AN APPEAL 6

Mayor Biee, OF Cleveland. ~ Esoques;sd TO

ward--A Citizen Tcils something OF
Life In That Section OF the state.

CorUMprs. O., Jan. i4.-Sunday night
Gov. Mckinley, received. stelegram
from Chairman eoultrap, of the relief
committee at Jacksonville. urging that
supplies be sent to Shawnee and Glou-
ster &c once, as well as to Jacksonville.
ImmAdiatelysthe governor sent Mayor
i,lees m Cleveland, the following teleA
gram: Z, az :
ss..ehere is snuch suffering sor pros
visions and clothing among the miners
of the Hooking and Sunday Creek tval-
leys. of this'state. 1t is of.such char
acter that feel constrained to call
upon the generous people of Ohio to
render assistance. The car load of sup
plies sent last week has been already
exhausted Columbus sent Il car load
Sunday night, and Cincinnati will COM
mence shipping her contributions Mon
day. Contributions can be either mon
ey, provisions or clothing. Can Cleve-
land be ready TO ship supplies by We'd
nesday, or otherwise contribute as it
may deem best by that timeo Twill
later indicate owhaf points the ship
mentS should De made.
The carload Of provisions that was
to leave Sunday morning was not sent,
but will 60 to Gloustcr Monday morn
ing.
A gentleman who resides i'll the
Hooking valley and who is pretty
familiar with the conditions Of the
miners, was here Sunday He says the
miners have been in destitute cir
cumstances for. some time, and that
the matter was reported to the officials
of the United min workers, but they
practically ignored the matter prob
ably because they did not comprehend
the real trnth.
When they failed to take action, the
miners themselves appointed commit
tees, who, for the last two months,
have been going quietly about the
country soliciting aid, which they
claimed was for Hooking Valley rail
road men who lost their situations by
reason of the strike on that road last
summer.
This, the gentleman claimed, was
done in order that the public might not
know that the miners were in impov-
erished circumstances. The gentle.
man said he had heard it charged that
the United Mineworkers' officials had
advised that theSInatter be kept from
the pubic, but he doubted the truth oi
this.
He further says that the destitution
in the Hooking Valley far overshadows
that in the Jacksonville valley He
thinks the destitute there will have to
be cared for. until spring at least. -
The well-to-do citizens in the impov'
er;shed district charge that much OF
the suffering there can be traced to
the drinking habit. They say many OF
the miners in prosperous times seem
to have no other desire than to enrich
the saloon keepers, and make no at
tempt to prepare for adversely.
The better class of miners admit that
this is true in great many instances,
but the wives and children of such
men-who are the real sufferers now
are not responsible for this condi ton
But while these charges are made
those making them proclaim that this
is not time to inquire after cause
The effect alone must be considered.

M'BRIDE IS ACCUSED.
District Organizer Wild Says Money
was Used to Settle
Strike.

Columbus, O., Feb. IA sensation
was sprung today in the meeting of the
United Mine Workers of America. Mark
Wild, district organizer of the American
Railway union, under Mr.. Debs, being
granted the floor, stated that when the
"A. Il. U. last summer was attempting to
stop the running of trains on the Hook
ing Valley road, John Mcbride, at that
time president of the United Mine Work
ers, gave him 5000 to induce settlement
of the strike of the railroad men OF
that road. Mr.. Mcbride was not present
when this statement was made, but upon
coming into the convention said he did
give Wild the money as Il charitable dona>
ton from some of the coal operators,
the strike on the road having been pre-
viously overcome by the railroadc ompany.
Mr.. Mcbride said None of the money
came from the railroad company" A
committee was appointed by the miners
convention to investigate and report upon
the subject in controversy between Wild
and Mcbride.
The cause of the convention permitting
Wild, who is not delegate, to speak,
was the challenge Wednesday evening
by Mcbride to other miners or railroad
men who participated in the strikes of
last summer to show that he had acted
unfairly or had not been square in any
act or duty which he performed. When
he made this challenge the convention
was considering a resolution proposing

PRESIDENT M'BRIDE.

vote of confidence in it's national officers,
who had been accused by A. A. Adams
of Ohio with having settled the strike
corruptly, giving the miners lower wages
than they might otherwise have obtained.
This opened the way for Mr.. Wild to
ask to be heard. MIR. Wild admitted
frankly that he took the package, not
knowing what was in it until he got
home. when he decided to use the money
to help Adams in his fight against the
miners national officers.
Mr.. McBrides explanation to the con-
vention today was that Mr.. Wild had
come to him during the railroad strike
and besought him to pull the miners into
a strike also so the road would not have
coal to haul. This Mcbride declined to
do. Then after the railroad company de-
feated Wild. who was one of its con-
ductors, the coal operators made up a
purse amounting to what they assumed
would be a years salary to Mr.. Wild
and asked Mcbride to give the money to
him as charitable donation. When
Mcbride gave, Wild the money, lit was
Bride that Wild keep quiet from that
time on Mcbride said: '"rhe opera
tors told me to give Wild the money be-
cause he would need it and as he had
stepped out of the way to allow the rail-
road company to haul the coal which was
then being mined
In closing Mr. Mcbride repeated, with
emphasis, that the money had no bear
ing whatever on the railroad strike, as
it had been settled.
Mr. Wild's speech to the convention
states that he received the 5000 two or
three days after the railroad strike ha"
been settled
Adams charge against the National
mine officials were not sustained. Vote,
1OS to a. Fifteen did not vote.
Columbus, O., Feb. 15.-The chief mat
ter of interest in the miners convention
today was the report of the committee
of fifteen to the effect that it had not
found sufficient evidence to justify the
allegation of Mark Wild that he had
been given money corruptly by John Nc
Bride to pull out as leader of the Debs
men in the Hooking Valley railroad
strike.
This report was not satisfactory to
Mr. Mcbride and his friends. They said
it was equivalent to Scotch verdict
-"guilty, but not proven"-and insisted
upon and finally carried their point to
have the report recommitted with in
structions to the committee to make AN
effort to settle the matter definitely ONE
way or the other The committee will
meet this evening. In the meantime the
regular proceedings of the convention
will continue The committee is COM

delegations, each man by his own dele

He was anxious puzzled, curious, i'll at

where but where he was for the world.
The custom Of having fat decora-
lions for the dinner table had not OBJ
tanned at the time we write of, and in
front of Geraldine and her partner
large Towering plants formed all eff
tectual screen from the eyes of those
opposite.
