STRIKE BREAKERS
BADLY BEATEN
SHOW SIGNS OF BEING HANDLED WITH.
OUT GLOVES
RETURNING To NEW YORK
Professional Strike Breakers Say
Union Men Made it Hot for Them
In Augusta.

In every large city in the North
there is a large body of men known
as the professional Strike Break
ers.' These men are kept in idle
ness until a strike occurs when
they are sent out to take the places
OF striking men. During the re-
cent fireman's strike in Augusta
body of strike breakers was
sent there to take the places Of
the union men, but it seems they
Jared badly at the hands of the
strikers and the rear guard pass
through Florence the other night
returning to New York after hav-
ing experienced the toughest time
they ever had at strike breaking.
Says the Florence Times
The train from Augusta last
brought in a tough looking crowd
| of badly battered men. They were
the strike breakers, who had been
southern and Florida road to take
the places of the strikers, and they
had evidently been struck several
times themselves. Those who
were able were returning whence
they came, from New, but like the
famous Six Hundred, they were not
all there.
A large crowd of them had gone
down on the Coast Line few
days ago, and the tattered rem.
nants of them will be sent bach
as soon as they can be taken from
the hospital or the proper size
boxes can be made for them
One of the railroad men sait
that they would go back at hal
fare as damaged goods.
The strike breakers are sen
out by contractors in New Yorl
Just as laborers are sent to the
phosphate mines in Charleston anC
Berkeley. They are kept on colo
storage while not in use as strik,
breakers, and as soon as an orde

There were a number or riots

Georgia, and a number of men
both strikers and strike breakers
go hard knocks. Many of these
fellows will never forget Georgia

COMPLETELY DESTROY SAFE
Three Yegemen Loot Postoffice a.
South ST Paul.

Completely wrecking the safe of the
postoffice at South Park, a st. Paul
suburb, and demolshing a consid
cradle share of the A. D. S. Clark
store, in which the station is located,
at South st. Paul, three yeggmen
made clean getaway with more than
$500 in stamps and cash and other
valuables belonging to Mr.. Clark ag-
gregating another $100. A heavy
charge of nitroglycerin was used and
was set off with policeman less than
two blocks away, but asleep
The booty was hastily removed from
the safe, the robbers even taking the
drawers of the. safe and throwing
everything into a mail pouch which
they carried as they ran towards St.
Paul, Swiftly sorting out the valu-
ables as they ran the trio discarded
many letters, the drawers and finally
the pouch, thus leaving an unmistak-
able trail for nearly mile.

DISASTER ON THE IRON RANGE
Score of Men Killed by an Ava
Ianche In the Norman Mine
at Virginia.

Death in the form of 100000 tons of
iron ore, rock, earth, ice and snow
shot down upon thirty men working
in the Norman open pit mine at Vir-
ginia. But few escaped being blotted
out by the terrible avalanche and three
of these are in hospital suffering
from injuries that are likely to prove
fatal. Most of the victims were Films
and Austrians.
The miners, who were taking up one
of the two tracks in the pit in order
to permit the great steam shovel to
work in another section of the mine,
were for the most part bent over with
bars and claws when the avalanche
swept upon them. There was no
chance for escape. The great mass
struck them to earth and gouged.
MANNED or flattened their bodies al
most instantly.
The pit was 125 feet deep and sew
enty-fve feet wide and the rock and
ore and earth filed this bowl to the
depth of fifty feet and shot out it's rim
$50 feet
The catastrophe was quite unlike
anything in the history of iron mining
on the range and also different in
many respects from the casualties that
strew the records of mining the world
over. The difference was that it came
in the form of an avalanche. Behind
and above the pit were thousands of
tons of ore, rock, earth, snow and ice
and the rapid warming of the atmos-
phere simply released them upon the
tnilinu roinorc

Minnesota Grand Lodge.

Minnesota Grand Lodge.
The supreme lodge, Ancient Order
of United Workmen, through. it's
president, William N. Narvis, has
filed a bill in equity against the
grand lodge, Ancient Order of United
Workmen, of the state of Mime
sofa and A. F. Floerkey, grand mas
ter workman; C. e. Larson, grand re-
corder, and J. T. Mcclure, grand re-
Ceiver, all officers of the state organi-
zation, in the circuit court of the
United States at ST. Paul
The supreme lodge alleges that the
grand lodge has held back the pay
ment of about s4OS,495 due them on
different funds. The bill is return
able the first Monday in April.
The supreme lodge asks that a de-
cree be returned restraining the de-
PENDANTS from paying or transferring
any part of the funds except in pay
ment of the supreme lodge. They de-
sire an accounting and will make it
their object to have each cent ac-
counted for. If the funds are found
short they ask that the court order

in the state in order that the de-
ticiency may be made up.

Turning Down Committees
Ralph Wheelock Investigated
Senators Refuse to Hear
Many Elections Bills and
Direct Legislation -Anti-P Pass
Law Weakened.

St. Paul. lit has become the regu-
lar thing in this legislature to turn
down committee reports in both the
House and the Senate.
In nine times out of ten when a
committee makes a report. especially
if it is an adverse one the author of
measure moves that the bill be print
ed and placed on General Orders and
motion invariably prevails. This is
done out of courtesy to the author of
the measure. but it is reprehensible
practice. The time to settle most
measures is on the report of the COM
mittee. to end it there. The other
me thod piles up an endless amount of
unnecessary work and entailss an
enormous expense of printing bills
that are of little or no interest and
that are doomed to defeat, and the
expenses of this legislature are going
to be no bagatelle as will be discover
ed when all the bills are audited.
An Absurd Investigation.
The mania for Investigations that
has broken out in this Legislature
reached a climax of absurdity when
committee was appointed to investi-
gate and find out how much the Cover
nor's Private Secretary received in
fees and salary. The Secretary re-
ceives 81, 500 year from the state
and $500 for each Notary Public
Commission issued. Ralph W. Whee-
lock was appointed secretary Nov. 1st,
1909. If any legislator, or anybody
else, wants to know how much he has
received for his services all he would
have to do would be to go. or send
anybody who could count, into the Office
of the Governor or Secretary of state
and count the Notary's commissions
that have been issued between Nov.
Ist 1909, and Nov. 1st 1910, multi
ply them by three and add 81, 500 and
he would have the exact figures. 1t
would be as sensible to appoint an in
vestigating committee to find out how
many windows there were in the Cap
itol building or how many members
there were in the legislature and what

Dunn's Good Roads Bill.
Bob" Dunn's Good Roads bill
has passed the Senate and is now a
j law.
This is one of the meritorious mea-
sures of this session. Under it's provi-
sions the foundations are laid for
uniform system of good highways and
it places Minnesota in the lead of all
her sister states in the matter of
modern highway legislation.
The Initiative and Referendum.
The Democrats under the leadership
! of Albert Pfaender, of Brown county
scored another remarkable victory on
the Initiative and Referendum. w.
A. Campbell Republican introduced
bill on this subject early in the ses-
sion and it was made a special order
for last Thursday. After long de-
bate it was defeated by vote of So
to 81. Representative Pfaender's bill
on the same subject was made spe
cial order for Friday and after heat
ed dicussion it was passed by vote
of g to SO. This bill requires a larg-
er percentage than any other Initia-
tive and Referendum Measure in the
United States. 1t requires 20 percent
of the voters to initiate a measure,
and at least 7 percent of the votars in
three ffhs of the counties must sign
the petition. The initiative is confined
to measures that have been defeated
by the legislature and the measure
initiated must have received at least
20 per cent of the legislative vote
and it requires majority of all the
votes cast to initiate a measure and
the proposed measure is required to be
printed in full on all the ballots. Ten
per cent is required to referend a
measure and the same ballot conditions
are required as in the initiative. The
bill stands very little show of passing
the Senate in its present shape and
the chances are that such radical
differences will arise between the
House and Senate as will prevent the
passage of any measure of this char
acter this session.
1t begins to look as though the
Republican members might as we'll go
home and leave the Democrats to run
the legislature for they are certainly
"hogging' the honors for legislation
thus far.
