taken from the mine at the close of
the days work, has been stoned by
foreigners living nearby.
Late yesterday afternoon a special
Ontario and Western train was made
Company d. The curtains on the win
dows of the car occupied by the SOL
diers were drawn down. so as to con-
ceal their presence, and the train
steamed into Throop, arriving there
about $50 o'clock.
The train pulled into the switch lead
ing to the Pancoast mine, where it re-
manned for several minutes. to convey
the impression that non-union men
were being taken aboard. 1t was then
backed out towards the main line.
The foreigners living in the neighbor-
hood had been busy, meanwhile, and
had piled rocks of large size on the
tracks. A crowd of forty or fifty men,
armed with stones. was lined up near
the track and as the train came along
they let fly. The windows in the cab
of the engine were smashed and big
rock just missed the head of Sergeant
Major Robert NJ. Vail, who was riding
with the engineer.
STONE THROWERs CAPTURED.
Before a second volley of stones could
be thrown, the soldiers jumped from
the slowly moving train and chased the
crowd. which was growing larger every
instant. The rioters. startled at the
sudden appearance of the soldiers took
to their heels. Seven of them We're cap
tured, however, and were turned over
to Deputy Sheriffs John Gaffney and
Jacob Ferber, who were with the party.
The prisoners were brought to this
city on the train, under escort of a
squad of soldiers. and We're taken to
Alderman Ruddy's office, where il hear
ing was conducted. InfOrmatiOns were
sworn out by General Manager Dryden,
of the Ontario and Western coal de-
partment, and warrants for all seven
men were issued and served.

Mrs. Marshall banged back at him
three times. He pulled away farther
and fired two more shots. BY this time
a squad of Captain Conrad's men, from
Company A, reached the scene and,
took Walsh into custody. He claimed
he had been set upon by a crowd Of
strikers and only fired the shots to
bring the soldiers to his rescue. He
was sent under guard to camp and
placed in ,the stockade to await an in
vestigation.
McNally was brought to this city
last night and arraigned for hearing
before Alderman Ruddy. Private Flan-
der Aten. of Company G, testified to
having seen him fire the revolver and
was apparently convinced that he was
firing at him. Aten was one of the

TROUBLE AT OLYPHANT.
The trouble at the Ontario and West
ern depot at Olyphant, which happened
about the same time, bore different
aspect. A guard of four men from
Company G were protecting the troop
train, which is kept standing on
switch near the station. A stone was
thrown through the glass panel of the
car door, striking near one of the SOL
diers, and another stone crashed
through a window of the station watt
ing room. where two of the soldiers
We're sitting. One of the soldiers caught
sight of a man running towards the
river and fired at him. Just as the
shot was fired the man dropped out of
sight, and it was thought he had been
hit. Investigation showed. however.
that his dropping out of sight was due
to his having jumped down an EN-
bankment to the rivers edge.
Michael Bilski, Joseph Beddoe, Ben

While the country at large Is very
| much worked up over the possibility of
| the strike being ended by Fridays con-
| ference at the White house, the local
representatives of the coal companies,
with intimations that they know
whereof they speak, aver in the most
positive terms that the only possible
effect it will have will be to prove to
| the public in general and the mine
| workers in particular that not even
the president of the United States can
| induce the operators to recede from
the position they have so determinedly
and expensively maintained for nearly
| five months
| Wednesday the coal companies were
| somewhat prone to adversely criticize
the president for meddling in the
strike. for the reason that the only re-
suit would be to fill the strikers with
| false hopes Of a compromise and there
| by prolong the struggle.
| This sentiment, however. underwent
a change, yesterday. Every represen-
| tative of the companies who would
| discuss the matter at ALL agreed that
| the presidents action would have a
| good and practical result The opera
| tors will tell the president just what
| they have been telling every one else
| since the beginning of the strike, that
| it would he suicidal for them to make
as much as single concession to the
union. and that the only way in which
the strike can end is by the miners
| returning to work as they quit.
WHAT THEY WILL CONCLUDE.
When it is known to the strikers, the
| company officials say, that there is alb
| solutely no third party who can help
them wiring from the operators what
| they have so steadfastly refused to
grant, the thoughtful men among
| them will conclude there is no hope
| Of victory and that it would be futile
] to longer continue the fight.
A! The strikers and the community at
| large do not share the views of the
operators representatives. Despite the
many dsappointments from unsuc-
cessfu intermedia ations there is a
deep-rooted feeling that something
definite will be accomplished at the
| conference towards an immediate end
| ing of the strike.
One belief is that the president will
succeed in getting the operators to
agree to direct arbitration between
| themselves and their respective en-
ployes after they return to work, and
| that the mine workers will be induced
to call off the strike on these terms.
! With the president of the United States
|acting as a sort of trustee of assur-
! ances that the miners will be given
satisfactory adjustment of their griev-
! ances, it is argued, the miners will be
disposed to quit their fight, and see
! to what extent the operators will make
good their promises, reserving the
right to resume the fight if the oper-
ators' promises are not fulfilled.
| Interest is wholly centered on the
| White house conference and as a con-
| sequence there is little or nothing doing
locally in the strike situation. Unlike
| the two previous days, yesterday was
devoid of claims of gains by either
side. The company officials admitted
| there was no semblance of break in
the strikers ranks vet apparent, and
the strikers headquarters had nothing

lone Thing Thou Lackest"

He who raises up sons or daugh-
tiers and neglects 10 teach them some
vocation by which they can earn an
honest living robs the country of
useful citizens and bequeaths TO it
the material of which paupers,
tramps, criminals and anarchists
are made.
The public schools do an impor-
tant work; but they furnish only a
part of the fundamental education
necessary. From "A 5bread-winning
standpoint, the work of the public
schools and that of the old line
colleges and universities is very
deficient Their work ought to be
supplemented with some good every
day business training, such as q
practical knowledge of single and
double entry bookkeeping. how to
write drafts, notes, contracts, mort
cages, and In short, banking, ordi-
nary business law, plain, rapid
penmanship, typewriting, etc; not
merely copying this from text
books. The school ought to be pro-
vided with actual banks, railroad,
mercantile, commission, real estate,
insurance, shipping Offices, ETC., so
that all students may learn these
things in a practical way by doing
the work itself, and not merely
reading about it or copying from
books. In this way these things
will not be to learn over again when
students leave school and go out to
take charge of any business.
We are often asked If there Is any
school that actually does this, and
our answer is that Tyler College, ct
| Tyler, Texas, comes more nearly
up to this standard than any other
school we know of.
