Radically With Views Of
Labor Leaders.

TO GRANT DEMANDS WOULD
MEAN VERITABLE REVOLUTION

New York, Mar 21.--The demands
of the anthracite miners for a read
justment Of wages and conditions In
the anthracite field would, II granted
mean a veritable revolution i'm mining
conditions. according to a statement
issued by the operators committee of
seven today. The statement declares
ii is a mistake to assume that the
eight-hour day and ten per cent In
crease is the sum total of the demands
of the miners. "A new and uniform
scale" says the statement, would
place every man on the same basis
increasing the wages Of some men as
much as $50 per cent. The average
increase under uniform scale would
be 80 per cent for outside men. The
proposed schedule would mean ver-
table revolution in mining condi-
tions."

MANIFESTO IS
DISAPPOINTING
RUSSIAN PEOPLE HAVE
YET NO BILL OF RIGHTS

ST. Petersburg, Mar. 21.-The inn
perial manifesto and ukases of Marcn
which incorporate in the fundamen-
tai law of the empire the provisions
for a national assembly in Russia pro-
missed in the manifesto last fall. are
disappointing in many respects. They
constitute neither q constitution or a
bill of rights" for the Russian peo-
pie. They do create popular assem-
bly,, but the promises granted to 1t are
so hedged about with restrictions and
conditions that 1t will be rather par
lament in name than in fact New
ertheless, by the terms of the mani
festo the emperor himself is power
less to revoke what he has now given.
This constitutes the great victory
which the people have won. They at
least have an authoritative medium
through which they can make their
voice heard, and 1t is In this assem-
bly, probably that the great historical
struggle against prerogative and priv
ilege will be fought out.

Washington, Mar. 21.-Reports have
reached here of the weakness of the
gun mounts of the battleship Oregon,
but it is known one of the keel plates
was somewhat injured six or eight
months ago. Orders were given at
that time not to fire the big guns.

LIBEL ACTION
First TEST Of Law 10 MuZzIG
New Mexico Press.
MORNING JOURNALS MANAGER
WILL PLEAD TO CHARGE TODAY

As forecasted in the Morning Jour
nal yesterday in a dispatch from San
ia Fe, a warrant was served on d. A.
Macpherson, president of the Morn
ing Journal yesterday morning by
Deputy Sheriff J. Lopez, of Santa Fe
county, upon an Indictment returned
by the Santa Fe county grand jury,
charging criminal libel in Connection
with the publication by the Morning
Journal of the news of the filing If
charges of an unsavory nature, before
the senate committee on territories
against j. Wallace Reynolds, secre-
tary of New Mexico, prior to the con-
firmation of that official by the sem
ate.
Mr.. Macpherson at once furnished
bond in the sum of 81 1000 for his ap-
pearance before Judge McITie in Santa
Fe today, when he will plead to the
charge contained in the indictment.
Mr. Macpherson and his counsel,
Mr.. A. B. McMillen will go to Santa
Fe this morning.
Considerable interest was expressed
in this city yesterday in the action of
the Santa Fe county grand jury in
bringing this indictment, and the mo-
tives lying behind it, and the progress
of the case will be watched with close
attention i'm Albuquerque.
McCutcheOn to Appear for Hearing.
The deputy sheriff remained in AL
buquerque all day yesterday waiting
the return of J. II. McCutcheon, of
the Industrial Advertiser, who was
out of town. and who has also been
indicted by the Santa Fe county grand
jury on a similar charge, The state
ment was made by one or two people
yesterday that McCutcheon was avoid
ing the service of the warrant. This
statement has no foundation. A num-
ber of business men of unquestioned
standing made the announcement yes
terday that they would gladly go on
McCutcheon's bond for any reasonable
amount in order that he might partlc-
ipate freely In any proceeding which
may arise against him. One business
man who is able to make good his
word declared that he would gladly
sign McCutcheon's bond for $500 in
this particular proceeding.
There is pretty general impression
not Onlv in Albuquerque but through
out New Mexico, according to reports
received by the Morning Journal yes
terday. that this case will present
some features of peculiar public in
terest before IL Is completed.
This case, should II come to trial,
will be the first test I'm court of the
archaic libel law, passed by the last
legislature with the open and avOwetl
intent of placing u muzZle on the un-
subsidized press of New Mexico AMI
passed at the behest of and for the
protection of corrupt public officials
who fear the publication of the news,
and who stand in far greater fear of
honest criticism.
