listen to an open air address by John
Mitchell, president of the United Mine
workers, on the subjecL of strikes. His
remarks were directed almost entirely
to the situation in West Virginia at
this time. He said in part:
The capital and labor question de.
mands the serious attention and in
vestigatiou of the American people.
1t is the paramount subject of the
American thinking people, and all
chimeras and theories must bow before
the great facts pressing for solution
and settlement. | am not an advocate
OF strikes, but there are times when
they are necessary to clinch the argu-
ment of truth in the interests of the
laboring people of this country. Strikes
are feature of civilization, and they
are merely a means to an end in the
great social evolution that is now con
lIOuIlnS the American. BarDarOuS
countries and states have no strikes:
they are unknown there. Strikes are
the sledge hammers that weld the con
Meeting links of labor and capital and
make TIE endless cham of prosperity.
We want better understanding pe-
tween employer and employee, and we
come with offerings of peace The la
Dor unions are trusts just like your
doctors trusts, the minister's trusts
and the money trust, only we cali
those associations corporations. while
we style ourselves unions. There is
no civilization without labor; there
can be no progress without this potent
factor, and why should we not protect
and settlement. | am not an advocate
and foster the interests of such an i'm.
portant element in our national pro.
gress?
I'VE desire an amicable settlement
of the pressing questions of the labor
movement in West Virginia, and every
fair means will be employed by the
United Mineworkers to bring about
this happy result"

A General Fight Took Place Between

Los Angeles, Cal, March pa
Monica line that for desperate daring

ger. who successfully robbed a car
load of passengers on the Pasadena

just outside the city limits. AS re-
suit of the fight that followed between
passengers and highwaymen, George

other passengers wounded. 1t is be-
lieved one of the highwaymen was
killed.
Information of the holdup first reach
ed the police through Charles A. Hen
derson, who was passenger on the
car. He tells the following story:
The car left Fourth and Broadway
at 9:O5 p. M, for Santa Monica. AT
Concord street, about a quarter of
mile outside the city limits, the car
came to a standstill because of some
distractions across the rails. No
sooner had it stopped than three men
appeared, all wearing masks and with
heavy reVolVerS in their hands, when
they trained upon the carload of pas.

up called out the highwaymen

the passengers standing, and as |
was seated | thought l was safe in
making some move.
Il shifted my revolver from my hip
to an overcOat pocket, and a moment
later, when one of the men was not
more than five feet away, | opened
fire. | fired four shots point blank at
his breast. The man fell, and be-
lieve he is MORALLY wounded. Imme-
diately the other two highwaymen,
seeing their companion fall, opened
fire. A regular fusilade of shots fol-
lowed.
Il went across the car and jumped
off the opposite side and ran across
the field to the road. There | ran

fence. l supposed it had been left
there by the highwaymen. l jumped
into the buggy and drove back to

During the fight between the rob.
bers and passengers the motorman
turned on the current and made run
at the distractions on the track, throw
ing them aside and leaving the rob.
bers behind. The car proceeded to
Santa Monica.
The entire police and detective force
of the city are out in search of the

Fort Yellowstone, National Park,

swept terrific snow storm. 1t deep

IRISH TO OWN EMERALD ISLE.
Wyndhams Bill Paves the Way to
That Reform

LOndOn.-The Irish secretary, Mr..
Wyndham, has introduced the govern
ment's long anticipated Irish land bill
in the house of commons. 1t proposes
a free grant of $60,O0O,O0O for the pur-
poses of the bill. Tenants are to pay
3 IA per cent interest on loans from
the government. Mr.. Wyndham said
he thought the scheme would not in
vOlve 100000 900, but that $3.50, 0O0, 600
could safely be advanced on Irish land.
The advances to tenants are limited
to $2500 in the congested districts and
$4,000 elsewhere The bill also pro-
vides that untenanted farms and graz
ing lands shall be sold to neighboring
tenants, and that three commission
ers, to be known as estate commission
ers, shall supervise the sales. The
names of the three commissioners are
Michael Finucane, secretary to the
government of Bengal, revenue, gen
eral and statistical departments:
Frederick Wrench. now one of the
Irish land commissioners, and William
F. Bailey, one of the assistant com
missiOners on the Irish land question.
They will be under the control Of the
lord lieutenant of ireland. The bill
will become effective November ~.
