sTEUBENVILLE
NO BEATING Of
ScAB MILL WORKERS

=, Steubenville, Ohio, Jan. q, 1910.
7 1t Is to be regretted that man who
has always born a high reputation
will allow himsef to lose this reputa-
: ton by allowing the officials Of the
mills to entrap him into the mill,
when he we'll knows that this high
reputation was obtained by his asso-
!. Citations with his fellow ,workmeIl,
Tor as general rule the officials OF
the mills never associate with their
workmen. and when man allows
himself to become q tool for the ope-
rators In reducing his wages, his
reputation is gone and he and his
children are looked upon by all good
laboring classes as just what he is. a
black sheep, and does a man of this
Kind expect to co-mingle with good
union men and not have scab on
his head. IT he does he should be
examined as he is not mentally
sound. And when one Of these scabs
happen to meet with q little psnish7
ment as reminder to the public
The press makes great howl about
IT, But thes press fails to publish
that these mill operators talk such
silly men into their works and fur
nish them with revolvers and plenty
OF ammunition to shoot down their
Fellow workmen, who were instru-
mental in this mans getting his
: nigh reputation. And If this scal
should shoot and kill one of his fel-
low workmen. would the mill com
pany' or the oficial who furnished
the weapon and instructed him to kill
or wound his fellow laborer. take his
pace and receive his punishment

Chairman Weekly of the Arbitra-

Filtration.
A communication from the Board
of Control Of Wheeling, in answer to
the letter sent by the Assembly rela-
tive to filtration, was read and simply
explained that, after the installation of
the pumps, etc., furnishing QUAINT
fTY of water, would leave no money for
filtration, guaranteeing QUALITY Of
water. In this connection President
Corcoran reported that he had CON
suited an attorney, as per instructions
of the Assembly, relative to the adj
visibility of bringing legal action to

of the proceeds of the bond issue i'm
less water filtration was included. On

Taking up the recommendation of
Retiring President Reuther, Delegate

the duties <,ef the organization com

Delegate Ryan, to that effect, pre-

Per Capita Tax.
The per capita tax is to stay the

that the Assembly's finances were in
progressively good shape, motion to
continue the per capita tax at 2 cents
instead of increasing it to cents, as
recommended.

Sheriff Amrine Of Belmont county
md Chief of Police Terrill Of Martins
Ferry are hard at work assisting the
steel Trust to crush the workers OF
ohio into complete submission. Last
week the brave sheriff sailed forth
and served the warrants issued as a
result Of, the grand jury indictments
which The Majority, judging from the
pre-arranged complexion Of that body,
nredicted two weeks ago would issue
from st. Clairsville.
when "Ferocious Freddy got the

he attempted to get deputies to assist
IN serving them. Rumor' has it that
he failed to enlist the services OF a
single citizen. He is then reported
to have gritted his teeth and with a
pathetic burst of the courage OF
Oowardice, Kissed:
THAT bunch Of cattle can't drive
me. though they may walk over-r-r-r
my dead b-doddy."
So he sailed forth to Martins
Ferry. But everywhere he went the
men were ahead Of him to give them
selves 4up. Whenever q man heard
that he was indicted he went on a

Cincinnati, January 6, 1910.
Gentlemen: During former. SEES
sions of the legislature, when there
was pressing need that the Industrial
interests OF Ohio should be defended
from the enactment Of the most per-
nicious class legislation, you heard
f'om us and we're interested. We now
appeal to you again, because it is. abb
solutely necessary that the same OPP
position shall again be made.
The legislature is now in session,
and since the attacks on business in
terests will be more determined than
ever before, we are compelled to make
better preparations to meet them.
You are urged to cooperate with us
in protecting your interests, and since
postage, printing, telegraphing, attor-
neys' fees, and general publicity WORK
must be provided for, we do not hest
tate to say to you plainly that money
is now required. The character and
business connections Of the members
of the committee, whose names are
given above, make it unnecessary to
state that their services are gratui-
Itous, and that the business and work
OF this committee will be properly and
|honorably conducted. Their interests

THE ANTITRUST CRUSADE.

Now that the people have under
taken one method of bringing one
trust to it's knees by abstaining from
meat for time. the question natur-
ally arises, what will take the place
of meat?
Fortunately science tells US we
have something which if used freely,
will not only take the place of meat,
but the saving in meat bills will more
than cover its cost. 1t will do several
other things. Those suffering from
rheumatism are much better without
meat, as the digestion of meat liber-
ates urea which is given as the prin-
cipal cause of this disease.
1t is good food for the nervous sys-
tenn, and its free use will overcome
many cases of constipation which
lowers the vitality and allows disease
an easy road to get hold of person.
A history Of constipation precedes al
most every case of appendicitis.
This food, moreover. contains the
IA elements of the human body in
exact proportion to it's needs, and is,
perhaps, the only food which alone
and without the necessity of eating
anything else, will not only sustain
life, but will keep a person healthy
and strong.
1 have reference to the use of whole
wheat -four At all times it is much
better than bread made from the
white -four.
The white -four is beautiful to look
upon, but its use has made nation
Of constipates. This explains why ap-
pendicitis is much more common than
in former times. =.
The government is now fighting
this Species of abomination, but the
manufacturers Of these electrical ap-
paratus have a fund Of one hundred
thousand dollars to fight back, SO IL
the people wish to cripple two evils
the meat trust and the pale -four
teaches let them use the whole wheat
-four or the bread made from it.
This -four alone makes Che best OF
pancakes. biscuit, or mush when the
proper quantity Of baking powder is
used or other condiments. Try this
food for 80 days and many will use
no other -four. It satisfies without
causing a full" sensation as less
quantity furnishes all the different
elements needed, and herein lies the
satisfaction without being overloaded
with inert matter.

Thugs Not Bothered.
Alltindictments found by the grand
jury of Belmont county were found
against strikers and their sympathiz-
ers. Not one Indictment was found
against Trust thugs. In spite of the
fact that the hundreds of bullet holes
found in the houses fronting the Act

sively that the shots were fired from
inside the mill grounds, there was not
one thug interfered with.
In spite of the fact that Windsor
Davies was admittedly shot by "a

against any Trust thug.
All indictments were based upon
the shooting of Guard Hilty and soap

the loudest howl of approval came
from certain democrats, who see
in Egan Il weak candidate for the
republican party, and hope to
slather him with Chauncey Woods
of Rapid City, and thus wedge
their hungry way back to the feed
trough. But just the same. Mr..
Egan's spectacular stunts won him
supporters here just as they are all
over the state. He is a factor in
the present campaign, and don't
you forget it. We can't believe
that he will be nominated, but he
will deliver surprise to some of
the politicians of the state that
will give them foolish look for
seven full days.

Egan Speaks Here

The eloquert and tousle-haired
one from Minnehaha county held
forth at the opera house last Sat-
urday evening. He came like the
wandering prophet of old to preach
his gospel to the common people
and incidentally he took occasion
to boom his candidacy for the re-
publican nomination for governor.
AS usual Egan had good audi
ence, and there can be no doubt
that some of his most vicious thrusts
were heartily appreciated. Joe
Kirby, A b. Kittredge. lick
Richards, Governor r. S. Vessey,
and many others came in for a
warm scoring. Then there was
the usual platitudes about the COM
mon people, the common people
that Mr.. Egan loves so we'll.
Egan's trouble with the bar of
his county, the Kaukmann case,
the O'Grady case, and his disbar-
ment by the supreme court of the
state were dwelt upon and fully
rehashed from the Egan point of
view. Taken altogether Mr.. Egan
told the people his troubles and
talked about himself for good
two hours, and wound up by con-
fidently assuring the crowd that
he would be the next governor of
South Dakota whether they wanted
him or not.
No one can deny that he made
an eloquent appeal and that he won
a lot of sympathizers. Men next
morning were outspoken in their
admiration of the man. Of course

How She Gained a Homestead

cIhe following sketch is published
through the courtesy of McCall's mag
azlne, which publishes the article in
It's June number. The article will be
OF interest to our readers not only on
account OF the wide reputation of the
author, but for it's local color as we'll.
1t may be added that the sketch, as it
appears in McCall's is accompanied
by half a dozen illustrations as we'll as
some technical information regarding
homestead entries of public land which
we have not reproduced.)
When first told that my friend
Clara Smith had gone to South
Dakatato homestead Isimply threw
up my hands. She! a delicate
little woman, accustomed to the
refinements of city life, how could
she ever stand the hardships of a
pioneer! But when few years
later she visits me, 1 learn the
whole story.
Whatever made me think of
such a thing! I'll tell you. To
begin with, cousin John had been
out through that country on busi-
ness, accidentally learned of this
tract, on the verge of The Bad
Lands, at the base of the Black
Hills. So, when he came home,
and we got to talking about it, he
proposed we get up a party and
take up a section between us.
Vonie, my niece became enthusias-
tic, and a friend of hers, a school
teacher wanted to join us, so we
four finally decided to make the
venture. l, the married woman
could chaperon the two girls, and
it was a sort of family affair any
way.
First though, we all had to go
out to Chamberlain, the place to
file on the land. We took up a
whole section, thus getting one
hundred and sixty acres apiece,
and we were particularly fortn-
note in our location owing to q
beautiful little creek that made il
unusually desirable. AS the gov
ernment allows six months after
filing to prepare for . home, we
came back east and got ready for
our new experience.

started out again taking the Mil.

Burke Bill Opening Reservation
Passes House

Representative Burke, of South
Dakota, - succeeded in passing
through the house the billlast week
opening to settlement 1,5OO, 900
acres in the Pine Ridge aud Rose
bud reservations. A similar bill
was passed in the senate by Sem
ator Gamble, SO the opening of
this land is assured now.
The house adopted an important
amendment to the Rosebud Pine
Ridge bill, however. permitting
persons to register for this land
before the clerk of the courts in
counties where they reside. If this
amendment is accepted by the SEN
ate persons desiring to register
for reservation drawings will not
have TO make the trip to registra-
ton towns in South Dakota, and
it will end highly profitable in
dustry in that state. The amend
ment was adopted on motion of
Representative Sabbath, democrat,
of Illinois, supported by several
members from Chicago, three Wis
consin insurgents and Representa-
tive Ferris. democrat, of Oklaho-
ma.
Representative Burke, as chair
man of the committee on Indian
affairs, tried to prevent the adop-
tion of the SABBATH amendment, but
the house seemed to be under the
influence of the democratic-insur-
gent combination. Mr.. Burke will
make strenuous effort, however,
to have this amendment rejected
when the bill goes into conference
and is hopeful of being able to win
over q majority of the house to his
views by that time. :
The house spent two hours today
discussing the prohibition section
Of the Rosebud Pine Ridge bill.
which provides that reservations
to be opened to settlement shall be
dry for twenty-five years. Mem
bers representing the big brewery
districts made . vigorous effort to
have the prohibition provision
stricken from the bill, but could
unnster up only . few votes against
this restriction.

Governor Hughes Appointed tl
the Supreme Bench

Gov. Charles f. Hughes of New
York has accepted the appointment
as justice of the supreme court of
the United States to succeed the
late Justice ID. j. Brewer, tender
ed him a few days ago by the pres
ident. He will enter upon his new
duties the second week in October
next. He will remain as governor
until that time.
His nomination will go to the
senate where it will probably be
confirmed without delay.
1t was reported once that Hughes
would not accept on account of the
depletion of his private fortune
and that it would be necessary for
him to return to his law practice.
