operators refused 20 recognize the organ

GERS. Mr.. Mitchell continued
RELATIONS MORE CORDIAL.
with each succeeding year the rela-
tions become more cordial between the
OPERA tors and miners In whose districts
where trade agreements exist ana the
bonds OF mutual confidence and respect
perceptibly increased.
That the business relations now exist
ing will continue and grow as time goes
on is my earnest hope and confident eX-
pectation.".
Concerning the incorporation Of trade
unions Mr.. Mitchell submitted an opin-
ion by Clarence S. Darrow OF Chicago, at
torney for the miners before the strike
commission in which the following SEN
tences occur:
'The demand for the Incorporation OF
trade unions Is the last trench OF those
who oppose organized labor. IL Is impu-
dent and presumptuous. No friend or
trade unionism ever believed In IL or ad-
vocated. or called for IT, 1t is demanded
today by those interests and those enc
mics who have used every means at
their command TO oppose trade unionism,
10 counteract it's influence and destroy IL.
How the labor organizations shall
manage their own affairs is not the busi-
ness Of the corporations or the employ
ers. This new demand for the incorpora-
ton OF labor unions Is not only unjust
and unreasonable, hut Il In impudent and
insulting 10 the last degree
GOVERNMENT BY INJUNCTION.
Referring to the injunctons Mr..
Mitchell said:
Government by Injunction Is one OF
the most insidious. harassing and danger
Gus methods resorted 10 by the enemies
OF workingmen TO destroy labor organiza
tieHs- te circumvent- -constitu
tlonal right of trial by jury The whole
system of government by Injunction
grows from the distrust OF the ultra cap
italists for democratic institutions.
"rhe reasons given for the issuing OF
injunctions are alwoys misleading and
generally false So far as these intunc-
tions are issued in labor cases they are
never issued excepting In such cases
as call for the exercise OF the national
law.
Government by injunction is not only
hostile to organized labor but II is hos
tile To constitutional liberty. II the
American people do not check this ar
bitrary power II will result In the ami
hilation OF labor unions and then of all
other forms of associations disliked by
capitalists"

GIRLS SCALP TORN ENTIRELY OFF
Hair Caught in Printing Press-She VIII
Recover. but Be Bald

While bending down to pick some papers from
the floor. Mamie Bierich, fourteen years old, OF
No. "A East Third-st. yesterday had her hair
caught in a moving press on the floor occupied
by P F. Collier & Son, publishers. at No. 81
Little West Twelfth-st. Before the machine
could be stopped the girls scalp was torn en-
tirely off.
The child, although suffering intense pain, did
not faint. and only screamed slightly. She stood
on her feet half stupeied, while the blood ran
down her face until some of the employees in the
place helped her to a chair. The little girls
wealth Of black hair with the scalp attached
was wound round and round in the press, and
was extricated with great difficulty when the
machine was stopped.
According to Thomas J. MCGOWAN, the fore
man in charge of the pressroOm, the girl ought
not to have been near the machine, as she was
employed to carry papers at another end Of
the floor None of the employees were watching
the girl and their attention was first attracted
by her screams.
DR.. CULVER, Of st. Vincent's Hospital took
the child away in ambulance. At the hos
pital it was said that while the girl was SUI
fering greatly she would probably recover. It
was the opinion of the physicians there that
the child would be bald for life
