COAL STRIKE REPORTED
LABOR COMMISSION GETS A TELE-
GRAM FROM LINTON.
No Indication of the Size of It-"RoOm
Turning" Starts the
Trouble.

Another coal miners strike is threat
ened in this State, according to a telegram
received yesterday by Labor Commissioner
Mccormack. The news of trouble in the
coal fields came in the nature of a great
surprise to the state labor commissioners
who had supposed all the differences be-
tween the operators and the miners had
been adjusted for a long term. To what
proportions the strike has developed or how
many men involved, it is impossible to
tell at this time
The trouble started in the Bon-ton mine
which it situated about a mile out from
Linton, in Greene county. The mine is a
comparatively small one, but is in the heart
of a large mining district, which is likely
to be affected by the troubles of the Bon
ton men. The mine is under the control of
Superintendent Phil II. Penna, who has al
ways been regarded as man much in SYM
pathy with the miners, having been a miner
himself and at the present time holding a
membership in the United Mine Workers
During all the previous troubles of the min
ers the Benton mine has been exempt from
them, because of the good understanding
existing between the men and the COM
pany. 1t is thought the trouble arises over
the operation known technically as room
turning" which consists Of digging out new
chambers or pockets i'll getting to new
veins. There has always been considerab BILE
controversy with the miners over the rate
was not specified as the real cause for the
trouble, the commissioners think it to be
so. Deputy Mine Inspector James Epper-
son, of Linton, IS on the ground trying to
patch up the difficulty, and has been asked
by the labor commissioners to send in a
full report of the trouble

RACE TRACK RAIDED.
Clash Between COnstabIes and De-
tectives-Many Bruised Heads.

CHICAGO, Aug. ia force of specially
deputized constables, employed by a local
detective agency, clashed with six members
Of the Cicero police force at the Hawthorne
tracks this afternoon and were routed. Of
the fifty private detectives, seven were ar
rested charged with melting riot and disor-
derby conduct Chief Vallenso, of the Cicero
police force, and his six men each capturing
a prisoner. The arrest of the seven was not
accomplished without Slight bloodshed, and
there were many bruised and cut heads and
faces as the result of the encounter. The
clash was the result of the attempt on the
part of the special deputies to serve war
rants sworn in Justice Prndiville's court by
Charles l.. MichelS. who, at the time the
warrants were sworn, was accompanied by
John Brenock, under whose direction he
was acting The raid was the outcome of a
controversy between Brenock and Edward
Corrigan. The men formerly were partners
in the management of the track and are en-
gagged in lawsuit over the property. Bre-
mock desires that no races be held on the
track until he secures what he considers his
due and swore out warrants for the arrest
of large number of people to-day, alleging
violation of the gambling law. Corrigan
and three officials of the track were ar
rested and later released on bail.

sutton Again Picked Tn.

Several days ago Edward Sutton, who is
well known to the police in this city, was
arrested and locked up on a charge of loi-
tering. On the following morning in Police
Court he was fined $40 and given sixty days
in the workhouse. However. upon the con-
dition that he was to leave town inside of a
few hours, Judge Cox suspended judgment
1t was thought that he had gone, but last
night he was found by Detectives Asch and
Dugan in the heavy crowds about the mar
ket. He saw the detectives and ran before
they could lay hands on him. He made his
way to nearby saloon and hid but the
detectives followed and pulled him out.
A few minutes before Layton Smith, a
nephew of the McPeaks, of this city was
arrested at about the same place in the
market crowd. 1t is now believed that SUIT
ton and Smith were working together, and
to no good for the people with whom they
came in contact.

Are We on the Up Grader
Chicago Advocate.


Current indications suggest that the moral
tone of the whole Nation is ascending. We
are fully persuaded that our citizens sense
of American responsibility and the convic-
ton that from this time forward we are to
share in the councils of the nations must
conspire to increase national self-respect
and compel us TO send the political adven-
turer to the rear forever. That self-respect
already is manifest. The nearly score
of committees and commissions recently ap-
pointed to formulate and adjust the items
embodied in the recent war legislation are
composed of excellent. responsible and
worthy citizens The old saying that a
reform in our national politics is impossi-
BILE because of the potency of corrupt mu-
nicipal politics is still ringing in our once
almost hopeless ears. Is 1t not possible that
the drift of resstless reform may be in the
exact opposite direction? Is IL not more
than probable that the federal self-respect
which is so palpably the fruit of our national
contemplation of international concerns
will operate almost miraculously to compel
reform in city politics? That may be God
better way in which he will lead US out
OF our desperate political Egypt Devout
men and women have been praying for the
Republic for years. and God seenls bound
to answer those prayers, his own laws and
promises being the test. No American
could possibly have chosen a more signifi-
cant age In which to labor hope pray and
live for God and his country.

His Absence a Year Ago Caused some
Gossip.

Charles FRANKIE, No. 6S keystone avenue,
left his home one week ago yesterday with
out giving his wife and family any warn

After packing a few articles on that day he
informed his wife that he was going away,

first time he has left, aEd, consequently,
Mrs. FRANKIE is feeling little uneasiness. She
says that he will return in a short time and
either stay or take herself and family with
him to wherever he chooses to settle. In
the latter part of last year he disappeared
and was gone for several weeks, being final
" located by his attorney, who went to Dali
las, Tex, and returned with him to this
city. At that time Mr.. FRANKIE was at the
point of going into business in the Texas
city, but was persuaded to return. 1t is
now believed that FRANKIE has returned to
Dallas, where he is acquainted from his last
years experience.
