ADOPTS RESOLUTIONS
ADDRESSES BY MIR. SAMUEL
GOMPERS AND DIR. KENT.
Congress Asked to Cause a Thorough
Investigation Of Conditions in
Anthracite Regions.
ADOPTS RESOLUTIONS

A fair-siZed audience composed the meet
ing held last evening at Typographical Tenn
pie In the interest of the striking miners in
the anthracite coal fields Of Pennsylvania
Resolutions strongly expressing sympathy
with the strikers were adopted, and num-
Der of addresses were made by well-known
speakers Mr.. John Hamerstrom, president
of the Central Labor Union, was chairman,
and after stating the purpose of the meet
ing, he introduced the first speaker Mr..
Samuel Gompers, president of the American
Federation of Labor, who detailed the con-
ditions which prevailed in the mining, re-
gons previous to the organization OF the
mine workers. In speaking of this condition
Mr.. Gompers said:
up to 1873 the condition of the work.
men in this section of the great industrial
world was fairly good They received good
wages, their work was that of skilled la
borers, and they and their families were
fairly we'll off in this worlds goods. The
conditions at that time, or prior to that
time, were good, and there was a stimu-
LUIS to honest toll. During the panic of 1873,
however, the operators began a systematic
and well-planned movement to undermine
and deteriorate the conditions of their men,
They began the process by sending agents
10 foreign countries whose business it was
to induce men In the rural districts of the
southern European countries to migrate to
America
These foreigners were brought here in
great numbers and were taken Immediately
TO the coal mines by the agents who had in
duced them to leave their homes Once in
the mining district hundreds of these crea-
lures We're herded together in great barn
ike structures. They lost their Identity
completely. Their employers did not know
thelr names and they were given numbers
to distinguish them one from the other.
They were compelled to live in these houses
and were made to pay an exorbitant rate
IN rent Some Of them were furnished
meals in the company houses. and others
We're compelled to get their food at one or
more of the boarding houses owned by the
company.

Birmingham, Ala, April IA dis
patch from Tuscumbia, Ala, says:
Three men are dead, three mort
slightly wounded and four seriously
wounded as tbs result of Sheriff Cas-
saway attempting to arrest Will Reyn
olds, desperate negro.
The dead are: Hugh Jones, shot
through the head; Bob Wallace, Will
Reynolds.
Fatally wounded: Sheriff Charles
Cassaway. shot through arm and alb
domen; Will Cassaway, shot through
abdomen; P. A. Proul, shot through
stomach.
Seriously wounded: - Payne,
shot through the chest; Jim Finney,
shot through the right shoulder; Rob-
ert Patterson, shot through the leg;
Jesse Davis, shot through the jaw.
All the foregoing casualties except
the death of Reynolds himself are the
result of the deadly fire of Reynolds
with 45-calibre Winchester. The
negro was in turn riddled and thrown
into fire.
Sunday morning at IL o'clock Sher-
iff Cassaway went to negro settle
ment, "Kardstown," to arrest VIII
Reynolds for obtaining merchandise
under false pretenses. The officer was
met by the negro, who opened fire
with Winchester, wounding the sher-
If and Immediately fred upon the
deputy, Will Cassaway, who was some
300 yards away, MORALLY wounding
him.
AS soon as possible, every man In
town who could procure gun was in
the neighborhood, but owing to the
location none dared to venture within
the open space. Dynamite was pro-
cured and the house in which the
negro was barricaded was fired upon
but to no effect. At o'clock, Captain
Simpson of the Wheeler rifles arrived |
with IL guns and 1000 cartridges |
which were distributed among twelve
picked men. The company was sta
toned around the house and riddled |
It, but the negro had taken refuge in
the cellar and returned the fire, killing
tones and wounding Finney. Coal oil
was then procured, and after four
hours OF hard work, the houses ad-
oining that in which the negro was
coated were fired. About 8 o'clock
he house in which the negro was To-
lated was fired by the Wheeler rifles,
Who had arrived on the scene.
The negro took refuge in shed and
opened fire, killing Wallace and
Davis, but the people and
ome militiamen riddled the negro,
md the crowd, numbering 1000 people,
grabbed the body and threw it into
he burning building. Wallace, who
vas killed, was closing in on the ne
,ro who shot him through the body.
His body fell in the burning debris,
nut was recovered. Davis. Wallace
md Falkner were the men who fired
he building.
Relic seekers cut off the negroes
myers and such parts of the body as
ould be procured.
Three houses were burned in the
fort to reach the negro.
Several horses we're killed in the
attic. 1t is rumored that the sheriff
nd his brother can not live. So dead
was the negro's aim that it was pos
IDLY an hour before the body of Proul
ould be recovered. Not a shot fired
y Reynolds failed to count when
hose he was firing upon could be
lainly seen by him. The excitement
oday was intense, but there is no fear
an uprising among the negroes. Full
5000 people from Florence and Shelf
cid were here and every surgeon in
he two towns was pressed into SER
Ice.

We are asked to say something about
the dishonest scotsman and incidental
" something also about the religious
periodical which will carry his adver-
tisement, the complaint as made to US
being that these seedsmen send out
seed not true to name or which has
lost its vitality, and the purchaser, see
ing their advertisements in a religious
paper, is not looking for this sort Of
thing. In the purchase Of trees and
seeds Of all kinds it is always best to
buy Of some firm near home or at
least at one Of established reputation
if far off. Editors Of religious publ
cations never take any more trouble
and often not so much to keep their
advertising columns free from fraud
as does the purely secular press, some
1 Of the worst fakes going securing
choice positions next to reports Of re-
vlval meetings and the work Of the
churches. Because an advertisement
appears in a religious paper or maya
zine it never should be assumed that
the statements made or the goods OF
fered are in any manner sanctifeC
thereby, the very same caution being
needed as is common when one trades
horses with a person who likes a fas
horse.
