English Socialist Leader Publishes an Art

London, July 9.-Hyndman, the Eng

the currsE. issue of Justice. the So
cialist organ, on the subject Of the In
dian riots. 1t is full of accusations
against the government is insulting TO
the queen, and concludes as follows:
Now let US say plainly, as English
men who are utterly sick of the infa-
nous wrong and robbery being done in
our name, who would gladly see the
villains tried and hanged, from Lord
George Hamilton, the secretary of state
for India. upwards, who have created
the famine and murdered natives by the
millions, that if ever rebellion was justi-
fled in the history of the world, it is
justified in British India today. No
more intolerable tyranny ever crushed
and ruined a suffering people. The ma
tives of India are quite right to revolt
and organize for the destruction of their
infamous rule. and the sooner their
emancipation comes the better everv
democratic socialist in the country will
be pleased"

Fellow worIers-RaiIroads Begin seiz-

They Can Find It-Bishop Potter Ready
To Lend His Aid.
Columbus, o., July 9.-The strike tide
Is swelling. For good or evil the great
est labor war Of modern times in the
United States is daily assuming more
an appearance of unanimity and fierce
determination. From Pomeroy, O.,
comes word that the Syracuse miners,
200 strong, have made start toward
joining the great strike. They have
laid down tools, contingent on other
miners of the Pomeroy Bend coming
out. 1t now looks like the whole Bend
will join in the movement.
The railroads have already begun to
seize coal for their own use, no matter
to whom it is consigned. Whole trains
are sent to railroad yards and unload
ed, regardless of ownership. The con-
fiscation began at the first talk Of the
miners strike and now is becoming
general.
hOIkS w III SOOh tAOSfs
Nearly every manufacturing estab-
lishment in Cleveland has been the loser
by this, and with some of them the sit
uation is so serious that the closing of
the works will soon be necessary. The
railroads take the coal by virtue of the
fact that they carry the United States
mails. Coal has been seized by the rail-
roads in a number Of states.
Indianapolis sends word that "the In
diana commissioners readily agreed to
the Ohio commissioners proposition for
a general conference here next week of
the state labor commissioners from
Pennsylvania, Ohio, Illinois and Indi-
ana to discuss measures for arbitrating
the great strike. From here Commits
sioner Bishop of Ohio went to Illinois
to consult with the commissioner in that
state. The meeting will probably he
held in indianapolis next Tuesday"

scale OF 1894, as suggested in the ad-
dress, the miners want price based on
gross weight, which is now provided for
in the new mining law resolution
was passed earnestly requesting the
miners working in country banks and
other small mines to cease work. These
mines supply the local trade or are op-
Grated in connection with manufactur-
