The Insurgent Resolutions

Minneapolis, Feb. 2s.-Answer to

here last week. was made here today
in q statement issued by the head
camp Of the order through John Sui
livan Of Kansas City. chairman Of the
law committee. The statement was
issued by Mr.. Sullivan after a con-
ference by telephone with A.. r. Tai

order.
The statement denies that the ac-
tion taken at the insurgent meeting
here will have any results on the
membership Of the order.

mittee to look after legislation averse
to fraternal societies. This commit
tee is composed Of men holding high
position in fraternal societies and has
prestige in legislative matters to u
degree that a volunteer organization
within the society could not possibly

"our membership cannot be led
into contributing to any extent to any
such purpose.

talk always obtains when a fraternal

departments have made certificates
that the new rates adopted are the
lowest upon which the Modern Wood

With regard to the asking Of an in

Our contention Of there being but
little dissatisfaction among our mem

LITTLE HOPE Of
AVOIDING STRIKE
English Mine Owner Sees No
Chance Except Through
Government

- i. = : .
London. Feb. 26.-It is report
ed in radical circles that Premier =
Asquith has determined in the
event of national coal strike
that the government shall take
over and work all the coal mines
and thus prevent panic prices. .
ssss y
London. Feb. 26.-One of the larr.
est mine owners in England, who has
taken part in the conferences with the
government. expressed the opinion
last night that the only hope Of pre-
venting a coal strike, which will in
volve more than 100000 miners is for
the government to persuade the men
to postpone their notices. James Has
lam. the labor member for Derby-
shire. and the agent Of the Derbyshire
Miners association. has stated em-
phatically that this is impossible, as
the miners have decided to stand the
laying down their tools on February
20. unless their demands are acceded
to. Mr.. Haslam added that the Der
byshire miners could settle the whole
question In twenty-four hours, but
they could not break away from their
fellow workers in other fields.
In other quarters more optimistic
leeuns prevails, DaSeQ on lack of
harmony among the Welsh leaders
which may lead to postponement Of
the notices. 1t is understood that
Premier Asquith and Chancellor
oyd-George will endeavor to induce
the miners at Tuesdays conference to
hold their notices in abeyance tenn
l>orarily, and the owners to deal with
all questions which have arisen, ex-
cert tha, relating to the minimum
wage. at once, leaving the latter to be
nes otiated later. In the English dis
triots, in case Of strike. the miners
will be permitted to keep the mines
clear.

that the young Swede will take ad-

Senator Nelson is expected here to
confer with the district attorney to-
morrow and may go before the grand
jury. The senator's first interest in
the case was aroused. i, is said.
through an anonymous appeal In
Brandts behalf made by a woman
in a carefully prepared typewriter
letter. This and others of the wom-

the Swedish consul here with the re-
quest that the facts alleged In them
be investigated. The letters. 1t is as
serted. were placed in the hands Of
a then assistant district attorney. and
Senator Nelson has not seen them

from theeir anonymous author.
If any indictments should be found

expected they will be returned by tho
