/ The a. e. a. ministry Is meeting with
/ adversity. One after another Of it's rev.
erpnd preachers who have been crying
aloud from their pulpits against the ID.
Equities Of CATH lics, .and the patriotic
duty Of the faithful to see to it that no
Catholic is employed, patronized or al
loved t. hold Office, have been meeting
with distressing mis- ortunes which might
discourage men Of less persistent zeal.
Our readers will recall the experience at
Albany not long since Of the A. P. A.
minister who was reported to have been
struck with q brick by some emissary Of
Rome, and who aroused his audience by
his thrilling description Of the assault, as,
with his head swathed IN bandages, he
told how the dastardly deed had been
committed. Police investigation Of the
outrage resulted in landing in jail not
the supposed emissary of Rome but the
enterprising A. P. A. minister himself, 1t
having been proven that he deliberately
went into barber shop, had the top of
his head shaved and clapped square of
court plaster on the shaven spot to sup
ply the appearance of wound.
Another A. 2. A. minister few days
later was arrested in Brooklyn, where he
had been detected picking pockets in a
Turkish bath. His companion, another
A. P. A minister, went his bail His
trial was postponed, and, believe, is still
pending.
Buffalo has furnished the latest exam
pie of the peculiar characteristics OF the
minister of the A. P. A. gospel in the
person OF the Rev. w. E. Shinn, one OF
the most jealous A. p. A. organic ere.
The "Rev." Shinn, while not engaged in
warning the American people against the
Catholics, was in the habit of amusing
himself by choking his wife and tortur-
ing his little crippled three-year. old
child. The poor wife was obliged to fly
for her life and Shinn was unceremone
ouely bounced from his pulpit. The
number of vacancies thus unhappily
created in the A. P. A. pulpits will be
very distressing to. their intelligent and
devoted congregations. 1t seems partic-
ularly unfortunate just ut the present
time, when the State Constitutional
Convention is in session, and there is
such urgent need ofsuch Jealous patriots
to devise Insulting cartoons against Cath
olics, forge Pope's encyclicals, and get
up mythical statistics to show how vastly
safer it.would be to elect A. p. A. men to
Office than Catholics.
Still they should not despair. AL
though these shining lights of A. P. Assn
may be temporarily restrained of their
liberties, they will, nevertheless, be use
full in enlightening the American people
on many things. Their personal charac-
ter muet be an ever-inspiring theme to
illustrate the spirit animating the whole
movement of which they are the shining
leaders, and the American people are
sufficiently intelligent to render the
proper verdict upon both.

evident intention of blocking the tracks so
the militia would have no line of retreat.
Captain Maher conferred with Superin-
tendent Atwater. and concluded that it
was im practicable to clear the track, and
that as the mob was growing wilder every
moment the best thing to do was to leave
the place before the strikers proceeded to
such extremities as would necessitate his
opening fire on them. He accordingly de-
tailed one half of his company to move the
car which blocked the track on which the
train was standing, and with the balance
held back the crowd, which began to
press closer and closer as it saw signs of
the troops making a retreat. He drew his
men back slowly. several times turning
them to confront the crowd when it came

Again and again the mob, shouting and
bowling and using the vilest language,

them steadily with his men and the crowd

CHICAGO, July THE Daily News is

Late this afternoon President Debs of
the A. r. U. informed a Daily News re-
porter that he had received message from
NJ. f. Lawrence, vice-presdent of the First
National Bank. saying that Vice-President
Wycks of the Pullman would be willing to
see him. Mr.. Debs thereupon told Mr..
Lawrence that he was perfectly willing to
meet Wycks.
Vice President Wycks when seen later
in his office said:
"This morning Mr.. Lawrence called on
me and asked if l was willing to meet a
committee Of our employees. told him
that would gladly meet such committee
and have always been willing to meet such
delegation at any time. The position of
the Pullman Company, however, is un-
changed. do not expect that the COM
mittee will come 10 me intending to dis
cuss arbitration. If they desire to discuss
the situation, as l said, am ready and
willing to see them. The conference will
be held tomorrow at my office, but at
what hour l am unable to state"
Later this evening Mr.. NJ. F. Lawrsn ce
said There has been no talk whatever
of a meeting between Debs anu Wycks OF
between Debs and any represen tative OF
the Pullman Company. There will be a

The transmission of the United States
mail is not interrupted by the striking en-
ployes OF any railway company. but by
the railway companies themselves. who
refused to haul the mails on the trains to
which Pullman cars were not attached. If
it is criminal interference with the
United States mails for the employees
OF railway company to detach from
mail train Pullman palace car
contrary to the will of the company, then
it holds true that 1t is the same crimin al in
reference whenever Pullman palace car
is detached from a mail train In accord
ance with the will OF a railway company
while said mail train Is In transit. The
line of criminality in such cases should not
be drawn at the willingness or unwilling
ness of railway employees, but at the act
itself, and inasmuch as it has been the
common practice of railway corporations
to attach ana detach from mail trains
Pullman palace cars at will, while said
trains are in transit, and carrying the
mails of the United States. 1t would seem
an act of discrimination against the en-
ployes of the railway corporation to de-
clare such acts unlawful interference with

The ground over which the fight had

shot by the troops and police lay about
like logs. Hats knocked off and coats

officers had made their stand were fully
500 large stones that had been thrown by
the mob.

This was decided at an executive session
of the Labor Council on Thursday even
ing of this week. For several days it had
been uncertain whether the federation
should order a general walk-out in all
trades to lend moral support to the Ameri-
can Railway Union. The leaders cOun-
seled against it. They argued that it
would be futile and would bring much
suffering and throw hundreds out Of en-
poyment permanently. The cause of the
A. r. .. strikers, however, was felt to be
the common cause of all labor and TO call
for some practical support from the coun-
Gil. The demands upon the various
unions in the federation from their own
unemployed members was so great that
financial aid to the A. r. U. was out Of
the question.
