Now, Dewitt lived near Hattiesburg

Tucker and George Dewitt had their
rendezvous and sailed forth for pill

the one killed at Clyde, as he and un-

Strike Greatest In History.

London, March 4.-The. coal strike,
the greatest in the history OF the Brit
ish Isles, is marking time over the
weekend. One satisfactory feature Is
the complete absence of disorder In the
districts affected All negotiations
looking to settlement have ceased,
as the leaders who recently gathered
in London have scattered to attend to
local matters in connection with the
strike.
Labor leaders in recent speeches
have insisted upon the Importance of
supporting the miners, because now
that the government has decided to
institute minimum wage, in connec-
tion with the mines, it will be impos-
sible much longer to withhold estab-
fishing a minimum wage In all indus
tries. Thus the strike will become a
triumph for the cause of labor all
around.
The next word is with the govern
ment, and Premier Asquith's promised
statement today is awaited with the
greatest interest. However. no ar
rangement has been made for the in
PRODUCTION of minimum wage bill.
AS a mass meeting of dock workers
of Bristol Saturday a resolution was
adopted providing that imports of for
eign coal should not be handled.

ing"
From what LAWN had to say, it
is obvious that the American
knows all about the murder, and
who committed it. Perhaps Law
in knows, too.
But LAWN, police captain,
who was put in charge of the
strike by Mayor Harrison on the
orders of Andy Lawrence, is not
sure if the American will give the
actual murderers up or not.
LAWN knows the American will
give up some men, but he is not
sure it will be the right ones. 1t
may be the American will give up
some scapegoats.
The only possible explanation
of this is that the men who did
the actual shooting must be ex-
ceedingly valuable thugs to the
American.
Perhaps they are. Perhaps
rumor that circulated in police
circles today, but which could not
be confirmed, is true.
That rumor was that someone
