For four hours they created a reign

used In assaulting the men inside the
stockade. Several of the coal and iron

Before the coal and iron police could
get behind the stockade the savage mob
was on them. Rushing to the houses
near the colliery where the specials
were hiding, the strikers seized the ter

the head with pick handles. Stones
were also used.
The men in the protected colliery

men and they in turn were attacked by
the strikers.
One of the deputies read the riot act

SOFT COAL MEN
THREE HUNDRED THOUSAND MIN
Frs MAY QUIT.
Conference Will BE Held on July II,
at Which Action Will BE Taken
That May Result Disastrously to
Industry in the United States and
Bring on a Climax.

Wilkesbarre, Pa, June 19.-Presi-
dent Mitchell has issued call for a
joint convention of hard and soft coal
miners. A strike of $780, 900 soft coal
men to assist the anthracite men in
their struggle may result. This would
tie up the entire coal industry of the
United States and bring climax to the
strike of anthracite men.
The convention will be held in In
dianapolis. The call was made upon
the acquiescence of five districts of the
United Mine Workers, that number be-
ing necessary to issue such call.
Mitchell says that from all parts OF
the country reports have been received
of sympathy, including even the Pacific
Northwest, where the miners are not at
present affiliated with the mine work
ers of America.
BY a sympathetic strike of the soft
coal miners every industry in the coun-
try would be directly affected. 1t has
been the evident policy of the operators
to allow the strike to drift with the
possibility that the miners organiza.
ton might be broken by long suspen.
sion.
In the meantime the anthracite OF
the country has become exhausted and
supply of soft coal rushed into the
markets. The miners, having played
their last card in the anthracite field
necessarily turned to bituminous men
| for aid.

CAUSES CONCERN
Reported American Concession in
Bolivia Stirs Up Home
Speculation.

London, June 23.-WhO is behind it
Germany or England?-is question
which diplomats are asking regarding
the so-called American concession OF
80 900 square miles in Bolivia.
It is certain there is trouble in store
for any one who may attempt to enforce
this concession. The lands are already
in large part occupied under grants 60
ing back far beyond the existence OF
Bolivia as a republic, and the inhabi-
tants would be considerably astonished
at any newcomers claiming to be the
owners of their property. Bolivia
could not help the concessionaires, for
some years ago when the Bolivian gov
eminent sent troops into rubber
forest to punish one of the great rubber
lords for some alleged offense, the latter
took some of his own men, attacked the
troops, killed some and captured the
others. and put the latter to work as
serfs at the rubber trees. Bolivia is a
very weak country, and Chile, Brazil and
Apentina are all anxious to get a part
of Bolivia territory.
"a concession of this kind" said a
South American, sis both monstrous
and imperative. 1t is just as it the
United States would make gilt OF
Arizona or New Mexico to foreign
corporation without regard to the fact
that those territories are already occu-
pied by large body of property owners
and by settled tribes of Indians who
have sacred right in their heritage
Although Argentina and Chile have as
cordant interests in lower South Amer
;ca they would never permit Bolivia to
deed its independence away In TINS
manner To aliens from other parts OF
the world. Those governments are llo-
eral toward immigration, but they Jeai-
ously guard their soil against foreign
control. Bolivia will never be permit
ted to carry out agreements OF this
kind

RIOTS GALORE.
Paterson Overrun by Strikers and
Sympathizers.


Paterson, N. j., June 19.-The silk
dyers' helpers who have been on a
strike for the past five weeks, divided
into squads and visited all the silk
mills in an endeavor to induce the silk
workers to come out. A riot resulted
at one mill, the windows being smashed,
and other damage done. The police
were called and a fight followed, in
which many shots were exchanged.
One policeman was probably fatally
wounded and stranger shot in the neck.
Preceding the riot 1000 of the strik-
ers held. mass meeting. The squads
visiting the mills numbered about 100
each. The workers were told to come
out before bodily harm was done them.
When they persisted in sticking to
the working rooms the strikers rushed
them turning off the power or breaking
the machinery. In less than an hour
every worker in Paterson with the ex-
ception of those at one mill had quit
work scared by the demonstration. All
efforts to check the onslaught of the
roiters are futile and they hold the mills
in terror. The strikers say that an
attempt to start any mill will result
in fiercer outbreaks than any thus far.
Rioting broke out afresh in the after
noon. Two more men were probably
fatally shot. A mob of the strikers
moved from one mill to another stoning
mills and shooting through windows.
The police armed themselves with
shotguns but were unable to cope with
the mob.

sake, 1t Is to be hoped that this Is true.
No weakling can master the political
situation which confronts Alfonso. The
country Is barely recovering from the
recent war with the United States.
Discomfort and trouble are rampant In
every direction. Political strife Of vari-

In certain provinces socialism rears Its
head, menacing the kingdom with dis
Indignation. In practically all OF them,
labor and social difficulties have reach
ed a degree of intensity bordering cn
revolution. Socialists, anarchists, re-
publicans and Carlists are ready to
seize the first opportunity to overthrow
the reigning dynasty. Darker and more
threatening than 1t has been In over
a century is the political atmosphere in
Spain to-day.
To fit the youth for his royal duties
has been the work Of the Queen Regent
during the past sixteen years. 1t has
been a gloomy epoch. During the time
that Maria Christina has reigned on be-

shreds Of her once worldwide empire
Spanish military prestige has been de-
stroyed and the burden of defeat
weighs heavily upon the proud spirit of
the nation. Yet in the midst of all
these adverse circumstances the Queen
has never for a moment lost sight Of
the great duty of educating her son for
the grave responsibilities Of kingship.
Through sorrow and uncertainty and
in the midst of cruel vicissitudes, she
has never hinched. She has rightfully

ASSISTED FAMILY IN DISTRESS.
Local Society Finds Them In Sore
Distress.

Several days ago the City Council
was requested to assist family in
East Americas, who were reported in
dire need of assistance by reason of
continued illness. The council de-
clined to take any action, and when
the fact was published the Benevolent
Aid Society here went to the aid of
the sick and afflicted ones. The ia .
Their, mother and four little children,
all very i'll, occupied the only two beds
in the house. The kind ladies who
called upon the sick ones employed
a physician, bought provisions, fur
nished third bed that the sick and
afflicted people might be in a manner
comfortable, and have, by their con-
tinued efforts, put this afflicted family
upon the road to recovery. The La
dies Benevolent Aid Society is indeed
noble organization.
