"Encroachnent on the authority Of the
law courts, wholesale dismissals OF con-
scientious Judges and the appointment Of
incompetent and servie SUCCESSORS, the
protection OF spies and notorious criminals
and the violation OF individual freedom by
illegal arrest not followed by trial, have
for some time been events OF daily OCCUR

dictatorship the Emperor has abandoned
his Finnish subjects, has succeeded IN

ness and One Week OF 1t Was Quito
Enough Furniture Workers Resume.
INDIANAPOLIS, May II The strike OF the
furniture workers Of Evansville, which
began April 1 and closed eleven factories
and severely crippled the remaining
two, came to a sudden end to-day, whom
all the strikers returned to work with
out having one OF their demands granted.
When the worknen walked out there were
two strikes on in the city and bustness
had suffered. The gas workers were ont,
because several workmen had been dis
charged, and a boycott had been declared
against the company, which was indmsed
by some OF the other unions Of the city,
The teamsters and coal miners had also
declared boycott a short time before this
and the business men Of the city became
alarmed.
As soon as the furniture workers began
their strike they began to boycott also and
for three weeks the merchants and othef
business men were harassed by the strikers
and the conflicting interests involved. II
any man was served with gas by the gas
company or hired a non-union teamster
or sold anything to a furniture manu-
facturer. he was at once put on the unfair
list and subjected to indignity.
After bearing this for two weeks more.
the merchants formed a secret organization
known as the Citizens Alliance, designed to
protect its members against the boycotting
unions.
After several meetings 1t was agreed not
to sell on credit to any Of the strikers. who
had been buying mainly on time since the
strike began, and the new rule went into
effect last Monday.
When the wives OF the strikers asked
for credit, they were told plainly by the
merchant that he could not afford to carry
people who were trying to ruin his business
The same thing was said at every store
where credit was asked and the strikers
coon found themselves on short rations.
One week Of II was as much as they could
stand and 700 furniture workers applied
for work to-day. Their return to work
Ia believed to be the forerunner Of q settle
ment Of the other strikes.
