MINERS WILL STRIKE.


h.
Up Till Better Pay Is Secured.
indianapolis, Ind, Feb g. The re-
lection of the counter proposition offer
ed by the coal operators OF the central
competitive district by an almost unan-
imous vote of the National convention
OF the United Mineworkers, and the
adoption of a resolution offered by Sec
rotary Ryan, of Illinois, placing the
miners on record as unit in refusing
to sign an agreement for any district
until an agreement was signed for all
districts under the Jurisdiction OF the
United Mineworkers, has created a
situation which, in the opinion OF the
officials of the miners organization,
will result in the disruption of the
joint agreement and probably one OF
the greatest strikes of organized labor
the country has ever known.
Immediately after the rejection OF
the operators proposition the conven-
tion set about to provide means for &C
cumulating strike fund OF 5000, 900
in addition to like amount now on
deposit in the International, district
and sub district treasures OF the min
ers' organizations. To provide for an
emergency Secretary Wilson moved
that per capita tax OF 81 week be
voted and that all districts take care Of
the dependent miners within their
jurisdiction tor at least six weeks.
He said that after that time he believed
the international organization would be
in position to take care of the miners.
After the motion had been amended to
substitute ten weeks for six as the time
during which the districts should care
for their dependents, the matter was
referred to the International executive
board with power to act.

RIOTS AT CHURCHES.
Catholics Resist Entrance by Officers
of French Republic.

|
Paris. Feb. 2. Everywhere in
France the actual putting into opera
ton OF the clause of church and state
separation bill which provides for the
making of inventories of the property
of the churches has aroused a storm OF
protest. In several provincial parishes
Catholics have gathered in the churches
and made such strong resistance that
the government commissioners were
unable to enter the edifces.
In Paris today violent scenes took
place In several churches, notably that
OF st. Clothilde. An inventory of the
property of the church of st. Roche has
not yet been made, owing to the op-
position of the congregation, but the
defenders of the church of St. Clotbilde
succumbed before the assault of an
armed force which acted on the ayowed
intention of the government to use
every means at its disposal to compel
obedience to the enactment.
In the chamber of deputies this after
noon Premier Rouvier replied to an in
terpellation on the subject by Social
ist deputy. The government, however
secured vote of confidence nv 384
against 1855, after the premier had
assured the chamber that the govern

Dunno in Speech.

Chicago, June 16.-Carrie Nation, the
"hatchet wielder," late of Kansas, now

of her characteristic beratings of the

Gus" has given up her radical system
for the more peaceful and lucrative one
of lecturing, she retains her old-time
manner, and last night President
Roosevelt, Mayor Dunno and the dem
ocratic and republican parties were
treated to fierce arraignment.
After describing President Roosevelt
as a snake charmer and a president
who has done more talking than any
ten other presidents of the United
States Mrs. Nation asserted that all
chance of future salvation for follow
ers of either party was gone unless
they Joined forces with the prohibitions
lists and ousted the saloons from the
country.
Calls Roosevelt Snake charmer.
in a dream saw two large snakes.
One had head and one didn't" she
declared. "One was the republican
party and the other was the democrat
ic. The democrats have no head, but
Roosevelt is the head Of the republic
cans. He is the snake charmer He
has done more talking than any other
ten leaders of the nation, but did you
ever hear him say anything against
saloons? No, sir. He's the kind of
president the devil wants. But just
you wait. Wait for the last day. Their
the republicans and democrats will be
on the devils side and we prohibitions
lists will be on Gods side as we are
now. God will have the hatchet then
and you can expect it soon. 1 do. I
expect my savior any day."

Supper will be served in the saloon
below" and the other that -Four

Nation bowed repeatedly to the ap-
plause of the thirty-siX persons present
when she came on the stage. A look
of disgust was given to the decora tions
of the hall. several of which depicted
men and women in decollete garb ap-
parently not to the liking of the speak

and warmed up to her subject at once

laughter from the saloon beneath the
hall foated into the room, but it was
drowned by the strength of Mrs. Ma

How to Pluck an Ostrich.

"The pluclSing of the birds is the
most interesting thing about an ostrich
farm" said the ostrich farmer. I'll
tell you how it's done:
"The ostriches are driven, one at
a time, into the plu ,king STALL This
is a very solid stall of wood, six feet
square. five feet high, and unroofed.
When the stall door il; shut, the ostrich
inside can't move about. and can't
harm the pluckers, working on him
from without.
ut is on the ostlich's wings that
the pluckers work, for only on the
wings do the plumes grow. These
plumes may either be cut or pulled.
The better method is the latter one.
"a good plucker takes hold OF
feather as near the sllin as he can get.
He presses on the q, i'll, as if to stick
it farther into the ;lesh, and at the
same time he turns l.. half way round.
This loosens it. 1t low comes out as
readily as a rose comes off rose
bush. There is no ps.in to the ostrich,
and i'm the skin where the feather had
been there is no wound, and not even
any soreness.
can ostrich does not look, after
plucking, as odd as you'd think. He
doesn't look at all nu lie. For, you see,
only his wing feathers are attacked,
and even Of them al but the biggest
and finest are spared

Frightfll Situation Reported
From Bialystok, Where Mas
sacres Took Place
GOVERNMENT is HELPLESS
Gravity of the General Situation in
Russia Increased by the Outbreak
Against the Jews--Authorities Held
! Responsible for kilograms Which
4 Started the Uprising.

Berlin, June ia dispatch from
Bialystok, dated 2:40 p. M. says:
.'Plundering and numbering continue.
The troops are in possession of the
city, which is on fire. Fires are con-
tinually breaking, out. The situation
is frightful. A few Jews, thru high
payments, have been allowed to es-
cape"
St. Petersburg June 16.-Afternoon
An unconfirmed run,or Is in circula-
ton to the effect that anti-Jewish OUT
breaks have occurred at Brest-L -Litovsk
and Wilma. 1t is also reported that a
Catholic priest was torn to pieces at
Bialystok, but this is officially de-
MED.
The gravity of the general situation
grows hourly. The bourses of ST.
Petersburg and Moscow are in pam
icky condition, and social democrats
and social revolltionists, considering
parliament to be negligible quantity,
are pushing their campaign for an
armed uprising, with Increased vigor.
Demonstrations are daily occurring in
the streets of Moscow in favor of a
general strike, with which proletariat
leaders are trying to precipitate a con-
fiict. Agitation among the workmen
here has reached the boiling point and
patrols are agairl in heavy force in
the Industrial quarters. In the coun-
try the rural guards are throwing in
their lot with the peasants, refusing to
protect landlords. The progress of the
revolutionary propaganda in the army
ts seriously alarming the government
and to add to the. popular excitement
comes the massacre Of the Jews at
Bislystok. While reports conflict as
TO Immediate responsibility for the
outbreak, the authorities here cannot
escape responsibility for the provoca-
tive black hundred kilograms which
they caused to be printed thruout
Russia, appealing to the worst pas
sions of the mob against the Jews as
enemies of the country. Martial law
has been declared at Bialystok and
troops are being rushed to the scene.

Roosevelt Answers WadswOrth' S

HOPES TO SEE CHANGE MADE
Representative Adams, of Wisconsin,
Another Member of the Committee,
Said to be Ready to Accept Changes
in the House Substitute for the Bev-

eridse Amendment.

Washington, June 16.-President
Roosevelt has added another chapter
to the literature of the meat inspection
controversy. 1t was not thru any de-
between himself and Representative
Wadsworth, chairman of the house
committee on agriculture, was publish
ed in its entirety. Inasmuch, however,
as Wadsworth deemed it desirable the
letter should be published and gave
them to the public, the president re-
CARDS it as proper to complete the COR
respondence thus far exchanged by
publication of his reply to the Wads-
worth letter.
In his letter, the president, while
admitting his error in stating the
house substitute contained no provis-
ion for making of inspections of pack
ing at all hours of the day or night,
says the substitute still is inadequate
to meet the requirements of the situ-
alton. The president says that after
a conference with Representative
Adams, the Wisconsin member of the
agriculture committee, he is convince
ed that Adams will accept the sugges-
tions made to him regarding the bill.
These changes include elimination of
the court review proposition, and a
dozen other alterations. In the opin-
ion of the president. the suggested
changes would make the house COM
mittee substitute as good as the Bev-
eridge amendment The president
adds that he is not concerned about
the language of the amendment. but
with the accomplishment of the object
in view, a thorough and rigid. and not
a sham Inspection

by unfair means the control of the con-
vention from them would be resisted
to the finish. as it would be contrary
to the evident returns from the eau

called the convention to order this at
ternoon he announced that as Repre-
