MOB ASSAULTS STATION.
BEATS COUNTY OFFICERS.
Virginia Democrats Proceed to
Break Up Fusion.
[BY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRruvNE.!

Norfolk. Va, Dec. S-A mob OF seventy-five
white 'straightout" Democrats, armed with re-
volvers and shotguns, tonight attacked County
Clerk Alvah H. Martin and County Treasurer
Lyons, Fusionists, in the police station in Berk-
ley, Norfolk County Martin and Lyons were
terribly beaten. and would probably have met
death except for the police, who rushed the men
through a side door TO their homes Twenty ne
groes who were on an upper floor of the office
of Lyons Ieaped to the ground when they heard
the mob approaching. and escaped in the dark
ness Many shots were fired but no one ap-
pears 10 have been struck. There are numerous
warrants out for alleged participants in the at
tack but the police decline TO make the names
public before the arrests take place.
The roting was the elimination of fierce fight
that has teen waged in lhe county between the
Straightouts and Fusionists At the recent cleo
ton for county offices. including magistrates.
the Straightouts declared that they had been
robbed in the most brazen manner. Negro
magistrates were elected over the whites. and
many Fusionists got Offices There is now a
contest for the seats before the State legislature
Feeling between the factions has run nigh
since the campaign opened. but the attack OF
tonight was not anticipated by Martin and
Lyons Martin has been the leader Of The fu-
sion forces. and has apparently controlled the
votes The Straightouts have all along alleged
that Martin and his followers voted dead men
and disfranchised blacks.
Martin, it was alleged, was taking the taxes
of the negroes tonight, SO that they could vote
at the elections next spring. IL was claimed
that negroes who were disfranchisel by the new
constitution were assessed that they could
vote. and the white StraightOuJs prepared 10
stop this
When the mob arrived Lyons made his way 20
the police station, where Martin had already
gone. The Straightouts swept down the main
street of the town. firing Tevolvers and shot
guns. to the police station, where they pounced
on Martin and Lyons and kicked them IN the
face and body. The police charged the InVad-
ers and drove them from the station
Martin and Lyons were escorted under cover
OF darkness TO their homes. where they secured
medical attention. Their wounds may terrnlna t5

who was chief counsel for the miners In
the recent arbitration growing out Of the
strike In the anthracite coal fields, deliv-
cred an address before the Henry George
association here today on THE Perils of
Trade Unionism." The general tone of his
talk was that labor unions do not under
stand the principles upon which they ars
founded and along which they must WORK
II they are to continue in existence. He
said In part:
Trade unionism is really in its last anal
ysis the effort to monopohSe the labor
the effort to monopolize production. The
great growth of trade unionism In the last
lew years has taken into it's body large
numbers of men who were not tamlnar
with its principles or its value, whose one
desire has been TO better their. condition,
VINO have not the understanding Of anairs
to recognize the relation that trade union.
ism has to a general progress ana VINO
therefore have narrow views as TO its man
agement and use. ,
the men seem to have lost sight OF the
fundamental principles which in the end
must control Men catch trade unionism
and speculation as they catch the measles
or the mumps. Capital has caught the
fever of commerce until IL has gone mad
over corporal tions and trusts. Likewise
labor caught the fever of trade unionism,
and without knowing what IL means or
realizing how II may be of real service TO
the world has turned its power and energy
tions Unless this force is turned TO noht-
ical power or turned to substantial methods
for bettering Industrial conditions, then
this great movement must be for naught.

ST PETERSBURG, May 24.-while II Is
not intended to imply that the govern

Jewish immigration observers expect that
this will be the result Of IT,
II is noteworthy. however, that M. kron-
shevan, the editor Of Bessaraytz, the anti
Semitic paper of Kischinen, writing after
the massacre, oratorically addressed the
Jews in an article in this way;
Become Christians and our brothers ana

you please. After that term has expired
there must not remain single Jew In
Russia unless he is ChristianiIed. and
thereafter entrance t. Russia will be for

NJ. Kronshevan's defenders include, beside
the Novoe Vremya and other nationalist
papers, the director Of the department of
police. NJ. Loupokhen, who upon returning
from Kischincff, told a leading liberal jour
nalist that Kronshevan was the only man
in Russia who had not been bought by the
Jews"
News has reached here privately from
Warsaw that on May the workingmen
there unfurled red flags, shouted Down

songs. A thousand men participated ac'
lively and many more passively in this

he wanted TO tell her something. She asked
him to tell her then. but he objected.
Suddenly Grannls put his hand on Mrs
RyhaPs shoulder and said he would shoot

LAUNDRY DRIVERS oBDURATE
stand in way of Resumption OF
Work in Chicago Lnun-
dries.

CHICAGO, May A-Refusal OF the laun-
dry drivers to submit their wage scale TO
arbitration prevented settlement OF the
laundry strike today At a meeting be-
tween representatives of the Drivers union'
the Laundry Workers union and the e&-
ecutive committee Of the Laundry own
ers association, all sorts OF arguments
were brought to bear on the drivers TO
recede from their position, but the latter
refused to yield from the stand they have
taken and when the meeting adjourned
tonight the settlement of the strike seemed
as far off as ever. The owners and the
Laundry Workers union have settled their
differences, but the owners refuse to open
for business until the trouble with the
drivers has been adjusted, The strike has
lasted more than three weeks
