Italian Newspapers for Miners.

One of the questions under discussion
by the Executive Board of the United
Mine Workers at indianapolis Friday
and Saturday was the establishment of a
newspaper to be printed in italian, and
intended for circulation in Pennsylvania
principally, but among foreign miners
wherever they may be employed.
The members of the board think one
reason for the slight interest in the or
ganization in Pennsylvania is the fact
is that so many of the miners is foreign
ers and are not reached by the journal
because it is printed in English.
The board will attend the Cincinnati
conference, and President Lewis, who is
here, and presided at the meeting, says
there will be no agreement that does not
carry with it increas in wages for all
men employed in and about the mines.

AUSTRIA TO PROBE
MURDER OF STRIKER
Ambassador Won Hongervar De-
mands Inquiry Into Killing By
Trooper at Bethlehem, Pa.

The killing of the Hungarian steel
worker, Joseph Szambo, by the state con-
stabulary at Bethlehem has been taken up
by Baron Won Hengervar, Ambassador
from Austria Hungary, and will compel
the United States Government to make
official investigation, to be followed, if
the facts presented are sustained, by pun
lshment of the trooper, John T. Monaghan
OF Company B, and a monied reparation
to the dead man s family
This action of the Autria- Hun garian
Embassy was brought about by the ar
rival in Washington of committee from
the Bethlehem striking steel workers,
headed by Jacob Tazelaar, Organizer for
the American Federation of Labor. who
had been given power of attorney by
the wife and children of the dead Hun
garian.

garian ambassador how before the arrival
of the state constabulary, not single
record of arrest had been placed upon the
police blOtter in Bethlehem; that orderly
public meetings had been held by the
strikers, attended in person by Chief of
Police Hugo Kelly and Burgess O. L.
Priest, and that the state constabulary
arrived in town marching three abreast
down the main street, two mounted troop
ers on each side riding their horses upon
the sidewalk among the women and child
ren, for the apparent purpose of terror
izing the populace
At the corner of Third and Linden
Streets, within two blocks of the city hall
they began firing, one shot entering the
Hotel Majestic and piercing the brain
of Joseph Szambo. The demand of the
Chief of Police upon the commander of
the constabulary to surrender the trooper
who fired the shot was at first met by a
curt refusal and not until three days after
the killing was the man finally given up
to the city authorities, only to be immedi-
ately released on $4,000 bail furnished by
a representative of the Bethlehem Steel
Company.
Continuous acts of lawlessness were
perpetrated by the mounted constabulary
upon the union men going to and from
meetings One Hungarian, on the way
to Federal Union meeting accompanied
by his wife, was attacked by three
troopers, beaten over the head until he
became unconscious, and his union book
torn up. So open and fragrant were the
acts of these American Cossacks', that
the local clergy protested and public sem
tlment among merchants and business
men turned completely in favor of the
strikers.
That it is necessary to appeal to for
eign power in order to protect working
men in the United States is a scandal
that Washington authorities are making
every effort to disavow, but the action of
the Ahstria-Hungarian Embassy has
placed the matter in light where it can
not be hidden.

FUTURE FOR RUBBER.

Hawaiis producers of rubber will
not lack for market when they
Cnce prove that rubber can be Sc
cured from the locally-grown rubber
forests at reasonable hgure.
For ten months of the year 1909
the United States imported s62,O00,-
600 worth of rubber, including gut
ta-percha, gutta-jovalong. etc, indi-
eating a total impor. or $4,000, 900
n year. This is far beyond any pre-
vious record.
In the world today rubber is So
rs problem of production. Near
iy half the American supply is Para
rubber from Brazil, but Mexico and
Central America contribute substan-
tally. Through England and Ger
many comes another large supply
from the Congo, where the Belgian
administrators until recently under
the benevolent rule of the late King
Leopold are accused of competing
he natives TO work gathering rub
Der by cutting OFF the hands of those
who shirked.
Such red rubber forms indeed
more than four-flfths of all the ex,
ports of the Congo State. and the
problem that wrinkles the brows or
the Belgian administrators is how to
make the savage native tribesmen
continue to work without severity
when so soon as their immediate
needs are supplied they greatly pre-
fer not TO work. Further. rubber is
gained by tapping the trees and con-
densing the sap. Like all such pro-
cesses, IL exhausts the life of the
tree. All the rubber areas of the
world are in tropical countries, and
in comparatively few of them at the
present time is any attempt being
made to supply by replanting the
place of the trees that die. while the
temptation is strong, as in making
turpentine, TO kill the trees quickly
by premature and excessive drain
ing.
The modern uses of rubber for hi.
cycle and automobile tires, for the
insulation of electric wires and other
purposes, have so rapidly developed
that our demand has more than
quadrupled in twenty years and will
probably quadruple again in the
next twenty unless rising prices pre-
vent or the invention of practi
cable substitute saves the situation

ly this morning when Judge Andrade
fined them $25 each and costs. for as
saulting Chinese. The costs amount
ed TO another $25, so the pair or their

they could be set free.

duce Mr.. Waller 10 prove that Ma
chado was regular church goer.
The evidence of the Chinese was
very clear however. and church or
no church, the man was found guilty.
Judge Andrade gave the two men. and
in fact the whole gang who were pres
ent as spectators In court, warning
that IL they appeared in court again
and We're convicted, they would go in
for six months sure.
Chief McDuiiic Is going to break up
these gangs somehow, and he will be
on the watch all the time for the
toughs. At the slightest sign of their
attacking Chinese or any one else
again, wholesale arrests will be made
and the bunch will surely get the limit
in court.
Several other gangs have been kept
in check by the stationing of an Off
Ger in uniform in the bad districts.
Sheriff Jarrett may decide to do the

the case of the Colusa, however, the
lnter-lsland steamers got their lines
TO the vessel and she was finally pull
ed OFF without a great amount of

ing on board.
The seas from southcrly direc-
tion are said TO be washing over the
stern OF the vessel and her hold is
apparently well filed with water.
The bark has already lost her rud-
der, and the rudder-post, while re-
naming intact, with most of the
steering gear, is jammed up through
the deck and projects about fifteen
feet above the deck of the vessel.
The wind has veered and north
east trade was blowing at the time
the Claudine and Mauna Loa visited
the ship. The Maui and the Like
like, of the Inter-lsland fleet, have
arrived, but II is believed impossi-
BILE to get lines to the Alexander
Black until the seas go down to con-
siderable extent.
There Is possibility that some
of the cargo of nitrates slowed in
the tween decks may be saved, but
that portion of the shipment that
lies in the holds is surely affected by
the water coming in through the
parted seams, as well as the seas
that are continually sweeping her
decks and have succeeded in remov-
ing a portion of her matches.
One thing that favors the distress
ed bark is the fact that she lies in
q small pocket of soft sand and
coral, and was at the time on an
even keel. There is considerable
depth of water on the port side of
the vessel.
