Riots; Women Arrested

Trinidad, Col. - Twenty or more
persons, including eight women, are
under arrest and at least five are
known to be suffering from slight in
juries as the result of serious street
riot which took place here when the
militia, under the personal direction
of General John Chase, broke up q
mob of strikers and strike sympathiz-
ers which was attempting to march
to San Rafael hospital, where Moth
.er" Jones is held under military ar
rest.
Stones, bottles and bricks were
hurled at the militiamen by crowd
Of angry women, who precipitated the
outbreak when they were ordered to
turn back by the soldiers.
Several soldiers, including Major
H. M. Randolph, we're assaulted and
not until the cavalrymen with drawn
swords had charged the crowd several
times was the mob dispersed.
The riot followed parade of wives
and children of striking coal miners
which had been carefully planned by
union leaders. Permission to carry
the plans out had been granted by
General Chase, with the understand
ing that no effort would be made to
march to the hospital.

Olympia - Working girls, submit
ting estimates Of their cost Of living
to the Washington Industrial Welfare
commission, give $12.11 as the neces-
sary weekly wage to provide living
expenses and q reasonable allowance
for possible illness, vacations, insur-
ance, etc. Estimates by their en-
ployers, previously published, gave an
average Of $10.29 for the same list of
items.
A segregation Of the 1852 employees
estimates by occupations gives inter-
esting results. The estimates of the
laundry girls who replied averaged
only $10.44 per week. On the other
hand the telephone girls gave the
highest class estimate of $13.65. Fac
tory employees estimated their neces-
sary expenditures at $12.O1 per week,
employees Of mercantile establishments
at $12.08, Office workers at $12.27 and
mattresses at $13.07. .k.
The various items Of dress, which
the working girls estimated much
higher than did their employers, were
chiefly responsible for the difference
between the totals. Employees esti-
mated 81. 70 necessary for hose in the
course of year, $15.77 for hats, and
$500 for corsets. The employers es-
Inmates were 1924 for hose, $10.94
for hats and 1888 for corsets.
On some of the other items there
was remarkably little difference be-
tween the estimates of the workers

Timbermen's Union Will
Ask Eight-HOur Day

Olympia-An agreement reached by
the Public Service commission with
the Northern and Great Northern ex-
press companies provides that, be-
ginning February 1, the companies
will install new state rates, based on
the Interstate Commerce commissions
block system tariff, wherever these
are lower than existing rates, but will
retain old rates when they are lower.
The necessity of meeting the COM
petition of the American and Wells
Fargo companies, which, after Febru-
airy l, would be able to make inter-
state shipments from Western into
Eastern Washington under reduced
rates, forced the Northern and Great
Northern companies to the arrange
ment.

Pay for Federal Refugees;
Rebel Money Near Par

FL Paso. Tex.-General Salvador
Mercado, who commanded the Next
can federal army which was routed
from Ojinaga, Mex, has been PLACED
in command Of the camp Of his In
termed soldiers and refugees at Fort
Bliss. As token Of his continued
LOYALTY to the government at Mexico
City, General Mercado at once chris
tened the main street Of the camp
General Huerta. AL
though himself one Of the interned
refugees who are not permitted to
leave the reservation, General Mercado
was selected by the United States
army officials as best fitted to have
personl supervision over his men.
Water pipes were laid and all the
Mexicans were told that they must
battle regularly. Outdoor barbershops
also were provided.
The Mexican consul in 81 Paso
called at Fort Bliss to arrange to pay
some of the back salaries Of the Mexi-
can soldiers. He at first refused to
meet General Mercado, but later was
induced to confer with him. The
American officers said they had no au-
thority to negotiate for the payment
of salaries to the federals. The mon
ey said to be. available for the in
termed soldiers is $4,000, which was
taken from a federal paymaster at
Maria, Tex, who attempted to drive
through to Ojinaga when told by the
American border patrol to halt.
Japanese nationals will remain in
Chihuahua state for the present. s.

eminent, returned from conference
with General Villa. He said every
guarantee had been given that the
Japanese subjects would be unmolest-
ed. Most of the Japanese in the
north Of Mexico are engaged in agri-
cultural pursuits.
General Villa reported from Chi
huahua that rebel money was being
circulated in the interior at only q
small discount from the value of Mex
lean silver.
One object of General Villas forth
coming visit to Chihuahua is to confer
with representatives Of mining and
smelter interests. He is DESTROYS Of
