declares that they have lived up to the
letter and spirit Of their contracts and
still refused to violate them, intimateS
that the purpose of the operators is to
destroy the miners union and then
urges the people at large TO bring all
possible pressure to bear on the officers

competent board of arbitration has de-
clared that we are wrong" The report

adopted unanimously, is as follows:
"FirSt-That the national secretary

10, % and %. and that an assessment
of 1 per cent. per week be made OF the
members of districts 2. 5, IL, IA, 10,
16, 20 and q. This assessment is not
to be made against members or unions
now on strike, but in such cases the
assessments are to commence when
the strikes are over. the manner OF
this being arranged by the unions.
"FOurth-The assessments to be
paid direct by the local unions to Sec
retary-Treasurer Wilson.
"Sixth-That the assessments begin
from July 16.' Other provisions are
that all the money is to go to the an

to the Times from Ssllisaw. l. T., says:
One Of the most brutal murders ever
committed in the Indian Territory, took
place few miles east of Stilwell A white
man named Dudley, killed his 10-year-old
daughter fatally wounded two other chill
dren and seriously wounded his wife. Dud-
ley has been taken to Ssllisaw to prevent
his being lynched.
In Jail Dudley confessed the crime He
said he had been talking to his family
about his nelghbors, and fearing that they
would repeat his statements and cause
trouble, ne determined to kill all four. He
said he attempted to kill them on Thurs
day night when he secured an ak and went
first to the bed of his children. They were
asleep and looked so innocent that his
heart failed him. The next day, however,
he carried out his desire, first Draining his
10-year-od daughter with a plow point
then attacking his two other younger chill
dren, and finally his wife. After commit
ting the deed he went to the house Of his
father, where he was arrested yesterday.
Excitement was intense and there came
near being a lynching at Stilwell, before
the officers could get Dudley out OF town.
At Sallisaw, when Dudley was told that
only his oldest daughter was dead, he broke
down and cried, and said his only regret
was that he had not dSratched all of the
family. Mrs. Dudley probably will recover,
but the two children cannot live,
