HEAVY DAMAGES
AGAINST UNITED
Mine WORKERS

Buffalo, Nov. 23-William Green,
secretary Of the United Mine Work
ers, announced before the American
Federation of Labor here today that
a telegram said that a verdict had
been given against the mine workers
for 100000 damages in the action
brought under the Sherman law by
the Bache Coal Co. for damage to
their property near Fort Smith, Ark.
The executive committee was in
structed to continue the fight and to
carry an appeal to the United States
supreme court if necessary.
''This is another instance of organ
lied labor being sued under a law that
was supposed to. be to catch the big
fellow" commented Secretary Green.
With the completion of the report
of the adjustment committee today the
committee on education was prepared
to. submit to the convention of the
American Federation of Labor recon-
mendation on several important reso-
lutions, including one protesting
against the change in rates on second
class postage included in the war
revenue law.
The resolution was submitted by
delegates representing the photo
graphers, the printing press men, the
stereotypers and book binders, the
Typographical union and the Inter
national Allied Printing Trade as
ISOLATION.
cit is the opinion of this conven-
tion," the resolution reads, chat the
system of rates on second class post
age will not raise revenue, but actually
destroy business from which the gov
eminent seeks revenue"

with the American Army in France,
Thursday, Nov. 22--(By the Associated
Press>-The enemy artillery firing is
more active along the American sec

numbers are falling on the rear areas
No new casualties have resulted.
In reprisal for the Smelling of the
town in which, the American head
quarters is located, during which a
shell fell on an American regimental

equal number of shells into the cor
responding town behind the German
lines the next day
Patrol1ing operations continue, with
nightly excursions to the vicinity of
the German wire defenses, but the
American have failed to encounter any
Germans and no further Casualties
have been reported.
The officers who have served their
turn in the trenches with the bat
talions already relieved have held a
meeting with the commander of the
first Contingent and discussed their ex-
periences. All agreed that actual
training in the trenches under fire is
the ideal method of acquainting Of

NEW HAVEN ROAD
ONLY 80 PER CENT.
"GOOD RAILROAD"

Boston, Nov. 23.-The hearing on
railroad rates was resumed here to-
day. Benjamin Campbell, vice presl-
dent Of the New York, New Haven &
Hartford railroad, in presenting a de-
tailed statement relative to freight and
passenger rates, said that only 80 per
cent of the New Haven system was
real good railroad" the rest being
lines that were not altogether self sus-
tanning.
He said there was no justification
for lower charge on mileage books
and that persons who insisted on par
.lor and sleeping cars should pay a
higher rate. The New Haven, he
added, has curtailed Pullman service
because it does not derive profit from
1t.
Answering questions as to freight
rates, Mr.. Campbell said special priv
ileges were not concealed in improper
ciassif1cations and that inspectors were
employed to see that the rules were
enforced.

CHICKENS FLEE
when MCNAMARA
FALLS ON STAIR

Scrambled chicken was not On the
menu for dinner at the Commercial
House, 637 Water street, today, but
that it did not become part of the bill
of fare is no fault attributable to
Raymond Mcnamara, aged 20, of 81
Hanover street.
Raymond works for his brother,
head of the Mcnamara Produce Co.,
of Water street, and was delivering a
crate of chickens at the hotel, this
morning, when he tripped and went
tumbling down an entire flight of
stairs, landing in a heap at the bot
tom.
The chicken crate broke, liberating
it's prisoners. The chickens made for
an open door, as Mcnamara started
rise, suffering only from a bad shak-
ing up, and might have escaped had
not McNamara's brother, who was
passing in an automobile at the time,
discovered the mix-up and rushed into
the hotel in the nick of time. He
turned the chickens over to the no
tel keeper, and then took his brother
home.
