**MOTHER'' JONES
GIVES OUT STORY
Of an Anecdote That Occurred in
West Virginia in one of Its
Great Coal Strikes Several
Years Ago.

"Mother' Jones is full Of in
teresting anecdotes, which if put
into print would make capital
reading for all people interested in
the labor struggles of the times.
1t will be remembered that
Mother Jones was arrested in West
Virginia by order of Judge Jack
son of the federal court for violat-
ing an injunction issued by him
during the miners strike, in
which he attempted to restrain
Mother Jones and her associates
from feeding the striking miners.
GThe good little friend Of the
miners very naturally violated the
the Ubiquitous order, and was very
promptly notified Of her arrest by
the United States marshal. The
warrant was served while she was
delivering an address. After
reading the document she retorted
in her characteristic manner:
EGO and tell your judge that he is
the worst scab 1 know of. He
scabbed On his father.'
During the trial one Of the mine
owners attorneys asked the good
woman if she had not said that
Judge Jackson was a scab. Before
Mother Jones could reply the aged
jjuriSt turned in his chair, and
facing the prisoner asked with
ftrmncss what she meant by such a
charge.
Mother Jones not to be outdone,
proved equal to the occasion.
"Well you see judge" she be-
gan, cit was the first thought that
came to me when the warrant was
served, and l had to let it out.
1t didn't occur to me in 40 yeras.
But away back in the sixties !
read in one Of the Philadelphia
papers that President Lincoln had
appointed a lawyer by the name Of
Jackson on the federal bench for
West Virginia. l also remember
the stir about the appointment,
for the papers declared that the
initials of yourself and your father
were the same, and the commission
failed to state whether the APP
pOintment was for Jackson ST., or
Jackson Jr. 1t was also stated
that your father was out of the
country temporarily, and you took
the job. 1t was discovered later
that the appointment was intended
for your father. That is what l
meant when I said, you had
scabbed on your father"
This reply caused a general
laugh in the court room in which
the venerable judge participated
most heartily.
When the trial was over and
Mother Jones was acquitted Judge
Jackson sent for her, and in his
typical southern style greeted the
kindly old lady with, Judge
Jackson wishes to pay his compli-
mentS to Mother Jones. and at
the same time desires to assure
her that he did not scab on his
father"
II am glad of it," replied
Mother JONES' for it is, pleasing
to learn that I was not tried by a
scab judge

Tho Word "Strike."

The first use of the word strike" in
its present accepted sense occurred in
the great London Chronicle in 1865
In September of that year are numer-
Gus references to a great suspension
OF labor in the northern coal fields, and
golfers are stated to have "struck OUT
for higher wages.

farmers to hold sugar until price is more
settled, with expectation that higher
prices will prevail later. Furniture fac
tories in state are employed from one
half to three fourths time and in some
cases full time. New orders in this line
are coming in slowly A small increase
In demand for lumber is apparent, while
