STRIKERS CONTROL
SITUATION IN RAND
Settlement Of Gold Miners De.
mands Proves Ineffective
At johannesburg.

Johannesburg.-The settlement of
the strike among the gold miners in
the Rand district. which the govern
mont arranged with a committee OF
strikers Saturday. proved ineffective.
The mobs reassembled Sunday. AL
trains and streetcars suspended ser
vice, the crews refusing to work.
The Federated Unions are flushed
with success and confident that they
are complete masters Of the situation.
The leaders have already commanded
the newspaper to cease publication
until further notice. They count on

war In 1899 this city has not expert
enced such q day Of terrorism as Sat

ton caused less fear than desperadoes
who were threatening to dynamite the
homes of the wealthy.
The rioting began when strikers

whose members are mine-owners.
They demolished everything on the
ground floor. Three times dragons
scattered the mob. but 1t quickly re-
formed. The troops fired q volley
over the heads Of the rioters. and then
two volleys directly into their ranks.
The rioters fled. leaving behind many
killed and wounded. Local troops then
took command at the four principal
streets. which they swept with their
rifles whenever the rioters started to
return.
Revised figures show that about 20
persons were killed and $50 wounded
on Saturday. and that 100 were killed
or wounded Friday,

A MESSAGE TO
SCHOOL CHILDREN

State Superintendent of Public In
struction Josephine Preston Wishes
to send the following message to
the boys and girls Of Washington
suggesting the manner in which they
should spend their summer va
cations:
Now that the long summer days
have come and with it the long and
we'll earned vacation, you will feel
quite strongly the call of the woods.
the swimming pool. and the trout
streams. l hope you enjoy many of
these things. for they will give you
healthy tan and good muscle. But l
should like to have you spend a
good portion of your time feeding
your chickens. hoeing your gardens,
or practicing at baking, canning,
sewing or carpentering for remem-
Der that the boys and girls state
fair comes in October, and that you
must exhibit your county fairs be-
fore that time.
Nov. IL you hav'nt a prize list.
write to your county superintendent
and she will send you one. American
boys and girls have an Unborn love
for racing. Now, there is a big race
on in Washington. not to determine
who is fleetest of foot. but who can
grow the best produce. do the best
sewing or cooking. or make the best
useful articles. In this race some
will win prizes, but all will gain ex-
perience which will be of lifelong
value.
Owing to the fact that this is
our first statewide fair, all you need
to do to get your exhibits entered
at Spokane Is to do the work your
self, and exhibit at one county or
local fair first. If you have gard
ems your county superintendent will
instruct you to take only half for
he county fair. leaving the other
half to grow larger for the state
fair. You will also be allowed to
bake fresh bread for the state fair.
Clip this letter and save it, and your
county superintendent and will
send you other messages from time
to time. So. have a good time.
keep your gardens green. and watch
YOUR newspapers for more news of
ihe biggest and most interesting
race the schools of Washington have
ever taken up"

A SPOILED RAID

All thought of panic or depress-
ed financial or business conditions
in this country has vanished, ac-
cording to reports from New York,
which say that money is easy, and
charges for it declining" says the
Port Angeles Olympic-Leader.
Eastern newspapers attribute the
present improved state of mind to
the announcement of Secretary Of
the Treasury McAdoo that emer-
gency money to the extent of $780,
900. 900 will be available for crop
movements.
The Eastern press appears gen.
orally to admit that folks on the
Street had made up their minds to
raid the market and start trouble.
Whether or not the credit for spoil
ing the scheme is due McAdoo Is
the only point in dispute. The Sun
says not 1t is noticeable, how
ever, that the decision OF the Ma
tional City Bank to loosen its hold
on it's large reserve surplus came on
the afternoon of the day the an
nouncement was made from WASH
ington of McAdoo's intentions aud
was made only after his intentions
had become public property.
Crop conditions were never bet
ter, and basically, the country was
as sound as ever-sounder, II any
thing. Wall Street, however, pro-
posed to change all this, and fl
nancial ghouls stood around licking
their chops in anticipation of the
feast. The great demand for mon
IN ha tho
excuse of the trouble. Then, Nc
Adoo announced his Intentions. The
New York World, discussing these
intentions and the conditions that
prevailed both prior and following
their announcement, says:
1T was a master stroke, and the
best evidence that it has struck
home has been the churlish resent
ment with which it has been receiv-
ed in Wall Street. The bank fig
ures of yesterday show that 1t has
had the effect OF releasing millions
of the cash that had been boarded
by many of the leading institutions
in expectation of the high money
rates that the fall stringency would
produce. 1t has opened the aven-
ues of credit to the hard-pressed
merchant and manufacturer in a
way that is likely to revive CON-
mercial courage in a marked degree.
Zone Wall Street institution a
lone on Thursday invested $1,000
900 of its boarded resources in
commercial papers. The cash sur
plus of Clearing House banks dur
ing the week increased $8.824 100,
while their reserves increased &1O.-
973 900"
| The incident serves to call at
tention to the obvious fact that the
sooner the country is released from
the control of Wall Street and its
gamblers with other peoples mon
ey in other peoples prosperity, the
better. II there ever 10 another
BLACK Friday somebody ought to
60 to Jail, and the whole Wall
Street system to smash. That's ex-
actly what will happen, moreover.
The day cant come any too soon
for the welfare of the country at
large"
