Of David L. Ryanes, the negro who
brought suit to be registered IN order to
test the suGrage. provisions Of the new

The money for the suit was provided
by negroes by popular subscription, in
the hope OF having declared null and IN

which disfranchIses most Of them.

HUNGER ABIG FACTOR
IN STRIKE SITUATION
Hundreds Of Families IN Dire Need in

MOUNT CARMEL. July 29-The
strike has reached q crisis IN this Vi
cinity
The various Iocals have Distributed
the money in their treasures among
their members md those men who were
members in good Standing before the
strike now have money enough to buy
food for a few hours. TIE men who do
not belong to the uniGl have not yet
received aid and VIII not receive any
until the aid comes from the national
body. Hundreds OF families are in dire
need and unless outside aid is received
very soon the men wiz be forced TO re-
turn to work in order to be able to
obtain food.
The assertion often made By the
leaders that the foreigners would be
able to hold cut the longest would seem
TO be disproved by the fact that Of the
crowds who are daily applying at locals
headquarters for relief fully % per cent
are foreigners.
The EGglish-speaking men are op-
posed TO the proposed plan OF relief
by which the men viii be given store
orders instead Of money. and, while the
leaders are asserting that the strikers
ranks are more solid than ever, there
is no doubt that men are applying for
work every day. The pumps at al the
coIlieTies are running and the old steam
men are. the companies say, gradually
