The Leavenworth echo. [volume] (Leavenworth, Wash.) 1904-current, 1913-06-20

The senate investigation Of the West
Virginia coal strike is bringing out
some very ugly facts. The strike has
been in progress now for year or
more with varying degrees Of vicious
ness on the part of miners and coal
operators. The miners fighting for
better conditions and better pay to
meet the increased cost of living, using
force, the only weapon Of which the
average miner knows anything. The
operators, with their superior cunning
and money and using the law and gun
powder to protect their property and
make it pay a dividend on wind and
water as well as legitimate investment.

Girls Murder UnsoIved
At Schmidt S Birthplace

BERLIN, Sept 1s-Dispatches from
Aschaffenburg. the birthplace Of Hans
Schmidt, have given rise to much
speculation As to the death Of a tele-
phone girl named Haas, who lived near
the Schmidt home and who was found
murdered shortly before Schmidt left
Aschanenburg. This speculation was
intensified by the suicide Of a school
inspector named Helm. who had been a
close friend Of Schmidt and who, 1t Is
said, has kept in close touch with
Schmidt by letter since the latter's de-
parture for the United States.
In view Of the developments in New
York it is now believed In his native
city that Schmidt might have MUIR
dered the telephone girl. the mystery
of whose death never has been solved.
The scene Of the Haas murder was
Buechelberg Hill, near Schmidt's home.
The suicide of Helm followed closely
on receipt by him of information con-
corning Schmidt's crime in New York.
That. there is any connection between
this suicide and the Schmidt crime, or
that Schmidt had anything to do with
the murder Of the Haas girl. Is a mat
ter of local suggestion. and there is no
basis Of fact for this .suggection.
The correspondent has, not as yet
been able to locate -he four members
Of the Schmidt family who are said to
be confined in insane asylnms. Schmidt &
mother is prostrated hy the news OF
her sons crime, and II said to be

cITY WORKERS WANT MORE PAY

An appeal to the finance commit
tee of the city council on behalf of
the underpaid laborers working for
the city was made yesterday after
noon by Atty Jacob c. LeBoskey and
VIM L. Bruning, business agent of
the Municipal Laborers' Union.
The organization represents 5000
men working in the water, electrical
and street departments, and other
similar departments, as well as work
ers connected with the police depart
ment.
These men only get $3.50 and $2.75
a day. Laborers doing the same kind
of work for individual employers get
40 cents an hour.
Bruning and LeBoskey contended
that the sort of wages paid the city
employees injured the welfare of the
