r AuROADS TO GIVE
STILL MORE EVIDENCE
And An Early Decision on the
Rate Advance Question is
Now Improbable.
cpv ASSOCIATES PnEss,

WASHINGTON, D. 10, Mar. "a
The Interstate Commerce Commis-
sion will take additional testimony
os the railroads before deciding the
eastern advance rate case. As Apr1'
20, 81 and % are the first days
available such an announcement to-
day is taken to indicate no decision
before that time.
The commissions ailusion to the
probable necessity of taking the final
testimony as late as April 81 was
received in official circles as evidence
to contrcver. recent reports that
decision was about to be given ol6
Those well informed on the commits
sion's procedure pointed out that the
statemnt today supported a previous
conclusion that the DEC sion PROB
ably would be handed down before
the commission recesses for the
summer months in June.
The desirabIity for an early de-
cision has been conveyed to the com
misioners from many sources. Var
Gus report have gone so far as TO
interpret President WflRcUs attitude
as favorable to the entry but the
president had repeatedly told inquir-
ers that while he had his own opiD-
ion he never had expressed it to any
one as he regarded the case as being
before a quasi-j judicial body.
The railroads have already sub
mitted evidence at one set of hear
ings and the shippers have had their
innings. The question of allowances
by railroads to large industrial plants
and proposed charges for services
now free have entered into the ques-
ton and will be among the elements
to determine it.

On Charge of FeIoniousIy Cut
ting is John Hostoviski, a
Lost Greek Coal Miner. :

John Hostiviski, an italian coal
miner, has been held for the next
term of the criminal court by Justice
Jackson v. Carter on charge of
feloniously cutting August Stralat, a
fellow countryman, while engaged in
a fight at coal mine near Lost Creek
March Is. Hostiviski was unable to
furnish bond and was sent to Jail.
Stralat, who is a patient in a local
hospital, was not able to appear at the
hearing but the story of eye witnesses
of the affair was that Stralat, husky
young Italian, was the aggressor in
the affair, having started the fight
by calling Hostiviski, who is small
and elderly man, bad names. When
the elder man was getting the better
of the fight, it was stated, Stralat
pulled a knife out of his pocket and
tried to stab Hostiviski with it, but
the elder man took the knife away
from Stralat and stabbed him in the
abdomen several times, infiicting ser
ious if not fatal injuries.

FIGHTlNG VERY DESPERATE
But VILLA Is CONFlDENl

OTHER REBEL VICTORIES

desperate fighting was still in prog
ress at Gomez PaIacio at the gateway
of Torreon at II o'clocFlast night
when the last dispatches came
through, General Villa felt so conf
dent of victory that ne returned to
the main base at Bermejillo to teie-
graph to Chihuahua and other points
about the handling of supplies and
the movement of troops.
The rebels are reported to have Tor
reon closely invested and last reports
were that the whole army are con-
fident of the early fall of the federal
The occupation of Lerdo
almost without resistance and the ex-
pected victory at Gomez Palaclo
would leave only Torreon to be taken
to complete the first stage of the
march to Mexico City.
The conquest of MaZatlan Saltlllo
and, Monterey is taken for granted by
the rebels once the main federal force
under General Valesco at Torreon is
conquered.
In Official circles here, although
dispatches ceased, it was felt that
villa would triumph at Gomez Palacio,
which is only three miles from Tor
reon. before the day was over.
The defense of the city came as a
surprise to the rebels who assumed
that only a nominal resistance would
be made by the Huerta forces.
The achievements reported to have
been rushed into the city by General
velasco we're unexpected and when
the last reports were received last
night it was not known definitely on
which banner victory would perch.

Where Sheriff's Force of Dep
titles is Unable to Cope with
! Rioting Strikers.
TO DECLARE MARTIAL Law
Buffalo Street Car Men Refuse
to Haul Troops to Scene of
the Strike.

or ASSOCIATED PASS

DEPBW, y. Y. Mar. 24-Day-
Break found Depew an armed camp.
The Seyenty-fourth regiment OF
militia ordered out at the request OF
Sheriff Becker, whose rorce of depu-
ties was unable to handle the riot
ing strikers at the Gould Coupler
works yesterday, began to arrive be-
fore dawn and by a. m. the plant
was under military protection.
The question of placing the whole
town under martial law was discuss
ed by the national guard officers at
a conference later in the day.
The special train of the Lackawan-
ma railroad which was held up and
wrecked yesterday came through
from Buffalo to the plant today un-
der military protection.
A detail from the Saventy-fourth
regiment guarded the transit road
crossing. the scene of yesterday $
rioting in which one man was killed
ana several injured. There was no
syn of trouble there today.
The departure OF the First battal-
ion Of the SeVenty-fourth regiment
from Buffalo was delayed half an
hour because of the refusal of the
motormen, acting under orders from
their union officials, to move the
street cars after the soldiers went on
board The -motormen brought the
W
armory. but when the first soldiers
stepped on board all left their posts.
Major Kemp ordered the motormen Ia
deave their controllers on the con-
troIIer boxes and all but one of them
did so. When he refused to give "
nD he was promptly knocked down
with the butt end of rifle. The cars
were then manned by supervisors OF
the international Street Railway
Company and one or two SOLO er
electricians:
The street car men. who deserted
their posts. were suspended. Tne
union officials later demanded their
reinstatement today and rumors OF
a threatened street railway strike
were current.
The refusal of International Rail
way Company employees to move street
cars carrying national guafdsiheu
Acreated a sharp issue today between
the company and the. Amalgamated
Association of Street Electric En-
Uloyes. President q. @. Connette,
OF the International, confirmed the
action of the supervisors in suspend
ing the motormen and conductors
comprising the crews of six cars.
When this word was carried to tue
haaduuarters of the street car men
can was at once issued for meeting
of the grievance committee and 1t was
announced by President G. S. Conroy'
Of the local union, that a formal de-
mand would be made for the reinstate-
ynant of the men. In addition to the
crews of the six cars fourteen otheF
men. who refused to take their places.

LONG SERVICE MINERS
ARE ALL COMMENTED
And Do Not Live in SquaIor
Like Those Who Come for
only Short Stay.

CHARLESTON, Mar. 24.-The re-
cent return of several West Virginia
miners, from Mcdowell county, to
their homes in Italy after they had
been in the field a few months over
ten years has given rise to consider
able speculation as to the average
length of service of all the mine work
ers in the state.
investigation has disclosed that
there are available statistics on this
subject that have developed some in
teresting facts There are twenty
four different nationalities in the coal
fields of West Virginia. The fact that
a large proportion OF the Immigrant
Iaborers come over here ana WORK
for five or ten years tends to bring
down the average length oil service OIL
the miners collectively.
These short term workers nave
found the wages ample to enable
them to save enough money in this
length of time to support themselves
in comparative leisure and comfort IN
their native lands.
During their sojourn in West V1r-
ginia some of them have elected TO
live in the most squalid manner, say
ing every penny, custom whlch mas
given rise to much agitation IN the
minds of social workers who fail to
realize that the objects of their pity
have large deposits in the savings
banks and retire eventually to relative
opulence in their European homes.
These thrifty workers spread. the
news of what they have been able to
do and find many imitators, thus sery-
ing to keep the West Virginia fields
constantly supplied with labor.
Fhere are many men who have been
in the employ of the coal companies
for fifteen or twenty years and longer
and a large number of these men VINO
have been in the mines long time
are almost all arrayed on the SIDE
of the opposition of labor troubles, but
are overruled, when trouble arises, by
the constant influx of impatient young
men, who find progress slow or have
been deceived by the tales of easy
wealth before they emigrated to Amer
lea.
for ten years or more" said an opera
tor. cor ev N if we could educate them
as fast as they are employed, we
should never have any more labor
troubles. Experience teaches q man
that an employer who meets pay
roll, which is admitted to be liberal,
regularly twenty six fortnights in the
year is not 10 universal that he should
be lightly abandoned or defied or his
economic activities unnecessarily
hampered." ~ .4 -
