MILLERS VS.. HENDERSON.
They Propose to Work Against the
Speakers Re- election.

Minneapolis. July 23.-H. S. Ken
GRAFTON of Millers, Tuesday, announced
that the milling interests of the coun-
try are in league to procure the defeat
of Speaker Henderson in his race for
reelection to Congress. The announce
nent was made prior to Mr.. Kennedys
departure for Des Moines to attend a
meeting at which measures to compass
Hcnderson's political defeat will be
discussed.
The resentment of the millers owes
it's genesis to Speaker Hendersons ac-
ton in holding up the London dock
clause. an amendment to the Harter
bill. designed to do away with what
Amer lean exporters regard as unjust
discrimination against United States
-four in the unloading charges at Lon
don.
According to Mr.. Kennedy, Repre-
sentative Loren Fletcher had practi-
cally received assurances of the pas
sage of the amendment and the millers
of the country felt certain their wishes
would be carried out, when Speaker
Henderson suddenly interposed his in
reference and held up the measure.
Mr. Kennedy explains that no funds
will be solicited outside of Iowa to
prosecute the campaign against the
Speaker, but he intimateS that all the
money and means necessary are avail
able in that state.

THE MINERS STRIKE.
Contributions to the Fund Coming in
England Offers Aid.

Indianapolis. Ind. July 23.-President
Mitchell left for Chicago, Wednesday
afternoon. He will stay in that
city day and will then go direct 10
Wilkesbarre to resume active manage
ment of the strike. The national Off
GERS attach a great deal of Importance
to the resolution reported by the COM
mittee appointed by the convention to
draw up an expression in regard to the
recent mine horrors in which so many
of the men lost their lives. In this
resolution attention is called to the
fact that in several instances the men
have been sent back to work in mines
before the dead bodies of their friends
had been removed.
President Mitchell said: 1--WE certain
Nv will make careful investigation OF
these charges. 1t would never do to
condemn any man on unverified re-
ports"
Miners from the Jamestown district
where the worst horror occurred de-
clared emphatically that the men had
been sent back to work there without
the making of any effort to remove all
the bodies first.
Tuesday afternoon, small and large
contributions for the strike fund were
received. Mr.. Mitchell says the national
officers are considering accepting the
offer of the British trades unions
through their federation of financial
aid in the strike.
Indianapolis unions met, Tuesday, ana
resolved to assess members at least L
per cent. per week on their earnings
for the anthracite strikers. This viii
amount to $4,000 per week.

day evening: Have decided to rejoin

was as follows: Washington people are

New York Press: There are few who
believe that New York will have a club

when the fight among the National
League maGnates was at white heat, q
golden opportunity was offered johnson to
get in here, as well as in another Ma
tional League city, but he refused to en-
brace il. It never will come to him again,
and. unless some unforeseen circumstance
arises. the American League will paddle
along without New York in its circuit.
Manager Mickey Finn of the Little Rock
club has received a letter from Secretary
Farrell of the Association of Minor
League Clubs, dated Auburn, n. v, July
the S3utern League together organize
an association and take charge of the
Memphis franchise, placing a club in
Memphis. Farrell said the present Mem
phis team would be expelled at once, and
that Charley Frank would be expelled
forever. Finn did not say what he in
tended to do, but, as he expressed the
Memphis, it is presumed the league will
uphold Farrell. Farrell's action grows
out of Franks playing st. Nrain after
being warned not to do so.
