Bad Man Younger suueIched.

There was a fellow out in the town
in Missouri where once lived named Jim
Younger. a cousin of the celebrated out
law Cole Younger" remarked Judge NJ.
o. Ingraham. ~ the E5bitt
This gentleman was inclined to affect
the desperate somewhat and he relied a
bit on his kinship to the redoubtable Cole
TO intimidate unwarlike people. He man
aged to impress a good many with the
notion that he was a bad man, and cut a
pretty wide swath locally until little
Dutchman, proprietor of a beer saloon,
called him down so hard and with such
effect that he became an object of ridl-
Guile. and had 10 seek fresh pastures.
"One evening, with three or four of his
admirers he strclled in to Schoppauls
place and with a swagger ordered him TO
set out the liquor and do it pretty d-n
quick.
'Schop' as we called him. looked the
bad man squarely in the eye and said:

For answer. the pluCky little dealer
duclled his head under the counter for a

threw straight down on his man.

MIR. spooner's Fight 1. to n Finish.


There is the hottest sort of fight go
ing on out our way between the partisans
of Governor La Foliett and Senator John
C. Spooner," remarked Mr.. NJ. NJ. Doak,
of Milwaukee, at the Shorehan
Senator Spooner is recognized as an
exceedingly able man. and the State is
proud of him. but in some minor matters
ne has exhibited a certain amount OF neg
ligence and apparent lack OF considera-
ton which has aroused considerable re
sentiment against him in some quarters.
THE Times had an account of a recent
dinner given in Washington at which a
number of the Wisconsin Congressional
delegation were present and in the course
OF which a heated argument arose. The
account, so far as 1t went, was correct
but there was a GOOD deal more which did
not get into print and which would have
made uncommonly interesting reading
The controversy was along the lines OF the
battle between the Governor and the Sen
ator, and it waXed TO fierce glow ere it
ended. In my opinion the contest will be
to a finish, and the man that gets downed
will be so completely Knocked out that
there will be no political resurrection for
him."

CALLS IT AN INSULT.
Samuel Gompers Discusses Offer of
the Mine Operators.

Washington Oct. 15.-President Comp
ers of the American Federation of La
Dor, with whom Mr. Mitchell has been
in constant communication and consul
tation, declined all requests of news
papers for expression of opinion on
the proposition of the coal operators, but
to the Associated Press Mr.. Gompers
said:
You can readily understand that
want to leave this whole matter in the
hands of Mr.. Mitchell and his colleagues.
am particularly anxious not to say
anything that might be construed other
wise. l will say that in my opinion the
proposition made by the operators, a
least so far as their designation of who
should be invited to go on the commits
SIGN of arbitration is concerned, is an
insult to the president of the United
States. I desire that the president
should use his discretion in the selection
of the personnel of the commission. By
ndirection it would seem from the oper-
ators' proposition that the president has
evil designs on the mine owners.
mo one believes this The operators
indicate what class of men should be
selected for the personnel of the com
mission. For instance, they say that
an expert mining engineer experienced
in the mining of Goa, and other minerals
and not in any way connected with coal
mining properties shall be one of the
members In other words, this one must
be an expert miner out of a job. This
member must either have BEEN employed
in the mines as an expert or must ex-
pect or hope to be employed in the fu-
ture as an expert Another must be an
eminent sociologist. Well. who? Must
he be a speculative sociologist, the
orist. or what?
Another member is to be some man ac-
lively participating in the mining and SELL
ing of the coal and familiar with the COM
mercial as well as the physical part Of
the business This must certainly be one
of the operators of their repreScn-
tatives- No other man familiar with the
commercial features of the business in
those fields fits that description.
In the classes of persons from whom
the mine owners prescribe the commission
shall be selected there is to be not a single
representative of the man who digs coal,
the man who works in and about the
mine.
Now. as a matter of fact, the entire
question of the selection and appointment
of a commission should be left to the pres
ident of the United States. NJ Mitchell
has said that he will be perfectly satisfied
with whomeNer the president selects. If
the mine owners are to be permitted 10
suggest who shall constitute the arbitra-
ton commission. why, in all fairness
should it not follow that Mr. Mitchell
should likewise be permitted to make sug-
gestions as to the personnel of the COM
mission? 1 hope that the president will de-
cline to act on this proposition of the mine
owners unless he is given free hand

fare of the mine workers, who have
been on strike for the past five months.
formal statement defining our posi-
ton and intentions Viii be issued just
as soon as we are in possession of the
full meaning of the proposition of the
operators"
This statement was made by him
after a silence lasting all day. He had
no intention of making it until the cor
respondents representing newspapers all
over the country called on him in a
body and informed him that the general
public desired to have an answer to the
proposition of the operators. After Civ
ing it he was asked many questions re-
garding the attitude of the men and the
probability Of the acceptance or rejec-
ton of the new offer, but he had no re-
ply to make to any of these questions.
He denied. that he had any knowledge
was until it became public property,
and also denied that he was in tele-
phcnic communication with President
Roosevelt. His attention was called to
the fact that most of the information
from Washington indicated that the
proposition would be accepted and that
the strike was near an end, but he
stoutly maintained that neither his Of
ficers nor the rank and file of the men
had done anything to cause such an i'm
preston to go out.
The district presidents also maintain
silence as to their personal opinion on
Fahy after he arrived from Boston gave
an linking as to how he viewed the new
turn of affairs. In reply to a query he
said:
THE strike cannot be settled without
the consent of the men. We are not
dealing in gold bricks of any kind and
you can make any deductions from this
that you want"
There will be a conference between Mr.
Mitchell, the three district presidents and
Secretary Treasurer Wilson. When Mr.
Mitchell asked if he and the district
officers had power to end the strike he
said that it is a rule of the organization
that 10 settlement can be made by the
officers of the union without the consent
of delegate convention. 1t is practically
certain that Mr.. A1itcheHs advice will
be followed in the conference. While he
has not said a word as to what he will
do. it is freely predicted by those who
understood the situation that he will adj
wise a refusal of the proposition.
The rank and file view the new proposal
in different lights. Those who are op-
posed to accepting the new offer, look
upon the operators latest move as coun-
ter proposition to Mr.. Mitchells offer to
arbitrate made in the temporary White
House at Washington. They compare the
two offers and pick out what they allege
to be many flaws. Their greatest objection
to it is that the operators dictate to the
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1902-10-15

president from what class of men he shall
select the arbitrator and they charge the
operators with lack of faith in the presi-
dent when they do not give him free
hand to pick the men he wants Another
objection to it is that the president is
limited to four men in selecting the jurist
on the commission. Neither are they sure,
they said, that labor would be represented,
because the proposal does not specifically
say so, and they add that they have no
assurance that "a man of prominence,
eminent as seciologist," would cover this
objection.
A great many of the strikers think the
proposition should be accepted and that
the miners should trust to President
Roosevelt to do the best he can under the
circumstances laid down by the coal road
presidents. An argument was made by
one miner that Mr.. Mitchell could not well
already offering to permit the president
to select the members of the commission.
He thought the president would appreciate
the trust put in him and see that the
miners had fair play. Others in the same
class thought that not much harm could
be done by accepting the proposition, but
in the end much good will result There
is still third view held by miners, and
that is to refuse to accept the plan offered
and make a counter proposition embOdy-
ing some of the suggestions contained in
the operators offer One proposition sug-
gested was that the operators, the miners
and the president each select number of
men to act as board This was men
toned to President Mitchell but he would
make no comment on it.
The arbitration talk has acted as a
check on the movement of men returning
to work. The prospect for a coal supply
to meet the rapidly approaching cold
weather is by means bright. If the
miners should accept the arbitration plan
of the presidents it would take at least
two weeks before the details of sending
them back could be worked out. AS the
outlook for arbitration is rather dark, it
can safely be said that there will be little
more coal on the market for some time
than there is at present.
1t has Developed here that Nathan
Strauss of New York. with the assistance
of J. P. Morgan, has been endeayoring for
the past few days to end the strike. Mr.
Strauss was represented here by A. L.
Kinkaid, Sylvester. Burns and w. l. VIII
mer, of New York. Mr.. Strauss had re-
ceived the assurance from NJ. Morgan
that if the men would return to work that
be CIR. Morgan) would see that justice
was done the miners, but he did not care
to have anything to do with the union.
The proposition was laid before Mr..
Mitchell and he refused it on the ground
that he would not advise the men to re-
turn to work on the hope that Mr. Morgan
would do something for them.
