who previous to their incarceration

have violated their paroles. These vIo-
Iations comprise, in several instances,

SHAFFER ORDERS STRIKE.
Big Battle for supremacy Between Union
Steel Employees and the Msgnates
Is Now ON.

Pittsburg, Pa, Aug. AFTER weeks
of preliminary skirmising at last the
great battle between the gigantic
steel trust and the thousands of men
marshaling under the banners of the
Amalgamated Association of Iron,
Steel and Tin Workers is fairly on.
The long-talked-of general strike or
der was issued by President Shaffer
yesterday evening, to take effect
after the last turn of the mills on
August 10. What the result will be
no man can foretell, but judging by
the expressed determination of both
parties to the controversy the battle
will be waged to the very last ditch.
Much money will be lost, thousands
upon thousands of men will be idle,
great suffering is looked for and even
bloodshed and death are possible and
feared.
The order will throw idle about
Il, 900 union men and about $4,000 men
N the mills who are connected with
the Federation of Labor and who are
not organized, but who will have no
work by reason of the strike of the
skilled men. Altogether 100000 men
will likely be idle. The order, it is
said, will also call out the men at
the furnaces owned by the United
States corporation who are not mem
bers of the Amalgamated association,
but who are connected with the
American Federation of Labor.

officers shall be food and drug inspectors,
subordinate TO the State Board OF Health"
This section OF the law plainly makes the
State Board OF Health bureau for the en-
forcement of the pure-food and drug act.
AS far as the federal government looking
after our food here in Indiana is concerned
may be true, but the federal government is
making classical Investigations, that the
States may apply them practically. The
analysis or Investigations made by the
national government cannot be basis
for prosecution in Indiana, nor TO remove
the adulteration evil, and for this reason
this fact has nothing to do with the law
now being considered in Indiana.

TONNAGE is INCREASING
LOADED CAR MOVEMENT RECORD
BREAKING FOR MIDWINTER.
Actual Earnings of the Big Four and

The train records show that there were

cars. 20.9S0 being loaded an increase over
the preceding week of al and over the week
increase over corresponding weeks in Jan
uary of former years, in fact, il was the
largest movement of loaded cars in any
midwinter week since these records were
kept. and the better feature Is that the
business I'm all directions is being carried
az tariff rates, whereas at the correspond
ing period last year and in 1890 freight rates
were badly demoralized. 1t will be noticed
that the Monon and the four Pennsylvania
lines are the only roads which show a
lighter movement this year than in the cor
responding week of 1900, and in this con-
nection it should be noted that a conges-
ton Of loaded cars at Pittsburg Cleveland
and Buffalo caused a lighter eastbound
movement than IL would have been If the
reads had been clear. but in each case on
Friday notice was given by eastern con-
1ections to resume forwarding all classes
o. freight. The shortage in cars is being
gradually relieved although no road has
al the cars to fill orders as sent in prompt
~. Eastbound there is no increase in grain
movement proper, but in cerealine products
an increased tonnage is going forward and
the same is true in provisions. In west
bound business little improvement is no
tlceable in higher class freights. in the
lower class freights, for some months
past, the loaded car movement is limited
TO cars that can be supplied. In all drec-
tons a heavy tonnage of coal is being
handled, and of railway supplies, iron

To the Editor of the indianapolis Journal:
Much ado Is being made about what the
pay of justices of the peace shall be in
cities whose population is from 10000 to
100 900. but 10 one seems interested in the
CONDENSATION Of justices in the rural dis
tricts or towns less than 10000. The facts
of the case are these: That the laws of the
State compel justice of the peace and
compensation, for they arc compelled to
sit IN all felony cases, make out and trans
nit transcripts of their judgments TO the
clerk OF the Circuit Court, and they must
furnish fuel, light and Office free The
result is that fully three-fourths OF the
labor they perform under the present law
is without compensation, and their only
hope OF reward Is In connections on mis-
demeanors. and as most OF this class lay
out their fines in the county Jail, 1t is a
travesty on justice 10 compel a justice of
the peace TO work in this way. whether he
live in towns of 1000 or 10000. In this
township we cannot get a constable to serve
for if he qualities he can be compelled, no
matter how bad the roads or the weather,
to so to remote parts OF the county with
little hope OF compensation. AS the law
stands. IL puts premium on judicial dis
honesty. and wonder the Justices are
charged with assessing fine. guilty or
innocent, for the Zee that is in IT," Now,
Ii have often thought It strange that our
Legislature would wrestle for sixty days
with a g0OSeberry bill dog bill or cayil
over the merits OF a fish law which affects
only small proportion of our people.
Were they could pass law that would
be of great Importance 10 the entire people
of the State by putting all the justices OF
the peace and the constables upon rea-
sonable salary and enlarging their duties.

the pulpit that would fiendishly antagonize
such noble heart in the pew is stranger
to the spirit of the Master. 1t will be a
dark day for the world when the govern
ing peerage OF minds shall be estranged
from the temples of Christianity. In such
a bitter divorce I affirm that the fault will
lie with a church that has dwarfed her
Lord, and not with the best men, who
really crave the Christ
AS things now are. the state could not
tax the people for a church that is fragled
and splintered into so many sections; how
could tax be equitabiy divided among
such n swarm of insect isms? No: the
church can be too proud TO take a tax
wrung from the people by law. But none
the less, we affirm that if the church
taught the simple views of the great Naz-
arene and merged small movements in
larger ones, then, i believe the tides of
influences rolling abroad from her sweeten-
ing and strengthening the land, would
draw millions of money from the public
treasures for her enterprises, and that

negotiations for the absorption of the

Favor- a State Laboratory.

To the Editor of the indianapolis Journal:
In an editorial of Jan. 10, referring to
my article in behalf of the laboratory of
hygiene, you say the only necessity 1
show for it is to discover impure foods
and drugs. T particularly stated three sep
arate functions for the laboratory to per-
form: First, to look after and prevent the
adulteration of food and drugs; second, to
make sanitary Investigations to further
the health and happiness OF the public;
third, TO attend to stream pollution and
save the streams and also the valuable in
dustries which pollute the stream. One
very important point which you fail to
consider is that. under this law, with the
laboratory, our stream pollution can be
looked after and prevented, and at the
stream can be saved, while under our pres
ent laws all of our industries which pollute
the streams would be run out of the State
If the law was enforced / ask you in all
candor which is the best, stop the pollu-
ton of the streams and also save our in
dustries, follow your method-the old
way-stop the pollution by sending all the
industries out of the State
The pure-food proposition is now already
engrafted, and one OF the objects in having
the laboratory of hygiene Is 10 enforce this
now on the statute books. You say that
