Court Refused to Draw Glass Line.

I New Orleans, Nov. lI,-An attempt
to have Louisiana creoles placed IN a
class so distinct from other American
citizens that they would have differ
ent jury rights, failed Saturday in the
supreme court. T. N. Laborde, a cre-
ole, in appealing a forgery charge
maintained that the jury should have
been composed either entirely OF
largely of creoles. Ills counsel as.
serted that although l-aborde lived In
a parish where 80 per cent OF the
population was creole, nearly all the
Jurors were Americans, Creoles were
defined as descendants of French and
Spanish ancestry. The court did not
recognize this distinction.

Suits for damages aggregating $500,

trust and St., Louis county by striking
miners who have been shot or impris

Armed guards still patrol all trust
property and despite reports to; the

Within week twenty strikers have

About 1000 men have been brought
in by the steel trust to operate the
mines. To balance this the Western
Federation has sent $50 union miners
to other fields. The open pit mines
are operating with greatly reduced
forces, as are the stripping contract
ors. The underground mines, save
those of the independent companies,
are virtually idle.
Ten thousand strikers are still be-
