Coal Miners
Quit Work
General Walk out in the Northwest
Territory Railroads Crippled
Through Lack of Fuel

Bellingham, Wash, April ia spe-
cial from Vancouver, b. c., says a ser.
ious condition Of affairs exists on the
Canadian Pacific railroad on account
Of the coal miners strike in the
Crows Nest Pass mines and at Alber.
Ia. Orders were issued from the head.
quarters of the western division here
today that nothing but passenger
trains pnd perishable freight trains
are TO be run over the lines, and all
freight steamers are TO be taken of
their runs. The supplies of coal on
hand can not last more than two or
three days. IL the Vancouver island
miners are called On to supply the
railways, il is likely to precipitate a
strike in these mines. The order COW
ers the main line from Winnipeg to
the coast. the Crows Nest Pass line
and all branch lines.
Alberta Strike Complete.
Winnipeg, April l9.-Reports Of the
coal strike of Alberta show that with
a few exceptions every miner is out
and the remaining few will likely come
out tonight.
The situation throughout the west
is most critical and already the Cana.
dian Pacific railroad has eonfiseated a
number ears of coal along its system
to keep their locomotives running.
Strike Still on at Fernie.
Calgary, b. c., April l9.-The Fernie
coal strike is still on, but another
meeting between the miners and the
operators has been arranged to take
place in Fernie April 26. II is ex.
pected that all the miners will go TO
work again.
The Canadian Pacific railroad has
about ten days. coal supply on hand.
Vancouver, b. c., April 19.-Prac-
tically all the coal mines in eastern
British Columbia and Alberta are
closed.
The men have quit work. but not
definitely gone on strike, so that
they may not be prosecuted under a
Dominion government law. Sherman
and Patterson, his assistant, both state
that the men are pressing them to
issue strike order, no doubt on ac-
count of the ambiguous position they
occupy, thus quitting work without
any definite arrangements.
May Be strategical Move.
There is much doubt about the ac-

ORGANIZED LABOR AROUSED

The statement of President Roosevelt
in a letter to James s. Sherman, re-
garding the Hartman controversy, re-
which he refers to Debs, Meyer,
and Haywood as undesirable citizens
has raised a storm of protest among
the labor unions and aroused to action
those few that were hitherto luke
warm. The Executive Committee of
the Moyer-Haywood Protest Confer.
ence Of New York, representing over
three hundred labor organizations,
with membership aggregating more
than two hundred thousand men, ad-
dressed an open letter TO the presi-
dent protesting against the stand he
has taken in this matter and asking
him to "make such public amends as
any true gentleman is bound to offer
when inadvertently he has made a mis-
take and inflicted grievous wrongs
upon men who have nothing to do with
his personal quarrel"
The Central Federated Union Of
New York adopted a motion calling
upon Roosevelt to retract his state
ment that Meyer and Haywood are
undesirable citizens"
The Boston Central Labor Union
adopted resolution eondemning
Roosevelt for ''usurping prerogatives
which neither the laws nor the con-
stitution of the United States gave
him.
At the last meeting Of the Brook
lyn Meyer Haywood Conference
Roosevelt's attack upon Meyer, Hay
wood and Debs in the Hartman con-
troversy was warmly discussed, and a
committee was appointed to draft reso-
solutions Of protest for the president q
enlightenment"
In Cincinnati, Cleveland, Chicago
Denver and other cities similar action
has been taken and II seems as IL this
last snarl from the president has done
more TO clear the fog away from the

little matter as law, justice, trial
and evidence seem never to have en-
tered his official mind.
This is great game being fought
out here in Idaho-a game of life and
death with Property holding the
stakes.
Did the working men but know the
game there would be no question as

Comrade John W. Brown has been
assigned one month work in the state
Of Connecticut, under the direction of
state committee, for the particular
purpose of agitating against the pro-
posed primary election law, which
provides for enormous filing fees for
each political candidate, and thereby
particularly assails the political oppor.
tunities of the working class.

tion of quitting work without calling
il a strike, secretly ordered, and all
falling into line, being strategic
move to evade violation Of the clause
of the act.
Sherman says he will not pay strike
allowance wages because he can get
around that by paying a working al.
lowance. 1t looks as though the op-
orators had broken the law in posting
notices Of reduction pending the dis
pute. The Canadian Pacific railway
at Fernie has only hundred and
ninety tons of coal on hand and that
brought in from Frank, which worked
yesterday.
smelters' Supply Short.
The supply of slack for the coke
ovens will not likely last longer than
today, and the supply for the smelters
will drop off, even If the Canadian
Pacific has enough coal to warrant the
moving of it. which is doubtful.
The Canadian Pacific railroad has is.
sued notices that pone but perishable
freight will be handled in Kootenay
until the situation is relieved.
The Winnipeg board of trade today
passed a resolution advocating the
bringing in of cheap Chinese labor to
take the places of the men who have
left. About 5000 men have thrown
down their tools.
Canadian Pacific Road Faces Tough
Problem.
Bernie, b. c., April 2O.-The coal
strike situation is becoming acute
throughout the new provinces and
British Columbia. One thousand min
ers quit work at Bankhead, Carman,
Lethbridge and other points today.
They are resolute in the face of threat.
ened arrest under the law for quitting
work pending arbitration.
John Mitchell wired President Sher.
man Thursday night, advising him to
keep the men at work. Sherman takes
the position that the men are evading
the law by quitting individually with
out a regular strike order. The new
law makes no provision for imprison.
ment, but merely fines.
Transportation difficulties are in.
ereasing generally, and boards Of trade
form Regina to Vancouver are peti.
tioning the government to take some
action to prevent further trouble.

After leaving Scherrer on the Min
adoka branch, Monday morning, my
next stopping place was Rupert. Here
was met by Q host Of old comrades,
well experienced in the movement. II.
E. Woodruff, formerly of stevensville,
Mont, and his son Joe were there,
Comrade Nelson and his wife Of the
San Francisco Local, who participated
in the Lotte fountain incident, Com
rade Ericsson Of San Francisco and Los
Angeles and number Of others. The
hall had been engaged, but after sizing
up the situation / concluded that a
street meeting was preferable. Com

Government Ownership.
The chief subject of grumbling and
dissatisfaction in the new town is the
postmaster, one Schilling. This mod
ern Shylock has made a habit Of run
ming cheap predatory business in al
most every new town in southern Ida
no, until pushed out by those who re-
fused to pay his thievish prices. He
is getting in his graft in good shape
now in the new government town of
Rupert. BY some hook OF crook he
has got the postoffiee in his talans. He
is one of the tools Of the Gooding ma
chine, and has been appointed to some
place of reward by the Chief High
Kidnapper. His conduct of the office
has been most nefarieus, vet an spite
of his unholy practices he has been
recommended for the place again by
Congressman French. Ninety per cent
of the people are opposed to him, and
look upon his reappointment as a pub
lie calamity. On account of the un-
satisfactory service numbers have tax

of Scherrer and Hepburn. His pet OBJ
!ject of aversion is socialism. He holds
up the socialist papers, harangues peo-
pie on the Nervousness of getting such
literature, treats socialists with the ut
most rudeness and contempt, and puts
every possible obstacle in the way of
their getting their mail. Strangers
can even reach around and open the
United States money till, or get their
own mail, but socialists can drive
wearily into town and drive out again
without their mail.
Another circumstance that acts as
red flag to his bullship is the send.
ing Of orders to Chicago department
stores. He runs joint stocked with
the most horrible goods at the most
horrible prices. It's the store first
and the public business last, and the
spot allotted to the United States postal
service makes Chinese hop den look
respectable.

ter county, Georgia, chaingang, max

escaDino disarrled TWO Of the three

yicls deriding him, as he sprlnteo
after the fourteen escapes, who had
been gone some hours.
Another -ccnvic1, Brady heddlch'
found the gun of the decamplns

This brilliant feat OF negro con-
