A DIRTY. COWARDLY AFFAIR
That Is What the Fight on the Ferry Boat
Is Called

That Is What the Fight on the Ferry Boa
Is Called.
Saturday afternoon two Young mer
disagreed over a trivial matter and con
claded to settle it by an agreement to &c
over the Clearwater river and in the
presence Of a few persons settle the mat
ter in bare knuckle fight.
1t did not take long to arrange the de.
| tails and it took less time for the crowd
to reach the boat landing. Arriving at
the landing heavy load was being dis.
charged and the crowd had to wait on
shore. A few crowded onto the boat.
among them the principals to the pro-
posed fight.
The larger part of the crowd remained
on shore eagerly waiting to 90 over and
see real fight, when suddenly there was
rush on the boat and the man who had
made the challenge seized a club
and struck his opponent oyer the head
knocking him against the railing and be-
fore he had regained his equilibrium was
smashed again with a something that
made deep cut in his head and the
blood spurted in great shape. The in
iured man was still game and with his
bare hands went after the man with the
six foot club and made things so lively
for him that he dropped his club and ran
onto the shore and loaded himself with
rocks. Then he took refuge behind a
wagon and made heroic effort to knock
out with rocks the man he had failed to
knock out with six foot club and some
other thing-not human hand.
.All the time the club was in use not
one in the crowd made an effort to
see that fair play was shown. The vic
tim was evidently not in the house of his
friends.
1t was rotten, cowardly, disgraceful
affair and it is hoped that Lewiston will
never see another of its kind.

STILL GOING UP IN BOSTON.

Boston, Sept 27--Boston coal dealers have
further advanced the price of soft coal 30 cents
ton. to 50 for house use. and IS 40 for steam
A representative Of Boston's largest retail
ooal firm said to-day:
The steady advance In the price of soft coal
from 81 - is due TO the same causes which
advanced hard coals-lack of supply to meet the
demand With the continuance of the present
heavy demands for soft. further advances may
be expected. but the price OF hard coal will not
far my influence goes. go any higher than
the present price OF S1-I a ton.
We will supply hard coal in Boston at present
prices long il lasts and then pull out of the
market. What little coal we have and what
little more there is in transit we will distribute
TO the Boston trade exclusively. Within the last
few DAYS We have received orders from WorceS-
ter for delivery of hard coal at $50 a ton, but
we fatty refused the offer because We felt re-
sponsbity TO Boston consumers.

ADVOCATES COMPULSORY ARBITRATION
BISHOP FALLows RETURNS FROM TOUR
OF COAL STRIKE DISTRICTS.

Bishop Fallows of the Reformed Episcopal
Church who has just made tour of inspec
tion through the coal regions has decided that
the only remedy for such troubles as that which
has resulted in the present strike is in COM
pulsorv arbitration before State courts of labor.
He was quoted yesterday as follows:
To prevent another experience like the present
one a form of compulsory arbitration through
legislative enactment seems necessary. Since
such cases can be dealt with neither under civil
nor criminal procedure. why could not separate
courts be created for the consideration of labor
troubles? Such a court or commission, could
hear both sides of the question, and could en-
force its decisions by the infection OF some pen
alty OF course the exact scope which II should
have can be arrived at only after mature con-
sideration but II certainly should be made TO
apply TO such interests as affect Pubic com
modities
The time has passed when ear is given to the
cry that combination of capital is crime. Such
combinations seem necessary TO carry on the
gigantic enterprises of the twentieth century.
But with this combination of capital has come
that of Ia Dor and both have created new condt-
tions which must he met. In the present strike
the miners show unusual determination: TO a
man they regard the contest as one for the life
of unionism; and throughout the country union
lists share their belief and are pouring in con-
tributons for the striking miners from all sides
Nothing like IL have / ever seen In all my OBJ
servation Of such conditions on the other hand,
many of the operators are conscientious Chris
tan mon. NV contention is that the way should
be cleared for them to get together.
