PRACTICAL ARBITRATION
Monsignor Coffey Again Called Upon to
Settle q Strike.

Scranton. Pa, Oct. 22.-The great
silk mill strike, which for several
months has tied up the silk industr- in
Wyoming valley, where about 1000
girls are employed, has beer settled,
and the girls have returned to work,
pending the decision of the arbitrator,
Rt. Rev. Monsignor Coffey, vicar gen.
eral of the Scranton diocese and pastor
Of Saint Rose church, who was chosen
arbitrator of this strike by both the
strikers and the mill owners. He was
waited upon by committees from both
sides. and the matter was left entirely
ton and settlement. the striking girls
will go back to work. His decision in
the matter is made binding to both
parties for a period of two years.
The selection. of Father Coffey as
arbitrator was satisfactory to the
striking girls. who feel that his judg-
ment and integrity are above question.
The demands of the girls are for an
and a slight advance in pay. Here
tofore they have worked for wages
ranging from so cents to 81 per day,
and worked 10k hours.
The employers say that it is impos-
sible for them to grant the demands of
the girls, by reason Of intense COM
petition in the silk industry.
Monsignor Thomas Coffey grew to
manhood near Rock Creek, in jefferson
county. Kansas, where a number OF
his relatives yet reside. He has a sis
ter, Mrs. M. G. Pryor, living in Topeka.
Some years 6 he was called uoon
by both operators and their employes
to arbitrate a strike Of several thousand
coal miners at Scranton. Following is
in. substance his own story of the af-
fair. He said: "I told the miners 1
would have nothing to do with the
matter until they returned to work.
all went back. I then mad an
investigation lasting some six weeks.
When his was completed I went to the
operators and told them my decision
was thai they should. increase the
wages of the men and they did It,"

TWO ITALIANS TELL AN AMAZING
 STORY.
Say There Ia PeonaEe Colony On Mis- sissippi Plantation at ROblnsOn- ville-United States District
 Attorney to Investigate.

St. Louis. July 24-The story told by Ameda and Olindo. two Italians, who said they had been held in slavery for tventy-two months on a Mississippi plantation and had just escaped, caused District Attorney Blodget to institute today an investigation into the alleged peonags.
 According to the story told by the Italians, through an interpreter, there Is a peonage colony of twelve Italian families, consisting of fifty persons. on a cotton plantation at Robinsonville, Miss. They said they had been held in peonage for twentytwo months and escaped from the plantation last Sun day. They declared armed guards pre- vented any communication with per- sons outside and any letters written were destroyed. Those who attempted to escape were fired on and after be- ing returned to the plantation were beaten with cowhide whips as an ex- ample. Regardless of age, every one on the place was compelled to do the hardest work from early morning until late at night. They had only the poor est food.
 After hearing the story, United States District Attorney Blodget imme- diately telegraphed to W. D. Frazee, United States District Attorney for the Northern District of Mississippi. The two fugitive Italians are being cared for by sympathetic countrymen.
