The dairymen Of Illinois have got
their anti-color (butterlne) bill enacted
into law, but will now have to push 1t
In the courts. A Chicago paper last
week said: "Butterine manufacturers
have banded together to test the con-
stitutionality ! Of the anti-butterine
color law. They will resume manufac-
turing and colorfng It in defiance Of
the statute. Three Of the largest firms
engaged in its manufacture have al
ready resumed. They are the Fried
man Manufacturing Company, Braun
Z Fits, and the w. J. Moxley Com
pany. They Will persist in making.
eoloring and selling butterine until ar
rests are made. Then the fight in the
courts will begin. all the firms having
pooled issues in this. The claim of
unconstitutionality is based upon sew
eral points. One is that butter is col
ored by the same process as butterine,
and what is lawful for one Is lawful
for another. A second point is that
the law is special legislation. in the In
terest Of one industry and against an
other. A third point Is that the bill
was passed after midnight-the hour
for adjournment Of Tie legislature
and that the clerk on the third read
ing did not read from the original bill
but from copy. This last allegation
ls undoubtedly true. as the original bill
was stolen from the engrossing clerks
ONCE. The new law should be pushed
TO its full strength, and no time should
be lost In following up violations Of
It. Every transgression should be fol-
lowed by case ct law.

Convention. IN. y

$ k1ttSDurH, Aug. u. - Coal operators
+ OF the Pittsburg district have not been
asleep during the past few days. The
impression in certain circles that there
+ would he no attempt made. to start the
( mines seems to have been established
TOR a purpose, and that purpose was
to divert the attention Of the miners
officials. 1t has been definitely decided
to stArt several mines along the Wheel
ing division Of tine Baltimore & Ohio
railroad. The preliminaries are all
completed and decisive move can be
expected ut most any time.
1t was given out that the Cleveland
operate rs had gone to their homes for
tn. ostensible purpose Of awaiting the
result of the st. Louis convention.
Some of them went, but others did not.
Those remaining behind were members
OF the newly appointed committee
whose duty 1t ia to perfect the arrange
Ments for starting some Of the mines
and In the end break the strike. One
of the first moves was to get in touch
with the railroad companies. The Of
fictals of the railroads ut once agreed
to cooperate with the operators in
bringing about, II possible, an era Of
activity in the coal producing industry
of the Pittsburg district. The question
OF the expense of getting imported la
Dor into the district was discussed and
the railroad company agreed to share
its portion Of the outlay. After this
agreement was made the work of
hiring imported labor was taken
charge of by special subcommittee.
Just when they will be brought into
the district could not be learned.
President Patrick Dolan shook his
head when the question of starting the
mines by the operators was preached.
II don't believe they will make such
an attempt" he said. II am of the
opinion that they will wait until after
the convention at st. Louis. Just now
1t would be big undertaking to start
mines in this district with imported
men. Yet they may be sincere in their
Intentions
District Secretary Warner does not
anticipate that general strike will he
declared at st. Louis. He says It is
not needed. as the miners officials are
satisfied with the progress which the
strike is making.
Henry Floersheim is trying to get
his miners to go to work at the 69-cent
rate. and says they would do so but
that they fear personal violence. To
these he made the proposition that he
will care for their families in case they
are killed.
James Jones & Sons posted notices
ut their Catst,urg and Ivil mines to the
effect that the mines would be started
up ut the 69-cent rate whenever the
men are willing to 60 to work. About
800 miners are affected and a meeting
