 Feeble,

London, Feb. 27, 4:40 a. m.-The allied fleet has bombarded interior forts in the Straits of the Dardanelles, according to an Athens despatch to Reuters Telegram company. The fire directed upon Fort Dardanos is said to have been particularly severe and the Turkish reply feeble. The Sedd d-el-Bahr lighthouse at the en- trance to the Dardanelles is in flames. The fort of Dardanos is the first to be passed after those which guard the entrance to thet straits.

not having placed the scales, MANY
of 5ths locals held special meetings
Sunday and Monday to decide just
what they will do and when theacase
was put to John Moore, the state pres
ident of the miners he asked them to
continue as they were, admitting that
the scale was decided upon 60 days
ago but was not signed for 10 days
later and rather than confuse the sit
uation he requested the miners to
continue as they were until July 81,
as at that time they would be sure
that the 60 days would be over. The
miners cannot understand the attitude
Of some of the operators, as some Of
them have made no effort to install
the scales. While it is not living up
to the agreement as made, it is not
expected that the organization will
become involved, as all differences
arising at the many mines will be
taken up and settled by the officials
and the operators involved.
Paying Assessment.
The appeal for the assessment sent
to the locals last week is meeting
with the encouragement the officers
expected would as the locals acting on
it are voting to accept the provisions
of the appeal and will pay the re-
quired amount each pay.
The organization paid the miners
of the district that are idle last week
SIS, 100000. With the regular strike
benefits that are paid and many min
ers working at other jobs at the pres
ent time, it is easy to figure 5000
miners still idle in the district across
the river.
The operators are in many cases
doing all that they can to put as many
men as possible to work, and where
a company operates more than one
mine they are doubling the men up
in the many rooms. If in the past
there was two men working in a
room they take a miner from the 9TH
err mine and place him with the two
men who were working the room. OF

week. and to Majority represent

to Washington to consult President
Gompers as to the best method Of
conducting the strike at the Reliable
Laundry at Toledo, conference hav-

remembered that the management Of
the Reliable Laundry made every ef-
fort to bride the president of the
Laundry Workers to revoke the char

return Mr.. Wonderlick, manager and
proprietor, was to pay him 81 10000
in cash and $4,000 eacA--year he
would keep a local out Of Toledo.
Mr.. Brock explained the situation to
the officers of the Toledo Central I'm

derrick was inviting trouble, it was
arranged to get his 81 100000 and use
it to fight him.
This was done and strike was de-

LOB OF Toledo has spent in addi-

own, almost 100000, to conduct this
fight and have decided to use the
weight and prestige of the American
Federation of Labor to whip this man
Wonderlick into line.
He had, when the strike was start

small change. The robber or robbers

BRADLEY ANNOUNCES
GREAT FEATURE
"Strongheart", Story of College Life
Coming Tomorrow
Night

The management of the Bradley the
ater has announced that on tomorrow
night, "Strongheart", the great story
of college life will be shown at the
popular playhouse in three parts. A
synopsis of the gripping play is given
as follows:
Frank Nelson and his sister, Doro-
thy, Of New York, while on a hunt
ing trip in the west, meet Strong
heart, the son of an Indian chief who
saves Franks life. They become
strong friends and afterwards Strong
heart goes east to attend Columbia
College where he becomes a great
favorite as a member Of the football
team. After a game with a rival team
in which stolen signals figure, Mrs.
Nelson gives a dance to the winning
team. Strongheart falls in love with
Dorothy and tells Frank that he wants
to marry her. Frank upbraids him
for daring to fall in love with a white
girl and orders him from the house.
Strongheart is afterwards accused of
stealing the lost signals but exposes
the guilty party and is cleared of the
charge by his fellows.
The next day Black Eagle arrives
with the news Of the death of Strong
hearts father and tells him of the
great need his tribe has for him now.
Dorothy, who has returned the love of
the young chief tries to dissuade him
and finally begs him to take her with
him but he sees his duty in another
light and leaves civilization to return
to his people.
The story all through is replete with
thrills and human nature and has
made decided hit everywhere it has
been shown.
