Special TO the Indianapolis Journal.
OMAHA, July 22.-One of he most pro-
found sensations in national labor circles,
and one which will directly OF indirectly
affect every railway telegrapher in the
country, came to light to-day in the dis
closure of the fact that Omaha Division of
the Order of Railway TelegraUhers has
filed charges to impeach Grand Chief ID. q.
Ramsey, Grand Editor A. ID. Thurston aud
Grand Executive Committeeman George
Flegel. The charges in effect are that the
division. having sent member, Carl
Smith. to the headquarters TO inquire into
the situation. ugly rumOrs having been cir

The order was instituted eight years ago
at Cedar Rapids, Ia. by A. ID. ThurstoD. as a
nonstrikIDg organization. For six years
It's growth was STEADY until 1t numbered
nearly 20 900 members. when it blossomed
into q strike organization. with Thurston
! as grand chief and Ramsey. then an East
ST. Louis tllLl lawyer. as assistant grand
chief few months afterward Thurston
was made by the executive COMMITTEES. OF
which Ramsey was chairman. editor of the
orders paper, and Ramsey succeeded 20 tue
grand ohieftaIncy, and at the next con-
vention. held In Chattanooga In 1892. this
happy arrangement was continued. A
| special tax had been ordered for q strike
fund, the understanding being that 80 soon
as this fund reached $50. 600 the tax should
cease. 1t came dangerously near reaching
this figure several times. for the order num-
bers nearly %. QUO operators. but the grand
chief, 1t ia said, was quick TO seize the oc-

At Toronto Ramsey and Thurston were
reelected, but the Omaha Division was not
satisfied. and 1t started In to fight the two
leaders. One of the ablest lawyers in
Omaha was engaged. and to-day it was
learned that the charges had been carried
to the grand executive committee.

Henry Watterson Rebaked.

Henry has did" the Plaissnce and has
discovered that his dolly was stuffed with
sawdust-thst the shows on the street of
nations are all fakes. He has said in his
haste that all the friends who whispered to
him about shady things on theiPlaisance
were not strictly truthful. With tears in
his eyes he admits that "those shows
which are advertised as being obscene and
vulgar are weak and vapid." We won't
let Henry slide down our cellar door any
more if he talks like that. If he feels that
way about 1t he had better 60 right back
TO Louisville and help Mr.. Dana run the
Democratic party again. Whether q man
Is disappointed or in terested on the Plsi-
sance depends a great deal on what he goes
there TO see Evidently Mr.. Watterson's 9
ideals were too high. or too some thing. 80
he calls the shows frauds and fakes. Take

Kansas Miners Have Made Up Their NJ Mnds
Win Any Cost
WEIR CITY, kan., July 23.-Sunday
passed quietly In this mining district. The
mines were. of course. all idle. and working
strikers. The mine owners have decided
not TO accept the protection of deputy sher-
IFS offered by Sheriff Arnold. They say the
deputy sheriffs are all appointed from the
ranks of the strikers and their sympathiz-
ers, and that the protection they afford
would not meet the occasion. The owners
are arming all their men, and the latter are
under orders to guard their lives aud tie
properties on which they are at work
at all hazards. The sensation Of the day
is the speech made last night by President
Walters. of the United Nine Workers
Western Association. He had just returned
from Missouri. where he has been working
for the cause of the strikers. lie addressed
q big mass meeting of the strikers, and in
the course of his remarks he praised the
miners for the work they had done at
Clemens strip pit. where they were fired
on by the new men at work. He regretted
that he was absent at the time. for he
would have been glad to have lcd the men
to the conflict. Continuing. he said:
"Keep. up the good work. March to the
Ii
come out TO aid you In the strike then per-
suade them. Cheers. Remember, / do
not urge violence Laughter. Let the
women 90 first. but let the men follow TO
see that their wives ami mothers, and sis
ters are not insnlted by the 'scabs' and
blacklegs. Don't be afraid to 90 to the
mines. The only charge on which you can
be arrested Is that of trespass, AMI that
does not amount to anything. Tie only
way to win this strike is to win it-and You
know what that means. If we catch q
'scab out after dark aud give them q good
thrashinR, what can be done! They can't
call out the troops for that, can tbeyf
lCheers.
These remarks by the president of the
Miners Association have caused q sensa.
tion among all Glasses. The mine owners fear
that violence Will grow from now on, and the
men believe they have the support of their
union officers in whatever steps they may
take. however violent. to win. The con-
struction of the stOckndes about the larger
mines Is almost completed. Living quar-
ters for miners are being built within
them. and by the middle of the coming
week it is believed every thing will be
ready TO accommodate the new men. 1t
is understood tbae hundreds of miners have
been engaged in Colorado to so to work.
The new men are the miners who have
been thrown out of work by the closing of
mines in Colorado. Most of them are SIN
gle men. and the mine owners believe they
