A Card from Voters at the
Lancaster Cotton Mills.

Editor News--There appeared in
this W. ek's issue of the Lancaster
journal a card written by II. j. Strait
as follows:
MANY thanks to the many friends
of Lancaster county for their support
In the race for congress, and especial
" at the Cotton Mills, who voted a.
they pleased. notwithstanding the
Bosses whip and a set OF hireiings TO
try to influence them against their
Wills"
Mr. Editor, we suppose from the
above card of DR.. Strait that he meant
the Bosses made us vote their way.
and we think it but just and fair that
we the undersigned voters of the
Lancaster Cotton Mills, should de.
clare ourselves about the above card
First: We have never been ap-
preached in any way, shape or form
by any officer or Boss of the Lancas.
ter Cotton Mills about the way we
should vote.
second: We are free and inde.
pendent set of voters by the laws of
the United States, and we used that
right on August 2Sth when we voted
for Hon. ID. f.. Finley for congress, as
the most suitable man for the office.
without hatred or fear OF any man or
set of men. If r. j. strait or any one
else makes the statement that we were
made TO vote to suit any officer or
Boss OF the Cotton Mills it is an abso-
lutte falsehOod.

Turning Hose on Mexican Laborers

Special to The Herald.


SAWTELLE. July 7-Charles Mont
gomery, who was chief of government
scouts in the early days of New Mexico
and Texas, is resting here on his way
to Washington. He carries papers
which will be of use to the government
when the case is taken up officially.
"Old Monty" is a veteran Indian
fighter and frontiersman, was a friend
of Buffalo Bill and has spent thirty
eight years on the border.
He was present during the recent
troubles with that portion of Mexico
that borders on the United States and
the recent riots in Cananea and was
recently connected with the big copper
company of Col. w. c. Greene of Can
anea, Mex.
Captain Montgomery spoke of the
conditions that led to the recent riot
in Cananea, saying that the first ink
ling of the riot was in April and trouble
Kept brewing until the middle of May.
The Mexican laborers affiliated with
the Italians and Greeks until all de-
cided that their wages should be
raised and until a racial antipathy for
Americans eliminated in riot. They
approached George Metcalf on the sub
ject and he turned a water hose upon
them. Angry at this treatment they
stoned him to death. Then the presi-
dent of the company. Col. w. c. Greene,
and man named Dwight got together
and organized a band to hold the
strikers in check.

afternoon, by order of the city council,
that they would not be allowed to con-

The congregation simply moved into
