CARTER FREE TOMORROW.

Washington, Nov. 27.-Bya decision
reached by Attorney General Knox
today, Oberln M. Carter will be re-
leased from the Fort Leavenw orth,
Kan, prison on the 2Sth inst. Any
doubt on the matter rose from the
question whether or not the six
months during which Garter was in
carcerated at Governors Island when
he sought to obtain release through
habeas corpus proceedings, should be
counted as portion OF the five years
term in prison to which he was SEN
fenced. The attorney general holds
that this six months should be so
counted, and this, with the remission
of time granted on account of good
behavior, will secure Csrter's release
on the 28th of the present month.

STRIKE Is NOT SANCTIONED
bat Neither VIII the U. NJ. W. Order the
Men Back 20 Work.

Wilkesbarre, Pa, Aug. 4. The
strike at the Red Ash colliery may de-
velop into a protracted struggle. The
miners have been out for twelve days,
and the leaders of the United Mine
Workers have informed them that they
could not and would not sanction their
course, and for that reason they could
not give them any support. or order
them to return to work under the ex-
listing circumstances. Notwithstanding
this state of affairs the strikers re-
fuse to return to work. and propose
to continue the strike upon their own
responsibility.
The strikers ask for the rsinstate-
ment of an employe who was dis
charged by q mine boss without cause
as they claim. Their most important
complaint, however, is aimed at the
superintendent of the mine, whom they
say is overbearing and aggressive, and
constantly causing trouble for the
workers They declare they will not
return to work under his superintend-
ency.
