If the late strike demonstrated one
thing more clea. ly than another, it
w;lo that the law is absolutely impair
tial as between capital and labor. Ard
the following order recently issued by
U. S. Judge Caldwell to the receivers
of the Santa Fe road is further proof
OF this fact:
Ordered. That the men employed by

lowing their accrual. If the earnings
of the road are not sufficient to pay the
wages of the men as herein directed,
the receivers are hereby authorized
and required to borrow from time to
time as occasion may required sufficient
sum OF money for that purpose. The
payment Of the wages of the mon shall
not be delayed beyond the time fixed
in the order upon any pretense what,

STRIKE COMMISSION.
More Interesting Testimony Regard
the Condition of Affairs at
Pullman.
REV. WICKMAN'S EVIDENCE.
How Building Of Homes by Employees
Was DiscoWaged---An Aid to
immortality.

CHICAGO, Aug. 22.-M. J. Carroll,
editor of The Eight Hour Herald, was
the first witness called by the strike
commission. Mr.. Carroll told of the
efforts of the civic federation, of which
ne is a member, to settle the Pullman
strike. He was informed by the Pull
man officials, he says, that they had
nothing to arbitrate, and for this reason
the federation accomplished nothing.
The witness said that hard times were
the cause of the railroad as well as other
great strikes, and thought that manu-
facturers in times Of business depres-
sion should give their employees the ben
eft Of profits reaped in good times. He
says he thinks compulsory arbitration
applied to the quasi-public industries
would be beneficial, and read letter
from friend i'll New Zealand showing
the beneficial effects of government
ownership of railroads and telegraph.
Rev. Wickman's Testimony.
Rev. M. l.. Wickman, pastor of the
Swedish Methodist church at Pullman,
was emphatic in his denunciation of the
Pullman company.
'When business gets slack" he said,
''the company's employees living outside
OF Pullman are ordered to move into the
company's houses on peril of losing po-
sitions. Some of the men have attempted
to build houses on the installment plan,
but this is discouraged, as such men are
always the first to be laid off when the
force is cut down. The men are un-
fairly treated in various ways. I know
Of one instance when man was injured
in the shops and unfair means
were taken to prevent suit
for damages. The man was taken to
the hospital and later I saw sworn
statement, purporting to be signed by
him, in which he said the accident was
entirely unavoidable. I know that
paper to have been a forgery, for on the
date on which it was made, the man
was unable to write and could not have
signed his name.
Conducive to immortality.
zone of the worst features of the
Pullman system of house renting is the
immortality which it encourages. Many
Of the work women are compelled tc
rent rooms to help out their meagre in
comes. The houses are so arranged
that the roomers must pass through the
family sleeping apartments, and as a re
suit the morality Of Pullman is much
below that of surrounding towns. There
is no way for the workingmen to avoiG
this as many Of them are practically
compelled to live in the company's
houses"

have gone forward in the week. New
wheat is coming in slowly, and will not
be in great quantity for week or two
yet. There are now in store 2O2, 200
bushels of wheat here and at Superior
Preparations are being made to handle
large quantity Of faxseed as soon as the
farmers begin shipping. Several new
grain firms are locating here, and the
indications are that the present will be
the busiest winter in the grain business

CROOKED WORK.
Harvey Peak Tin Mining Company Accused
of Sharp Practice.

Harvey Peak Tin Mining Company Accused
of Sharp Practice.
NEW York, Aug. 22.-In the United
States circuit court Judge Lacombe
has made an order continuing Albert R.
Ledoux as the receiver of the Harney
Peak Tin and Mining company until
final hearing of the case. Mr.. Ledoux
was recently appointed receiver by
Judge Lacombe on the application Of
Charles Fletcher and number Of other
Englishmen, who charged that the Off
GERS of the company, chief among whom
was Samuel Untermeyer, had been
guilty of sharp practices. The English
men averred they had been cheated out
of e5,OoO,0OO and upwards. The re-
ceiver was appointed secretly, so that he
could get hold Of the books of the COM
pany before it's officers knew of the pro-
ceeding. An application was then
made for the removal of the receiver.
Judge Lacombe denied this application.
What the Court Thinks.
In making the order for the continu-
ance Of the receiver Judge Lacombe
says: "From such facts as are admit
ted by the defendants, or are averred in
the bill for afidavits and not denied,
and from documents put in evidence,
the genuineness of which is not dis
puted, it is reasonable to infer that COM
plainants will be able to prove at final
hearing that the second mortgage of
81, 85O,O0O, issued ostensibly for the
acquisition of further properties and a
cash advance to the company, was
really put upon the property of the cor,
poration in order to effect the sale of SO
much of the stock as was held by a
syndicate comprising majority of the
board of trustees. That by such sale,
which, but for the creating of this new
mortgage, apparently could not be car
ried out, they obtained in exchange fol
their stock not only nine-tenths of The
new bonds, but also large sum, e4Oo,
900 i'll securities, of another corpora

A Red Hot Rate War.

ST. LOUIS, Aug. 22.-Advices from

Argus-Leader: The question is will
the Republican party support prohibi-
tiOn at 1aEklOn, or will it denuunce it
as d failure or will it simply and com
placently dodge it:
The state organ can't realize that
the prohibition question is no longer a
general issue in this state, and that it
long since lost its effectiveness as a
bHgaboo in a Republican convention.
The next Legislature will have the con-
sideration of this question on its hands

ment of the respective legislative dis
stricts on the subject, regardless OF

Representative Picker has intro
duced bill which if it shall pass, will
prove of great importace to the west
ern country where irrigation is neces-
sary, and where it can be accomplished
either by water from streams or by
artesian wells. The bill provides for a
non-partisan commission of five men,
bers to be appointed by the President
of the United States to investigate as
to the location of agricultural, grazing.
mineral. timber and desert lands in tf'
United States All OF the unCccupied
public domain embraces over five hund-
red million acres. This commission is
to employ a secretary and to enquire
into the best practical plan in the in
terest of the whole people for the dis
position of these lands. and to devise
the best practical means for irrigating
such as are susceptible of irrigation,
and to report to the Secretary OF the
Interior and he to Congress, as to what
the general government shall do to aid
in practical irrigation. The scope of
the inquiry is to be far reaching and
look to the iual disposition OF the public
domain. The commissioners are to
report within year from the time OF
appointment and the bill carries an ap-
preparation Of forty thousand dollars.
Mr. Pickler during his service in
Congress-has given this subject con-
siderable attention and says that he finds
quite IL general disposition among the
members of Congress from all portions
of the country to utilize the public
domain and to provide for irrigation if
any general and practical plan can be
submitted that will not too largely
involve the general government. He
believes that thorough investigation
by such commission covering the
whole ground will lead to this end and
he will urge the same at the December
session.
