STRIKE SPELLS WAR.
Clarence S. Darrow Makes Some
Lively Assertions.
Chief Attorney for ConI Miners Calls
Judges Tools and servants Of
RnilrOads-Labor Unions
Not Perfect.

Clarence S. Darrow in an address
delivered at Springfield, ILL.,. before
the Young Mems Christian associa-
ton, on "The Anthracite Coal Strike"
compared the striking miners to the
colonial revolutionists, denounced
federal judges who enjoined labor
unions as quite as much the servants
of the railroad companies as their
section hands,
Not thing was done by the
miners in Pennsylvania that was not
done by our revolutionary forefa-
thers," declared Mr.. Darrow. "In
revolutionary times dwellings were
burned, property was contiscated and
100000 persons were driven out of
their country. The refugees settled
Nova Scotia and those who drove
them out of this country then as now
were denounced as hoodlums, muir
derers, cutthroats, assassns and out
laws. Yet they were the respecta-
BILE people of those days and we are
proud to be known as descendants of
these same revolutionists.

stand by their friends, and it will
always be SO as long as men take
sides on great public questions.
after this strike threatened great
danger President Roosevelt sent for
Baer and the other railroad presi-
dents in the coal region and they
came and lied to him. They told him

more than they did, and when the
president asked them to arbitrate,
they said there was nothing to ar
bitrate and asked for more protec-
tion and more troops.
THE report of the commission is a
great victory for union labor. 1t
shows that when the strike was en-
tered into it was the fault of the
employers. This whole strike was
brought about because the employ

How to Sow Crop of Onions

cribe the prepa! Auon Tor sowing a
crop OF onions, as typical OF this KIND
of work. The ground lies rough and
uneven, still showing the spadefuIs as
turned up in winter, but dry and easily
workable with a heavy rake to make
the surface level. 1t is then trodden
down to assist toward firm seed bed;
if small roller is available 1t will
consolidate better than the feet. The
ground for most seed crops can be
hardly too deeply stirred underneath,
or made too firm just on the surface.
Small seeds on a loose soil never seem
to lay hold of the earth, but become
prey both to birds and the burning
sun. The seeds are to be scattered
broadcast and scratched IN with rake
to cover as many as possible. The
surface is then made firm, and all is
ready for the warm showers of April
to bring up the growth Some gard
eners do no, like their seed beds sown
anyhow, but prefer the plants in rows,
or drills, as the experts call them. A
hne is stretched across the ground,
and with the corner of draw hoe a
shallow channel is made against 1t,
about an inch deep; some make 1t
with rake, and there is also small
machine for the purpose, which creates
its own track and deposits the seeds
at any desired thickness All the
operator has to do is to wheel 1t on
the ground to be sown; the depth be-
ing kept uniform and the seeds evenly
distributed, insures good appearance
to the seedlings when growing.

dietary and transportation. His
service in this capacity gave him the
opportunity to become familiar with
matters of transportation. Soon af-
ter the close of his term as legis-
lator, though democrat, he was
elected mayor of his home city,
Champaign, where republicans were
largely in the majority.
During his residence in Illinois Mr..
Day formed the close acquaintance
of Senator Cullom, then governor of
the state: Joseph W. Fifer, now
member of the interstate commerce
commission, and Col. William Il. Nor
rison and other leaders of both par
ties in the state.
Early in his first term President
Cleveland appointed Mr.. Day to the
position of second auditor of the
treasury, and since entering upon the
duties of that position he has been a
resident in Washington. Upon retir-
ing from that Office he resumed the
practice of law in Washington. His
study of transportation problems,
taken up during his service in the IL
linois legislature has been followed
continuously, and he has been closely
identified with litigation involving
questions relating to transportation
subjects. He has been very frequent-
ly employed by the interstate COM
merce commission as special counsel,
and has represented that body in
nearly all of the important investiga-
tions instituted by it in respect to
rates and practices of common car
riers. He has also been attorney in
many transportation cases other
than those conducted by the inter-
state commerce commission.
Recently Mr.. Day acted as special
attorney for the government in a
number of important cases involving
trusts, corporations and transporta-
ton matters. He appeared as spe-
cial attorney for the government in
the beef trust suit and in the North
ern Securities merger case. In the
latter case he cross-eXamined Harri-
man, Hill, Morgan and other railway
magnates, elicting the causes of the
panic of May 9, 1901. His work in
these cases was so efficient and sue
cessful as to meet with the full ap-
probation of the encouragement.

ers wished to destroy the union, and
back of the employers were the great
corporations of the United States and
all the railroads. That is what is
meant by these illegal and outrageous
injunctions issued by tools of the
railroad companies, issued by judges
who are as much the servants of the
railroads as their section men.
"When the union is destroyed it
will mean the end of labor's hopes.
Labor unions are not perfect insti-
tutions. They are simply means
to an end. In some respects labor
unions are narrow, exclusive and mo-
Gopolistic. They are not ideal. In
AN ideal state there will be no la
Gor union, there will be no boycotts,
no strikes, no wage-earners and no
wage-payers. There will be general
partnership. Capital cannot combine
and operate together and ask labor
to operate separately. To ask the
labor union to dissolve is to ask one
army to lay down its arms in the face
of another army"
Mr.. Darrow devoted the greater
part of his address to the subject of
violence during the coal strike, and
throughout his remarks he eXcori-
ated President Baer and the opera
tors.
The speaker said only 20 cases had
been proved where dynamite had
been used, and that in no case did
the strikers or their sympathizers
intend to kill anyone. "They simply
wanted to scare nonunion men by
exploding dynamite in front of the
doors of these men," explained the
miners counsel.
Mr.. Darrow said the miners or their
sympathizers killed only three men
while the coal and iron police and
soldiers killed three or four. None
of the homicides committed by
miners or their sympathizers were
deliberate MURDERS" said Mr.. Oar
row. THE operators tried to create
the impression that the minework-
ers had committed 21 cold-blooded
murders and they so told President
Roosevelt, but he could not discover
more than three cases"
Mr.. barrow said that the Lord by
some oversight had planted all the
anthracite coal in the country in a
patch of territory 100 miles broad
"and then Baer came along and
took it,"

soldier of the empire and won his rank
by long and heroic service which be-

was formerly Mary Esther Lee, of New

The countess has not visited the land

At one time she was considered one of
the most ambitious as well as brilliant
women in Europe, andit is said that she
