SWITCHMEN's AID ASSOCIATION.
Debs Denounced During the Work
of Reorganization.

KANSAS CITY, No., July 22.-Grand
Master Workman Miles W. Barrett, the
national head of the Switchmen's Mutual
Aid Association, has returned from Chi
cago. he had been in that city for several
weeks past, occupied with other members
of the order in clearing up the business
affairs of the association, and has had
busy time of it.
On being asked as to the present status
of the association Barrett said: 1.-THE
Switchmen's Mutual AID Association is
dissolved. The dissolution was not caused
by the recent strike, though it has been
claimed that that was the cause OF the col
lapse of the association"
what caused the dissolution then ?"
Nothing more nor less than thu defal-
cations of our treasurer, Simsrot We
have been busy in Chicago seeing to the
books which Simsrot kept. and finding out
our precise financial standing and other
matters"
''As to our financial standing. | may say
that we have found Simsrot's detalcations
amounted to S32. 900. This we have found
out by careful going over of the books
recently. The officers of the association
are now engaged in clearing up its bust
ness. Everything will be finished this
month. The beneiciaries. of whom there
are about seventy-five, will be paid within
a short time. Then we shall proceed to
reorganize. A meeting for the formation of
a local Switchmen's Union has already
been set IN Chicago. Similar meetings
will be held in Omaha, S.. Louis, Kansas
City, Denver and other large cities. When
these have been organized each will elect
delegate to national gathering, and we
shall then organize a new union of yard
men. This will take place within a few
months time, we hope"
A secret meeting of the switchmen was
held tonight, at which a local organiZa-
ton was formed to take the place of the
lodges of the Switchmen's Mutual Aid As
ISOLATION. Five hundred mem ers of the
old organization were present.
Resolutions were passed declaring the
late strike ordered by Debs failure and
censuring the latter for his unwise course
in bringing about a condition of things
which wrecked the national organization
Of the switchmen and has left 70 per cent
Of their brothers in Chicago out of posi-
tons. kilograms were read announcing
that similar action was being taken TO-
night in Omaha, St. Louis and other cities.
A committee was appointed TO draw UP a
constitution and bylaws and TO report at
meeting to be held next Wednesday.

mittee to have the sundry civil bill ready
to submit to the Senate early in the week.
1t will carry a large number of changes
and is liable TO cause considerable DEBATE
when taken up. For the rest, there is
long calendar waiting the attention OF the
Senate.
There is real apprehension on the part OF
the friends OF the bill that there Will De an
effort made to supersede the motion now
pending with one to postpone me Dill
Indefinitely. The discovery that such
motion was eontemp plated Friday was TIE
reason of the adjournment over until Mon
day, and it is believed by those on the
inside that if the motion had been MADE
and had not been ruled out on point OF
order it would have carried. The same
apprehension is felt in case the motion
should now be entered. There has been
no effort to secure a Democratic confer
ence to-day, and there does not appear TO
be any likelihood of one tomorrow

conference held in Chicago an order was
promulgated throughout the labor organ
izations in the East directing the men to
enlist in t1e militia. This is denied by
the labor leaders. but the fact remains
that the applications for admission to the
regiments Of the National Guard in this
State have recently been more numerous
than ever. and among Them are many
members of labor organizations. Some OF
the applicants are members OF the knights
of Labor, and this is regarded as slgnlh-
can't because of the fact that after the
railroad riots in Buffalo in 1890 the district
assemblies of that order passed resolutions
requesting their men to refrain from
enlisting in the National Guard. and those
already enlisted retire at the expiration Of
their terms of enlistment or as early as
pussi Die. The officers of the regiment OF
the National Guard in this city have no
knowledge of the action contemplated by
the labor men, but they are now watching
applications for membership. with a view
to ascertaining whether or not applicants
are members of labor organizations.
Colonel w. A, Seward of the Ninth
Regiment, n. G. \. Z, at meeting of
officers of the regiment Saturday night
gave instructions that hereafter all appli-
cants for membership in the regiments
shall be Intercepted as to whether or not
they are members of any abC- organiZa-
tion If so the colonel declared their
applications should be submitted to him
for his personal investigation before the
men are enlisted.

A DAYS INCIDENTS.
Strikers and Guards Exchange
Blows and Shots.

While passing through Livermore last
evening as one of the guard for the Stock
ton train bound for the Oakland mole one
of Colonel Geary's men was struck with a
brick thrown from the outside. 1t hit him
on the side OF the head and knocked him
senseless. He was brought into camp
after taps last night. His name could not
be learned. The man who threw the mis-
sile was not found.
As the local passed bayfield, near Lorin
last week young mau working in the
field raised his pltchfork and pointed it
toward the passing train. A deputy in re-
turn sent bal! in his direction, which
struck the crown of his hat. Probably
the deputy mistoOk the fork for a gun, but
at any rate that young man modestly at
tends to his work now without proffering
any courtesies 10 passing trains.
A less excusable shot occurred at North
Berkeley during the week. A striker, one
Of the fremen, was walking along the
sideU ak when a bullet suddenly ploughed
the ground in front of him. The guard on
ehe engine had handled his gun with such
lack of skill that 1t had discharged its con-
tents at random.

Dupuy Wants No FooIishness in the
French Cabinet.

NEW YORK, July 22.-The Herald's
Paris dispatch says: The sitting OF the

result either in the speedy passage of the
press law, with certain notifications, or
in the overthrow of the Cabinet The
Government will declare it can make no
more concessions. and NJ. Dupuy will an
nounce that if the majority does n OF in the
future follow the Government without any
weakening on their part he will retire

for the Government. and that the vote
against il will not exceed $50.

Who Wants Free CoaI2

Mr., Germans speech, July %.
Free coal would give to single
foreign corporation all the coal
trade from Boston north. Free
coal would not benefit single man
or woman in the country. Who de-
mands it? The professional, the
theoretical tariff-reformer said it
would cheaper the cost of manu-
featuring, yet automatically free
coal would not give the New En-
gland manufacturer more than
three-fourths Of one per cent. Of the
cost of manufacturing. There was
but one great concern on the face
Of the earth that wanted free coal.
In Nova Scotia there was a deposit
Of coal as broad and rich as any on
the face Of the earth. The govern
ment Of Canada had controlled it.
FiYa years ago the Dominion gov
eminent was induced to change its
policy. The small leases were
wiped out. The Canadian Pacific,
the great artery Of Great Britain, to-
gether with men from the United
States, associated themselves to-
gether and secured a ninety nine
years lease OF those coal fields on
condition they should into the
Canadian treasury Il cents ton
royalty. If coal were free, the coal
of Nova Scotia would displace that
Of the United States in New En-
gland, and the treasury of Canada
would be enriched by money that
ought to go into the treasury Of the
United States.
