DON'T OBEY THE LAW.
State Mine inspector Gallagher After the
Coal Mining Companies

Coal Mining Companies
State Mine Inspector Gallagher visited
the office of the attorney-general today
and held a consultation with reference
to the Weekly Payment law enacted by
the last legislature
There is dissatisfaction among the
miners in the southeastern part of the
state. This time the trouble is about
payment of wages. The companies have
paid their men monthly and the men are
anxious to know whether the law of 1898
can be made effective.
The state mine inspector says that
demand would have been made before
this. had not the men been afraid that
they would lose their places if the en-
forcement of the law was demanded.
The men are under contract with the
companies but the attorney general says
that such contracts cannot affect the
weekly payment law as a section pro-
vides that all contracts conflicting with
the law are void.
The law is very strict, but no criminal
action can be taken. 1t provides for a
penalty of per cent per month on all
wages unpaid after the Friday following
the week upon which they are due. 1t
also provides that the corporations must
pay the cost of prosecuting the case.
The attorney general has not given an
opinion in the case but he will undOubt-
edly uphold the law. Mr.. Gallagher left
today to visit western mines.

MINISTER'S QUARREL.
The Oklahoma Pres bytery Has Big Rox
Headed by q Missionary.

GUTHRIE, Ok, April 12.-The session
of the Oklahoma presbytery was dis
graced today by the high handed action
of a clique of new corners to the terri
tory. At least that is what the old min
listers and their followers say about it.
The 'sclique" is described as late semi
narians and it is claimed that. headed by
a synodical missionary, who was selected
by fraud, they voted old ministers out of
their pulpits and recommended personal
friends and proteges not yet graduated
from the seminaries in their places.
The church members are highly in
dignant and a split in many churches in
the territory will doubtless take place.

actress, and Howard Gould, the son of
the famous financier, is reported to be
broken off 1t is said that she will leave

on the subject, until assured that it was
common property.

that this was another proof that Equal
Suffrage is the most important issue now

They thought that if woman had the

to sacrifice herself as in the Pollard
