Concerning Injunctions.

On the injunction subject Mr. Mitchell
says n part:
'It is difficult to speak in measured
tones, or in moderate language upon
this subpect. 1t is apparent to every
Gle who is acquainted with the facts
that many of these Injunction judges
and especially Judge Jackson-are total
" unfit TO perform the functions of their
sacred Offices. In numerous instances
members Of our union, when brought be-
fore these judges, have been treated
with indignity, and have had such
abuse Eeaped unon them as should be
countenanced by no man of impartial
mind or OF judicial temperament"
Mitchell openly charges that the
Western Federation OF Miners is at
tempting to disrupt this organization.

Miners persists in pursuing this hostile
policy

MITCHELL SPEAKS
ON NINE TROUBLES
All hracite Section OIL Verge
Of Disruption
ALL DiSLoYALTf IS SCORED
For the First Time Speaker Flags
Public Officials and Federal
Judges.

INDIANAPOLIS Jan. 11.-In his an
ual address to the Mine Workers
convention read here. President John
Mitchell says there has been no in
crease in the membership in the organ
ia ton for the first time in ten years.
and declares that the Anthracite section
OF the Organization is on the verge of
disruption.
Furthermore. for the first time in any
of his public utterances, Mitchell fayS
public officials from Federal judges in
the East to Governor Peabody in the
West. and asks for a lobby TO get legis-
lation through Congress.
He accuses local unions of dfsloyaltyi
to the national organization by keeping
back funds. and sounds q general note
of alarm to the organization which, he
says. is approaching crisis in its af-
fairs. as in another year the anthracite
strike award ends and the bitumin0us
contract expires also.
10 Growth in Membership.
After extending to the delegates a cor
dial welcome to the sixteenth annual
convention of the Mine Workers, Mr..
Mitchell said in part:
Except for the year OF the anthra-
cite strike, this is the first time that
! have been un..i5ie TO report any ma
t2r1ai growth in the membership OF the
organization. Our average membership
fer the year ending December 81, 1904
shows an increase of less than 4,00t
over the preceding year, while the
membership for the month of December
1sez-b2sed upon the tax received for
that Inonta-shows q decrease OF about
2:s,ce0 members. The greatest loss ss,s-
tanned is in the Eastern bituminous an6
anthracite fields.

He reminded the board that four years

not been kept. He offered 10 subscribe

that If 500 men would do the same the

How Lamont Lost $4,000, 600.

The note Of affection has been very no.
ticeable in the flood OF obituary discourse
In the newspapers about Colonel Lamont
Prof II. L. Nelson, writing about him in
the Boston Herald, said that he was a good
deal more than an able man, in that there
are very few men in the world who were
possessed as he was OF the beautiful
genius for friendship" He was willing to
sacrifice himself. says Mr.. Nelson, either
for cause or friend. There are many
comments from other sources to the same
effect, says Harper's Weekly, taking note
Of Colonel Lamonts liking for his fellow
creatures and Of the absolute constancy of
his fidelity to those who trusted him
One story about him that we see in print
tells how. at the instigation of James ].
Hill and others. and with their aid, La
mont bought a good deal of Northern Pa
cihc stock when It was very cheap, and
how when there came along in May, 1901,
the night between Mr. Hill and others for
the control OF the road, someone from the
group opposed TO Mr.. Hill came TO Lamont
and offered him a bonus Of 100000 for his
holdings. which just then had a market
value of 81, 10000. The ownership of the
shares Lamont held would have carried the
control of the road to Mr.. Hills rivals. But
Lamont would not SELL and subsequently
turned in his tsock 10 the holding com
pany at profit of less than a million,
1t is noted somewhat too breathlessly
that he threw away something more than
100000 OF course he did! No man OF
good, common sense, let alone sentiment
would have sold out his friends at such a
juncture, and it is not abnormally to La
monts credit that he didn't But the story
whether true or not, Is pleasant, and the
size Of the figures help to make It inter
esting.
