TO FINANCIALLY AID THE
STRIKING SHOPMEN

Financial support for the strik-
ing shopmen of the Illinois Cen
trail railroad was voted by the
Chicago Federation of Labor at
its meeting yesterday. Repre-
Sentatives of the strikers will be
furnished with credentials from
the federation permitting them to
attend the meetings of all affili-
ated locals and solicit funds.
Communications will be sent to
the unions. informing them that
the railroad strikers are battling
for just cause and should be sup
ported by all organized labor.
Striking employees of the Wolff
Manufacturing Co., enamelers,
asked the federation for assist
ance in their fight.
Following the meeting of the
railroad department of the Amer
lean Federation of Labor, held
last week in the Kaiserhoff Hotel,
President J. w. Kline of the
Blacksmith's union, and a direct
or of the strike on the I. c., left
for trip through the east, dur
ing which he will visit many
blacksmith local unions.
Labor leaders who attended the
conference declined to say if the
proposition of ordering general
strike in the west had come up
for consideration, or whether any
action had been. taken in regard
to the strike on the |. c. and Har-
riman lines.

The murder of Mrs. Mize was
one of the most mysterious the

was shot and killed a short dis
lance from the Del Prado Hotel,
in Hyde Park, where she was
stopping. No one was ever arrest
ed for the crime.

Harmon
viii Stump The West At An
Early Date
viii Go Over The Ground
Covered By Taft

Columbus, o., Jan. 5-About the
time that Senator La Toilette of Wis
consin, progressive Republican leader,
concludes his present swing around
the circle another presidential candi-
date will take to the road. Governor
Harmon of Ohio, who is regarded as
one of the leading candidates for the
Democratic nomination, is putting his
affairs in shape in order to start on
his Western trip before the end of this
month. San Francisco will be the Gov
ernor's objective point and the osten-
sible purpose of the jaunt will be to
select a site for the Ohio building at
the San Francisco exposition.
Governor Harmon's trip will take
him over much of the ground covered
within the past few months by Presi-
dent Taft, Governor Woodrow Wilson
and Senator La Toilette. In a meas
ure the trip will determine how much
Harmon sentiment there is in the
West and will either give great impe-
tus to the Ohio governors boom or
else cause his retirement from the
presidential field. At the Harmon
headquarters here the belief is ex-
pressed that the Governor will be CIV
en- more enthusiastic welcome than
that which has recently been accorded
to his rivals.
Everything will be done to make
the Harmon tour success. 1t is to
be well advertised and arrangements
will be made to secure large audienc-
es at the various places where the
Governor is billed to speak and the
newspapers friendly to the cause are
to contain long accounts of the pro-
gress and the enthusiasm which the
Ohio executive arouses.

ABOLITION
OF Circuit Court In Ohio Is
Strongly Urged

Columbus, o.. Jan. 5--Complaining
of the delay occasioned by the addi-
tional appeal to a Circuit Court before
a case can be finally adjudged by the
Supreme Court, the Ohio Public Ser
vice Commission, in It's annual report
submitted today to Governor Harmon,
brands this judicial institution as the
greatest existing enemy to the work
of forcing public utilities to give eff
ficient service, and in so doing recon-
mends the abolition of the Circuit
Court.
State officials and members of the
convention regard the recommenda.
tion as most significant in the light of
the fact that Commissioner Oliver II.
Hughes and Secretary c. A. RadcliG
are attorneys.
The formal wording of the recon-
mendatiOn suggests that the judicial
procedure be changed so that cases un-
der the public utilities act may be ap-
pealed directly from the trial Court
to the Supreme Court, thus eliminating
several months and perhaps years OF
delay.
The report shows that II 900 per-
sons were killed or injured in railway
accidents during the year, and makes
a complete digest of the cases formal
ly disposed of by the commission. 1t
