Washington, Aug. 20.-President
Roosevelt has ordered an investigation
in the several government depart
ments to ascertain if there is a strict
compliance with the principle laid
down by the antracite coal strike com
mission. 'that no person shall be re-
fused employment or in any way dis
criminate against On account of
membership or non membership in
any labor organization" This in
vestigation is in line with the Presi.
dents famous letter concerning the
Miller case in the government bind
cry. The president is standing fear
lessly on the decision of the coal strike
commission, AMI means to have this
principle enforced in the govern nent.
The union failed to see the ap pli.a-
ton of this principle when the effort
was made to have Miller removed.
Now it is beginning to realize that it
will be compelled to retrench or suffer
the penalty. The government has
heretofore been decidedly friendly to
the unions, especially the printers,
and has used the old time hand set
ting when every progressive printing
establishment Of any consequence has
installed the machines. Now it
would seem that the rule of the coal
strike commission must be applied,
and non union men will be on an
equal footing with the union.
Constantinople, Aug. 20.-The
Macedonian situation becomes more
serious and more complicated every
day. The troops are mutinying, and
characterization in the ranks has be-
come the rule rather than the excep-
tion. The pay is long vel due, and
this with inducements held out by the
insurgents, has caused, hundreds of
them to desert and join the i%nsurgent
forces. While the Bulgarians con-
slider the attitude of Russia as a step
towards interference, this position
is denied by Russia. There is grave
fear of a massacre in Macedonia and
the ambassadors have called the atten-
tion of the Porte to the situation.
The Turkish government will accede
to the Russian demands, but, that
does not simplify the situation, as
there are other international compli-
cations that even Russia cannot settle.
Chicago, Aug. q "a conference of
the leading agriculturists will be held
in this ely today for the purpose of
launching a united movement among
all the agricultural societies for dollar
wheat and the maintenance Of that
vice. The plan Of the organization
is to hold the supply in the hands of
the producer until the demand, and
limited supply send tile price to the
dollar mark. There will be an effort
made to create a sufficient fund to
loan, under proper restrictions, a
reasonable amount of money to farm
ers who would otherwise be compelled
to sell at the market price, and accept
the wheat as colleteral security.
Winona, MINI, Aug. 2O.-Newton
Hellyer, a laborer, was found dead
near this city late yesterday after
noon, with the head nearly severed
from the body. He had been employ
ed on the Milwaukee & st. Paul rail
road, ard in the government quarry
> at Gainesville, and had considerable
money which he persisted in carrying
! on his person. Robbery was the mo-
; tive for the crime.
Boston, Aug 2O.--The Democrats
of Boston are urging General Miles
e for Governor Of Massachusetts. They
point to the fact that he would get the
S old soldier vote almost solid, which
Q is no inconsiderable item in that
i states politics; then he would be
able to carry the vote of the anti-im-
f peralists, and their influence, which
with the regular Democratic vote
would make his election sure by q
e large majority, and give Miles an up
ward push for the presidency.
