waiting habit of suddenly appearing for
breakfast at the insurgent camp, and

TRUST NIGHT
RIDING CAUSE
SENATE is TOLD

Washington. Jan. Ex-senator Brad
ley of Kentucky in the senate today
made a vigorous protest against the
published reports of night riding IN
Kentucky in which reflection was cast
upon his state. Kentucky has a law
allowing farmers to pool their crops.
This, it was alleged, was the cause of
the crimes of the night riders. Brad
ley denied this statement, declaring
the cause of the crimes in tobacco was
the trust, which he declared sought
to evade the national and state laws.

to register their protest in the shape
of the adoption of a resolution to meet
next year in Springfield, Ill.
Various causes will operate to bring
about this decision. In the first place,
the governors feel it to be important
to assert the rights of the states, to
show the country that their jurisdic-
tions are not subordinate in all things
to the federal government.
Dignity RufIed.
In the second place, the dignity of
their excellencies has not been respect
ed. Under the administration of Pres
ident Roosevelt they met at the White
house and the chief executive acted as
presiding officer. At this second meet
ing they are holding their sessions in
a hotel and find they are outranked at
social functions by members of the
cabinet and senators. This was the
case at the dinner given by President
Taft at the White house last night,

Indianapolis, Jan. 20.-T The most
powerful of all the worlds unified la
Dor organizations, the United Mine
Workers of America, played politics
bitterly all of yesterday at it's conven-
tion in this city. and finally rebuffed
its international administration. The
! "ilibusters," so-called by President
Thomas Lewis, succeeded in carrying
by a large majority a motion to sus-
pend during the convention the sal
aries of the international organizers
that are in attendance as representa-
tives of local unions and to put upon
the unions the expense Of their sup
port as delegates.
Bitter Accusations.

ed that about so international organiz-
ers, being under the control of Pres
ident Lewis, had been called into the
convention in. the expectation that they
could further the. interests Of the ad-
nlinistration; that some Of them had
solicited delegates credentials from
local unions supposed to be unable TO
send delegates, and that they should
have remained in their districts at
tending to the duties for which they
were paid.
Dangerous Capitalization OF power
resulted. 1t was maintained, which
threatened the rights Of the individual
districts. The order Of business Of the
convention ives put aside. despite the
protest of President Lewis, so that the
controversy could be fought out.
Called 10 Give Information.
President Lewis fatty denied he had
asked international organizers TO help
him forward his policies I'm the con

of them to the convention, he said. so
that the delegates might have first
hand information of the progress OF

fields.

tary-Treasurer Edwin Perry and Vice
