SECRETARY OF BookBINDERs
DECLARES RULING IN MILLER
CASE WAS LAWFUL.
THE ONLY COURSE OPEN
Labor Official States That All Conflicts
Between Constitution of Union and
Federal Laws Must Be Eliminated,
If Such Be Found.

Washington. D.. c., July 3O.-"Presi-
dent Roosevelt was unquestionably
right in his decision reinstating w. A.
Miller to his position in the govern
ment printing Office and we do not crit
icise his action in the least" This dec
laration was made by Secretary Bar
rett of the local book-binder's union
in speaking of the Miller case and is
evidence of the fact that there is no
desire on the part of the union to clash
with the government. In regard to the
accusation that the laws Of the union
were at variance with the statutes of
the United States an official of the
local organization says: "If there is
any conflict between the laws of our
land and our union the latter will have
to be revised
Case Presented Wrongly.
The book binders deeply regret that
the case against w. A. Miller was moi
presented right in the first instance
They admit that they have been plac
ed in an embarrassing position, though
they predict that when the case is
thoroughly investigated and the

lie the attitude Of the union will be en-
dorsed.

While Public Printer Palmer and
Secretary Cortelyou are comforting
over the charges that have been filed
against Miller, the officers of the loca
union and the brotherhood of book
binders are seeking to determine
whether there is any conflict between
the constitution of the union and th'

Roosevelt in the Right.
After reviewing the various points il
the case against Miller and the stant

Barrett of the local union says:
President Roosevelt is unquestion

no other course open to him. He haG

doubt he has done SO in the Miller

the reasons given for his discharge il
the official letter of dismissal sent Mil

LIKE A CIRCUS TRAIN.
New Way for Loading Cattle Cars
Patented by Frisco Man.

W. r Preston of the Frisco line has
completed a plan and patented II by
which the loading of cattle cars Is
made easier by the cutting out OF the
usual switchlngs. at present the great
est nuisance that exists.
The plan OF the new car Mr..
Preston said to some inquiries, Us
a very simple continuance of an end
construction whereby continuous cars
may be opened into each other with
an apron which drops over the space
between the end stills. In this way the
cattle entering the one car placed on
the chute are made TO pass forward
along the whole train without trouble
and delay such as exists now. In case
OF accidents on the road the stock
may be transferred directly into an.
other car by merely coupling them to-
gether without the need of taking the
cars TO pen chutes."
Mr.. Preston IL connected with the
freight department of the Frisco line.
He has In the last few years invented
a number OF devices that have been
adopted and this one seems to meet
with favor from all the experts who
have seen the model work which he
has set up at st. Louis.

TO END IN MATRIMoNY.
Man From San Pablo Beats Jesusita
Mora. Pays Fine. and Announces
His Engagement.

II isn't often that a brutal beating
given by man to a woman is the
forerunner OF marriage between the
couple. but thus II has been in the
case of Mrs. Jesuslta Nora and Senior
Lucero Valdez, says a Las Vegas ex.
change. Mrs. Mora, wac lives in the
city, appeared in Judge Wooster's
court and swore to complaint
against Valdez. charging him with as.
sauit. The womans bruised face gave
evidence OF the truth OF her state
ment. The woman claimed that Val.
DEE owed her IS and decnned to pay.
When she asked him for the dinero,
he set upon her vlciously. Valdez
didn't deny the impeachment but he
told the Judge he would fix matters
satisfactorily. He called the woman
aside and presented mis- suit. In a
few moments he addressed the court
with much eloquence, informing the
judge that the lady had consented to
marry him. He promised TO pay the
costs OF the suit and the court after
assessing an additional flyer adjured
them to go forth and live happy ever
afterwards.
