Fatal Clash Between Strikers

Sacramento, Cal, Aug. 5.-Five com.
panies of the California national guard
are policing the hop fields of Wheat
land, in Yuba county, where four men
met death and eight were badly
wounded in clash between striking
hop pickers and sheriff's posse.
The strikers, led by Industrial Work

in an ugly mood, but Adjutant Gen

lief that if he could prevent a meet

The news of the death of District

Sheriff E. Reardon and the wounding
of Sheriff George Voss and others of
his posse spread rapidly through the
farming country and volunteer posses
hurried from every community to take
a hand.
The militia did not reach the scene
until nearly daybreak and in the
meantime several hundred armed
civilians had poured in from every d.

HEAVY SLASH IN
EXPRESS RATES
Sweeping Order Of Interstate
Commerce Commission.
COMPANIES MAY Make FIGHT
Declare They Cannot Stand an An.
nual Reduction of Fully $26, oo0,-
600 in Their Revenues.

Washington, Aug. 5.-Reductions in
express rates which will cost the com
panies fully $26,OOO,OOO a year-ap
proximately Is per cent of their gross
revenue-were ordered by the inter
state commerce commission, to be-
come effective en- or before Oct Is
1913. Notable reforms in practices
also were ordered.
The most important change pre-
scribed by the order is by way OF
modification of the present gradu.
ated scale of parcel rates. For pack
ages more than four pounds going
more than 200 miles and less than
1000 the new express rates are gen,
orally lower than the parcel post
rates; for more than 5000 miles tbs
rates are practically the same.
The report and order of the COM
mission, prepared by Commissioner
John H. Marble, are a virtual afirma-
ton of the findings of former Com
missioner Franklin K. Lane, now Sec
retary of the interior.
By prescribing so called block
system, dividing the United States
into $50 blocks, averaging $500 square
miles, 9OO,OOO,OOO different rates now
published by the express companies
will be reduced to less than 650,000,
and the interstate commerce commits
sion believes that the system points
the way to solution of the existing
maze Of freight rates.
Companies Expected to Fight.
The general impression in official
quarters is that the express com.
ranies will attempt to test by legal
means the constitutionality of the
commissions order.
The express companies had fled
statements indicating that the losses
of revenue under the proposed rates
would be intolerable and argued
strenuously that the establishment of
the parcel post had deprived them of
quite 80 per cent of the revenue they
formerly received from parcels OF
eleven pounds or less. They contend
ed that the express business could
not survive the losses from both
sources.
This is equivalent to saying" COM
ments Commissioner Marble in his re-
port, that the commission is called
upon to take from the shippers of the
country all the benefit that they re-
ceive from the parcel post and give
it to the express companies in the
form Of higher rates upon the remain
ing business"
The rate for newspapers and Pc
as we'll as for bread and
such articles for which specially low
rates now are charged, are substan-
TALLY the same as the present rates.

BOTH SIDES REMAIN FIRM
Michigan Mine Strike Develops Into
Finish Fight.

Calumet, Mich, Aug. 1--WE will
fight the mining companies to stand
STILL" said Vice President C. E. Ma
honey of the Western Federation Of
Miners at Calumet, when he read the
published refusal of the mining COM
panies, answering the request Of Gov
ernor Ferris that the companies and
strikers send committees to Lansing
to confer with him in regard to their
differences.
1--WE are willing to fight as long as
the federation and longer and the
mining towns here will crumble to
decay before we will recognize the
union" was the reply of the commit
tee representing the operators.
AS soon as the answer of the min
ing companies became known the
strikers organized a parade in which
5000 participated and marched
through Wolverine, Calumet and
Laurium. The parade was accom-
panied by large force Of cavalry and
an artillery section, with infantry sta
toned at many points along the line
of march.

Mlnnesotan viii Advise Ameri-
can Embassy.
HENRY LANE WILSON QUITS
State Department Accepts Resignation
OF Present Ambassador to Take
Effect on Oct. II.

Washington, Aug. Sanitation of
President Wilson's policy of media
ton with respect to Mexico was an
nounced when Secretary of State Bry-
an made public the fact that former
Governor John D. Lind of Minnesota
had left Washington for Mexico City,
where he will be the personal repre-
sentative of the president and adviser
of the American embassy.
To Mr.. Lind the president has en-
trusted the task of trying to induce
the federal government and the repre-
sentatives Of the rebels temporarily to
lay aside their differences pending an
election in Mexico, with the under
standing that the United States will
recognize the government which may
thus be brought into being.
While the formal statement given
out by Mr.. Bryan did not contain any
information as to Mr.. Lind's instruc-
tons from information gained from
other sources it can be said that the
above is the administrations program.
Mr.. Bryan's statement was as fol-
lows:
Adviser to the Embassy.
Former Governor John Lind of Min
nesOta has been sent to Mexico as
the personal representative of the
president to act as adviser to the en-
bassy in the present situation.
When the president is ready to
communicate with the Mexican au-
thorities as to the restoration of peace
he will male public his views. Gov
ernOr and Mrs. Lind departed for
Mexico over the Southern railway via
New Orleans and Galveston"
This announcement, which repre-
sents all that the administration is
willing to tell the country regarding
its Mexican policy at this time, fol-
lowed closely on the heels of the &C.
ceptance of the resignation of Henry
Lane Wilson as ambassador to Mex
leo.
Mr.. Lind virtually takes the place
in the embassy at Mexico, made va
cant by the dismissal OF Ambassador
Wilson.
Mr.. Wilson has been held on wait.
ing orders by the department of state
and Aug. IA will enter upon a status
of leave of absence, which will con-
tinue until Oct. IA, when his resigna-
ton will become effective.
Wilson Must Keep Away.
The administration has forbidden
Lis personal affairs between now and
Oct. IA.
The reason for this is that it is
known that should Mr.. Wilson return
tC Mexico City even as a private citi-
zen there would result a demonstra-
ton in his honor, in which Americans,
MeXicans and foreigners would par.
tIcipate
Democrat leaders here believe Pres.
ident Wilson made no mistake in Sc.
lecting Governor Lind for the impor-
tant mission to Mexico. The man the
Fl esident has selected as his special
representative in Mexico is a Norwe-
gian.
He served in the house of repre-.
sentatives on the Republican side at
the same time Mr.. Bryan was occupy.
ing seat on the Democratic side. In
1896 Lind went over to the Bryan !
cause as a "silver Republican" and,
has since been known as IAN original
Bryan man"
Mr.. Linds appointment came as a
surprise even to- the members of the
Minnesota colony.
