was besieged from morning till night

Mr.. Francis stated that two clergy
men had exchanged pulpits for a Sun

congregation, was accosted by an old
woman.

WILL APPOINT COMMITTEE TO IN
VESTIGATE COLORADO TROUBLE.
w. HI. Montgomery, Labor Commits.
siOner of That State, Before
Miners Board.

w. II. Montgomery, State labor commits
sioner of Colorado, appeared before the
executive board of the United Mine Work
ers of America, which is in session at the
Occidental Hotel, to discuss the situation
among the mine workers of District 15
embracing Colorado. Wyoming, New Mex
leo and UtaA. The miners in those regions
have been on the verge of strike for the
past few weeks and are only awaiting a
decision from the executive board to leave
the mines The board discussed the con-
ditions in the morning and in the after
noon an audience was held with Mr.. Mont
gomery, wEo came especially to confer
with Mr.. Mitchell. 1t was finally decided
by the board to authorize John Mitchell
to appoint 4 committee to investigate the
trouble and then report back to the execu-
tive board the matter stands thus and
there is not much probability of the strike
before the committee makes its report at
least.
About tive thousand coal miners in Dis
trict Is are ready and willing to go on
strike, because of the refusal of the oper-
ators to grant their demands They ask
the wages Increased and the hours of labor
shortened. Mr.. Montgomery said last
night: ''The demands of the miners are
just. The mines are badly ventilated and
vanced in *he same ratio as the miners
wages in the East. Things look pretty bad
at present, but l am in hopes that the
strike will be averted. There is already
one strike among the miners in Colorado
and 100 of the State militia are at Cripple
Creek. / de- not think strike is advisable
at this time. for the reason that it would
not tie up all traffic and would not accom-
plish all tl3at is intended that it should.
There are many nonunion men in the re-
gion and consequently the strike would not
be totally effective. On the other hand,
however, there is great demand for
miners in Colorado account of the in
creasing output of the mines. Within the
last year there has been an increase of 40
per cent. irf the output, although the num-
ber of the smines has not increased. An
other thing that would make ii impossible
to carry on a binding strike is the fact
that gooe deal of the mining is now be-
ing done by machinery. 1t is impossible
to say as TO the outcome of the situation,
but it is hoped that the strike can be
avoided"
Most of she time of the session of the
executive board of the mine workers was
devoted tos the Colorado question yester-
day. A Number of other routine affairs
were transacted. The board expects to fin
ish up all business by tomorrow if possi-

KOKOMO, Ind, Oct. 6.-Owing to the alb
sence of one member, the gas meter ordi-
nance did not pass over the mayors veto
last night. Six of the ten councilmen are
in favor of the meter under existing condi-
tions and at the next regular meeting, two
weeks hence the ordinance will be adopted
despite the mayors Veto
There is much feeling against the mayor
by the councilmen favoring the ordinance,
and he is charged with insincerity and
playing to the galleries in opposing the
meter ExMayor Armstrong was present
at the session and boldly charged bribery
and corruption. He opposes the meters and
accused the Council of being tools of the
gas company. The Council is confronted
with delicate proposition. The gas COM
pany threatens to cut off Kokomo entirely
if the meters are rejected and to sell its
gas to Logansport, which is within two
miles of the abandoned Chicago pipe line.
1t is up to Kokomo to say whether 1t is
gas and meter or no gas The majority OF
Kokomo's consumers prefer the meter and
gas. AS compromise the company agreed
to a maximum rate of 81 per consumer per
month, the original figure being 81 per
month. The company has confidence in the
final passage of the ordinance and the
meters are already here and being installed
in the houses of patrons.
