MINE WORKERS
 WILL NOT STRIKE:

Indianapolis, Ind, March 31. The United Mine Workers of America will not participate in any general strike on July 4th in behalf of Thomas Mooney, convicted of complicity in a bomb explosion in San Francisco in g preparedness day parade. An- nouncement that the executive board of the miners had decided against participation in such a strike was made here today through the United Mine Workers Journal, the official publication of the union.
 The executive board says that the convention of the International Work ers' Defense League, of San Francis co, held in Chicago, which issued the strike call, was not authorized by the American labor movement thru the American Federation of Labor and the International Union of the United Mine Workers was not repres- ented officially at the convention and and is not bound by the action taken there. The membership of the mine workers' organization cannot partici- pate. in any such strike without yiov lation of tic fund ndamental laws govr erning the uniof, and abrogating the joint agreement under which miners now are working, the executive cons mfttee said.

100 LABORERS AND GAR WORKERS ARE
 LAID OFF AT SHOPS
Cotton Belt Official Says Move Made to Reduce
 Force to Normal.

According to an order which has been received at the Cotton Belt shops, about hundred laborers and car workers will be laid off today This order, as stated by G. D. Nc Gibbony, head of the rip track de partment, is only local in effect, and merely means reducing the force to normal
 "We had quite surplus," he stat CT, land this order just means trim ming off the edges and getting the force down to normal"
 All of the Cotton Belt officials are out of town with the exception of one. J. w. Blackburn, head of the To- comotive department of the Cotton Belt, was questioned last night, but stated that he had just returned from Little Rock, and was not in a positive to give any information con- corning the matter.
 The other Cotton Belt officials are now in St. Louis in conference con- cerning the laying off of employees and other matters it is stated. Mir. Blackburn said last night that he did not know whether the decrease in the force today would become gen. eral throughout the shops or not. He stated that he didn't know how far it would 20, or what departments it would strike, or whether it would strike any more or not
 E The lay off which becomes effect i've today is thought by many to be but a forerunner of general re- trenchment scheme which will effect all of the rail roads, and that it is necessary because of the fact that the railroads where handicapped by fail ure of congress to pass appropriation legislation blocked by the republican filibuster.

After being out about five hours, the jury last night returned ver- dict of not guilty in the case of Dr. with complicity in the theft of two 52-gallon barrels of alcohol from the Missouri Pacific railroad in the local freight yards on the night of Febru- ary third.
 The trial began yesterday morning, but the greater part of the morning was spent in selecting the. jury. Prosecuting attorYey E. w. Brock man made his opening statements, after which the court was adjourned until after dinner.
 T. Havis Nixon, attorney for the defense, began the afternoon ses-t sion with his opening statements to the jury. After about AS minutes the examination of witnesses began.
 The state summoned three men, Huggins, Pultz, and Sharp, who con- fessed to the stealing of the alcohol, and who all stated that Dr. Root was an accomplice. The state used corro- batting evidence to the effect that Dr.. Root had tried to sell the alcohol to the Pine Bluff bottling works, and that when he had taken his car to a
 garage after the alleged crime had been committed for the purpose of
 having his brakes refined, the pro- prietor of the garage noticed a den- ted-in place on the rear of the car which the state attempted to prove We're plac.l sn it. Y. ..>Eyp M .!ls Dents In Car. 1 The defense met the corrobating evidence of the state with evidence
 to show that the dents in the back of ] the car had been made by a trunk
 which had been hauled on the back
 of the car at Noble Lake. The de- fendant was the main witness for the defense, and upon the stand, de- nied all of the statements made by
 Pultz, Huggins, and Sharp in regard 1 to his complicity in the crime. The defense used considerable evidence of
 a character tending to show that the defendant was man highly res pected and had lived above reproacli. The, trial of Pultz, Huggins, and Sharp will begin this morning at g. o'clock.

 Launched at Bristol.

 Thousands had assembled to see the launching and witnesses of the accident say the scaffolding seemed to turn over, precipitating it's occu- pants into 25 feet of water. The &C., cident happened four minutes before the launching was scheduled to take place.
 Divers from Bristol and the Har- riman police and firemen are grap- bling in the swift waters of the Del aware for the victims but it is feared that the actual death toll may never be known.
 It will be impossible to check up the list of victims for several days, as the crowd included spectators as we'll as shipyard employees. < In an instant after the scaffOlding fell, the key piece of the Waukau, at which the workmen had been saw ing, parted and the big hull slid down the ways. The suction, it is feared, drawing some of the victims down to the bottom of the river.
 Some of the victims, practically all of whom were men, lnanaged to grasp the 1cAffolding and were pull ed to safety. A sailor in the crowd of spectators jumped overheard and pulled two drowning men ashore. The bodies recovered tonight were those of shipyard employees who lived in Bristol.
