ferred to and in cases where one bona fide

HOUSTON, Tex, Sept. 14.-From all
parts Of the United States many thou
sands Of dollars are pouring into this
city for the relief of destitute Texas
storm sufferers. Trainloads Of provi-
sions and clothing are also hurrying
toward Houston and Galveston and
those of the refugees who have arrived
here are being made as comfortable as
possible. Estimates of the number Of
dead still vary. Mayor Jones Of Gal.
weston maintains his opinion that the
number will be no less than 5000.
Property losses are mounting higher as
details arrive, and some estimates for the
city of Galveston reach as high as $780,
100000. There are $4,000 people home
less in that city to be taken care Of and
it is question whether Galveston can
or will be rebuilt. There seems to be
disposition on the part Of the leading
citizens however, to start resolutely
where the storm left off and raise a
new city from the ruins of the old.
Troops are patrolling the city and
looting has practically been stopped.
Several additional cases have been re-
ported where vandals have been shot
down while robbing the dead, but troops
are rapidly gaining control of the law

Miners Of1cials Sign a Document Calling

Miners Officials Sign Document Calling
Out Thousands of Men.
INDIANAPOLIS, Sept. 14.-At 5:15 p.
m. President Mitchell and Secretary
Wilson of the United Mine Workers of
America affixed their signatures to the
document which will call 149, 900 min.
ers Of the Pennsylvania anthracite re-
gion from their work Monday morning
and precipitate one Of the most gigantic
strikes in the history of the labor
world.
The document was the official en-
dorsement of the request of the anthra-
cite districts to strike. It was consid-
cred by the national executive board of
the mine workers last week and when
the board adjourned all power to en-.
dorse the request for the strike was left
in the hands of the national president
and secretary. The official order to
strike was sent to the three presidents
Of the Pennsylvania districts.
During the afternoon President Nit
chen and Secretary Wilson sat in the
headquarters. Both were nervous.
They opened kilograms from different
parts of the anthracite region with
feverish haste, thinking. as they said,
each message might be some concession
from the operators that would prevent
the strike.
The three district presidents reported
that Of the 14S,000 men in the three dis
tricts 134, 900 would go on strike Mon
day. President Mitchell would not
state what secret influence was at work
to prevent the strike and which caused
the delay. He, said the person at work
had offered his services voluntarily and
the matter was confidential
