The Post-Intelligencer, the most val- iant newspaper champion of the Dis trlct of Alaska, in the issue of the llth devotes three full pages of telegraphic matter extracted from the report of the senate's Alaska committee of the com mittee on territories. It is a splendid tribute of the appreciation which the leading journal of Washington has of the great importance wh ch Alaska must always bear to Puget sound Iu the same number the Post-Intelligen- cer says editorially:
 "TOday the Post-Intelligencer prints in full the report of the senate sub committee on territories which visited Alaska last year. A telegraphic sum- mary of a part of the report was print ed in yesterdays issue, but the import ance of the subject to our readers, both here and in the land of the Cinderella among the commonwealths of the coun- try, justifes calling attention to the re port in all it's detail.
 'The three most generally significant features of the report have been em- bodied in legislation proposed yester- day by Senator Nelson. They are the election of a delegate, the creation of a road fund, and the total suppression oi gambling.

Rights of Fishermen.

Denver, July IA dispatch from
Gunnison last night says: An impor-
tant decision in regard to the rights of
fishermen was made this afternoon by
Judge Theron Stevens of the Seventh
judicial district in the case of an appli-
cation for an Injunction made by AL
ONO Hartman. a prominent ranchman,
to prevent George Treasise from enter.
ing his fields to fish.
The court held that the beds of the
streams in Colorado are public high
ways for the purpose of carrying water
belonging to the people of the state,
and that any citizen has the right to
enter them for any lawful purpose, in
cluding that of fishing. The court fur
ther held that in getting upon the
bank in an inclosure the fisherman
did so at his own peril, subject to tres
pass.

slaughtered by cattlemen eighteen
miles north of this place numbered
about 1000 head, and the number of

with miners picks. hammers and green
pine clubs. Very little shooting took
place, except when sheep would get
out of the small corral built hurriedly

DECISION
MONOPOLY CONTRACT INVALID.
Agreement to Employ Only Union Men
Declared void.-Far-Reaching De-
cision of Milwaukee Court.

Milwaukee, Wis. July 14.-Contracts
made by Incorporated labor unions
with manufacturers, prohibiting the
employment of non-union worklngmeh
are void, according to a decision an
nounced by Judge Ledwig in the Cir
cult Court yesterday. it is the first
ruling had upon the question and II
sustained by the Supreme Court will
be of far-reaching importance.
The decision was given in the suit
brought by the Milwaukee custom tail
ors against local concern which mado
an agreement with the tailors to en-
ploy none but union workmen.
A temporary injunction was obtained
hut this Judge Ludwig rules was inn
providently issued.
After the injunction was issued the
union instituted proceedings to have
the company punished for contempt
for the alleged failure to comply with
its terms The motion to punish was
denied and the injunction set aside.
The decision goes further than the
contract between the unions and the
manufacturers, holding also that con-
tracts requiring the employment OF
none but union labor are void. The
court says it is class discrimination.
The court in its opinion said:
This agreement strikes at the rlsht
of contract and provides that complain
ant shall employ none but members or
the several unions, thus discriminating
in favor of one class of men and ex-
GLIDING all others. Therefore the pro-
hibition contained in the contract
strikes at the right of contract both
on the part of the laborer and the en-
ployer. The agreements in question
would tend to create monopoly in
favor of the members of the different
unions, to the exclusion of the work
men not members of such unions, and
are in this respect unlawful. Contracts
tending to create monopoly are
void.'

DEATH OF MAYOR JONES.
Toledo's Golden Rule" Official Joins
the Great Majority.

Toledo, o., July 12.-Samuel NJ.
Jones, the Golden Rule mayor" died
at his home Tuesday evening as the
result of complication of diseases.
The immediate cause Of his death
was an abcess on his lungs. When
this abcess broke the mayor was not
strong enough to throw off the poison
from his system. and death resulted.
The mayor had suffered for years from
asthma, and this was the primary
cause of his fatal illness.
The death of Mayor Jones has caus-
ed the greatest sorrow all over the
city. Although many did not believe
in his ideas on sociological problems.
everybody loved and respected him.
His one great stronghold with the peo-
pie of Toledo was his honesty.
The mayor was taken i'll two weeks
ago Saturday, and for the last forty
eight hours previous to his death was
in a comatose condition. He did not
regain consciousness during that time.
All the members of his family were at
his bedside at the time of his death.
He left a widow and three sons.
Percy. Paul and Mason Jones. He will
be succeeded as mayor by Robert
Finch. president of the city council.
Mr.. Jones was originally a Repub-
lican and was first elected mayor OF
Toledo as a Republican. This was in
1897. He failed to secure a renomina-
tion as a Republican, and running as
an Independent he was again elected.
For the term following he was opposed
by every newspaper in Toledo and also
by all regular party organizations and
was again reelected.
These campaigns gave him a nation
al reputation. and in 1900 he ran as
an independent candidate for governor
of Ohio, but was overwhelmingly de-
feated.
He became commonly known as
Golden Rule" Jones because of
placard which he caused to be posted
in his workshops. reading:
Therefore, whatsoever ye would
that man should do unto you do ye
even so unto them" He also gave ex-
cursions and other forms of entertain
ment TO his employees. and also in later
years distributed among them small
percentage of the earnings of the
company.

alton in st. Louis and East st. Louis

neers and firemen were the onS men

strike leaders. He addressed a mass
meeting of strikers in East st. LOUIS

unable to gain admittance President
Donnelly received an ovation. lie
said:
I'VE shall never again enter into

and child who has been discharged or
who is out on strike has been re
turned to their former positions with
out prejudice Cattle buyers and oth-
er men who have been with the pack
ing houses for years have given up
their jobs rather than fill the posi-
tions of the strikers. and we would De

quiesce in any movement which would
not result in the immediate re-employ-
ment of these men who had been faith

The strike is only in its infancy.
1t will be the most gigantic in the
history of the country since the coal
strike. The meat strike affects every
working man. 1t enters into the per

an absolute necessity.

At the conclusion of the meeting
President Donnelly in an interview,
stated that, according to information
which he had received from John
Joyce. international secretary of the

and 1000 cattle during last week. as
compared with $4,000 to 100000 head
during the same period one year ago.

dent Donnelly. ''if the strike should
happen to last that long, the packers
cannot get skilled men sufficient to
kill over five per cent. of the regular
run of cattle.
