mier Asquith congratulating the gov

Thousands Are Penniless.
One pitiable effect of the strike has
been the suffering of stranded holiday
makers in Lancashire. Thousands of
factory workers passed the holidays at
Blackpool and had spent their last
penny. They had the return halves
of their railway tickets, but no trains
were running and many of them tried
TO walk distances of twenty and thirty
miles in order to reach their homes
at Preston, Blackburn and other
places In hundreds they fell exhaust
ed by the wayside or in the fields.
Authorities Sueeor Thorn.
The authorities of other towns,
learning of their distress, posted no
tices inviting assistance from benevo-
1ently inclined persons, whereupon We
hicles of every description were sent
out ON the road to rescue the factory
workers. The mayors Of many other
towns provided meats and shelter in
the town halls and public buildings to
similarly stranded visitors.

bles were reported today except at
Dublin. where the police and constables
came into collision with a mob which
was in sympathy with striking news
boys who were endeavoring to prevent
the distribution of newspapers. Nj
nerous persons had their heads crack
ed in the melee and several shops were
looted.
Railway Workers Claim Victory
The railway workers held meetings
throughout the country today to cele

The Northeast companys employees
demand an eight hour day and two
shilling weekly advance in wages, with
a minimum weekly wage of 20 shill-
ings, about $3.50.
Some Progress Made Yesterday.
Although the services on the other
lines have not been completely re-
stored, the men in most cases pre-
scented themselves for duty today, and
n start was made toward remedying
the dislocation caused by the strike.
During the day some progress was
made in clearing the lines of freight
trains, but it will be some days before
normal conditions are restored.
Some Rioting in Wales.
Unfortunately. because of the block
in the telegraph lines, the manifesto
or the strike leaders calling upon the
men to return to work did not reach
some points until this morning. during
the night there were disturbances at
numerous places. With the exception

A PLOT TO DESTROY THE
USEFULNESS OF DIR. WILEY.
Opinion of Those Who Have Heard
Evidence in His Case.
Especial to The Bulletin. !

Especial to The Bulletin.)
Washington, Aug. 19.-That there ex-
lists in the department of agriculture
plot among certain officials to de-
stroy all public usefulness for DR..
Harvey w. Wiley, is the opinion of all
that have attended the hearings before
the house committee on expenditures
in the agricultural depar rtnent
Only one more witness remains to
be heard, Secretary Wilson, and he
will take the stand Monday morning.
Very fewff if any, believe that the sec
retary has had any personal knowledge
of what has been done. Is is known
that he has been made the victim of
mutilated letters that did not tell all
the truth, and that his endorsement Of
the findings Of the personal board
were based on evidence that was no
evidence.
Dr. Wiley concluded his testimony
yesterday and told the story of the
conception and organization of the
famous poison SQUAD of a few years
ago. He foresaw that in the near fu-
ture a pure food and drug law must
be passed, and set about experimenting
SO that he would know some specific
things about adulterants and preserva-
tives. DR.. Wiley said that he did not
originate the title of poison squad"
but that it had its origin in the brain
of a newspaper man, and it has stuck
l,
and that it developed a vast amount
of informa ton.
This poison squad was composed of
twelve young men,. Their physical
condition was carefully noted, and a
scientific ration was adjusted for each
that would maintain the body at a
uniform rate and normal condition.
Each of these young men pledged
himself to eat and drink only what
was prepared and given them by DR..
Wiley. The ration was varied only by
the addition the preservative. For ten
days the men We're fed with food mix
ed with the preservatiye and ten days
without the preservatiye. and the
physical condition at the end OF each
period was carefully studied.
At the end of nine months period
it was found that in every case borax
had produced distinctly unfavorable
effects.
Prior to his experiments with this
squad DR.. Wiley had thought that bo
rax was the least harmful of all the
preservatives, and he suspected that
the German government had opposed
its use only as a means of shutting
out American meats.
He said experiments were made with
sulphur. dioxid, sulphate of copper,
salycillic, benzoate of soda, benzoic
with harmful effects in every case.
The committee did not talk about
the case, and there is no telling what
the result OF the hearing will be, but it
is thought that Solicitor iN1cCabe and
Assistant Chief Dunbar will suffer the
fate they sought for DIR. Wiley.
1t is stated upon the highest author
ity that the president will await the
result of the hearings before rendering
a decision on the papers now in his
possession, recommending the dis
charge of DR.. Rushby, the demotion of
DR.. Bigelow, and the acceptance Of the
resignation of DIR. Wiley.
