DOWN IN ENGLAND
MORE THAN 100000 OUT OF WORK
BESIDES MINERS As RESULT
OF STRIKE.

London, March 4.-FactOry after
factory is closing down all over the
United Kingdom as result OF the ma
tional coal strike and those responsi-
BILE for the trouble are simply mark.
|ing time for the present Though 1t IL
expected negotiations viii soon be re-
sumed.
Besides the miners, considerably
more than one million OF whom have
ceased work, 1t is now estimated that
there are upwards Of 100000 workers
in other industries idle owing to the
strike and the number is increasing
hourly.
The crews Of coal carrying vessels
lying in the coaling ports are now be-
ing discharged as the ships are unable
to get cargoes, and the railroads are
suffering in similar way because of
the curtailment by the companies of
their train service. One short line
railroad in Yorkshire has discontin.
ued service entirely.
In isolated instances the striking
miners have refused permission to
men to enter the mines in order to feed
the horses which have been left below
or to keep the workings clear. Gen
orally, however, the utmost good feel
ing prevails between the men and the
owners.
Mine Strike in Germany
Berchum, Germany, March A
miners strike which was totally un-
expected and which had not been
orderly by the miners union broke out
in three mines here today, the men
leaving work because, as they assert
unjustffied deductions had been made
from their wages.
The incident. it is feared, may precip-
itate a general strike of miners on
the question of wages which the lead
ers of the miners union and the mine
owners are just now endeayoring to
prevent. .#
The executive committee of the
national miners federation has issued
proclamation censuring the strikers
for committing a breach of discipline
by leaving work without the consent
of the union. The proclamation orders
the men to resume work, but there is
great apprehension that the situation
will get beyond control.
American Coal in Demand.
New York, March 4.-The strike in
the British coal fields has caused heavy
purchases here Of practically all the
available supply of soft coal in the
coal ports and in near New York and
at Philadelphia and Baltimore, to meet
the needs of the foreign steamship
companies using the Atlantic sea-
board. Local coal market prices for
immediate and prompt deliveries have
risen sharply in consequence.
1t is planned to load steamships with
a double supply of coal here SO that
a round trip voyages from this side
may be completed with American coal.

REMOVE INDICTED
men TO INDIANA IN
FEDERAL JUDGE SANBORN DE.
MES PLEA OF IRON WORKERS.
80 FOR WISCONSIN TRIAL.

Milwaukee, March 4.--William E.
Reddin and Herman G.. Seiffert,
officials of the Milwaukee Iron Work
ers union, will be removed to Indiana
for trial in the alleged dynamiting
conspiracy. Federal Judge A. I. San
born of, Madison today having aRsr-
ruled their contention that II they had
committed an offense It was committed
in Wisconsin, not in Indiana. Judge
Sanborn held that every shipment OF
nitroglycerine by Ortie McManigal or
the McNamaras was chargeable also to
all the other persons in the alleged
conspiracy.
$50 the offense, If any" he said,
was committed in Indiana, although
it may also have been in other states.
The most convenient place for trial
from the standpoint of all the defend
ants is in the district OF Indiana, there
fore. these defendants should stand
trial there with the others unless they
have the right, under the constitution,
to be discharged from arrest here.
Reddin and Seiffert challenged the
sufficiency of the Indictment in that it
was not explicit enough in presenting
proofs of guilt. The court held, how
ever, that in a case where secrecy is
of primary Importance, a grand jury
is justified in not incorporating too
specific statements in the indictments.
Judge Sanborn's ruling will probably
affect the efforts of other defendants
two of them in New York. to prevent
extradition to Indianapolis for trial.
Habeas Corpus Denied.
New York, March 4.--Judge Hand,
in the United States district court to-
day denied writ of habeas corpus in
the case of Patrick F. Farrell indicted
with other labor leaders for the alleged
dynamite conspiracy, and orders his
removal to Indianapolis for arraign-
ment

leader arrested in this district did not

til the convention assumes more
definite shape. The committee now
in charge, together with the members
OF the lodge, will take further action

SOUNDS LIKE
 FAIRY STORY
Report That D. c. Jackling Plans to Make Arizona His Permanent Residence. Is Discredited by His Friends Here

The Republican has received from an outside and disinterested source an intimation that D. C. lacking, president of the Ray Consolidated Copper company, now q resident of Salt Lake City but frequent visitor here. is planning to move his resi- dence from Salt Lake to either PhOe- nix or Tucson. The story was ac- Companied by the suggestion that if such a move is made it might be in furtherance of some political aspra- tion of Mir. Jackling.
 Mr Jackling is not here to be in terviewed respecting the matter. but from all that can be learned of his friends, it is believed the story has no foundation in fact Perhaps as close a friend as he has in this city is T C. Adams who discredits the story entirely. MT Adams says that if Mr, Jacklng has any such plans he knew nothing about them.
 Continuing MT. Adams says that so far as Jackling's political aspirations are concerned. if he has any he has never indicated the fact. He is too deeply absorbed in the immense busi- ness of the mining companies he di- rects 10 have very much time for politics and as for emoluments his time is too valuable to devote to any political office in the state
 It is true says Mir. Adams. that Mr. Jackling has at one time and another. done all that he could to further the interests of the republican party in Arizona, but it has been TO1N lo iryI,t l,;., friends who did have aspirations
 His interests in politics is only that of man concerned in larger business undertakings which are affected by the prosperity of the country and like and other business man he throws his support to the party he believes most likely to guarantee prosperous business conditions
