MINE WORKERS
MAKE HEAOWAY
After Many Years Rock
Springs, Wyo., Is About to
Become a Union Camp.
Especial to The Herald.)


Rock Springs. Wyo., May 22.-For the
first time in the history of the camp
the United Mine Workers are about to
succeed in organic ing the mines of
Rock Springs About 500 men of all
nationalities gathered in the opera
house last evening and were addressed
by several organizers Of district No. %.
Speeches were delivered in all the diff
ferent languages. and great enthusi
asm prevailed throughout the meeting
and the men seemed really anxious to
join forces.
The Union Pacific and Central Coal
& Coke companies attempted 10 dis
courage the men yesterday by posting
notices stating that they would not
support the union, and that any man
who Joined the same would be expect
ed to call for his time, but this failed
to have any effect, and it is believed
that about 300 men enrolled after last
nights meeting. This threat was put
into effect this morning and prOba bly,
100 men are idle.
Another mass meeting will be held
on Thursday evening, and what the
outcome of the whole matter will be is
difficult to state at the present time. AS
soon as the orga nization is complete
recognition Will be demanded from the
coal companies. and if il is refused con-
siderable trouble may result. The COM
panies have succeeded for many years
in keeping Rock Springs a non-union
camp. and the union has tried as hard
up to the present time to get it in. Sew
eral weeks ago three organizers came
here and secured work in the mines
and have quietly engaged among the
men and have at last aroused a feeling
among them for organization that it
will be impossible TO stop.

Opening Statement by HawIey.
Thorough Canvass Made.

Late yesterday afternoon the attorneys
for state and defense were served with a
list of the names drawn on the new venire
and have been busily engaged ever since
in examining into the qualifications or dis
qualifications of the men composing the
panel Both sides have had agents in
the county for several months past and
practically every man who has expressed
a decided opinion one way or the other
as TO the guilt or innocence of the accused
miners is known. This fact WAS illustrat-
ed on the part of the defense when on
two occasions talesmen in the jury box
were confronted by men with whom they
were alleged to have discussed the case
from a partisan standpoint.

Why the Public Is Shy.

Railroad securities ought to be a
favorite investment for the savings Of
the small and great alike. 1t is not a
feeling of apprehension that the peo-
pie will confiscate any railroads which
prevents permanent investment in rail-
road stocks, but rather uncertainty as
to the future of these stocks. When it
becomes certain that railroad stocks or
bonds cannot be issued without the
consent of the government and that
every dollar which comes from their
sales shall be legitimately- invested in
the property. and when no interstate
railroad can buy a dollar in the stock
of another railroad without the con-
sent of the government, railroad Sc
curities viii be much more likely to
assume their proper place in public
confidence.
Any comprehensive scheme of iegis-
lation should give 10 the railroads the
right to force and maintain traffic as
sociation ard 20 discuss and agree upon
competitive rates"

1t has been decided that James II. Haw-

today and they also spent some time con-
sidering the testimony to be offered next
week and the order in which it will be
offered.
1t has not yet been decided by the state
to call Steve Adams as a witness. He is
on the list OF the states witnesses and it
was for a time deemed certain that he
would be brought here and willing or un-
willing, be placed on the stand. but now
the matter is in doubt and will probably
not be determined until later.

FORAKER IS NOT
YET SATISFIED.
Senate Committee May Go to
Texas to Investigate the
Brownsville Affair.

Washington. May 22.-The senate COM
nlittee on military affairs, which is in
vestigating the Brownsville affray, held
an executive session at the close of the
hearing today to determine whether the
committee shall go to Texas to take tes-
timony- No agreement was reported.
Several members of the committee ar
gued that the testimony taken here
proves that negro troops did the shoot
ing and that nothing would be gained by
the trip. Likewise it was intimated by
several senators that there was no occs-
sion to call any more witnesses. Sena-
tor Foraker took exception to this and
was supported by the three or four sena-
tors who have sided with him. 1t was
decided to summon several more wit
nesses from Brownsville and to examine
the experts at the Springfield arsenal
who made the report on the shells picked
up after the shooting. The question of
going to Texas will then be considered
again.

Why the Lakes Are Blue.

Everybody wanted TO know why the
lakes looked blue. Jack Reeves attrsp-
uted the phenomenon to the partys state
of mind over the impossibility of making
a protrscted stay at Twin Falls. Fish
er Harris was sure that the blue was d
reflection from his own large blue eyes
The common theory is that the water
reflects the sky, but the notion is weak
ened somewhat by the fact that the lakes
are Just as blue on a cloudy as on clear
day. On one point. though, all are agreed.
That is that there is nothing blue about
the hospitality of the people of this sec
ton of Idaho. As has been the case with
other cities visited. the residents saw
to it that nobody had an idle minute.
One result of all the hospitality is a
mighty tired bunch of eXiles. They
march, yes, and seem gay, yes; but many
of them are keeping up on sheer nerve
and wondering whether or not they Will

Wrong Cannot Be Riehted.

''The government should exercise
some direct control over the capital ac-
counts. 1t is not possible to fix rates
so that a given Der cent will be re-
turned to the stockholders. Mr.. Harri-
mans options in Chicago & Alton does
not directly affect rates on that sys-
tenn, but they did create a system
which for all time is a perpetual in
ducement to the imposition Of unjust
charges. What has been done cannot
be corrected. All that has become

and unwise to disturb. but with re-
spect to the future We can prevent
repetition of the past When Mr.. HaT-
riman. by dealings like those in Chi
cago & Alton enriches himself to the
extent of many millions, he has not
created that money; he has merely
transferred it from the possession Of
some one else to himself.

Shoshone Falls.

The Shoshone Falls are about seven
miles from Twin Falls. There is no more
grandly inspiring sight in the country
than these falls. The water has sheer
drop Of more than 200 feet and today II
was boiling at the rate of hundreds of
thousands of gallons minute.
From the rim rock the scene was mar
velousiy beautiful Those of the visitors
who have seen Niagara Falls we're unit
I'm declaring that Shoshone Falls are inl-
mensely finer. One of the most remark
able features of the Sboshone Falls IS
the suddenness with which the traveller
comes upon them. The roar can be heard,
of course for a long distance, but there
is nothing about the country to indicate
the presence of waterfall or even of
river. The Snake runs here through
deep lava canyon and dozen feet from
the canyons rim the stranger in the
land would have no willows. no vegetation
of any sort TO let him know he was near
