Judge Fred Page Tustin, Deputy Marshal w. D. Grant and Col. George Bloomhardt all of Fort Wrangel came to Juneau on the last trip of the Faral' lon and returned on the same boat. This trio is an interesting gang. They made the officials of Juneau no trouble we are glad to state. They all take and read the News, showing that they are susceptible of reformation.

THE TROUBLES AT WARDNER.
ppsIdenl Rachiord Of The UnIled Mine Workers
Sas National Goremmenl IS Mol 10 B.ane.

Columbus, O.. Aug. l6.-President
Ratchford OF the United Mine workers,
and number Of the subcommittee
on mines and mining OF the industrial
comm. .ssion, which has just inyestigat-
ed the recent mining troubles at Ward
ner. Idaho. in an interview declares
that the national government Is in no
way 10 blame for the unfortunate state
OF affairs at Wardner. Gov. Stunen-
burg Of Idaho. and hrs auditor OF state
Mr. Sinclair, DR. France and others
who are acting under him are beyond
any sha6ow of doubt the only parties
TO whom this cuipable wrong can pro-
perly be charged" said MIR. Ratchford
'In troubles OF this kind. where life and
property have been taken and destroy
ed every good ci zen must agree that
the executive OF the state has a duty
TO perform. a. Is his right and duty to
restore law and order TO guarantee
every citizen of tne commonwealth full
est protection To their lives and prop
erty 20 give 10 those who are charged
with offences against them a fair and
impartial tra. and TO bring criminals
TO Justice. Thus far the state should
go no further. That the miners or
ganization is criminal | deny, but like
other organzat ,ons of men criminals
have foun dtheir way Unto II, and
they have committed crime in the name
of organized labor. the penalty Of which
must fall upon every trades union In
the country and for which they them
selves should be punished according to
law Trades unions are not defenders
of lawlessness. We neither encourage
wrong doing nor shield wrongdoers."
