A SWEEPING INJUNCTION.
Judse Ford, Of Cleveland. Issues One That
Practically Applies to Every Union
Man In the City.

Cleveland, o., Oct. 24.-Judge Ford,
Of the common pleas court, has is
sued an injunction that practically
applies to every union man in the
city. The Walters union some time
since began a boycott against a nom

tanned an injunction against them
The Bridge Workers union then took
up the fight and the proprietor ap-
piled for an injunction against all
members of the United Trades and
Labor council, with the result that
Judge Ford granted a temporary re-
straining order.
The sweeping injunction issued by
Judge Ford has caused a sensation
in labor circles and it is probable that
the case will be bitterly fought in the
higher courts.

the testimony relative to the letters,

MINING OPERATIONS.
Much More Coal Got Out Yesterday
Than on Previous Day.
HON.UyIOy MEN BEING FROZEN OUT.
Mine Inspectors Refusing Permits to Start
Up Unless Proof BE Given That Under
ground workings Are Safe Mitchell
Arranging Evidence.

Wilkesbarre, Pa, Oct. 25.-There
were 20 more mines in operation in
the anthracite region yesterday than
Thursday and the outpat will be
close to 100000 tons. This is as near
as can be estimated. From reports
received the total output Thursday
did not exceed $4,000 tons. When
in full operation the mines employ in
every capacity about 145,ooo men and
boys. OF this number it is estimated
that $4,000 were at work yesterday.
A more amicable feeling prevailed
yesterday between employer and en-
ploye than Thursday. The excite
ment over the commencement OF
work wore of somewhat yesterday
and there was more work and less
talk. The non-union men, despite
what may be said to the contrary,
are slowly being displaced in many
Of the mines and the old employees
are taking their places.
The Lsckawanna company contin-
pes to lead In production. There
are two reasons for this. First. the
mines ara IN good condition and there
il less friction between the district
superintendent and the men who
have returned to work. The work
Of clearing up those mines that are
filed with debris from falls Ia being
pushed forward as rapidly as possl'
BILE and the fact that they are not
in readiness to open is q great dis
appointment to the mine owners.
The mine inspectors are vigilant and
they have refused to give permits
to the starting up of mines where
the superintendent cannot furnish
satisfactory proof that the under
ground workings r perfectly safe.
President Mitchell continues reti-
cent and refuses to be quoted on any
move made by the operators, either
regarding the treatment of the old
employees or the advanced price OF
coal. The evidence which he will pre-
sent to the arbitration commission
is now being arranged In systematic
form.
Non-Unlog Workers DISAPPEARING
Scranton, Pa, Oct. 25.-All OF the
mining companies in this region re-
ported yesterday that large additions
were made to their working forces.
The imported workman was a de-
cidedely minus quantity yesterday.
Superintendent Rose, Of the Della
ware g. Hudson company, which OPP
crates 80 plants, said he did not
know of a single import still in
the %company's employee. Other SUI
p%erintendents said very few re-
NAMED. The companies are not dis
missing any non-union men, hut the
most careful inquiry fails to disclose
a single instance of strenuous effort
on the part of any company to force
an import" to remain in the COM
pany's employ.
The fact that the imported men
| have quit the coal regions made pos
| sible the order of Gov. Stone, direct
ing that the soldiers be withdrawn
"as fast as the conditions would per-
nit" The sheriff had had interviews
with coal company superintedents

ion that troops would not be needed

sin Crop Is Injured.

Washington Sept. 1.-THE agricul-
tural department Tuesday issued the
following weekly crop summary:
1.-The week ending September IS was
unusually cool throughout all districts
east of the Rocky mountains, more
particularly in the lake region, central
valleys and gulf states. with general
absence of rain, or only slight precip-
itation in the greater part of the area
west of the Mississippi river, although
heavy rains occurred in portions of
Arkansas and Louisiana. Needed rains
fell in the Ohio Valley. lake region and
middle and South Atlantic states, eff
fectually relieving the drought condi-
tions in those districts.
'More or less damaging frosts oc-
Cured on the 18th, 18th and. 14th,
throughout the northwest, central
valleys and lake region and as far
portion of Mississippi, Alabama and
Georgia. The north Pacific coast
states continue to need rain, but in
other respects the conditions on the
Pacific coast were favorable.
Late corn has been seriously dam
aged by heavy frosts over the northern
, portion of the corn belt, more especial
ly to the westward of the Mississippi
river, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Missouri,
and Kansas escaped injury, except in
the northern portion where late corn
was damaged. In Iowa. northern Ne
braska, the Dakotas, Minnesota and
Wisconsin early corn has been serious
ly injured 1t is estimated that more
than one-half of the crop in Iowa and
South Dakota was too far advanced to
be seriously hurt, but the bulk of the
remainder has been badly damaged.
"Much corn has been cut over the
southern portion of the corn belt,
where fine crop is assured.
"The progress made with blowing
for fall seeding has been very satisfac-
1 tory throughout the central valleys,
! and considerable winter wheat has
been sown in Missouri, Kansas and Ne
braska. This work, has. however,
been much delayed in the interior por-
, tions of the middle Atlantic states,
and in parts of Tennessee, Oklahoma

Gompers, of the American Federation
of Labor, and National President
Mitchell and National Treasurer Will
son, of the United Mine Workers, to-
gether with the district presidents of
the same organization in the anthra-

the only one who would speak regard
ing the deliberations. He said the
strike situation was discussed in all it's
phases; the finances were found to be
in a good condition; the relief funds,
were coming in promptly, and there
was no reason why the strike should
not continue without inficting any
hardship on the strikers.
Mr.. Gompers was asked whether it
was proposed to levy an extra assess

Oyster Bay, N. Y, Sept. 17.-Sena-

rich and Lodge and Postmaster Cen
eral Payne spent several hours with
President Roosevelt Tuesday and dis
cusseG with him the entire political
situation, having special reference to
the conditions in the western states
which the president is to visit on his
approaching trip. The parties to the
conference were very reticent after
they returned from Sycamore Hill,
but it can be stated ON reliable au-
thority that ii was decided to make
no attempt to revise the tariff at the
coming session of congress; that the
president is to maintain his position
as to the trusts, and further, that
ne is to insist in his demand for re-
that he will fully outline his policy
regarding this latter question in
some of the speeches he is to make
on his western trip. 1t also can be
stated on excellent authority that
The coal strike was not discussed.
1t was agreed by all that there will
be no adherence to the theory that the
tariff can be or should be reduced
merely because certain articles were
produced by trusts or monopolies. The
effort will be made at all times to keep
the tariff and the trusts as separate
questions to be dealt with on their
merits. The plea will be made and in
sisted upon that any revision or read
,iustment of the tariff should be made
by the friends of protection and not
by free traders, and the country will
be appealed to not to ieopardize exist
ing prosperity by turning the tariff
over to it's enemies.
Purpose of the Conference.
The presidents purpose in having
this conference was to ascertain if
there had been any marked political
changes in the different sections of
the country during the past year.
The conference Tuesday, it is said,
showed that there had been none.
"'rhr conference was entirely hur-
monious." said one of the gentlemen
who participated in ii. but who de-
clinrl his name To he published. "No
difference of opinions developed and
the presidents position on the diff
frrrnt questions discussed was en-

political situation, especially that in

dent is To pass. The coal strike was

APPEAL TO GOVERNMENT.
Colorado md Wyoming Seek Aid i'm
Fighting the Terrible Forest
Fires Now Raging.

Washington, Sept. 17.-secretary
Hitchcock Tuesday received Dispatch
es from the governors of both Colo
RADIO and Wyoming, appealing for gov
eminent assistance in fighting a ter
rifle forest fire that is raging in gov
eminent timber lands along the Colo
rado-Wyoming boundary line, near
the southeast corner of Carbon coun-
ty, Wyo. The residents of that sec
ton, according to Gov. Richards, of
Wyoming, have exhausted both
strength and means in fighting the con-
migration and are appealing for help.
The interior department officials
are looking into the situation and call
ing for more specific information from
the field. Every effort will be made to
do something to reinforce the re-
sources of the fire fighters, but it is
not yet known what steps will be
taken. 1t is possible that the war de-
partment will be called upon for as
sistance, though no such request has
yet been made.
In response to the kilograms from
the governors of Wyoming and Colo
RADIO the secretary of the interior has
ordered Forest Superintendent Gar
butt. of Wyoming, to assist Supervisor
Atherly, of the Grow Creek reserve, in
fighting the fire reported burning near
Pearl. just south of the Medicine Bow
forest reserve. They will employ a
large number of men to assist in the
work. This is the only action the de-
partment can take. No request will be
made of the war department for assist
