WHAT THE FACTS SHOW
CONTRIBUTORS TO THE MINING

Others Of the Bureau Who Have Writ

No specific charges have been made as

that enough has been discovered to war

The Facts in the Case.

A subsequent investigation. however.
brought out the fact that the last issue of

Hayes. economic geology: David 7. Day,

employees Of~the Interior Department, In
cit ding the geological survey, also file
IN the library of the survey. shows that
NJ. Eckel. the cement editor OF the Mining
Wcrld. draws down 1.sOO per annum from
the geological survey; that Mr.. Middleton.
the clay product editor, draws 5000 per
annum from the same source; that Mr..
Parker the coal mining editor. draws 50. 900
per annum: that Mr. Hayes, the economic
geology editor, draws 81, 600 per annum.
ami that Dr.. Day the mineral resources
editor. draws $500 per annum also from
the geological survey.
Colonel Rizer stated today that to the
best of his knowledge and belief 1t is not
true that any of the employees of the sur
vey had used their government knowledge
for the furtherance of private enterprise.
1t is not denied that the Mining World is
a private enterprise. Neither Is it denied
that the periodical has enhanced It's pres
tige and increased its subscription list due
Indirectly to the editors on special sub
jects." 1t is customary for editors to write
editorials, and there Is proof forthcOn-
ing that these editors on special subjects
did not conform to the custom of the pro-
feSsion, and express their scientific views
through the columns Of the Mining World,
Also, it is customary for editors to receive
compensation directly for their editorials
So, by adding two and two together, those
interested in the charges have convinced
themselves that much has transpired in
the geological survey which has not come
TO the attention of Colonel Rizer.

JUDGE GRANTS INJUNCTION
McPhersOn of Iowa Issues Tenn
pOrary Order in Suit of Rail-
roads of Missouri.

KANSAS CITY, June 16-Judge Smith
Mcpherson of Red Oak Ia. in the United
States district court here today, issued a
temporary injunction restraining the state
warehouse commissioners of Missouri and
the attorney general from enforcing the
maximum freight rate law which went into
effect today, and against three Kansas City
shippers, preventing the latter from claim
ing penalties under the law. The injunc-
ton was granted at the request of eight
cen railroads doing business in Missouri,
who brought suit against the state officials
on the ground that the rates provided in
the new law are prohibitive and would
amount to the coniscation of their prop
erty.
The suit against the three Kansas City
shippers is intended to cover the ship
pers OF the state a class and the order
of the court against them will restrain
them from bringing action against the rail-
ways under the law. The order of the
court is made returnable on June 26, when
the railroads will seek to have it made
permanent At that time District Judge
John F. Phillips will hear the case with
Judge Mcpherson.

ORIGIN TRANSFERS STRIKE
Grand Jury at Chicago Bears More sensa
tional Evidence.
lNSTlGATED BY RIVALS IN BUSINESS
Statement by Witnesses that Com
petitors of ward 4 Co. Were
BACK of the waIkout of
the Drivers.

| CHICAGO, June 16.-Although rumors Of
sensations in connection with the teamsters'
strike were flying thick and fast today,
| there was little tangible evidence to sup
port them. Assistant States Attorney Folk
| declared today that the evidence given to
the grand jury yesterday was of so start
ling character that It could only be paral-
leled once in thousand years. The testi-
mony given today, he said. maintained the
interest created by the evidence of yes
terday.
1t is unofficially declared that the grand
jury today devoted much of its time to
listening to the statements of witnesses
who declared that the strike against Mont
gomery Ward & Co., was instigated by
rival business houses.
Investigation Takes Wide Scope.
States Attorney Healy said tonight that
| the investigation has assumed scope so
extensive that the full session of the pres
ent grand jury which is to continue for the
next two weeks will probably be finished
before the inquiry is concluded. and that
special grand jury will be necessary to
dispose of the routine cases now pending.
The strike today was almost dormant.
But for the sight of policemen and deputy
sheriffs riding on delivery wagons there
would have been no evidence whatever that
strike was in progress. The business
houses and express companies have reached
| almost normal stage in their deliveries
There is no present probability of peace.
The employers association is resting and
the teamsters' joint council has decided to
meet only every other day. Nothing was
heard today about peace and there were no
evidences of strike on the streets. De-
liveries of goods In all lines are almost
normal While the statute of limitations
may bar indictments for conspiracy to
settle strikes by the use of money, It is
said to be certain that quite a number OF
indictments for manslaughter will be re-
turned against persons claimed to be re-
sponsible for deaths resulting from riots
due to the teamsters' strike.
Two hundred brickmakers employed by
the Chicago Brick company went out on
strike today because lumber was deiv-
cred at the plant by nonunion drivers en-
ployed by the Lumbermen's association.
