In the mining town Of Bitumen, in

personal supervision of Kehr. had built

the town by rail. Both belligerents main
tained a system Of sentries, and a gen
uine state of war existed. More than one
striker had been given a public funeral;
more than one strike breaker had de-
parted from Bitumen in a narrow box.
So much was clear. Less clear were
the causes which had led to actual
violence. 1t Is enough that they led
to demand for larger wages and snort

owners, and intrenching himself behind
the statement that too many such de-
mands had been acceeded to In the
past, had peremptorily, and in manner
not tended to conciliate. refused. A
general strike had been called. strike
breakers and special deputies had been
called in. and there had been dynamit-
inE and sudden death.
The leaders were somewhat alike.
Each had supreme contempt and even
hatred for the class which the other
