Miners Federation
Favors Socialism

Denver, Dol. July 2.-After a Ions
fight, which has threatened to disrupt
the Western Federation of Miners in
the tight with the Industrial Workers
OF the World, the miners Monday went
on record as favoring socialism by the
adoption OF a preamble to the constitu-
ton and bylaws of the organization.
The vote was 283 to Sc. The preamble
follows:
"First-We hold that there is a
class Struggle in society and that this
struggle is caused by economic condi-
tions
Second We affirm the economic
condition of the producer to be that he
Is exploited Of the wealth he produces,
being allowed to retain barely sufficient
for his necessities.
'Third-We hold that the class strug
gle will continue until the producer is
recognized as the sole master of his
product.
'Fourth-We assert that the work.
ing class, and it alone, can and must
achieve its W emancipation.
"Fifth-We hold, finally. that an
industrial union and the concerted pc
itical action of all wage earners is the
only method of attaining this end.
Sixth Therefore, we the wage
slaves employed in and around the
mines, mills and smelters of the world,
associated in the Western Fedora
ton of Miners, the mining department
the Industrial Workers of the
World"
1t is the announced intention of the
to call a convention at Chicago
the organization of an industrial
and political party, which will place a
ticket in the nomination for the next
presidential election.
The federation and the brewery
workers union, it is expected, will
form the nucleus oft he new party.
Before its final adoption the new
preamble goes to the local unions for a
referendum vote. The strikes and
.ckouts committee presented a report
which favored the continuing the

lnt1l the mineowners' card system
now in vogue there is abolished.
The convention adopted the report.
The delegates voted down the pro-
posed amendment to the constitution

washers and such classes of laborers as
ire only indirectly connected with
mining, into the mining department of

action was taken after a long de-
)ate by a vote.
An amendment to the constitution

FINE ARTS FOR NATION.
Movement for a Great Department of
the Capital.

the Capital
New York-The development of art
in the United States is ~forecasted in
a movement which has begun through
out the country for the establishment
at Washington of a national depart
ment of fine arts, the head of which
shall be a member of the cabinet.
Plans for the national department of
fine arts, which have just become
public, include the establishment of
athaneum, which shall have con-
troll V e a school of arts, and a con
servatory of music and the erection
of art galleries by the government in
many cities throughout the country.
Five large colleges are behind the
movement, which is being directed by
several leading architects in the
States. Senator Newlands of
Nevada, it is said, will bring up a
bill for the establishment of an art de-
parement at the next session of con-
gress if those who are interested in
the fine arts movement believe that
the time is ripe for seeking congress

NEW DEFENSE FOR CRIME.
Psychic Epilepsy is the Unique
Plea.

Psychic Epilepsy is the Unique
Plea.
DR.. Elmore E. Elliott of New York
hass escaped the meshes of the law
through a unique plea. He had been
arrested for brutally assaulting, with.
out provocation, a man and his wife
or the public street. Psychic epilepsy
defined as acute epilepsy, without any
external manifestations, was the de-
tense successfully offered.
DR.. Elliott in his W behalf, testi-
fed that he had been subject to at
tacks of psychic epilepsy since child
hood, and that during these attacks
he had no knowledge of his acts or
recollection of them upon recovery.
Medical testimony was offered to
sustain this plea, and the prisoner was
discharged.
Lawyers who heard the defense and
members of the district attorneys
staff continued to discuss DR.. Elliott's
strange statement long after the ply
sician had left court. They agreed
that its scope was practically limitless
and asserted that psychic epilepsy
would undoubtedly prove a successful
defense even for murder.
ut is the best defense l ever heard
and the best defense in the world,
said Assistant District Attorney Turn.
