Reiif swore out warrants today for
the arrest of ten strikers at Williams
town for melting to riot and interfer-

non.union men going to and from
work in the mines at Lykens and Will

alton in the region is critical and if
there is another outbreak like that Of

puties were assaulted while protecting
non-union miners, he will call upon

PREPARE TO FIGHT
The Miners are Talking of a Defense
Fund

Wilkesbarre, Pa, July 8.-A ma
tional defense fund, to which all Or
ganized labor aud the public In gen.
eral will be asked to contribute is the
latest proposition placed on foot to
help the striking anthracite coal
miners If they need assistance in their
struggle for higher wages and short-
er work day Harry White, Of New
York, secretary Of the National Gar
ment Workers, and member OF the
conciliation committee OF the Ma
tional Civic Federation, had long
conference with President Mitchell to-
day, during which the plan was ap-
proved by the miners chief and Mr..
White will at once begin preparations
to carry out the plan. President Mitch
ell wants 1t understood, however, that
the miners union will accept no aid
until their own resources are ex-
hausted.
Mr.. White came here authorized by
several labor or,organizations to place
the proposition before President
Mitchell. After the conference, Presi-
dent Mitchell had nothing to say
about the matter beyond the brief
statement that he approved the plan
Mr.. White gave out the following
statement
President Mitchell'wi accept the
n1 h.. III l.,
rendered by labor organizations of the
country and others, but WITH the un-
derstanding that it is to be used only
when their own funds become exhaust
ed, which will not be for some time.
Mr.. Mitchell says that, before solicit
ing outside support. the miners at
work must set the example themselves
by contributing a considerable por-
tion OF their earnings to sustain their
fellow members in the hard coal fields
who are lighting their common battle.
This will be determined upon at the
indianapolis convention. MIR. Mitchell
also welcomed the aid rendered by men
of means and influence outside the
ranks of organiz zed labor.
Efforts will also be made to origin
ate a movement throughout the coun-
try, so that the unions and others may
be prepared to collect funds when the
time is propitous,
Public men will also undertake an
Independent movement and solicit
subscriptions from those not connect
ed with labor organizations. This
movement will be inaugurated in New
York city, and the labor organization
sympathizers in all the principal cities
of the country will be called on to APP
point committees to carry on similar
work.
"All friendly newspapers will be
asked to cooperate. The scheme, in
brief contemplates the concentration
of the energy and resources of organ
lied labor in behalf OF the miners
cause, result which haslneyer before
been achieved. 1t involves the rails
ing of given amount of money each
week, with which provisions and other
necessaries of life will be purchased.
The plan.has the approval of Presi-
dent Samuel Gompers, and it will be
placed before the executive council Of
the American Federation of Labor for
indorsemenJ at its sessions, which
open in San Francisco next week

TRACKS STILL SUBMERGED.
No Prospects for Immediate Raising
Of N. p. Blockade.

No matter what the prospects may
have been when the trouble first be-
gam, the officials o. the Northern Pa
cific have evidently come to the con-
clusion that there is no immediate re-
lief in sight from the annoyances and
delays incident to the floods in North
Dakota. This was made evident by
the messages received here yesterday
by the agent Of the company in regard
to train services.
Ever since the blockade began the
company has made an effort to accom-
modate the class of travellers who pre-
fer to ride on the through trains and
escape the inconvenience incident to
travel on the local trains, those that
stop at every station, and also keep
up it's schedules on the western d.
visions. To do this Nos. II and ~,
known respectively as the Portland"
and Twin. City" express trains, have
been run between Butte and the coast
cities. At Butte connections we're
made with the Great Northern, pas
sengers being transferred at that
point, both east and westbound.
Yesterday Agent Hoyt received a
telegraphic notice from headquarters
that until further notice those trains
would be abandoned, meaning that for
the present only. n train would be
run each way daily. Westbound the
train will run between the Twin
Cities as far as the place Of inter-
ruption and passengers and mail will
be transferred onto the one from the
west, which then will turn and come
back. P%erishable freight will continue
to be sent via the Great Northern and
Burlington routes, az the facilities for
transferring are not such as to make
possible the handling of bulky or
weighty matter.
Another dispatch stated that No. 8,
the w%estbound local, would leave Man
dan about four hours late and possibly
would have on board through passen-
gers and mail, showing that while
trains have been running on either
side OF the break, they have been car
rying only local passengers and mail.
A few through passengers from the
east arrived in the city yesterday,
having braved the discomforts Of q
transfer at the point Of the break.
Only the urgent nature Of their bust
ness caused them to come ON. They
confirm the telegraphic reports sent
out-from Dakota towns in the vicinity
of the washout that very few can be
found who are willing to be ferried
across the miniature sea in the skiffs
the company has there and say that q
majority of the passengers prefer to
wait or take advantage of the choice
offered of being transferred to the
Great Northern.
When the water will subside suf-
ficiently to make a resumption Of
through traffic possible seems hard
to tell. 1t is believed, however. that
by the end Of the present week the
floods will have receded to such an
extent that trains can again cross
without danger.

pletion Of the North River tunnel It is TO have
two tracks. one for eastbound and the other for
