MINE WORKERS
 ARE ENJOINED

Richmond, Va, March 13.-By dismiss ing the appeal of the United Mine Work CTS of America, the United States circuit court of appeals practically perpetuates a temporary injunction which is of sweeping character.
 The case is that of President Lewis of tine Mine Workers, as an individual and as president of the union, against the Hitchman Coal and Coke company of West Virginia and is an appeal from the decision of the United States circuit court for the Northern district of West Virginia at Phillippi
 The injunction restraints the union from Interfering with employees of the company for the purpose of unionizing the mine; from interfering and conspiring to inter- fere with employees of plaintiff so as know ingly to bring about in any manner the breaking by the plaintiffs employees of contracts for service. exciting at the time or thereafter entering into; from tres- passing on the company's property; from compelling by threats of violence any em- ploy to leave; from establishing pickets around the property of the company for the purpose of using violent or, threaten ing or persuasive language to induce the company's employees to leave.
 The case was not decided on it's merits, as the appeal was not taken within 30 days as required by law. This was the basis of the decision of the appellate court.

ROOSEVELT'S PLANS
 ARE UNCERTAIN


 Rome, March 13.-(Special.) )-Uncertain ty still prevails here as to MT. Roose- velt's plans for his visit to this city Owing to the relations between the Vat ican and the Quiriral. visits of great personages here who wish to call on both his holiness and the King are beset with the utmost difficulty. Such arrangements can be made only by the greatest diplo- macy. One of the latest rumors in Amer ican circles here Is that the Roosevelt family will be guests at Sorrento for | cc uple of days of Mrs. Marion Crawford widow of tEe American novelist, and will not come to Rome at all
 The American Methodist society five weeks ago invited, the ex-president to deliver an address before it's members So far no reply has been received. It is regarded as doubtful whether MT. Roose- welt would have leisure to undertake this engagement. But after the Fairbanks ill- cident 1t would not be diplomatic to ar range for such an address until after the visit to the Vatican.
 It Is known that the Pope Is anxious 10 receive and honor ex-President Roose- welt, whom he warmly regards both as one of the great heroes of peace and as leader in the country where his holi- ness has so many disciples. MT. Roose- welt will be presented by Rector Kennedy of the American college here.

MORE ACTIVITY
 IN IRON MARKET

E New York March 13.-There was a fair
 volume of business in finished steel prod
 ucts last week, and the prospect is fav-
 orable for greater activity. The rail
 roads are developing larger orders for
 equipment and the slightly lower prices
 prevailing for plain structural material
 and fabricated steel is bringing out larger
 orders from railroads, equipment shows
 and contractors.
 Orders for rails aggregated S5,000 tons,
 Including 60.O0O for the Southern railway,
 of which 42,o0O tons are to be open-hearth,
 to be rolled at the Ensley plant of the
 Steel corporation. Although new orders
 for railroad cars were less than 2000
 distribution of 10000 is to be made this
 week and inquiries in the market for 15,000 additional are in a tentative state The
 same is true of locomotives, new orders
 being placed for only 70, but there are incuires for about 1200. about half of which are definitely in the market. Con- tracts for fabricated steel for buildings land bridges aggregated 250o0 tons. Railroads and carshops placed additional orders for steel plates, shapes and bars |aggregating about 10000 tons for car under frames. Similar contracts are pend- ing for larger tonnages, as well as for lear wheels and axles.
 l Contracts for pig iron were light. In ythe eastern district there was scarcely a single transaction worthy of note, but pipe works are on the point of closing for a fair tonnage. Virginia furnaces have taken some large orders for west ern and southern shipments recently, but stocks are still 23S,OOO tons in that dis trict. The principal transaction in foun-
 dry iron in the central west was 15,O00 tons for the Westinghouse Electric com pany. The daily output of pig iron in February was greater than in January. Prices are lower

A superintendent at Cramps ship yards declared yesterday that de- spite the extraordinary efforts of the leaders of the sympathetic strike not a single one of 5000 employees of the big plant walked out Not even a. boy quit ; said this official. They had the yard surrounded by pickets and men were visited at their homes and places of so- cial gatherings, but we did not lose one" According to police information hun dreds of the sympathetic strikers at the Baldwin Locomotive Works will return to work tomorrow, the bricklayers and car penters, 1t is said, will resume Monday or Tuesday, and other trades will follow this example.
 The resolution adopted by the Central Labor union, calling upon workers to withdraw their funds from all banks, re- cited that
 Whereas certain bankers have declared their sympathies with the Philadelphia Rapid Transit company in its fight to subdue the carmen's unions and crush the general strike, and are calling on other bankers to take similar action.
 Resolved, That the Central Labor Union of Philadelphia and vicinity hereby calls upon the workingmen and women of America and their sympathetic friends as their first sympathetic act, to with draw all their funds they may have on deposit with the banks, thereby teaching the banks that without the money of the workers their institutions of finance must be a failure. as without the labor of the workers all industry must cease"

SUITS TO BREAK
 THE SWOPE WILL

Kansas City, March 1s.-(Special.)-- Suits are to be brought in the circuit court to break the Swope will.
 Two of the heirs named in the will of the late Col Thomas Hunton Swope who live in Kentucky and Tennessee, will take action to set aside the will because their shares of the estate are not as large as they think they should be- A claimant in West Virginia, perhaps, will also bring suit and add his action to those of the other contestants in litigation that may scatter the Swope millions in a manner not intended by the testator
 The fact that wholesale litigation may soon involve the Swope estate was re- vealed tonight when it was announced that the Humane society would not en- certain the children of Kansas City at Swope park this summer, as provided by the Swope will.
 The estate will be involved .n numer- ous suits and therefore cannot be touched" was the explanation given by by an officer of the society
 The heirs who are contemplating con- testing the will of Colonel Swope are Mrs. Eliza J. PunKett of Nashville, Tenn, and Felix Swope of Woodford county, Kentucy. Mrs. Plunkett was a sister of Colonel Swope and is the wife of Dr. j. D. Elunkett. The will of Cololel Swope gives her the undivided half of lot 12 in Swope's addition to Kansas City and also SIG, eco.
 Felix Swope was Colonel Swopes neph- ew The will leaves him the undivided half of lot 5oS of Troost's resurvey of Block 16, "Old Town,'' Kansas City, and ssOOO.

 wolves the question of recognition of poll tax receipts. All parties to the suit were candidates for school direc- tor in Owen township, Pulaski coun- ty. The defendants were declared to be elected and plaintiffs brought an action to contest their alleged cleo tion, basing their contest on the ground that voters who had paid their poll tax in 1910 but who had not paid the tax in 1909 were allowed to vote. If these voters had not been allowed to vote, the plaintiffs allege, they would have been elected They set up the claim that no voter should be allowed to vote unless he had pad his poll tax for both years. The lower court held in favor of the defendants
