was dead, and since Alice ran away
two years ago with poor clerk and he
had pronounced the sentence of exile
upon her, he had lived alone with his
servants.

laughed aloud.
He pushed back his chair inpatient

He took up a cigar and magazine,
but he could not read. From across
the shadows of the library his daugh-

out the canvas. She was the only one
he had left, and she was cast rigorous
ly aside. The face of the Great Man
worked suddenly in pain, and his head
fell forward on his arms.
And then-soft arms were about his
neck, and lips pressed to his cheek.

filled with melody.

however, they were able to grasp the reason for
this singular conduct, as large black bear came
into view at the same spot. but beholding the
men he at once took fright and made into the
woods. After splashing round in the lake for
some time the moose out, blew the water
from his nostrilS and stood only few yards away

of unusual size and had a magnificent set OF

The Great Man looked down with a

of the child arrested his attention, it
was so white and pinched; and the
eyes staring out of it so big and ear

cause a car was coming, waved aside
the change. In spite of his hurry, the
boys thanks struck strangely on his
ear.

The heart of the Christmas Child, for
a measly quarter, one of many thou

PRESIDENT URGES
PASSAGE OF THE
CHILD LABOR BILL

Washington. - President Wilson
caused a furry at the senate by APP
bearing, unannounced and unattended,
TO confer with leaders over the legis-
lative program for the remainder OF
the session. He talked with Vice
President Marshall, Majority Leader
Kern. Senators Williams, Martin,
owen, James, Hughes and Simmons.
The president impressed upon them
his desire that they pass a child labor
aw at this session. He was told that
he measure would meet with serious
objection on the part of southern
Democratic senators. Since the Re
publicans have indicated desire to
support the child labor bill, it is prob
able that the bill will be brought to a
vote before adjournment.
While the president was at the
capitol the senate agreed to the six
cen capital ships building program

ANOTHER COLORADO
Four Miners Already Slain Vic
tins of Gunmen-Steel Trust
More Vindictive Than j. ID.

Duluth. Minn.-Four men have been
killed in clashes between striking
miners and deputy sheriffs on the
ron ridge near this city, where cap
ital and labor are drawn up in battle
formation, and labor leaders say the
strike will be bigger than the Colo
RADIO strike of 1913,
They claim the Minnesota branch
of the United States Steel Corporation
is even more bitterly opposed to or
yanized labor than were the Rookie
fellers of Colorado.
Deputy sheriffs are protecting the
property of the steel corporation.
The strikers are armed, and
Governor Burnquist has ordered
the sheriff of St Louis County to
arrest forthwith and take before
magistrates, preferably at Duluth,
all persons who have participated
or are participating in riots
The steel trust, according to labor
leaders, is fighting the strikers with
gunner, detectives, courts and press"
The miners-about 17,000-are de-
handing $2.75 day for top men,
SO a day for miners in dry places,
$3.50 day for miners in wet places,
an eight-hour day, abolition of con-
tract labor, bi-monthly pay days, and
immediate pay when discharged or
quitting.
Strikers say miners in Arizona and
Montana are receiving $3.50 a day;
chat laborers in Butte are getting
$3.50 a day, and harvesters every
where are being paid 81 a day.
In proclamation issued by the
striking miners it is claimed that:
Twenty thousand miners have left
the mines
More than 1000 have been sworn in.
Steam shovels at the mines are idle
and hte drills silent
The three labor leaders who were
arrested have been charged with muir
uCi' Int. Idu DteH dlIeStu three
times before, but had been bailed out
by friends. The murder charge was
made, labor men declare, so as to hold
the leaders in jail
The funeral of the miner, John
Alters, was the occasion of big labor
demonstration. The striking miners
carried huge banner in the funeral
procession inscribed, Murdered by
Oliver Gunmen."
The Minnesota National Guard is
now out of state control, on account
OF the Mexican situation, but the
navau militia is available, and it is
said, might be called to the iron
range to establish military law.

Rolph. Is there any wonder that the
bunkoed at this time? Little wonder
that some of these men are wealthy
and that one at least, Michael Casey,
IS said to be a millionaire. McLaugh-
lin. one of the measliest of the whole
bunch, is out for the governorship of
the State of California, and to what
better purpose could portion of the
slush fund be put?
During one meeting of the En-
ployers' Union and the District Board,
when the employers demanded the
men return to work under the old
scale of wages and conditions in
vogue prior to the strike of June 1,
Common, Seattle member of the
board, stated he dare not ask the
members of his local to return to
work upon any such terms. Captain
Bennett, the president of the San
Francisco Waterfront Employers
Union, said: We'll, Mr.. Conner, we
have a nice climate here and a nice
city and lots of work; why not come
here?" The already bought mounte-
banks of the Waterfront Federation
looked gravely and expectantly at
Common under the impression he was
open for business as they themselves
were.
For the sake of paltry dollars these
political labor fakirs have prostituted
and attempted to sell to the enemy
the force of LABOR. But despite the
Judas policy of these cowardly
traitors we know the bulk of the long
shoremen of Frisco will stand by their
brothers.
Though Frisco fails us, which we
do not believe, we in Seattle will not
fail. With the exception of Frisco, all
stand firm. mo Compromise" is our
slogan We know what we want and
how to get it.
Though Frisco fails us, We'll fight
and we'll win.
