SUES DE ARMI1T FOR $4,000.
Miners Leader Cameron Miller Wants Dam,
aEes for Alleged False Arreat.

-~A-
ages for Alleged False Arreat.
P%IrTsBURG. Pa, Aug. 11.-Cameron Miller,
now national organizer, formerly National Vice
President of tho United Mine Workers, to-day
sued w. II. Do Armitt for SIS. 200 damages for
false arrest. Injunctions have been repeatedly
served on Miller. and last week he was prose-
cuted by De Armitt before Justice Lemmons of
Turtle Creek for riot and breach OF the peace.
The Justice discharged him. In speaking of the
suit Miller said
Il have been bounded by Do Armitt every
where / went, and have at no time done any
thing to warrant my arrest. I have travelled
all over the country in the pursuance OF my
duties as an official Of the miners organization,
and have never received the unjust treatment
from any coal operator with whom ] did bust
ness as / have at the hands of Mr.. De Armitt.
1t Is humillating to have warrants sworn out
for my arrest on charges that have no founda-
ton. People who do not know mo will natur.
ally have a wrong impression as TO my char
acter."
Minors Secretary William Warner told THE
Sun correspondent tonight that he would sue
DeArmitt for damages tomorrow. The Com
mittee on Uniformity Signatures met this even
ing and decided to employ n secretary. The
committee will devote all tho time possible to
the work. Arbitrator Little of Ohio said that
the outlook for tho adoption OF the contract was
encouraging.
A meeting was held at Irwin to-day to per.
suade the miners there to quit work.. One or
two Of the coal companies there are supplying
De yArmitt with coal. Another meeting was
held at Plum Creek.

The walters didn't like the placards, and a COM
mittee was appointed to ask Sulzer what they
meant. The answer was:
Those signs mean what they say. Do you
u understand that I"
The committee reported and 1t was then de-
ctded to demand that the signs be taken down.
Sulzer told those who made the demand to go to
Hoboken. or somewhere else. Then tho walters
struck and adjourned to q nearby saloon. Sui
ger sent downtown for more walters.
The strikers heard Of this, and when the
recruits arrived the strikers invited them
to their headquarters to have a drink. The re.
cruits accepted. and there. between beers. they
were told about the placards. About half the
newcomers decided they wouldn't work for a
man like Sulzer and didn't. Another batch OF
walters was sent for. The strikers were lying
in wait for these. About half of them refused
to go to work after hearing the story.
A third messenger was sent downtown for
moro walters. Meanwhile tho picnickers were
ready to mob Sulzer because they couldn't get
waited on. 1t was nearly 10 o'clock last night
before sulzer had enough walters to attend to
the wants of his patrons. The strikers will
bring the matter up before the walters union,
and q boycott of Sulzor is threatened.

CANADA'S KLONDIKE TAX.

u 10 said the Government Has Decided to
Rescind II.
OTTAWA. Aug. 1.-THE Canadian Government
has abandoned its absurd scheme to compel
miners going into the Klondike diggings to pay
. royalty OF 10 to Is per cent. upon all gold
mined by them. The announcement that such
an attempt would DO made was received
with a howl from the politicians and business
mon of the Northwest and Pacific coast, who
realize that under existing conditions such a
policy would only lead to serious trouble and
probably bloodshed.
The storekcopers of British Columbia are too
busy Just now compelling prospectors to buy in
British territory or pay duty to allow any policy
TO be carried out further north which would
cause further irritation.
Frank Oliver, member of Parliament for AL
berta, put the case against the royalty strongly
before the Government. In a memorial to the
Ministry he said:
There Is only one good point about this
proposition, namely, that 1t Is so preposterous
that II can never BIO carried into effect under the
circumstances which exist in the Yukon; and
probably II the authorities ever look into the
matter they will realize this before making
tho attempt to collect such a royalty, II
the diggjngs are not rich tho levy OF tbis thx
would either DO impossible. or 1t would prevent
mining; and II they are rich. 1t would simply
bring on q fight In n region which, ali things
considered. Canada could not expect TO rule by
main force except at a cost that would be much
greater than the profit"
