PROTECTING THE YOUNG.
The DepIOrabIe Condition Surround
Ing Youthful Prisoners.

CohulNlOh
ing Youthful Prisoners.
The District Commissioners for some days
past have had under consideration the
question Of the separation OF youthful pris-
oners in places Of detention from older and
more hardened criminals.
The subject was referred to the Commits
sioners by Senator Mcmillan, Chairman OF
the Senate District Committee he having
received communication on the subject
from Mrs. Z. B. Russell, Of this city. In
her letter to Senator Mcmillan Mrs. Rus
cell stated that she had served for several
years as matrOn at the District Jail When
IL that position, she declared, she had
seen girls not more than eight or ten years
OF age brought in on sentences OF fifteen
to thirty days for theft.
From the time Of their arrest until they
we're discharged from Jail" Mrs. Russell
states. these children were never sep
arated from their fellow prisoners. who
We're men and women. They were sent TO
and from court in the van with old and
hardened criminals, the vehicle often be-
ing so crowded that the women and little
girls were obliged to sit on the laps OF the
men. In all their associations with those
Older In crime than themselves" a" Mrs. Rus
sell says. children and unmarried girls
were compelled TO listen 10 profane and
vie language, separation Of the two classes
oi Offenders being at no time possible, even
IN court
1t is the same" she continued "in the
cells in the stationhouses, and stilI worse
at the Police Court. where the young and
Old OF both sexes are crowded in to-
sether awaiting trial, and the cells are
not separated. The drinking smoking
and chewing Of tobacco. the vile and pro-
Zane language make IL that a boy or girl
would better be bsheaded than 20 pass
through the stationhOuses, the Police
Court or the upper court, for the same
conditions obtain there. and then to the
WorkhOuse or the iai'. There is in some
OF the stationhouses some arrangements
made TO separate the yolng offenders from
the old, but they are in the same building,
ana FEAR the Improvements Will be only
temporary, because they were not con-
siructed for such emergencies as we have
been forcing upon them. ard yet that is
not a good word, for they Cthe police au-
thori iesb have all been so very kind to
do the best they could under the existing
circumstances"
The Commissioners are agreed that the
conditions referred to by Mrs. Russell ere
greatly To be deplored. and that they would
favor any feasible measure which offers a
remedy. IL was explained 10 a Times re-
porter yesterday that the only point at
which the Commissioners can exercise any
control OF The matter is IN the police sta
Ionhouses. There. il h. said provision is
made. so far as circumstances viii allow

strike of Men Against Millions.

More than 100, 900 miners in he
anthracite region of Pennsylvania are
striking against starvation wages
For many months these miners have
averaged a wage of go cents a day
They were fortunate if they got four
DAYS work a week. Even with star
walton staring them in the face the
miners delayed the strike frsm week
to week AMI pleaded with the coal
operators to submit the differences to
arbitration. The employers refused
Upon the coal operators rests the re-
sponsibility for this strike and the
consequences thereof.
The republicans realize that here is
a most crushing and conclusive neg
alive to their fismboyant talk about
prosperity" and the full dinner
pail The coal operators have
prosperity. So much of it
that they have become as ar
rogant as crowned kings. They
welcome the strike as an excuse for
putting up the price of coal to the
consumer. There is a good supply
there is saving of $166 900 a day
in their pay roll.
The operators figure that they have
the repu blican governor of Pennsylva-
MIA behind them and IL, 900 state mil
itia. Why should they be anxious? 1t
appears clear to them that the miners
are likely soon to be starved into sub
mission. Ifgoaded by hunger. the len
become restless and excitable, the
militia will be there to overawe them
and shoot them down at discretion.
Yes. the operators think they can af-
ford to risk the biggest strike in the
history of the country.
The miners of Ohio, Illinois and In
LLAMA regard this strike as if It oc-
CURED in their own locality. They
will spend their treasury to help their
comrades in Pennsylvania. A failure
of the protest there means a reduction
of wages to all miners.
All wageworkers look with anxiety
on this strike. 1t is test of'strength
between the trusts and the workers.
Ii the coal baron5 of Pennsylvania can
force the men back to work on their
own terms, every other combine in
the couatry will follow the example.
Every good citizen in the country
sympathizes with the miners because
their cause is just one. Is comes
home to every citizen who hopes to
see this country delivered from trust
domination. The present trouble
will prove an object lesson in the dan
ger of allowing trusts and com bines
TO flourish without restraint. They
are becoming so arrogant that they
put themselves above all law. The
producer and consumer are equally
