order and w-abiding behavior they have
exhibited. They have been subject to the
control of leaders who, profiting by for
mer experiences, have so forcibly instilled
into the minds of their followers the stu
pidity of lawbreaking that the peaceful
attitude and actions of the strikers have
been a source of wonder to all the pro-
phets, who have from day to day predict
ed dire happenings. It is conceded by all
that in former times, under similar cir
cumstances, riot and bloodshed would
have resulted long ago from the condi-
tons under which the miners have been
placed during this strike.
The mass meeting Of miners at the. Nc

STRIKE IS SOON WON.
QUARRYMEN AT JOLIET AND
LEMONT GAIN A FIGHT.
Demands Conceded by Employers a
Few Hours Later Wages Are
Raised from $1.25 to the Old
Figure of $3.50 Day.
This Strike a Success.

Workmen in all the stone quarries at
Joliet and Lemont, ILL.,, went on strike
Monday morning for an increase in
wages Of 20 cents day. They won be-
fore the sun went down. Twelve hun
dred men who have been hewing lime
stone ten hours a day for $1.25 will here
after receive $3.50.
So well had the secret plans for the joint
uprising been laid that within half an
~hour from the time the first intimation of
the projected movement was given the
companies, at 9 O'Clock, the suspension of
quarry operations in Lemont and Joliet
was complete. The demands of the men
were made known to the officials and one
by one the queries were emptied of the
men who had been working for two hours
as if they were we'll content.
A hundred men quit work at quarry No.

mont and inaugurated the strike They
marched to the five other Quarries of the
company and their arrival at each was a
signal for the workmen to join them.
When the augmented army reached the
quarry of the Illinois Stone Company it
numbered 400 men, and here it was join

Panic in a Milwaukee Car.

4 burncd-out motor in a Milwaukee
trolley car Sunday night caused a panic
among the passengers, and IN the mad
scramble little Edward Reuter-, aged 4
years vas all but trampied to death. The
boy is fatally injured, and his mother,
Mrs Katie Reuter-, is also seriously hurt.
The panic took place near the corner OF
Greenfield avenue and Clinton street. The
car was crowded with siXty-fve passen-
gers many of whom were women and
children Suddenly there was report like
the explosion of Il bomb, sparks flew from
the wires overhead and flash after flash
of electricity illuminated the car as
though it had been struck by lightning.
The passengers who were standing made
a rush, and Mrs. Reuter- and her child
were thrown to the ground and trampled
upon by men and women, who thought
only of their own safety. A number OF
other passengers were bruised and cut,
but none seriously injured.

Can't Fix Upon Wage Scale.

The Illinois Steel Company has attempt
ed to adjust matters with it's men at
Milwaukee by getting them to adopt a
special scale for the different mills. The
association asquiesced in the suggestion
so far rs the reducing mill is concerned.
The company then made a proposition to
the men to put the top and bottom mill on
a similar scale. This proposition was re-
jected unanimously at a joint meeting of
the three local lodges. The proposition
was that the men should receive the fol-
lowing wages Rollers, $40 per day; heat
ers, So; roUghers, So; cartchers, So; and
helpers, $3.50 per day. This is about half
the amount the rollers have been receiv-
Inc and s.. a day less than the average
wages paid the heaters. The men say if
they were to accept any such proposition
1t would place them outside the Amalga-
mated association, and Bay View, the
strongest union mill in the country, would
be non-un.On mill.

RELIEF STATION OPENED.
Appeal from Starving Miners 10
Needed by Chicago People.

Headquarters for the reception Of SUBJ
seriptions Of money, provisions and cloth
ing for the starving coal miners of Illinois
have been opened at Sc North Desplaines
street, Chicago, by the committee appoint
ed by the Federation Of Labor. All con-
tributions will be received and distributed
through that point.
Trades unions throughout the city have
accorded liberal response to the appeals
made by the relief committee. Meetings
of the various organizations were visited
and the needs Of the miners were laid be-
fore the members. Many Of the unions
gave substantial sums. Others appoint
ed committees to enlist sympathy and as
sistance. The majority Of the contribu-
tons so far received have been in cash,
but the headquarters has been opened in
order to give those a chance to demon
strate their sympathy for the struggling
miners who are in position to give pro-
visions but not money. The citizens Of
Chicago are manifesting a disposition to
be liberal.
In Illinois the mine operators have prac-
tically conceded the victory Of the miners
in the greet suspension. OF the $4,000
miners and mine laborers employed in the
State fully 10000 have already laid down
their tools. Only two mines are reported
to be ut work north of Duquoin. One Of
these is at Decatur and the other at Lin
coin. The only mine Of Importance In the
southern district now being operated is in
Williamson County. In every case where
the miners continued at work the owners
or operators have materially increased the
wages Of their employees.
The plan Of campaign of the coal strik-
ers in the Pittsburg district has resulted
in partial victory, for the De Armit COM
pany practically admit that the Turtle
Greek mines cannot be operated at pres
ent, and have decided to close down.
Thus far the striking miners have brok-
en- all records, both as to numbers attend
| ing their mass meetings and the excellent

There is much excitement there over the
capture, and threats of lynching We're

the cold b;ooded manner in which he was
murdered aroused the ire of the farmers.

The rebellion at the Joliet quarrles was
the second Of the summer, and the success
this time was due to the cooperation of
the Lemont workmen. The blow was
aimed at the Western Stone Company,
which has steadfastly refused to pay $1.5O
a day. Other companies have been paying
this amount, but announced that after
Aug. 1 they would have to cut wages to
S125, in order to be on an equal footing
with the Western Stone Company. The
Joliet Stone Company granted an increase
of % cents day at the time of the June
strike, but last week notified it's men that
it could no longer afford to pay more than
its big competitor. The willingness of
the other companies to treat their men
fairly induced the quarry workers to unite
in forcing an issue with the big corpora
ton.
Public sympathy was all with the strik-
ers. The citizens of Joliet and Lemont
have noted that the wages paid the quarry
laborers have been cut from year to year
until they are insufficient to live on. In
1892 the workmen were receiving Sl.1o
day. Next year this was cut to S1.5O.
This year the further reduction to $1.2o
was made and the Western Stone Com
pany was reluctant to comply with the
wishes of the other firms and re-establish
the 1896 scale.
The pressure brought from all sides on
the Western Stone Company impelled its
officers, after short consultation, to
grant the demands of the strikers: AS
soon as the other stone companies learned
of the action they announced that they
would grant the new scale.
The orderly conduct Of the strike was
gratifying tc the men who projected it.
The quarry population is peaceable. Most
of the men are Poles and the remainder
are Swedes and Irish. They rear families
and maintain homes on a maximum wage
of $3.50 a day;-which has been for some
fine 81 25--and which means an average
for the year of between 70 and 80 cents a

Democratic Theory smashed.

The eagerness Of importers to evade
the new law had one noteworthy result.
It smashed the Cleveland invention,
that the drain of gold from the Treas
ury was due to our currency, which
furnished an endless chain" for the
drawing out of gold. The currency Is
the same to-day it was when Messrs.
Cleveland and Carlisle We're casting
about for any reason but the true one
to account for their bond sales. The
currency is the same and the Treasury
is not drawn upon for gold exception
ally. The reason is the Treasury has
money enough to meet the Govern
ment's expenses. Republicans said all
the while the drain of gold and the
bond sales were due to the tariff for
deficit and would cease as soon as rev.
enue receipts equaled expenses.-Utica

M'LEAN'S GOLD BOND.
COLUMBIA ATHLETIC CLUB.
OF the District of Columbia.
FIRST MORTGAGE FIVE PER
CENT GOLD BONDS.

For Value Received, the Columbia Ath-
letic Club of the District of Columbia
hereby acknowledges itself indebted, and
hereby agrees to pay to JOHN r. M
LEAN, or the bearer hereof, on the first
day Of March, 1909, One Thousand Dol
lars, in GOLD COIN OF THE UNITED
STATES OF THE PRESENT STAND
ARD WEIGHT AND FINENESS, at
the Citizens National Bank Of Washing
ton, at the city of Washington, and in
terest thereon in like gold coin at the rate
OF five per cent per annum, on the first
days Of September and March Of each and
every year, on the production and surren-
der of the proper coupon hereto annexed.
1t appears that John r. Mclean, Of
Washington, who desires to represent
Ohio in the United States Senate, ex-
acts gold bonds from his creditors, and
therefore is a decided goldbug in prac-
tice If not in theory. Some too in
quisitive prowler in Washington has
discovered by examination of the Dis
trict of Columbia records that Mr.. Nc
Lean requires the obligations given to
him to be paid In gold, series of $45,-
600 worth of bonds given in his favor
by the Columbia Athletic Club of that
city being payable, principal and inter
est, in gold coin of the United States
of the present standard and finenesS."
Is not this little inconsistent for a
man who poses as free silver candi-
date. Here are opinions from some
Ohio papers concerning this particular
transaction
Mr.. Mclean should rub up on con-
sistency.-Cincinnati Commensurate

John r. Mclean is a silverite in poll
ties, but u goldbug in DISSATISFACTION

In politics Mr.. Mclean is a 16-to-1
silverite of the most pronounced stripe.
Toledo Blade.
Johnny Mclean talks silver in loud
voice, and when doing business de-
mands gold wherever there is a chance
to get it.-East Liverpool Review.
This shows very plainly that John r.
is silver man for politics only and
that he has no faith in the doctrine he
seeks to NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Tribune.
That gold bond which John r. Nc
Lean required the District of Columbia
Athletic Club to give him is likely to
prove rather embarrassing to him in
his Senatorial race upon the 16-to-1
silver platform.-Ashland Gazette.
And now it seems from revelations
made by the Toledo Blade that in bust
ness Jonah r. Mclean is a strong gold
bug, investing only in securities where
gold payments are guaranteed. Like
his co-laborer in silver, John Peter Alt
geld, Mr.. Mclean considers that silver
is good enough for a political pull, but
it is not good enough for private bust
ness.-Columbus Dispatch.
