STILL ORGANIZING.
The A. r.. U. Increasing Its Mem.
bershfD,

DeFS01p.
While the controversy is in statu quo,
pending the conference of the officials
of the Great MOI thern and the confer
ence committee, the railway employees
are strengthening themselves by spread
ing their organization on the main
points of the system.
Vice President Howard said yester-
day afternoon that the union was max
ing tremendous Roadway everywhere.
as far as enrolling members was con-
cerned. While the present time could
hardly be termed piping times of
peace" yet it was best to perfect organ
iZation and to be prepared for any
emergency
s. branch of the union was organized
yesterday at West Superior. and Presi-
dent Debs received a message from that
point last night reading as follows:
WEST SUPERIOR, Wis, April o.
Eugene V. Debs: Enthusiastic meeting,
270 charter members, and every man
voted to strike il sanctioned.
l.. W. ROGERS.
Taking this message as keynote, the
chief officers of the union stated last
evening that no further strikes would
be sanctioned at this time nor at any
place. The members of the organiza-
ton would make every effort to live up
to the promises made Gov. Nelson in
the letter sent him yesterday, and await
the result of the deliberations of the
conference now so close at hand.

AN ILLINOIS RIOT.


Fifteen Hundred Miners Engage
in Disastrous Row.
LAsALLE, ILL.,. April ga mob of
1.5o0 miners from neighboring towns
marched on Lasalle today to pre-
vent the men here from going to work,
and riot was precipitated, in which
number of local miners were
beaten and badly injured. Fritz KieI.
ing was cut and bruised and his condi-
ton is serious. Michael Beglcy, fireman
in the Lasalle shaft, was severely pum-
meled. The majority of the other
miners who were intending to go into
the pit were scared out, and those who
attempted it were roughly handled. The
miners of LaSalle. Peru and Oglesby. at
meeting held Friday night for the pur-
pose of taking action on the
proposed strike ordered by the
meeting at Columbus, decided by ma
jority vote of those present to lay down
their picks Saturday at noon, which they
did. This was the cause of dis
satisfaction among the miners, and
many thought they should live up
to the terms OF the contracts which
would not release them until May l.
News of their intention soon reached
Spring Valley and spread throughout
Sunday to the neighboring towns of
Laid, Seattonville and Laceyville.

three rounds between Morris Self and
Jack German. They proved them
selves rdeptS III the squared circle, and
both men were as agile as PARTNERS.
Mr.. Benton, the hacker of Dick
Moore. presented his protege, the mid
dleweight champion of America.
Moore bowed and blushed like school
girl as the applause to himseIf-Hand-
some Dick--resounded through the hall.
Mr.. Benton announced that Gentle
man Dick' would later Oh have two
set-to's-one with McDonough and the
other with Bobby Dobbs. Dick was
given an ovation as he retired, with his
elegant silk tile gracefully held Ill his
hand.
Prof. McNevins was presented. He
did some remarkable things in the way
of paper tearing. He performed some
creditable featS In balancing, eX-
hibiting steadiness of nerve and great
strength in his neck.
The next event was some graceful
and clever work with the foilS, in which
Arthur B. Mailett, the champion, and
his promising pupil, Hinschey, APP
was appreciated, as the applause
showed. Hirschey managed to twist
the foil in the fencing contest several
times out of his tutors hand. but the
latter retaliated. 1t was an exceedingly
instructive exhibition, denoting at once
Mallett's ability and that of his adept
pupil.
Pavian and Adams went through
three rounds with The gloves.
Benton brought out Bobby DobbS, the
cojOred champion lightweight of Amer
lea, whom ne declared he was ready to
match with any i'll his class. Then he
introduced Young Needham, dick
Moore'S mouse" as he called him. He
said these two would give an imitation
of the Corbett- Mitchell contesI. They
did it i'll laughabie way. Young Need
ham tioOred Bobby twice in the second
and twice more i'll the third.
Dick Moore came out with his fighting
hsrness on, and had an amrabe three
round bout with Jack McDonough.
Dicks fine physique never showed up
10 better advantage. TINS was "A pretty
piece OF work. In the second round he
landed his glove deftly on the nose of
his opponent. AMI made him sniff. As
McDonough drew his arm over his nasal
organ, red str9ak was revealed, show
ing that Moo:e'S bunch of fives" had
caused his zinfanGel to run. The third
round was not specially eveiitful.
The three-rOund sparrng contest be-
tween Cummings and Stanley showed
each an adept with his fists.
The last and most interesting feature
was three rounds between Dick Moore
and Bobby DObbs, viewed bpnignly by
Benton, who dotes OH his two wonders.
The fact that each is a champion added
Zest to the contest. They were both up
10 every tactic known to the ring, and
it was evident that there was no boys
play in this contest. Dobbs was quick,
wiry and active, and showed his long
reach TO advantage. Benton had fire..
Quently to warn them to ''break away
as they became locked. Dobbs proved
foxy ana subtle, put Moore played lhe
Sledge hammer blows he knows so well
how to deal, till the audience gave vent
to its enthusiasm. In the second round

but the latter broke even by driving
him to his seat as time was called.

WILL THEY RESUME?

What Debs Says Relative TO
Hills Reply to the Governor.
After the appearance of the evening
papers containing Mr.. HilPs reply to
Gov. Nelson's communication, GLOBE
reporter asked Mr.. Debs what he had to
say on the same. MIR. Debs replied:
while Mr. Hill practically states all
the grounds on which arbitration should
be carried on, there is no disposition on
my part to block Its progress. We will
have committee of leyel-headed men
who will look at all sides Of the Ques-
tion.''
what about the men returning to
work, as requested by President Hill?"
My opinion is that as soon as arbi-
tration has been agreed upon every
thing should assume its normal condi-
ton and traffic resume"
"Will the men return to work?'
II would advise them to do SO if called
upon. But, inasmuch as the conference
is close at hand, prefer not to say very
much about that. The men will be at
hand tomorrow morning. and they can
settle the matter for themselves"

The situation looks serious. Gov.

assured him they would take care of

much-talked-of International boat race
between the champion college crews of
this country and England. which has

years, is, according to current report.

winner of the Yale-Harvard race. The
proposition is that the American crew
shall 60 10 England i'll August. and the
race will be rowed on the Thames as
soon after as practicable. In order to
bring about race it would be neces-
sary for the Englishmen to remain in

CHICAGO STRIKE.
Three Thousand City Railway
Employees May Go Out.

CHICAGO. April 2s.-There is strong
probability that all the operating en-
ployes of the Chicago City Railway
company, which owns the entire sys-
TEN of cable and horse cars, be-
sides the alley elevated railroad on
the South side, will go out on a strike.
The trouble arises over the discharge of
twenty-five men in the employ of the
South Side Alley elevated road who
signed an application for a charter in
the American Railway nnion. Supt.
Hopkins, who discharged the
men, says it was merely a
coincidence that the men who signed
the application wers let out. Master
Workman Sovereign, of the K. of L.,
who is here, has investigated the
trouble. and has authorized a strike if
the men are not taken back. The strike
may come tomorrow night, and possibly
no; until Wednesday night. 1t will in
volve about 5000 men.

IN A WRONG POSITION.
Samuel Hill on the Attitude of
the Great Northern.

the Great Northern.
In speaking of the strike yesterday.
Samuel Hill, president of the Montana
Central railway, said:
IL think the attitude of the company
said, for instance. that the company is
trying to displace the old men with
new ones. which is not true.
''The public, l think, believes the
three-hour notice of strike to the COM
pany an insufficient justification. The
business men and committees along the
lines are not fairly represented by the
newspaper accounts. The farmers are
suffering. l understood that in North
ern Minnesota and Dakota. in fact,
throughout the Red river valley. there
has been great inconvenience caused by
the lack of railroad facilities during the
present high water. l am also informed
that the farmers are getting what men
they want at from $40 to SO per month
and board. Now, when an unskilled
labOrer gets $50 per month from rail-
road he is certainly as we'll off as the
farm laborer. Our farm friend could
not be made to believe that the railroad
men work longer hours than he does.
| think the whole matter will reach
final settlement very shortly
Answering these statements Vice
President Howard, of tine A. r. u. said:
I'VE know that the sentiment of the
majority of the people of the United
States is with our men in this contest.
The company is taking an undue adj
vantage in running empty mail cars
without mail or mail agent or any other
postoffice paraphernalia for the purpose
of getting protection from United States
marshals to Overawe our men. We have
already taken the matter up with the
authorities at Washington. | am sur
prised that any railroad official should
he found quoting unskilled labor in con-
nection with railroad performance. All
railroad labor is skilled labor. 1t re-
quires skill to lamp tie properly. No
one knows this better than a practical
man like j. j Hill'
