Judgment Of the court being in favor
of the applicant. Haywood was al
lowed bail in the sum Of $4,000, and
the amount was furnished promptly.

There Is immediate danger Of a re-
newal Of the big strike in the anthra-
cite coal regions. In disregard Of the
recommendations Of the presidents
strike commission, the mine operators
persist in their refusal to recognize
the duly elected representatives OF the
miners as having the right to attend
to business for their constituents. AS
the result there has been quite cool
ness for sometime. This involves the
real issue that led to the big strike Of
last fall and winter. The operators
Of the mines are willing to pay al
most any wages; but they are not
willing to deal with the miners

the point of calling another strike for
the express purpose Of enforcing this
principle, and there is reason to be-
lieve that If he does do so the mine

-Advices received from Odessa, un-
der date of June %, say the Jews
there are now preparing to defend
themselves intelligently. Several thou
sand rifles have been imported since
the massacre, so that at present al
most every Jew, man or woman Is
armed. Those who were unable to
buy weapons received them as gifts
from the defense committee. A sys-
tenn Of communication has also been
agreed upon SO as to spread q warn
ing throughout the city when there is
an outbreak of violence in any quar-

reported to have arranged with the
workingmen's associations for aid in
the event Of outbreaks. Arms have
been distributed from Odessa to the
Jews in other cities Of Russia.
