cannot be protected under the supremacy of the Mine Workers Union.

The undersigned are not. and never have been, unwilling to submit all questions between them and their workmen to any fair tribunal for decision. They are not willing to enter Into arbitration wUa tha 'saine-'workers' anion, an organisation chiefly composed of men la a rival and competitive Interest, and they are not willing to make any arrangement which will not secure to men nw working, and all now or hereafter wishing work, whether they belong to the mine workers' union or not, the right and opportunity to work In safety and without personal in rait or bodily harm to themselves their families. For these reasons the arbitrations heretofore proposed' have been declined. OPERATORS PREVIOUS OFFER.
