Pictures Secured of the Men
Who 60 to Work

Chicago, Aug. 20. Striking ma.
chinists have taken up the camera as
means Uf evading Judge Kohlsatt's s
injunction prohibiting them from
picketing the Allis-Chalmers Com
pany's plant.
Since there is nothing in the iniunc-
tion restraining the striders from TAX
ing pictures, the pickets have been
transformed into amateur photo
graphers and every time non-union
man enters or leaves the works his
picture is taken.
Taking pictures of these men can
not be construed as intimidation, u
said Business Agent Ireland tonight.
Their pictures will be of advantage
for circulation among the different
unions, where they will be marked as
men who travel through the country
taking the positions of workmen who
are on strike"

COAL STRIKE PROBABLE
Topeka, Aug. 2G.-W. L. a. John
son, labor commissioner, says the en-
ployes of the Southern Kansas mining
companies, known as the big Four, "
will strike September l. The center
of these mnes.is Pttsburg. He says
miners are voting now in their local
lodges. The companies have refused
to make concessions.
MAJORITY FAVOR STRIKE
Pittsburg, Kas., Aug. 26.-Since the
close of the conference between the
miners and the big Four" operators
in the three districts in which they
have mines located, which culminated
in the matter being left in the hands of
the executive board, the miners have
been holding meetings regularly and
voting upon the question of strike
provided such an order should be is
sued by the board. The results in the
Kansas and Texas mines are about
three to one for strike, while with
the Western Coal and Mining com
pany about 50 per cent of the men are
in favor of obeying a strike order.
The results with the "Three Cs" and
Southwestern improvement companies
men are about in the same ratio.
President Richardson of the eXecu-
hoo nd ,,napfln1 lnnpa "a :
meeting of miners in Weir City yes
terday, while Secretary Gilmour was
the presiding officer at meetings in
Scammon, Mineral and the camps OF
the Kansas and Texas Coal company.
Several ballots were cast upon the
q lestion and each one showed slow
gain favoring a strike. The big
Four" however, are determined in the
stand they have taken, and will treat
with their men, but not with the exec
utive board. The Western Coal and
Mining company has contract with
its men that will not expire for eight
months yet A strike in this district
occurred in 1895 which was practically
the continuation of the memorable one
of 1893. 1t was blow upon the dis
trict and included all of the companies
operating and about 5000 men were
affected, but it succeeded in evening
things up between the majority of th'
companies and the miners. The "BiG
Four" however, while paying th'
district price, has suddenly refused tC
treat with the executive board on a
matters. The present prospective
strike concerns the "Big Four" alone
