BLANKET INJUNCTION
(Continued From First Page.)

Monday. ard it is thought that they can be tried more expeditiously there.
 s. c. Burdette, attorney for the Unit ed Mine Workers of America. went to Breckley this afternoon to appear for the miners
 The injunction which the miners are charged with violating was the blanket writ issued by Judge Keller at the suit of the Chesapeake and Ohio company last August The defendants in the case were all coal workers operating in the New river field, 15O members of the Mine Workers of America by name, including President Mitchell and Secra- tary Wilson and all other persons whatsoever who aided and abetted them. The injunction covered almost every fcot Of ground in the coal min ing region of New river. While all the mines in the Kanawha and New river sections have been at work some months, the strike has not been official ly declared off, and it has been smold- ering in the New river gorge, threat ening to break into flame in the spring.
 The locality in which today's tragedy occurred is one in which the mines have but recently been opened, and the small towns are filed with the most desperate men that ever came into the state.
 Advices from the scene of the conflict tonight are to the effect that all is quiet now, but fears are entertained that the trouble will break out afresh ] at any moment.

AGENTS BUY TIME TO TALK.

Every once in 9 while the newspa- pers print stories about the devices adopted by life insurance men, book canvassers and others engaged in sim liar occupations to gain and hold audi ence with their prospective victims. A favorite story tells Of the life insurance agent who. when on the point of being ejccted on the ground that his victims time was too valuable to waste in lis tening to insurance schemes, bought five minutes of the time at $1 a minute, the price being set by the owner, of course. At the end of the five minutes the insurance man had the victims signature to a s1O00O policy.
 But for simplicity this does not com pare with the plan pursued with great success by an insurance man new in town. Admission to the victim being gained. the conversation runs some Ihing like this
 Insurance man-'-Give me q dollar and I'll tell you something of great in terest to you.''
 Victim Cautiously )-"Not so fast; why should I give you dollar in ad- vance. Tell me your scheme first" Cor words to that effecD.
 With an invitation such as that it is plain sailing. This possesses the ad- vantage over the first scheme that in case o: failure, even if the agent is not a dollar in, he is, at least, net s5 out.-NeW York Sun.
