Good and Bad Literature

one of our preachers in his ser
mon of last Sunday morning en-
phasised the fact that preachers of
all men should keep i'm close touch
of passing events of the day, and to
do so must of course read the cur
rent literature of the age. but then
sounded solemn warning against a
certain class Of printed matter rs
chew the indecent and the sensa-
tiOnal and admit TO the home that
which is clean and true No man
who wants 90 give uplift to fellow
ms n can afford not 10 keep in touch
with environment. and that touch
should be maintained without tar
nish All printed matter is not bad
matter and all that is published is
not polluting. Study the magazines
and the papers for they mirror 50
ciety, and while they reveal some
sores on the body social and thebO-
dy political let us remember
that sores do really exist, and know
ing their existence. study their cure.
The preacher cannot afford to
live to himself, for no man liyeth
or dieth unto himself" Go out
and compel them TO come in" is the
great command, and one way to
learn of them is to read what is
printed about them.

Split Among Miners:

Pittsburg, April I6-After adopting a
resolution today to sign the wage scale
with individual operators, the miners of
district No. have practically been served
the international executive board has no
authority to recognize such a resolution,
and there is some danger tonight of there
being a split among the miners, accord
ing to Lewis, if the resolution is put
into effect.
The scale committee of the district
brought in a report today recommending
that the scale be signed with the 1ndl-
Vidual operators that had agreed to the
demands. The report further recommend
ed that the miners return to work as
soon as the scale was signed. but that,
after a reasonable length Of time; an as
sessnlent be laid upon the members VINO
work for the benefit of those whose
operators had not signed the scale. Pres
ident Feenan of District announced that
a number of operators were ready 10
sign an agreement granting the 800 per
cent increase. and run-Of-nSne basis where
the new explosives were used. The plan
was almost unanimously adopted and the
district committee was authorized TO pro-
coed with the signing of the scale.
When National President Lewis heard
of the action he was surprised and IN a
statement tonight said the resolution must
have been adopted through some mlsun-
Outstanding.
THE Cincinnati special convention clear
" specified the basis of wage contracts.
and no provision was made for signing
the contracts with individual operators,
said Mr. Lewis. IF this resolution is put
through it will mean serious division
in the ranks of the miners. me inter
national executive board has no author-
ity to sanction such a step. l VIII pc
al the convention Monday to learn II the
terms of the resolution are to be carried
out"

LOCKOUT OF EMPLOYEES
Quarter of a Million WOrkmen Idle
With Prospect That Thousands
More Will Be Forced Out.

Berlin, April 16-The buildings traa9
lockout which has already made quarter
of million workers idle, appears to be
the beginning of a long struggle affect
ing many divisions of the national in
the men in an effort to put an end once
and for all to what they regard as the
intolerable demands of The latter.
The employers declare that the wOrkmen
have been pursuing for several years a
policy of forcing high wages and shorter
hours by bringing about local strikes in
various cities, thus securing occasional
agreements which they would be unable
to obtain through concerted action. They
also say the time has come when employ
ers must stand together to hold their
position against their employees. The gen
eral employers Organiza ton, which in
cludes representatives Of every German in
dustry, is firmly supporting the lockout,
and already has voted several million
marks for the aid Of the master builders.
The organization apparently purposes to
supply the sinews Of war as long as the
lockout continues.
The labor unions, too, have been making
preparations for the lockout and planned
to support their idle members. The gen
eral managers of the social political or
CARNATIONS, which comprise by far the
larger part of the organized builders have
decided to attempt no assistance for the
first two weeks.
Owing to the huge proportions of the
lockout, it will be an extremely difficult
problem for the labor unions to secure
sufficient contributions to maintain their
members and their families through a pro-
longed period Of enforced idleness.

Pleas for his freedom were made by
Judge Willis and Rev. L. r S. Fergu-
son of St. Paul kilograms and letters
were read before the board from

zine editors.
Harry Phillips, director of music at
McAlester college, who had become in
terested in Carter through his playing
at the services in prison chapel ana
being editor of the Bellman, Mime
apolls journal, also sent letters.
Judge Willis read a letter from a
lady in England who knew of Carter
as boy and testified as to the condi-
ton of his father, the refinement of
the family and information that the
boy had been sent to Canada.
The young poet admits Carter is not
his right name. He will not divulge
his identity. He says his poems, which
have been published in number of
leading magazines and have attracted
much attention, were written to kill
time and ease unhappy thoughts. His
ballad of Misery and IRON" won him
special recognition
Carter was less than 20 years Old
when the crime was committed. His
father was in an asylum, and John,
who had been working in bank, but
did not like the confinement, was sent
To Canada by the family, who were IN
straitened circumstances, TO learn
farming.

Passengers Robbed and the Desper-
ADDE'S Made Their Escape
in Launch.

Benecia, Cal. April 1.-THE Overland
Limited on the Southern Pacific was
held up by three masked bandits at
1890 this morning, who relieved the
passengers of their money and valu-
ables. The robbers escaped in a steam
launch on Susan bay. The sheriff S
posse has secured another launch and
started in pursuit.
The three robbers were extremely bold
in their work, pulling the passengers out
of their berths and standing them up in
line. 1t is believed they secured several
hundred dollars. After completing the
work of rObbing. the trio ordered the en-
gineer and fireman to uncOuple the en-
CINE from the train and when that was
done told them to beat it,
The hOldup occurred between this city
and Goodyear. and after securing the en-
gine, the men opened the throttle and
made dash through Goodyear to Susan
Bay and sailed away in the launch wait

term as President was enough for him.

given a recipe for obtaining twenty-five
successive terms.

is enough for me. Judging from the trou-

of twenty-five terms or more than one
is more than / can stand"
