MOVE TO INDUCE LABOR /
TO |NDORSE SOCIALISM
Proposed Change in Constitu-
ton of United Mine Work.
ers SO Interpreted.

INDIANAPOLIS. Ind. January 27.-
What was said to be another move to
further the cause of socialism among the
United Mine Workers Of America was
made in their convention today, when
John II. Walker, president Of the Illi-
nois miners, offered an amendment to
the clause in the constitution which de-
clares the Mine Workers Journal shall
be, neutral in politics, making 1t read that
the Journal shall serve the political in
terests of our members and Of the labor
movement
Political as Well as Industrial.
The constitution has already been
amended to read that the miners Should
unite on the political as we'll as the in
dustrial field and delegates declared the
Illinois leaders amendment today was
along the same line. The proposition to
change the constitution governing the
miners official organ precipitated a heat
ed debate, which was interrupted by ad-
journment before action could be taken
The methods of transfers of members Of
the Western Federation Of Miners to the
United Mine Workers caused a wrangle.
Western coal miners declared that the re-
lations now existing between the two
organizations were friendly and pleaded
that the metal miners be permitted to
join the coal miners on the same terms
that members of one local were permitted
to transfer to another. The western dele
gates won their contention.
The convention probably will complete
its work on the proposed new constitution
and adjourn next week.
e.. Donation to Aid Strike.
A donation Of $3.50 was voted to the
striking garment workers Of st. Louis,
but the plea of the striking shopmen OF
the Hartman railroads OF San Francisco
was defeated by the miners.
The joint conference of the bituminous
ooaAs miners and operators of indiana,
Illinois, Ohio and western Pennsylvania
to discuss wage scale will be resumed
Monday morning.

Judge De Lacy took occasion to say
also that the standard of citizenship is

fact there is no suffrage here.

For Columbia Hospital.
It was also urged that Congress be ask

Of new building on the present site.
The passage OF the universal transfer bill,
passed by the Senate, will be urged upon

'CHOKES DOG TO DEATH
AFTER A LONG BATTLE
Coney Island Man Badly Bitten
Before Struggle in Chicken
Coop Ends.
PHYSICIAN HEARS HIS CRIES
Finds Victim Staggering from
Weakness and Loss Of Blood,
and Cauterizes Wounds
Goes to Institute.

After hand to hand struggle with
dog that had bitten him in the face
arms and body, Edmund Lith. sixty
seven years old, choked the animal to
death Yesterday afternoon. Mr.. Lith Is
being cared for at the Pasteur Institute
ard IT is thought that there is no danger
of rabies.
Mr. Lith is the father-in-law of the
Rev. ]. w. Kitzmeyer, pastor Of 81 PauIs
Lutheran Church, Coney Island, and
lives at No 2743 Henry street. About
dusk last evening he started out OF his
house and was crossing his back yard
when he heard a disturbance in the
chicken coop. He looked in and saw
big. yellow. mongrel dog trying to get
hold Of one of the frightened fowls.
Without thought of fear, Mr. Lith
opeued the door and walked into the
coop. He aimed a kick at the dog. but
before il reached its mark the animal
flew at him and bit him in the nose and
left cheek.
Mr.. Lith staggered minute. but in
stead of flying to safety he advanced on
the dog and tried to run the creature out
0. the coop. The dog was fighter too,
and I'm an instant the chicken coop was
, i'm an uproar. The fowls flew about and
made great noise above the heads OF
the two. The dog yepcd and growled
in his rage as he attacked the man time
and again. Mr.. Lith lodged this way
and that: kicking at the dog and trying
to seize him. But the brute was quicker,
and sank his teeth into the mans legs
and arms
Finally. although bitten many times.
Mr.. Lith managed TO catch hold Of the
dogs collar and drew the creature slow
IS toward him with one hand, while
with the other he grabbed the dog s
laws. The man then sank his fingers
into the animals neck and exerted all
his strength He felt the dog relax.
Satisfied at last that the dog breathed
no more, Mr.. Lith walked shakily from
the chicken coop, covered with blood
and almost falnting.
He staggered to the fence and hung
upon it as he called for help. There was
no one in his house, but DR. Sigmund
Rerk. his next door neighbor, heard him
and came running to his help. He aided
Mr.. Lith i'm getting into the house and
cauterized the injured mans wounds.
Then the physician called an ambulance
and took his patient to the Pasteur In
stitute. The Board of Health took
charge of the dogs body.
