STRIKERS SUE FOR
100000 DAMAGES
Take Advantage Of Conspiracy
Law Used Against Them
Members Of MoIders Union Of BRIDGE
port, Conn.,, Claim DAMAGES for
False Arrest and intimidation

BRIDGEPORT, Conn, Sept. 3O.-Un-
der the same conspiracy law that gave
basis for the suit of Bridgeport foun-
drymen against the Molders Union and
labor organizers, three of the strikers
have instituted action for 100000 dam
ages against the Monumental Bronze
company and officials of the concern.
Two of the strikers allege they were
assaulted in pursuance of conspiracy
in behalf of the Monumental Bronze
company and Ellis N. Sperry, president; (;
Charles Robinson, foreman; Fran k
Clancey, superintendent, and j h n
Thompson, all employees of the concern.
Each asks $4,000 damages. Two also
allege fraudulent arrest, asking $4,000
each.
The action was instituted thru the
Molders Union here after a conference
between Organizer P. F. Duffy of the
American Federation of Labor; William
b. Rubin, of Milwaukee, and Attorney
Vincent l.. Kea ating, counsel for the three
plaintiffs. 1t is taken in retaliation for
the 100000 suit brought by foundrymen
against the labor organizers and the
strikers and the arrests that have been
caused by the foundrymen.
Property of the Monumental Bronze
company bank accounts of the corpora
tion and Sperry in the First Bridgeport
national bank, savings Of Robinson and
Sperry in the City savings bank were
attached this morning by deputy sher
iff, who tied up about $65,oo0 in all.
Denver labor bulletin., 1916-10-07

No money belonging to Thompson and
Clancy was found, and they are being
sought this afternoon with body writs.
John Skudlarck charges that he was
assaulted, beaten, bruised and maltreat-
ed in pursuance of conspiracy and
confederation acting in behalf of the
Monumental Bronze company and the
men mentioned, and that the defendants
directed and caused the beating. The
same is alleged by John Zaleeki, who
further charges that he was hailed to
court after the beating at the instiga
tion of the defendants, with malicious
design to injure. John Brenan alleges
he was also hailed to court for the same
reason.
Organizer Duffy, who is a defendant in
the 100000 suit brought by the foun-
drymen and conducted the strike, said
today:
"These men were riding bicycles on a
lonely road when the employees of the
plant drove up in an automobile, al
lowed thugs to beat the riders, and then
drove away. Subsequently they caused
the arrest of the men they beat, charg-
ing them with having thrown stones. 1t
was done to intimidate them"

James A. Kidd assumed charge as sup
erintendent OF the city shops Monday
morning, his appointment having been
announced at the city hall last Satur-
day. He succeeds James Olcott, who

has been transferred from the health in
spection department to the general in

Especial Correspondence).

FORT WORTH, Texas, Oct 2.-The
nineteenth general convention of the
United Brotherhood of Carpenters and
Joiners of America adjourned last FRI
day after a session lasting ten days.
This came as a surprise to many dele
gates who had believed that the ses-
sions would be prolonged into this week.
The most noteworthy act of the con-
vention was the agreement Friday morn
ing by practically unanimous vote that
the New York unions which We're sus-
pended by General President Hutcheson
should be reinstated with all their rights
and privileges conditioned upon the per.
formance of certain things, chief of
which was that the injunction now in
effect against the brotherhood officers i'll
New York be dissolved. The committee
which had been investigating the New
York situation reported at the morning
session and their recommendations We're
practically unanimously adopted.
Conditions of Settlement.
The conditions laid down by this com
mittee and the recommendations mainly
are as follows:
That the injunction restraining Presi-
dent Hutcheson from organizing a Great
er New York Council of new local unions.
from disorganizing local unions in that
district and from disciplining members,
be dissolved.
That suspended members and "loyal''
members recharter with not more than
twenty-five local unions in the district,
instead of sixty-nine, as at present.
That suspended unions settle up finan-
cially with the brotherhood.

SONG.
Only the dust is here, thy dust
But when chill May uncloses
Her petals and is June, feel
A heart beat shake the roses.
Earth and the sun were sweet TO us.
Green grass and brooks and laug-
And q cannot think Of thee a ghost
Within some strange hereafter.
Dawn and the hills were glad OF us,
Tossed corn and windy mead
And should not know thee as .
shade.
Palldd among pale shadows.
Stars and the streams were friends
70 us.
Clear skies and wintry weather
And it was not wrath and wrath
with us,
But flesh and blood together.
Only the dust Of thee Is here
But when mine own day closes
l will lie down beside thee, love,
And mingle with thy roses.

Douglas Fairbanks Tonight.
He comes up smiling" fits Douglas
Fairbanks to perfection. The boyish
star OF tonight's picture at the Grand
The Habit of Happiness" surely was
made to radiate good humor That he
has already become the most popular
juvenile in filmdom is due to his IA
nous, always CHEEKY good. nature.
The Keystone comedy. attraction
for tonight is called 1.-THE Village
Vampire" 1t Is in 2 acts Of uproar-
Gus fun and features the popular
comedian Fred Mace.
This program for tonight, and to-
morrow's also, is especially chosen
to Offset the depressing heat now up
on us. But at the Grand every day,
every night, you will find it much
cooler by many degrees than outside
The Grand is kept tightly closed dur
ing the day and when opened at night
is aired from openings on all sides
and by many electric fans. Besides,
cool air is now brought into the thea
ire from under the floors and the
warm air expelled through a large
opening in the roof. Manager Dodge
rightfully claims the Grand to be the
coolest place one can spend pleas
ant evening.
The Habit of Happiness" is a
edy-drama, one of the brightest
films Douglas Fairbanks yet has ap'
peared in. The young comedian has
the curious profession of curing down
hearted people of the blues.
One of his patients Is a grabbed old
millionaire; and Fairbanks takes his
case only because the old boy has a
beautiful daughter well worth going
after. In the course of his strenuous
efforts to cure his patient, Fairbanks
unearths a Wall street plot to rob
him of his money; and how he defeats
this without losing single laugh Is
swift action that carries through
nearly three reels out of the five in
ll.-Advertisement.

Harry Warder and his brother, DR..
Warder, both now of Corydon, Iowa,
are visiting this week with their par
ents in town. Harry was for number
of years the manager Of our telephone
company, and went to Corydon for
similar work. The doctor was locat-
ed at Nauvoo for some time.
State Senator Compton Of Macomb,
was in town Wednesday. The senator
like most candidates, is a genial gen.
tleman, just before election time, but
he is not like some Of them for he is
all right all the time. He has been
in the public service a number OF
years and has filed the highest places
with ability Of the highest order.
Parties representing large shoe
firm of Chicago came up from Quincy
and examined our shoe factory one

Tuesday, during the thunder storms
which passed over and around US, a
barn on the place of Ray Plkington
northwest of E1vaston, was struck by
lightning and burned. IN it was some
hay. corn, oats. buggy and other ar
ticles, all Of which were lost. There
was some insurance on the property
but probably not enough to cover the
loss.
We wish to offer slight tribute to
the memory Of Judge John D. Miller,
Of Carthage, who died very suddenly
on Monday, at his home. The writer
had known him since some time In
the early seventies, and always re.
garded him most highly. He was at
home when among the mass of rec.
ords in the old court house, and he
never appeared happier than when
clearing away the cobwebs of uncer-
tainty, which yelled some well-nigh
forgotten thing OF the past. When we
20 to Carthage, it will be long time
before we shall cease to look for
face and to hear a kindly voice which
welcomes us no more.

HAMILTON, ILL, JULY 20.

Mr.. and Mrs. Dennis Coffman are
enjoying a visit from MI. COfman's
brother, J. H. Coffman Of Windsor,
Mo. The brothers served during the
civil war together in the same regi.
ment, and so the tie between them
is particularly strong.
J. K McWilliams is staying for a
few days with his nephew, B. G. Nc
Williams. The uncle.s present home
is at Liberal, Mo-, but for good
many years, he was some twenty-five
miles west of Dubuque, going up there
in quite early day.
We see in late number of the
Decatur Herald, an account of the
death in hospital at that place Of
John A. Leas, at the age Of seventy
nine. The article states he was free
Mason for fifty years, and this is prac-
tically correct, as we find he petition
ed for the degrees In Black Hawk
lodge in September 1857, and appar-
emily he took the Blue lodge degrees
soon after. For a number of years
he was treasurer of the lodge. The
writer came to Hamilton in 1885 and
thinks the Leas family had removed
to Keokuk shortly before. For many
years he was a railroad clerk for the
Wabash and @. B. G. O., at Keokuk.
In 1897 he moved to Decatur, where
his son Chas. Leas had located in
1896. John Jeas was born in Han
overy York county, Pa, June IL. 1887,
and was married f1fty-eight years ago
to Miss Minnie Tulley in Keokuk. Chas.
was their only child. All old residents
of Hamilton knew Mr.. Leas well, and
held him in universal esteem. We
cannot find just the year of his COM
ing to Hamilton, nor the date of the
going. but it was not far from a per
iod Of twenty years in the COS and
SOS when the John Leas family was
an important part Of US. May peace
be with him.
