,he wage scale agreement"

The wage scale agreement"
President Feehan said the strike had
been ordered because the P1ttsbury
Coal company had peTsistently violated
the agreement with the miners and
the union, and that the officials of the
miners union had become tired of the
promises and delays to rectify the
wrongs. Should the order to strike be
given fifty mines will be closed imme-
diately. The trouble over the alleged
violations of the wage agreement has
been in progress for many months.
Officials Of the Ptttsburg Coal COM
pany said that the grievances Of the
miners had never been made specific
to the company. They had tried TO
get them to show wherein any failure
had been made to live up to agree
ments, but in every case they had
failed. Organizers had been asked to
go with the executive officials to the
mines where the violations were COM
planned of and show them any viola
ton of agreements, but they had failed
to make a showing.

Leqend of the Violet.

A Latin poem Of the sixteenth cen
fury has a pretty legend Of a violet
that, in neurological days, was a
maiden called Ianthis, one of Diana's
nymphs She attracted the attention
of Apollo, whose admiration she did
not return. and, flying from his pur-
suit, she implored Diana to destroy the
beauty which occasioned her so much
trouble. Diana granted her request
and turned her face to a dull purple.
Ianthis, however, soon regretted the
loss OF her beauty and was pining
away with grief, when. the goddess
had pity on her and changed her into
a flower, which still shrinks from Apol-
10 (the SUM and hides her modest head
in the shade.

Doinq His Best.

The retirement of Col Matthias, the
man who led the Gordon Highlanders
when they stormed the heights of
Dargai some years ago, recalls a curl
Gus story of how he came to join that
famous regiment. The gallant colonel
is not a Scotsman, but a Welshman,
and it was owing to a slip of the pen
that he joined the renowned Seventy
fifth regiment. Il was intended" he
says, Ito go into the old Ninety-fifth
regiment, but nine and seven are
very much alike, and by a slip of the
pen l was gazetted to the Seventy
fifth" A story is told concerning Col.
Matthias when he was leading the IA
nous charge at Dargai. Stiff climb,
Ell, Mackie?" he said, breathlessly to
the color sergeant by his side. I'm
not so young as I was, you know"
Never mind, sir" the sergeant re-
piled, we're going vera strong for an
aul mon."-Tit-Bits

Naked Truth.

An encounter of wits once took place
between the late Eugene Field and a
New York woman. 1t was at dinner,
and the woman was in evening dress,
which was rather deconete. After a
skirmish between the two relative to
the respective merits of a well known
author it would seem that Field came
off second best.
"Oh, Mr.. Field" exclaimed the wo-
man exuitantly, you must admit that
you are fairly beaten at your own
gamer
Field bowed politely and. with a
smile, promptly rejoined, eat any rate,
Miss Blank, l have one consolation
you can't laugh at me in your sleeve"

STATE Is WATCHING THE CASH
PetrieIIa Makes Assertions the Conn
tSgt- panies Promptly Deny.

4g1 panies Promptly Deny.
Acting under the advice of the state
officials the steel corporation men have
instructed their superintendent not to
resist physical interference on the part
of the strikers, but to leave the pro-
lection of company property and work
men to the state officials, and in case
Of inability to resume on account Of
such interference they are instructed
to demand of the sheriff and the gov
ernor the protection the law guaran-
tees. Sheriff Bates will be on the range
in person to watch developments, and
1t is said that If there is interference
with which he cannot cope he will call
on the governor for troops. While the
steel officials believe the situation on
the range is still critical more optimis-
tic persons in Duluth believe the men
viii not prove unruly to a degree that
will require military interference.
Petriella, the strike leader, sent a
telegram to the governor stating that
strikers willing to leave the country
had been refused payment of their
vent the men from meeting in their
own halls, and that unless immediate
measures are taken by the governor
the men will be compelled to go into
a bodily conflict to safeguard their
rights. The governor replied TO Petriel-
la that the steel officials deny the
charges and that any resistance of the
kind threatened would call for armed
interference by the state.
After the vote had been taken by
the dock men to return to work they
sent a letter to Mayor Cullum which
for q moment sent a SILVER Of appre-
hension through the officials They
stated that the meeting had insisted
| that the boarding cars and armed
| guards be removed from the docks.
They said they had no objection to spe-
cial officers armed with the usual weap-
ons of a policeman. The railroad of
| Gals at once sent a letter to the may
or stating their willingness to do as
! the men requested. and withdraw all
armed guards except the city's special
/ officers.

Petitions to an Emperor.


One of the most interesting features
of the emperors visit was the number
of petitions which were, so to speak.
thrown at him during his fortnight's
stay. Scarcely once did his majesty
drive out from the Hradschin without
somebody attempting to present an
appeal Usually the petitioner was a
small child and occasionally a woman.
Most Of the requests were for pc
cuniary assistance. The emperor was
always extremely courteous, and
when. as frequently happened, the let
ter missed the carriage and fell into
the road he invariably ordered the
coachman to stop while the document
was brought TO him The household
chancery is now dealing with some
thing more than a hundred petitions
thus unceremoniously presented. All
of them are carefully investigated, and
whenever 1t is possible something is
done for the applicant-Prague CORE

Makes Some Charges Which
Are Promptly Denied.

Duluth, Aug. SHORTY before p.
m. yesterday the ore dock workers who
have been on a strike for recognition
of the union and a raise In pay voted
to return TO work. Neither of the is
sues raised by the men was granted
by the Duluth, Messabe and Northern
railroad, and the men returned to
work with their status the same as 1T
was the day they voted to strike All
of the employees are taken back by the
company without prejudice, and the
pay they have been receiving under a
verbal agreement with the company
which would not have expired until
Oct. 81 next will continue
1t Was Back Down or Lose Jobs.
The strike lasted about two and
half weeks, and was one entirely free
from any disorder whatever. There
were numerous conferences of the
strikers, and at three Of them letters
setting forth the position Of the com
pany were read. The railroad officials
| adopted a kindly tone in this final let
ter, stating that they were willing to
treat with their men individually or
by committee on an open shop basis,
and the men, realizing evidently that
unless they accepted the terms offered
by the company they would not be
able to get back their old jobs, voted
! to return to work.
Situation on the Range.
The news Of the ending of the dock
strike was flashed to Eveleth. Hibbing
and Nashwauk, the three storm cen
ters Of the mining region where trou-
BILE might originate. and the news was
received there with rejoicing Every
| thing at these points was reported
| quiet. A report received here from
Eveleth stated that the Adams-Spruce
mine, a large steel corporation prop
erty, would start operations today. The
settlement of the dock strike has paved
the way for resumption of mining
on the range. and while the steel of
f1cials will proceed to do business they
are apprehensive of trouble as soon as
work is begun.

Caring for the Wounded.

Such things as are found on the per-
son of the wounded or on The field Of
battle are used If a mans leg is
broken by a bullet the proper splints
would not be at hand. The broken
limb would be comfortably fastened to
his rifle by means of the gun sling, his
belt, handkerchief or necktie, and the
sufferer laid out and made as comfort
able as possible till the litter bearers
could carry him back to the rear, his
conteen being placed within reach. A
severed artery would receive a COM
press made by placing a small stone or
piece of wood against wad Of cloth,
and the makeshift twisted by means
Of a handkerchief Or belt and the bayO-
net or a tent peg. Maybe 1t would be
necessary to elevate the leg TO stop the
flow Of blood from a wound. This
would be done by means Of the rifle.
A man wounded but able to walk would
be showed how to use his rifle as a
crutch, and also to assist another man
to the rear for better treatment. Slings
the skirt of the coat or by ripping the
sleeve. Litters are improvlsed by
means of two rifles and a blanket, or
making use of the bed sack, shipping
off the corners and thrusting two rifles
through the holes And so on these
means might be named. The uniform
of the hospital corps is similar to that
worn by the other men of the army ex-
cept that the trousers bear stripe Of
emerald green piped with white down
the outer seam Of the trousers. On the
left arm above the elbow Is a white
brassard containing a red Geneva cross
On the cap is a white metal Geneva
cross, which, under the articles of the
Geneva convention, carries some i'm
munity to the members of the hospital
corps when engaged on duty in the field
GERS of our army are instructed by
means of lectures and object lessons
in this most important duty OF first aid
and many cases might be cited where
the lives Of brother officers or comrades
have been saved where accidents have
occurred on hunting trips far from
skilled assistance, but where the simple
rules taught at military posts have
been made use of and resulted in prop
erly treating the wounded until the
post was reached and the surgeons aid
invoked.
