WILL ORGANIZE ALL
STATE COAL MINERS
But the Case against Judge
Aston G. Dayton Has Moth
ing to Do with 1t.
(From Chas. Brooks smith

WASHINGTON, d. c., June 25.-
According to representative Of the
United Mine Workers, there is no
prospect of permanent peace in the
mining regions of West Virginia un-
til that state is completely unionized
or the miners organization becomes
bankrupt. There is no fear of the
latter happening, this official says.
According to him the unionization
of the mines in the southern part of
the state has made remarkable and
gratifying progress, especially in the
Kanawha and New River districts.
Along the Norfolk and Western he adj
mtts that the fight there has not yet
begun, nor in the Fairmont district in
the northern part of the state. But
these are fields which are destined to
be invaded in the future. They have
been left alone, because. the union
had its hands full with the Kanawha
and New River fields, and its plan of
campaign was to take one mine-pro-
ducing region at time. It Is an in
dustrial war that, he says, will re-
quire years of time, excessive patience
and huge treasure. He declares that
the victory has virtually been won in
the Kanawha and New River fields,
and with the acceptance of the CHECK
on" agreement in the Kanawha field,
which is about to be accepted by the
remaining operators who had held
out against 1t, he declares that
another great advance has been made
in unionizing the mines of the state.
Asked If the attempt of the union
to have Judge A. G.. Dayton, of the
Northern district impeached, was a
preliminary step of the union to an
invasion of the Fairmont region, he
answered that while 1t might appear
SO on the face of it, it was not, as the
union had no means Of knowing that,
II 1t were successful in its prosecu-
ton OF Judge Dayton, his successor
would be any iAore satisfactory to the
labortng class. However, and he
smiled. he couldn't be any worse
from our standpoint"
The fact is" he continued, that
we have undertaken, to prosecute
Judge Dayton both because he is a
violent foe to union labor and we
have a strong case against him,
strong enough in our opinion when
all the facts are presented to warrant
his impeachment. The action was
not taken as preliminary to our en-
tering on the fight in the Fairmont
field. When we get ready to start on
that campaign Judge Dayton, or no
jnFist who is known to be unfriendly
to US will deter US. The strike at
Golfers was but an incident. and
nothing especially to do with our plan
of campaign when the fight begins IN
earnest in the Fairmont field. It
was, however, of importance to us In

BRYAN AND CHINDA
AGREE TO PUBLISH
Correspondence Concerning
CALIFORNIA; Land Law in
Both Countries.

WASHINGTON, June 25.-By mu-
tual arrangement between Secretary
Bryan and Ambassador Chinda the
correspondence between the United
States and Japan over the California
alien land law is to be published in
both countries simultaneously tomor-
row morning. The correspondence
begins with the Japanese protest of
May, 1913, in advance of the enact
ment of the Webb law and winds ,up
with the latest note of yesterdays
date making answer to a Japanese
communication of ten months ago.
The correspondence is naturally volu-
minous Tor the reason that it Is large
ly argumentative; the Japanese gov
eminent endeavoring to show that the
California law Is violation of the
existing treaty while the American
side of the case lays great stress up
on certain language Of the treaty
which apparently almost in terms ex-
cludes japanese from the right to
hold agricultural lands.
The last American note was an
afterthought. State department off,
Gals felt that the only way to clear
away the difference would be through
legal test of the constitutionality
of the California legislation and they
inclined to the belief that it remained
Tor the japanese government to make
this test through a suit Instituted by
Japanese resident of California.
Now, however, new cabinet has
come into existence in Japan which Is
commonly understood to be pledged
to more energetic foreign policy
than the one 1t displaced and as an in
ctdent 1t has felt called upon to make
report to the Japanese diet now In
special session of the status Of the
California negotiations.

WAY MAIL PAY
IS INADEQUATE NOW
AS Much Express Business Has
Been Transferred to That
Service.

WASHINGTON, June 25.-A con-
flict between the legislative and adj
ministrative branches of government
appears in the presentation of the So
called Moon postal bill, understood to
have been confirmed by the postal au-
thorities and introduced in the House
at the same time that joint commit
tee of Congress is undertaking the
preparation of bill on railway mail
pay after thorough investigation
which has been made during the past
year.
In this investigation representa-
tives of the Postoftice Department and
the Interstate Commerce Commission
co-operated with the congressional
committee. A special committee of
the American Railway Association, of
which Ralph Peters, president OF the
Long Island railroad, is chairman, has
also worked with the congressional
committee and the railroads general
ly have furnished a large amount of
data requested to develop the whole
subject.
It was expected that growing out
of the investigation of the congress
sional committee headed by former
Senator Jonathan Bourne, Jr., of Ore
gon, would develop the facts both
from the sides of the Postofice De
partment and the railroads, so that
a plan affording the greatest economy
in handling the mail might be effected
and which at the same time would
grant the railroad such compensation
as they are reasonably entitled to for
the SnrVira narfnrroad
Transferring the express business
from which the railroads derived
compensation In such large quantities
to the postal service without adequate
provision in the matter of pay Is said
to have imposed an undue burden up
on the railroads and led Louis 1
Brandeis, special counsel Of the Inter

Villas Men Take 5000 Feder-
al Prisoners and Quentity
of Ammunitions.
cITYs DEAD ARE 1000
Villa Thinks Not More Than
500 of His Men Are Dead
and 800 Wounded.
~ Anrncl.rrn rnr..,

ZACATECAS, Mex, June 25.-Af-
ter four days of preliminary fighting
the final assault on Zacatecas took
place Tuesday resulting in the cap
ture Of the city by the Constitutions
alists at 1880 p. m. General villa
himself gave the following account
of the battle:
After four days hard attacks, to-
day was the decisive one. The en-
envy, numbering $4,000 commanded
by Medina Barron and five other
generals, were defeated completely
by my forces which were aided eff
fectively by General Natera's men.
UpNto this moment we have 5000
prisoners, twelve cannon, nine
trains. two carloads of ammunition
and nearly 5000 Mauser rides and
a large quantity of provisions and
other munitions of war.
"The enemy, who escaped, went in
the direction of Auguas Palientes,
after dynamiting the postofflce, the
state treasurer's Office and the
stamp revenue Office buildings. The
explosions killed many of our men
and destroyed part of the city. The
dead of the enemy number 1000 and
about 1000 wounded.
ON our part we can not tell the
losses of the battle, which lasted for
five consecutive days, but / think
there are not more than 500 dead
and 500 wounded. Among the lat
ter are General Herrera and Cen
eral Rodriguez, who were severely
wounded. Our artillery operated
splendidly. The federals destroyed
every fort, the last being FL Grille"
The fiercest fighting on both sides
and unusually high loss of life to
both federal and Constitutionalists
ended last night in the capture of
Zacatecas by General Villas forces.
1t required four days of battle to
take the federal stronghold of Cen
trail Mexico.
The federals, under General Bar
ron, defended their positions stub
bornly. But they finally were over
come by the forces of General Villa
and General Natera. The Constitu-
tionalist soldiers scaled hill after hill
and mountain after mountain. So
far it has been impossible to obtain
an accurate estimate of losses on
both sides. The heaps of dead on the
mountain sides and in the city bore
testimony Of the ferocity of the
fighting.
General villa was in the van of
the attacking party. Five members
of his staff accompanying him were
wounded. The number of Constitu-
tionalist officers killed or wounded
was unusually great. General Rod
riguez, one of Villas best brigade
commanders, was shot through the
throat and is not expected to live.
The rebels in many cases had to
advance on hands and knees. Moth
ing seemed to lessen the determine
tion of Villas troops though the fed
erals had thrown up trenches on all
sides. Hillsides Afforded no cover
for the attacking troops. The cor
don of the defense gradually mar
rowed until the last hill on the out
skirts of the city fell into the hands
of the rebels.
