STRIFE CLOSES SHELTER
Golden Reward at DeadwOOd Idle and Mines
Are Also Closed,
TROUBLE OVER DISCHARGE OF ONE MAN
General Manager said to Contemplate
shipping Ore TO Omaha and Per-
manentIy Closing the
Plant.

DEADW0OD, s. D., Feb. 1.-(Special Tel
egram. )-The employees Of the Golden Re-
ward smelter, the largest of its kind In
the United States. struck last night, and as
consequence almost 1000 men are today
out of employment and double that number
have been affected by the strike.
The trouble arose over the taking OF Of
one man from the charge floor OF the
smelter, and not on account of wages, the
highest wages in the United States having
been paid the men for that kind Of work.
The Deadwood Labor union is discussing
the situation this evening, but should Gem
eral Manager Franklin, who is at the pres
ent time In the east, persist In his determ-
ination. the smelter will not be blown In
again. he having telegraphed today, after
receiving word OF the strike and the cause
Of It, to close thu smelter down, pay off
the men and call the miners from the
mines of the company in the Bald Mountain
and the Ruby Basin districts, leaving only
enough to keep the timbering up and the
workings free from water
It is said that he will make arrangements
while in the east with the railroad COM
panies and after things have been settled
begin shipping ore to the Omaha smelter.
The Golden Re ward treats 500 tons of ore
daily when its smelter is running, besides
200 tons which is treated in the cyanide
plant of the company in this city. Next
to the Homestake company, the Golden Re-
ward is the largest employer Of labor In
the Black Hills and even should the mines
! be again started up It will be with a
great reduction in the force of miners,
while the 800 men who have been working
In the smelter in this city will be out OF
employment.
The men are doing little talking, many
of them believing that the strike was ILL
advised, and that the men should have
awaited the arrival Of Mr.. Franklin from
the east before going to extremes in the
matter. and at least given him notice Of
their intentions and an opportunity to pass
on their grievances.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 1.-The antitrust

Grafton IN the house this week, will not
come up until late in the week. II at all.
and possibly may be postponed until next

been reached to allow two days general
debate.
Tomorrow is suspension day. and a num-

The Article.

AS the people had been led to expect.
the city OF Omaha is arrsying itself against
the rural counties. school districts and VIII
lagos Of the state in the matter Of railroad
taxation. The latest scheme is being ex-
plotted In the legislature. The attempt is
being made to change the law so as to per-
init Omaha to assess the railroad terminal
properties locally. instead OF allowing the
taxes to be distributed equally along the
lines as at present
II is well known that the railroads are
interested in the upbuilding Of all parts of
the state, and that thereby they build up
their own business The valuable railroad
properties located in Omaha are not there
for the sole benefit OF Omaha. but for the
benefit OF the whole system.
The scheme has just been attempted in
Illinois. where Chicago wanted to grab the
railroad taxes for local purposes. The at
torney general stood for the people of his
state, and declared that the scheme would
result in loss OF at least 20 per cent IN
taxes in each Of the outside counties. The
case went TO the courts. and few days

SOCIALISTS ARE SURPRISED
Omaha Members Did Not Expect RE-
mOvaI OF National HendGusr-
ters of Party.

The removal Of the socialist national
headquarters to Omaha, as announced from
st, Louis Saturday, came somewhat as a
surprise to the local members of the party.
The government OF the socialist party Is
peculiar TO itself. Unlike other political
parties, IL maintains a permanent national
headquarters, In charge Of a secretary, who
at this time is Leon Greenbaum. To assist
the secretary a committee of five, known
as the local quorum, is elected by the
members OF the national central commit
tee from among the membership OF the
party at large, the members Of this COM
mittee generally being chosen from the
states contiguous to the national head
quarters
The trouble at st. Louis seems to have
been that the members OF the old local
quorum had endeavored to effect fusion
arrangement with another party and when
this was discovered by the national COM
mittee they were removed and the head
quarters we're taken from ST. Louis. be,
cause 1t was felt that the local quorum had
aroused the feelings OF the local socialists
in regard to the question Of fusion. Omaha
was selected on account of ehe ease by
which it can be reached from all parts OF
the country. The Nebraska member OF the
central committee is Christian Christen-
sen OF Plattsmouth, who is now at st.
Louis The committee met January 20 and
will conclude its session today, 1t being
understood that at this session the time
for the removal OF the offices to Omaha will
be set. II is not known locally whether
Leon Greenbaum will be continued as Sec
retary, but the Omaha members of the
party say that they would not be surprised
II some other person is elected to the office
upon its removal to this city.
Omaha socialists are not united in opin-
ion as to the effect the location Of the
headquarters here will have upon the party
in the city and state. and while the major
ity seem pleased with the selection Of this
city, there are others who say that main
tenance of national headquarters in Ne
b-aska will tend to decrease the activity
Of the local members, who will depend to
a greater extent upon the work Of the ma
tional organization in spreading the doc
| trine.
The socialist party is the one which grew
out of the work OF Eugene V. Debs and
John A. Wayland. and is distinct from the
| socialist labor party, which maintains
headquarters in New York under the direc-
| tion Of DeLeon

Question May, However, Be Put Without
Allowing President to Decide,
cUtLOM PUSHES CUBAN TREATY FORWARD
Illinois Member Anxious 90 obtain
Reciprocity Ratification, but Must
Wait Decision ms TO TcrritO-
ries' ultimate Fate.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-THE omnibus
statehood bill will continue to hold It's
place for the present as the unfinished
business on the senate calendar, but u
seems quite probable that the debate will
be transferred TO the appropriation bills.
Senator Quay has entirely changed his tao
tics during The last week and aftei '-ving
IN vain to secure a quorum for night sos
sions on two different occasions, has
abandoned all efforts in that direction,
leaving the senator's VINO oppose the state
hood bill to take the responsibility for de-
lay. He now apparently Is the least con-
cerned Of all TO secure late sessions.
He makes no conhdants but It is ovi-
dent that It is his purpose to make his
fight In connection with the appropriation
bills and to secure promises to vote for a
statehood rider to one or other Of them.
Thus fer there has not been delay on any
supply measure on account Of the state
hood debates, but there will be a decided
effort 10 attach the statehood amendment
to the agricultural appropriation bill. 1t
is expected that the amendment will be
ruled out on. point Of order, in which
event there will be an appeal from the te-
cision Of the chair. II is quite possible,
however, that the question may be sub
mitted TO the senate without a ruling by
the chair. This plan has been pursued In
other cases and has been found to work
satisfactorily
Senator Cullom will attempt to secure
consideration OF the Cuban treaty, but un-
III the statehood bill is disposed OF all
speculation hs to what may be done with
other questions is idle.

STRIKES BLOW AT GERMANY
New Russian TariR Hits FatherIand
Hard by Taxing It's Prod
ucts High.

ST. PETERSBURG. Feb. 1.-The Novoe
Vremya publishes an article in which 1t an
alyzes the new Russian customs tariff.
The increase in rates over the existing
tariff is so per cent for the great majority
OF imports and over 100 per cent for many
important groups, among the latter being
delicatessen and various manufactures of
wood, leather and metals. The tariff is
characterized by a more detailed differen-
tiation, whereby lower priced articles are
taxed less than higher priced ones, metal
lurgical products being particularly differ
entiated against.
Differential treatment against imports
overland compared to those brought by sea
averages 20 per cent on coal, pig iron. steel
plates and machines.
The paper points out that all Germany's
leading exports to Russia will be taxed
under the new tariff so to 15O per cent over
the treaty rates.

members OF the legislature In line with
that Of your article. am led to the belief
that there is an African in the woodpile.

lie sentiment in the interest OF the public"
you are really trying to earn your salary
by cleverly working" the gullfble country
editor to serve the interests and wishes OF
your employer, the Union Pacific, in the
belief that he is serving the people. The
present method OF assessing the railroads
is undoubtedly a cleverly devised scheme
by the railroads TO shirk payment OF their
fair proportion of taxes by taking advan-
tage Of the lower tax levies OF the rural
counties through which their lines run.
The cities Of Omaha. Lincoln aud perhaps
other cities OF the state in which are To-
Gated valuable terminal properties are en-,
titled to the privilege OF assessing these
properties, and the present system of as
sessing railroad properties is a rank injus-
tice to those cities, they being at enormous
expense for fire and police protection and
receive practically nothing for it,
No doubt. Frank, the present law gov
erning the assessment OF railroad property
is largely responsible for the great inter-
est the railroads have been taking In the
selection OF candidates for state officers by
both political parties.
Then again, Frank. when the railroads
become so ''magnanimOus" as to spend
money to arouse public sentiment in behalf
Of the dear people. our observation forces
us to the conviction that It is time to look
into the motive.
In conclusion, dear Frank, permit me to
say you are In mighty small business when
you undertake to act as go-between In buy
ing up the influence OF the country press
In behalf OF the railroads OF this state, and
permit me to exhol you to turn from the

ruption before it is eternally too late. Fra

real estate boomers desire TO get around

in the matter of railroad taxes looks like
base ingratitude. II is like an attempt
