SENTENCE DAY
IN CIRCUIT Court

According to an established custom
throughout Mississippi. this being
Friday and the last week of the Cir
cult Court term, the time Of the court
has to-day been consumed in passing
sentence upon those who have been SO
unfortunate as to be found guilty
during the three weeks the court has
been in session.
While there have been no cases Of
extraordinary interest tried during
this term, there have been several in
volving penitentiary sentences, and
while they are all comparatively light,
yet some Of them were sufficiently
heavy to cause the guilty ones to med
itate upon the errors of their ways
and to correct them in the future.
Tomorrow will be the last day of
the present session of court, and It
is hardly probable that more than one
or two more cases will come up for
hearing, these being of minor import
ance, such as will only involve SEN
fences on the county farm in case the
accused are found guilty.
The present term of the court has
been an unusually busy one, as there
were many cases continued from the
last term and a number of appeal
cases which were carried up from
the city court and the various justice
courts. ffWTi

long illness, Mrs. Nathan Tiekoff was
a helpless prisoner in her room in the
third story of the fire-swept house at
No. 1881 Lombard street, until John
Kold, a 19-year-old boy, fought his
way through the smoke and flames to
her side and carried her to safety.
Mrs. Tiekoff, who is 60 years old,
was awakened about three o'clock in
the morning by smoke. She tried to
sit up in her bed and called to her
sons and daughters sleeping in the
room behind her. The children were
sleeping too soundly to be reused and
the aged woman was compelled to
watch in agony the slow curl of
smoke under. the doorway and hear
the roar Of the flames eat the lower
stairways.
The smoke attracted the attention
of passerby and Kold and Harry
Beckman broke down the front door.
Kold knew of Mrs. Tiekoff's condition
and hastily tying a handkerchief over
his nose and mouth he climbed the
stairs. The door OF Mrs. Tiekof1' 8
room was locked, but the panels gave
way under his shoulder. Mrs. Tiekoff
was almost overcome, but Kold picked
her up and started down stairs. The
lower fight was almost burned
but he Jumped several of the gaps and
gained the street.
Mrs. Tiekoff was sent to the Poly
clinic hospital, where she was re-
vived.
Meantime her sons, Jacob. aged Is.
and Harry. seven years old, and her
little 11-year-old daughter, were asleep
in the third story back. The noise
made when Kold ran upstairs awak-
ened the children and Jacob decided
not to try the stairs. Instead he
boosted" the two children to the roof
of the house through a trap door. A

PETER POWER WRITES
ON live LABOR
TOPICS

Iand these mills hold the key to
the situation.
Ralph M. Easley, chairman of
the National Civic Federation,
has gone to Europe for the pur-
pose of forming similar organi-
zation in Great Britain and per-
haps in some of the continental
countries. Mr.. Easley was the
promoter of the N. G. F., which
was launched for the purpose of
conciliating, arbitrating or COM
promising disputes between labor
and capital.
AS is well known. Andrew Car
Inegie, August Belmont, H. G.
Prick, Judge Gary, Geo. Perkins
and many other great capitalists
Of the country are members of the
federation, as are Samuel Com
lpers, John Mitchell, Daniel Keefe,
James Duncan and other labor
officials.
The point is that while Carne-
gle. Perkins, Prick and their
friends pretend to believe in set
thing labor disputes by collective
bargaining, they refuse to act con-
lsistently when put to the test,
snub their labor colleagues in the
federation and insist upon smash
ing up the unions.
The N. G. F. having proven a
failure in the matter of prevent
ing strikes, and having developed
into pink tea affair, the Easley
mission to Europe is foredoomed.
When Easley's proposed trip was
announced some of the leading
British labor officials declared
that they had no desire to be
chloroformed.
Machinery is steadily driving
men from the mines. The Unit
ed States geological survey has
just issued it's report for 1908.
1t shows that last year over 1884,
100000 tons of bituminous coal
were mined by machinery, or
nearly 3s per cent of the total
output.
The rapidity with which the
machines are being installed is
highly significant. The total num-
Der of machines in use in 1903
was 665S. Inside of five years
the number increased to 1860.
The machines can produce from
10000 to $4,000 tons of coal each
lper year.
The number of work days of
the miners are, quite naturally,
decreasing steadily. Few of them
work full time. Two or three
days week, and in many places
not that much, is their average.

MORGAN'S WAR
AGAINST UNIONS
PROGRESS OF
STEEL STRIKE
MACHINERY IN
THE MINES
BY Peter Powers.

The threat made by ]. Pierpont
Morgan to demolish every form of
labor union in the United States
Steel corporation is being made
good so far as he and his mana
gers are concerned, but not ac-
cording to the men involved.
Not only has the trust thrown
off the open shop mask in dealing
with the iron, steel and tinplate
workers and the seamen on the
lakes, but the corporation has now
declared war upon the miscel-
laneous trades.
Secret instructions have Just
been sent to all mill managers to
discharge all machinists, mold
ers, carpenters, painters, brick
layers and other workmen who
may be suspected of being con-
nected with unions, or who even
express sympathy with the or
ganization idea. Scores of these
workers are now being weeded
out.
The trust has ceased to en-
deavor to humbug its workmen
or the public with open shop pre-
tensions. 1t proclaims the closed
shop-closed to union men.
During the past 10 days have
visited number of the strike
centers and talked with many
tinplate workers, officers and
men. Summarized, the situa-
ton is this: The Amalgamated
association lost one plant par
TALLY and secured two former
nonunion plants, with the chances
favorable to closing down one or
two more almost any day.
Up to the present the number
of nonunion workmen to walk
out of the trust mills exceeds the
number of union men, and hun
dreds of the former have Joined
the Amalgamated.
The trust is offering unheard
OF wages and longtime contracts
to skilled workmen to desert the
union. but few have accepted what
they designate 1.-The dirty silver
pieces"
At this juncture the unions are
devising ways and means to fl
nance the strike for a year or
more.
In the near future it is likely
that the three national organiza-
lions involved in the iron and
steel strike will form a close feds

Hundreds of nonunion work
men in trust plants have express

the contest, and have secretly
Joined the unions.
AS has been stated in this pa
per, the trust has, despite re-
peated denials, formulated a scale
providing for a reduction in wages
ranging from 2 per cent to Is per
cent.
On the other hand, the trust
has one great advantage. There
are sufficient tinplate plants in
the country to supply all the de-
mands of the market in six
months operation. Thus the
nonunion mills are able to par
