Strike Firm as Ever.
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Aug. 16.-"The
strike in the anthracite region is firm az
the everlasting hills. Confidence and quiet
reign supreme"
Such is the strike synopsis of the sItu-
alton in the anthracite field, as published
In this weeks issue Of the Mine wnrkArs'
Journal, the Official organ of the United
Mine Workers of America. The fourteenth
week OF the strike has closed and the man.
ayers declare that the strikers, are stronger
than when the strike was declared.
The fact that IFS, 900 men remain on
strike for that period" said w. b. Wilson.
secretary-treasurer, today. without q Sign
OF a break In the ranks, is the strongest
argument that ! know Of In favor Of the
Justice OF their claims. If even a portion
OF that number had been receiving ,exen
living wages before the strike 1t would be
next to impossible to keep them from re-
turning to work.
While the strikers are being cared To-,
In the best possible manner, there is moth
Ing In the provision made which would
make a man prefer to live In idleness IL IL
were possible to earn q living in the
mines"
wilson says there is no fixed arrange
ment Tor the distribution Of the money and
supplies which are provided by the national
organization. The census bureau SAYS the
average family consists Of FIVE members
and on this basis the miners organization
is caring for $4,000 men. women and chill
dren.
Il do not believe there is any way to
whip the striking miners unless IL ia 70
starve them out" Wilson said. "And I do
not see any very grave danger Of that COM
ing to pass"
Large sums are received daily by Wilson
for the strikers fund. This is all sent 10
the strike region as rapidly as received.
CLARksBURG. W. Va, Aug. 16.-With
the signing Of the scale by the Merchants
Coal company Of Tunnelton 1t is thought
that the miners strike in this district has
to an end. The miners gained all they
asked for.

.CRlTlCISING THE ADMIRALTY
Claim Made hat Transports Return
Ing from Capetown with Troops
Are Overloaded.

LONDON, Aug. 1.-THE admiralty Is
coming In for scathing criticism on account
OF the overcrOwding of transports. Re-
turning colonial troops from Capetown on
the steamer Brittanic and Drayton Grange,
going to Australia, were devastated with
measles, pneumonia and pleurisy. The
stories of filthy quarters and inadequate
medicine and food rival anything charged
in connection with the fever ships which
arrived at Camp Wykoff, Montauk Point,
L. l.. after the war with Spain.
Official statements from the admiralty all
deny overcrowding, but the fact remains
that after indignant protests from AuL-
tralia the transport Aurania, then on the
eve Of sailing from Capetown, before pro-
ceeding disembarked $40 officers and men,
thus admitting that the ship was crowded
to this extent.
Even more serious from a national point
Of view than the transport, remount and
commissary scandals is the problem of
caring for the hordes Of discharged soldiers
now clamoring for employment, There is
no question but the various relief organi-
cations accomplished a vast amount Of good
throughout the war and they are still doing
so. They disbursed literally millions Of
pounds sterling in aid Of widows, orphans
and invalids. but now the warehouses; of
the United Kingdom are filled with time
expired men and In all the big towns masses
Of volunteers and reservists are vainIy
seeking fresh situations In place OF those
their employers promised to hold open
till after the war, but who did not do so.
Strangely enough, while the cities are
giptted With men out of employment, the
farmers in all sections Of the country are
reported to be lamenting the wearth OF
.heldhands.

pulsion from the supreme lodge, on the
ground that Hinsey violated bis obligation
as a Pythian when he e%njoined the grand
tribunal of Illinois from trying the case,
and scandalized a number of members Of
the supreme lodge in his complaint. Other
supreme Representatives, speaking to the
resolution, demanded that even more dras-
tic measures be taken. Supreme Represent
alive Ben F. Salinger Of Iowa and John G.
Burns Of Ohio opposed the resolution.
At noon a compromise was reached, that
Hinsey should be suspended from the grand
lodge until his case shall have been finally
disposed Of by the. grand tribunal OF I'LL
nois. The vote to suspend Hinsey was III
ayes and u nays. The session then ad-
journed until Monday morning.

The Referendum in Oregon.

The state of Oregon recognizes the
unconstitutionality of the referendum
by an amendment to the state cOnsti-
tuition. which was adopted at the re
cent state election, applying the mi
tiative and referendum to state legisla-
ton. According to the provisions of
this amendment, whenever eight per
cent. of the voters of the state shall
petition for the passage of specific
piece of legislation, it must be sub
mitted to the popular vote, and shall
bee )me a law if approved by major
ity of those voting on the proposition.
An enactment by the Legislature may
be referred to the popular vote for APP
proval by the Legislature enacting it,
and must be whenever five per cent. of
the legal voters of the state shall petit
ton for such referendum, and the law
by majority of those voting on it.
The governors veto power does not eX-
tend to measures submitted to the
people under the initiative and refer
endum. 1t remains to be seen to what
extent the people of Oregon will take
advantage of the opportunity thus of
fered them to secure legislation to their
liking. 1t is beyond question that the
initiative and referendum is a method
with large possibilities for good, hav-
ing the effect. as it does in operation,
of giving the people more direct power
in legislation than any other law max
ing system ever devised and freeing
them absolutely from the dictation and
influences of cliques, factions and
bosses. In brief, it is designed to make
"a government of the people, more of
a reality than ever before.
