Quiet at Ore Docks and Mines
Today But Trouble Antici-
pated Because Of Speech
DOCK MEN RETURN TO WORK
PetrieIa Advises Miners to Take Law
in Own Hands, Arm Themselves and
Strike to Kill - Crisis Will Be
Reached in. Twenty -four Hours -
Big Strike in Russia.

Duluth, Aug. 1.-Work on the ore
docks began promptly this morning
with 243 men. More are to be put to
work as the day advances. There is no
trouble. In the range country every !
thing is reported quiet and hundreds
of men are at work today in both the
Hibbing and Eveleth districts.
.sThere was no violence of any kind
this morning, but it was feared tho
cause of the most trouble which was
anticipated was an inf1amatory speech
by Petriella before mass meeting OF
strikers at Chisholm last evening.
Petriella's speech was repeated in four
different languages. It had a most no.
ticeable effect on the men. He said the
moment was at hand when the miners
should take the law into their own
hands. He ordered the men to arm
themselves and be prepared to strike to
kill. He said he did not care how many
of them were killed for the cause and
urged the men to fight to the last.
Petriella said he had wired the gov
ernor. who replied that he would make
q personal investigation.
Il want you to give them twenty
four hours and If at the end Of that
time justice is denied us, be ready to
strike at the head of any man who
tries to crush you"
He advised the men to keep within
their halls and guard them with rifles.
The Western Federation Of Miners. he
said, was behind them.

AWFUL CRIMES CONTINUE.
Body Of Murdered Girl Found in New
York Tenement Cellar.

New York Aug. 1.-The excitement
caused in this city by the recent
atrocious crimes against women and
children, was greatly increased today
by the discovery Of the body of an s.
year-old girl in the cellar of an east
side tenement. The child had been
assaulted and murdered, and there
were marks on the throat indicating
that perhaps she was strangled.
Suspicion that the child was choked
TO death, taken in connection with the
murder of Sophie Kohrer and of the
unidentified woman by strangulation.
leads the police to believe there is d
maniac at large in the city who posses
ses an insane impulse to kill women
and children by the same method. The
body of the child was identified as
Katie Dritschler daughter of a Ger
man waiter. She had been missing for
a week.
An examination Of the body showed
that she was killed In exactly the same
manner as Sophie Kohrer was MUIR
dered. Deeply imbedded in ths flesh
of her neck was found hair ribbon,
probably taken from her own hair,
drawn tightly and knotted.

of the heavy, rapidly moving south
bound cars struck him, throwing him
against north bound car and between
the two and under their wheels he
was crushed.
In the middle Of the street intersec-
tion the motormen brought their cars
to a stop For moment muffled cries
of pain came from under the trucks,
while an excited crowd of men ran
around the cars and craw1ed on their
hands in knees in efforts to locate the
victim.
Motorman F. A. Langhart, Of the
north-bound car started to draw ahead.
but the crowd stopped him. crying out
that the man was under the wheels.

ties, the disorders are Recommending
early this morning, as this dispatch Is

The strike is serious. It would ap-s
pear to be the beginning Of big labor
war, and the workmen's unions arel
prepared for q long struggle. The im-s
mediate cause Of the outbreak yester4
day was the course pursued by the po-
lice during the past eight days. in

principal socialist leaders have been
thrown into Jail, and the police have
been 50 energetic in their measures
against the. unions, that they have
united the social democrats, Polish So
cialists and nationalists, parties who
up to the present time have been
waging merciless war, accompanied
by daily murders and outrages among
themselves. A general strike has been
declared by the social democrats and
Polish socialists. They have called out
$4,000 union men, and the nationalistss
have been forced to join the COMMITTEES
Of amalgamated unions. This commit
tee has ordered all business in Lodz
to cease, and is enforcing its orders
with armed men. Several shopkeep-
ers refused to shut up and have BEEN
shot.
Yesterday bands Of laborers wrecked
number OF street cars. and later used
the cars as barricades from which to
stone the police. The disorders grew
az the day wore on. At in the after
noon the military forces modified,
but there was no engagement with the
workmen until 9 last night. At this
hour the opposing forces came togeth :.
er in the center Of the town. The fight
ing was serious and prolonged. The
workmen fired several hundred shots
from automatic pistols. and did not
disperse until they had been charged
by the cavalry At least thirty men
were killed or wounded. The town was
patrolled constantly last night by de-
tachments of cossacks and dragons.
