Three Laborcrs Out of Work Throw
Themselves Under Train.
What appears to be a deliberate attempt
at triple suicide was made near Wells
vile, Mo-. at midnight Wednesday night.
Three men Tying side by side, with their
heads upon the rail, were struck by Wa
bash train No. 6, due in st. Louis at an
early hour Thursday morning. The first
mans head was cut off, the second ones
head was smashed and the third received
serious internal injuries. Physicians say
there is no hope for the recovery of the
two injured men. There was no
cdor Of liquor upon the breath of the two
living men or the clothing of the dead
man. Who the men are is not known.
There was nothing upon their persons by
which they could be identified.
On accountof the peculiar circumstances
surrounding the case it is supposed the
nen, who had doubtless been comrades,
became Respondent at repeated failures to
secure employment aud resolved to die to-

hishe, wages in tivc states dclcmdshn .thc
miners in the pi:tsburg district. = they
fail TO refrain from working tp, rlovement
viii; be failure. Fully los. Wines were
represented at the miners Convention on
Saturday by sccnty-tive. delegates. This
is Il larger attendance ,iaan at any conven-
tiOn sine the. great strike of 1894. The
resolution adopted was strong enough for
emergency. a resolution was also adopted
requesting Gov. Hastings to sign the
weighing and coal commission bills which
pissed the legislature and are now before
him.
One of the significant points about the
convention Saturday was the fact that no
representatives were present from the
mines where ironclad contracts and signed
agreements exist.
A strong effort is being made to get the
cooperation of the river miners in the
coming fight. The operators are making
no efforts to conciiatc the miners. Not an
operator can be found who will not say
that the miners are entitled to what they
demand, 60 cents ton. No effort will be
made to operate the mines unless it should
lie the river mines, hence no trouble is an
ticipatcd.
The officials of the United Mine Work.
crs of the Pittsburg district held meet
ing Sunday and heard reports from various
parts of the district. Each of these indi-
Gated that the men would quit work. The
question of securing sustenancc for the
vast army of idle men is the most serious
question confronting the officials. The
organization has no money in its treasury.
The miners have been unable to save any
thing and only those who lave little gar
den patches will be able TO live indepentl-
emily during the cessation of work.
