SOME MORE RAILWAY STRIKING
Car Men the Union Pacific Go Out I'm
expectedly.


Omaha, Neb., Aug. 1.-TWO hun
dred car men, including carpenters,
coach builders and painters, employed
in the Union Pacific shops. unexpect-
edly went on strike yesterday. The
strike is Il protest against the piece
work system. and the leaders say that
all the car men on the system will be
asked TO quit work.
Some time ago the car men con-
cluded an agreement with the Union
Pacific road which included what WAS
known as tn premium scale and
which put the men on a piece basis.
The understanding was that no man
was TO receive less than his time
would amount TO ut the regular hour
wage scale. and the men were to have
premiums for extra work accomplished
over Il certain amount. The agree
meent created dissatisfaction and in
ternal friction in the car mems union
and the strike is the result.
The company officials say they en-
tered into the contract with the car
men in good faith on July for a
period of twelve months. and that the
strike is clear violation of contract.

Attempts to Find Out Whether the saloons
Were Closed sunday.
Alexandria, Ind, Aug. 20.-A small
riot resulted Sunday from the attempt
of half dozen members of the Law
and Order League to ascertain wheth-
er or not saloons were obeying the law
in the matter Of Sunday closing.
While at the intersection of two al
leys in the principal part of the city,
and at which corner a saloon is To-
Gated, they were approached by a
party of saloon men, bartenders and
followers, and after a few words a
fight was on.
With odds of almost twenty to one
the anti-salOOn men defended them
selves, but some of them were pain
fully beaten. The police, who have
been accused of failing TO enforce the
laws, took no hand in the melee. The
Law and Order League has a member
ship of 1000 in the county, with
branch leagues all over the gas belt.
and this force will be brought to bear
to have the liquor laws obeyed, not
only in Alexandria, but everywhere a
league exists.

IN THE wARNKE wAsHERY CASE
Judge Tells the Sheriff He Must Protect
the Works.


Wilkesbarre. Pa. Aug. 19-The
twenty-four deputies who were arrest
ed by the authorities of Duryea last
week for feloniously wounding and in
citing a riot were given a hearing be-
fore Judge Halsey yesterday and all
but three discharged. The three held
were placed under $500 bail each.
Judge Halsey said the sheriff would
have to protect the property of
Warnke, the owner of the Warnke
washery; the law required such protec-
tion.
A large number of witnesses was
examined and the testimony was con-
flicting. The attorneys for the defense
said it was a travesty on justice to
arrest the officers and Jail them for
doing their duty. Frederick Warnke,
the owner Of the washery where the
riot occurred. says the acquittal of
the deputies will justify him in start
ing up the washery again. and he has
served notice on Sheriff Jacobs that IL
he does not provide ample protection
for his workmen and property on
Wednesday he will make an appeal
to the governor for troops.
The beginning of the fifteenth week
of the strike shows no apparent change
in the situation 1t was thought that
the Lehigh Valley company would
start its Maltby colliery yesterday, and
early yesterday morning a number of
strikers gathered in the vicinity of the
mine. but no effort was made to re-
sumo work.
Judge Halsey has received q postal
card from Washington, d. c. The
writer signs himself Herman Mueller,
United States minister of war and
marshal" Mueller threatens to send
United States troops into the strike
region. and he will not remove them
until the United States arbitration law
is obeyed.
