ural Irish wit frequently adds strength to
her words. Her purpose is to assist IN
uplifting the human race. There is no per
son too low in the scale OF human life for
Mrs. Jones TO speak a word OF encourage
ment and sympathy and there is none too
high TO escape her criticism.
She possesses the faculty of inducing men
to stand together and their wives TO stand
by their husbands. The power she shows
In this direction is great and it has be-
come so widely recognized that she Is
hailed with delight when needed in time or
strike.
No woman has a stronger personality
than Mrs. Jones, and her unyielding at
titude against the dictatorial methods some
times used by employers has won for her
their highest respect. and she is the pride
of the laboring men. A demonstration OF

in West Virginia, where a strong effort is
now being made TO organize the miners.
So successful has she been in her assist
ance to the organizers that last week what
purported TO be a writ of mandamus was
issued against her by the courts, asking
her TO leave the State at once. AT that
time she was preparing to come to IN
dianapolis TO attend the convention, but
with the mandamus writ, all preparations

stay IN West Virginia and notified the
United Mine Workers officials that she
would not attend the convention. She

were employing foreigners who had no in

piercing, steel gray eyes. She is strictly

She usually dresses in black and has a
modest. unassuming appearance that COM
mands the highest respect. and does not
betray the ability she possesses. Her voice
is like that of the woman, but il is strong
and she has little difficulty in speaking in
large halls and in the open air. While

address to the miners.
An important matter that will come be-

Stewart Donnelly, III West Ohio street,
three boys, all under twelve years of age,
were locked UP at the police station yester-

Lyman, at SIC West Washington street.
They heard noises inside, but found all the
doors and windows fastened and were un-

already in the sack was of such weight

FIREMEN HOLDING OUT.
They VIII Probably, However, BE
Compelled to Yield.

The matter of the United Mine Workers
claiming jurisdiction over the Coal Hoist
ing Engineers, the Stationary Firemen and
the International Brotherhood of Black
smiths employed at the mines will be de-
cided in the convention. AT a conference
between the executive board of the Mine
Workers and the representatives of the
three outside organizations. the engineers
and blacksmiths refused to acknowledge
the miners jurisdiction over their organ
izations. The engineers however, took a
different view, and submitted a proposition
whereby the miners will have jurisdiction.
The organization will maintain its identity,
but the engineers cannot strike without
the consent of the miners. 1t will be left
to the convention to decide IL the PROPOSE
ton shall be accepted
While the firemen withdrew from the con-
ference at the time, j. w. Morton, their
international business agent, Is still in the
city, and will have further conferences
with the mine workers. Last night he said
the stationary firemen are also closely al
lied to the coal miners, as they handle all
of the product the miners produce, that 1t
is necessary for them to go hand in hand.
He said If the mine workers claim juris-
diction it will mean a loss or 5000 MEM
bers to the firemen. Tne condition OF the
firemen, he said, is such that they can
greatly increase their Membership by not
affiliating with the mine workers at pres
ent, having added 1900 members in one dis
trict in the anthracite region In a few
weeks. The members who work at the
mines usually are more familiar with the
trades union movement, and as their men,
bership is q great stay to the stationary
firemen, they do not like to lose them. He
said 1t will also set precedent that may
be followed by other organizations that
would be a serious detriment to the Fire
mems Union. This, he said, is the prin-
cipal objection, and 1t Is not so much the
matter of turning over the firemen en-
ployed at the mines to the United Mine
Workers, as it is the danger of other labor
organizations asking the same privilege.
However, if the miners claim jurisdiction,
the firemen will have to yield, and Mr..
Morton says 1t is a case of might makes
right"
