MILLIONS FOR SLAVE WAR
Great Campaign Is Launched Against
Evil Practice in the u. S.

EVIL FTaCtice IN the y. y.
Washington.-Wor in coop
GRAFTON with the department of
justice, business interests OF this
country is about to launch one of the
biggest campaigns against white
slavery ever undertaken. The move
has been organized with great secrecy
and is backed by unlimited capital.
Within the past few weeks bankers,
merchants, philanthropists, educators
and other leaders of national reputa-
ton have met in New York and Chi
cago and completed a merger of all
the principal organizations fighting
the white slave traffic into the Ameri-
can Vigilance association.
Associated with the movement are
some of the Wealthiest men in this
country, whose names are at present
withheld 1t is understood that they
have pledged themselves to furnish
the money for the support of the Or
ganization.
The plan of operation Of the asso-
citation is simple but complete. At
tached to each headquarters will be
lawyers, detectives and educators.
Whenever a city or town wants to
start crusade against the white slave
traffic the association will supply it
with detectives, who will investigate
conditions, and lawyers who will pre-
pare the evidence. The evidence will
then be turned over to the state or
federal authorities and the influence
of the association will be exerted to
bring about effective prosecution.
Acting under this arrangement the
association will begin Investigations
into the white slave traffic in five diff
ferent cities within the next few days.

MINE STRIKERS ARE QUIET
Negotiations for Settlement Cease for
Present and Men Preserve Order

London.-The coal strike, the
greatest in the history of Great
Britain, is marking time over the
weekend. One satisfactory feature is
the complete absence Of disorder in
the districts affected. All negotia-
tions looking to settlement have
ceased, as the leaders who recently
gathered in London have scattered to
attend to local matters in connection
with the difficulties.
Labor leaders in recent speeches
have insisted upon the Importance of
supporting the miners, because now
that the government has decided to
institute a minimum wage in connec-
ton with the mines, it will be impos-
sible much longer to withhold estab-
fishing minimum wage In all indus
tries
Thus the strike will become a tri-
umph for the cause of labor all
around.
