Some years ago an Irishman named
Pat Noonan had vegetable stand in
one of the city markets. Pat was
chronic kicker. One day he was COM
planning to the superintendent of the
market that the rent of his stall was
altogether too high. and after giving
various reasons why it should be ma
terially reduced, he wound up by SOL
EMMY declaring that he was losing at
least $1,000 a year.
"Well, Pat, if that's the case" said
the superintendent dryly, I'D advise
you to sell out and quit the business at
once. You certainly can't afford to
keep on If you are running behind ST.
600 a year."
"Sure, an 1 know it." said Pat philo-
sophically. THE business is ruinin me
intirely, but 1 moight ez well sthick to
it now that I'm at 1t. I've got to do
somethin TO make a Twin, an if l quit
sellin cabbages an praties an start at
some other thrade 1 moight be afther
losin more yet, 1 dunno"
The superintendent concluded to low
err Mr.. Noonan's rent and allow him to
remain in the vegetable business

"SCABS LEFT PANA," SAYS RYAN.
Official of the United Mine Workers Makes
Another Statement.

Springfield, Ills, July 27.-W. d.
Ryan, secretary of the United Mine
Workers of Illinois, gave out a state
ment last night in which he denies that
he criticised the action of the state
board of arbitration relative to their
decision in the Pana mining case. He
says in part: ANY man or men who
innocently or otherwise agrees to an
arrangement that Will put an end to
situation as dangerous to the lives,
morals and property of a community
as was the situation at Pana deserves
the commentator of the general pub
lie and the condemnation of no one. /
again say that l am positive the arbi-
tration board done what they actually
knew was for the best and it was the
most beneficial move ever made toward
a settlement in Pana.
II know there will be considerable
adverse criticism, but there is one i'm
portant fact that cannot be denied, and
that is that the scabs left Pana. The
miners spent much money in moving
the non-uion miners from Pana, but
they returned almost as fast as they
were shipped out. Several lives were
lost and many were wounded trying to
drive them out. Both methods failed.
To those who would find fault with the
board of arbitration or myself for the
action taken, let me call their attention
once more to the fact that the scabs
left Pana"

STRIKE rHREArENs CHICAGO.
Its Object Being to Force the Discharge of
Non-Union Men.


Chicago, July 27-The tieing-up of
building operations all over Chicago
threatens to be the immediate outcome
of the long-pending brickmakers' strike
unless the brick manufacturers of
the south side signify their willingness
to forswear all allegiance to north
side yards that are manned by non-un-
ion men. Heretofore the strike has
been confined to the north side, where
for months past the ban Of the Build
ing Trades council has been on struc-
lures in the course of erection because
of the refusal of contractors to inter-
dict non-union-made brick.
The trouble between the Brickmak-
ers' alliance, which includes all the To-
cal brickmakers' unions, began May II
last, when 1000 men walked out at the
yards represented in the North Side
Brick Manufacturers association,
which includes all territory in Cook
county bounded on the south by Mad
ison street The strike was the first
step in an effort of District Council No.
/, of the Brickmakers alliance, to I'M
ioniZe the north side yards.
The present situation grew out of a
meeting of all the allied brick manu-
facturers of the city last Saturday, at
which it was announced that the south
side manufacturers had decided to
stand by those on the north side in
their contentious against the unions.
This prompted the Brickmakers' alli-
ance. backed by the Building Trades
council, to issue an ultimatum declar-
ing that such action on the part of the
employers would precipitate general
strike.

Strike Looming Up n. Detroit.

Detroit, July PA strike of street
railway employees of Detroit is among
the possibilities of the near future. The
executive committee of the local union
was in conference yesterday with the
company officers, the chief points at
issue being changes in the number of
working hours and an increase in pay
from 81 to 25 cents per hour. Under
the present agreement a days work is
limited to ten hours, to be performed
within twelve hours, with a half hours
leeway for half a trip when necessary.
The men want it changed from ten to
nine and from twelve to eleven.

Council Committee That A cted Before VIII
Open Negotiations Again.
a step in which there is much hope
of conciliating the street car company
and it's striking employees was taken
here last night by the committee of the
council which succeeded in patching
up an agreement over the difficulties
which caused the first strike a month
ago. The committee made a request
for a special meeting of the council last
night to discuss ways and means of put
ting an end to the present distressing
situation. 1t is regarded as probable
that the old committee will be reap
pointed and at once set about its la
bors.
1t succeeded in the first instance aft
er the board of arbitration had failed,
and a compromise whereby every fifth
crew was to be non-union was patched
up. The union men on their part
agreed to treat the non-unionists work
ing with them every consideration
shown members of the brotherhood.
Over allegations made by the strikers
that the company had violated this
agreement the strike which started a
week ago Sunday grew. The strikers
say that the company did not put
enough union men at work. The COM
pany claims that their non-uion en-
ployes were much harrassed by the
men of the association.
The work of the committee which is
expected TO result from the meeting of
councilmen tonight will be primarily
to discover if the agreement has been
violated. and if so, by whom.

DOCTRINE OF MONROE
How 1t Applies to the Arbitration
Scheme Adopted at
The Hague.
EXPLAINED BY DIPLOMAT WHITE

Who Also Seems to Intimate That Some
body Was Trying to Catch the Eagle OF
His NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Not to Inter
fere, However, with the Universal APP
pIication of the Arbitration Scheme
Closing Up the Conference Work.
London, July 27-The Hague CORE
spondent of The Times reports a long
conversation with Andrew d. White.
United States ambassador at Berlin
and head of the American delegation,
in which the ambassador. after re-
ferring to the earnest desire of the
American people for a comprehensive
arbitration scheme, as proved by the
constant petitions and resolutions of
large meetings held in all parts of
America since the conference has been
sitting, said:
Americans Welcome Arbitration.
81 believe that a vast majority of our
people will welcome cur arbitration
treaty and see in it a serviceable plan
from the outset, and a germ from which
a more complete system will be evolved
by future conferences. AS time pro-
crosses, without doubt, references to
the tribunal will become increasingly
natural and normal, and thus we may
hope to have every advantage claimed
for obligatory arbitration without its
overwhelming disadvantages.
No Modification of MonrGeism.
"But it could hardly be expected that
we should be willing to accept the re-
quirement to sweep away at once, here
and now, the policy of MonrOeism. II
any modification is ever made of that
policy it must be made by the United
States after it has had the fullest OPP
portunity to study the subject in all its
bearings. Such a change cannot be
made here by implication in treaty
made distinctly for another purpose.
and it is important that there should
be no doubt on this point
Will Not Hamper Arbitration. However.
White then referred to the deep,
almost religious, conviction in the
hearts of the American people against
any foreign ENHANCEMENT" He added.
however, that the declaration of Mon
roeism would leave the United States
policy exactly what it had been here
tofore, and would not in the slightest
degree hamper the operation OF the ar
bitration plan. On the contrary the
United States would fully and faith
fully cooperate in the judicial settle
ment of international difficulties by
means of the agency and machinery
provided in the convention. The past
history of the United abundantly shows,
declared White, that they had not man
ifested the slightest desire to interfere
with or hamper arbitration proceed
ings.

Four Glasses of Cases in which the doc

The ambassador then mentioned nu-
merous cases of arbitrationS arising
under four classes which might be re-
garded as involved in the Monroeism
declaration:
First, between the United States
and European powers.
Second, between the United States
and another American power.
Third, between two American pow
ers, neither being the United States.
Fourth, between an American power
other than the United States and a
foreign power.
"In every instance" said White, "the
United States has regarded these arbi-
tratiOns as promoting peace, and there
fore there is nothing in our history to
warrant the idea that our attitude
would be hostile to any settlement pos
sible under this convention"
The Hague, july 27.-The drafting
committee of the international peace
conference yesterday decided upon the
form of a convention on the laws and
customs of war, and the adaptation of
the Geneva convention to naval war
fare, as well as formula for accession
to the arbitration scheme by non-sig-
natory powers. 1t is hoped that the
conventions will be fully signed by
Saturday.
Sir Julian Pauncefote, head of the
British delegation, having demanded
that the non-signatory powers be en-
titled to adhere to the arbitration con-
vention only by the unanimous con-
sent of the signatory powers, Count
Nigra, chief of the Italian delegation,
proposed an amendment permitting
such adhesion if no power opposes. 1t
is hoped that the British foreign Of
fee will accept the amendment.

Evansville, Ind, July 27.-Rioting
prevailed at two of the local mines
yesterday. AS the coIored non-union
miners employed at the First Avenue
mine came from work they were met
by a crowd of small boys. who carried
tin horns and tin cans. They followed
the miners for about a block, and keps
up a continual yell. Finally the negroes
turned on the boys and pulled THEN
pistols They fired several shots into
the crowd, but no one was hurt. The
boys jumped behind trees and telc-
phone poles for protection. Soon there
were several hundred people on the
scene, and many of them carried Win
chesters- The police dispersed the
crowds with difficulty.
Nearly 1000 people gathered at the
John Ingle mine, and when the negro
miners stopped work they were sur
rounded by strikers and sympathiZers-
Both union and non-union men carried
arms. and il was impossible for the Of
ficers to disarm them. The wife of one
of the strikers made an attack on

Farley Writes Two Letters.

Mayor Farley yesterday mailed
Mayor Phelps a letter in which he
declared that if the Cleveland cohorts
had any more trouble about getting
water, Cleveland - which pumps the
water to tie suburb-would attempt to
abrogate the water truce and let the
whole hamlet go thirsty. Mayor Far
ley also issued a statement to the strik-
ers in which he said that a man who
was more loyal to his labor union than
to himself and his country was a
coward and a bad citizen. Cars were
run on twelve lines of the Big Con-
solidated yesterday and on most of the
lines Tuesday night.

Cleveland, July 27.-The storm CEN
ter of the street railway strike has. ac-
cording to the authorities, settled in
Brooklyn, a suburb connected with
Cleveland by long. high bridge. At
noon $50 employees of the Born Steel
Rang company blockaded a car on the
bridge and dragged the motorman and
conductor from their posts, infiicting
with their fists and other weapons in
juries more painful than serious. Sol
diers on guard at the barn about half
mile away hurried to the scene, but
the rioters had taken refuge in the
factory, which stands under the ap-
proach to the bridge. The factory was
surrounded and the premises searched.
but there was no clew by which the
guilty ones could be picked out so they
bent their efforts in assisting the blood
stained motorman and conductor to
move the car, most of the windows of
which had been broken by stones.
Axline Pipes on the Situation.
General Axline, in command of the
troops here, in order to personally view
the situation, took a ride yesterday or
an Orange street car. He was in civilian
dress and the car was stoned at vari-
GUS intervals all along the route. A
stone came near hitting him. The gen
eral took other trips through the trou-
bled districts, but declined to give his
view of the situation. The vigilance
of the guards while daylight aided
them prevented trouble of a serious
nature. Preparations for mass meet
ings at various points were made dur
ing the day. 1t is expected that a
large one will be held in Monumental
square in the heart of the city tonight,
unless the mayor prohibits it.
Contest Between Two Mayors.
In preparation for one a platform
was yesterday erected in Brooklyn, to
protest against the action OF Mayor
Farley, of Cleveland, who was assumed
supreme police power in Cuyahoga
county. This leaves Mayor Phelps, of
the suburb, together with his con-
stabulary, shorn of their robes of pow
err, and they don't like it. The soldiers
and the Cleveland chief executives
special police in Brooklyn are not
allowed to use the public hydrants to
get water, it is said, and upon various
occasions bayonets were of necessity
used to convince shop keepers that
1t was wisest to sell soldiers what they
wanted.
