Chicago, Sept. 26.-Leaders of the
Big Four brotherhoods and affiliated

had voted for general strike rather
than accept a wage reduction, but
announced that the conservative
counsel of the leaders might prevail

that SO per cent. of the men will al

Jacksonville, Sept. 26.-Thetrial O.
John IL. Pope, local attorney, charged
with murder, entered its second weel
today with little indication as to wher
jury would be selected. 1t was the
general belief that the court would
direct the calling in of additional
talesmen tomorrow to replenish the
original venire, only ten of whom
yet remain to be examined.
Judge G. c. Gibbs, presiding, has
announced he would render deci-
sion tomorrow. which will weigh
strongly in the trial. He took under
advisement today, after much argu-
ment. by opposing counsel, the ques-
tion Of whether the state must show
that Pope acted premeditately to eff
feet the death of George H. Hick-
man, who was killed by Frank T.
Rawlings in the robbery of a local
theatre. Pope is charged, in the first
count of an Indictment, with first de-
gree murder while the second count
specifies that he abetted, conspired
and participated in the robbery that
resulted in Hickman's death.
Takes Question Under Amusement
Judge Gibbs took the controverted
point under advisement today after
having ruled against the defense
throughout the trial, when it inter-
)osed an objection to hypothetical
question asked of prospective jurors
" the state.
Attorney E. A. Waybright, of the
License, today set forth that the
tate must show premeditated de-
ign on the part of Pope to effect the
llling of Hickman in order to OBJ
ain a conviction under the first
ount of the indictment. The state

Miners Pooling Plan
Urged by Strong Men

INDIANAPOLIS, May 28,-The
national wage pool plan, favored
by British coal miners, is indorsed
by far-sighted coal owners and
statesmen, according to Henry
Evans, writing to the United Mine
Workers Journal from Earsdon,
England. The pool plan means
small tax on every ton Of coal to
be used to equalize wages.
The writer calls attention to a
report by the recent Sankey Com
mission, appointed by the govern
lnent, which shows that the cost Of
mining coal in $50 pits varied from
S312 to SIP a ton.
$50 the Standardization Of
wages says Mr.. Lewis, involves
the creation Of some arrangement,
by which the industry can be
treated for certain purposes as a
unity. This policy has been turned
down by the employers, and it has
been rejected by the government
but in spite Of that, the evidence
in favor of it is, | venture to say,
overwhelming. In 1894, after the
settlement Of the great strike, Sir
George Elliott, the great South
Wales coal owner, urged the pool
ing idea. Again, Sir Richard Red
mayne, the late chief mine inspec-
tor Of the British mines, and Sir
Arthur Loves Dickinson. men who
sat on the Sankey Commission.
whose characters are uuimpeach-
able, impressed it upon the COM
mission, mainly in the interests of
the coal consumer. The coal con-
trollers department was SO i'm
pressed with the financial waste
fulness of the present system that
it actually prepared and printed d
scheme Of unification Cor pooling).
Three other business men who were
opposed to naturalization were Sir
Arthur Duckham, Mr.. Balfour and
Sin Thomas Rayden. All these men
recommended that some measures
Of unification be brought into the
coal interests for the benefit of
the government and the consumers
Yet, mark you, the last five per-
sons named above We're the gentle
men selected by the government
and mine owners to represent them
on the Sankey Coal Commission.
Plainly, their advice has been ig-
nored by the employers and by the
government

CO-Ops Have No Profits

London, England, May %. In
opposing the attempt to enforce the
corporation profits tax on coop
erative societies, Sir John Simon
says:
"The scheme of cooperative So
ciety is in its essence this, that a
number of persons, who are called
the members, join together to make
purchases of goods and to distribute
these goods among themselves; the
actual purchase and distribution be-
ing of necessity carried out by some
managing body acting on behalf of
all the members. 1t is clear, there
fore, that an excess of the so-called
price at which the goods are dis
tributed over the price at which they
were bought is not profit in an
ordinary sense of that word; in
deed, the main object of the So
ciety is to prevent any profit
from arising at all.
"None of this money can pos
sibly be called a profit either of
the society or of it's individual
members. The position is just the
same as it would be if man gave
81 900 to his agent reported that
he had secured car for $500, and
returned to his employer the f200
less his commission and expenses,
and any other sum which his en-
ployer had instructed him to pay.
1t would not occur to anybody to
say that what the employer re-
ceived back was profit on the
transaction"

New Injunction Form

New York, May 2S.-"An injunc-
tion of a new-fangled kind" is what
officers of the International Ladies
Garment Workers union call an in
junction move against this union
by Cohen, Friedlander & Martoin
cloak manufacturers of Toledo, Ohio
This firm has strike on. 1t
comes to New York and tells JUS
tice McAvoy that it has given up
its shop in Toledo and wants to be-
come a jobber in New York, but the
union has hindered it by insisting
that it settle it's Toledo strike.
SO the firm concludes that the
union is intent on overthrowing the
government and wants an injunc-
tion against this "conspirative or
ganization."
The firm has engaged that stirl-
ing patriot and 900 per cent Amer
ican," Walter Gordon Merritt, well
known legal defender Of the anti.
union shop.
Morris Hilquit, attorney for the
unionists, says:
"The complaint appears to dis
regard entirely the methods of pro-
duction in the cloak industry anC
would have US forget that the job.
Der plays a very important role ir
the industry, and just as it is i'm.
portant for the workers that the
garments made by manufacturers,
ub-manufacturers or contractors be
union-made, so is it important to
all workers that the garments or"
dered by a iobber be union gar
ments."

Names Are Nothing

Manchester, England, May 28.-
The Manchester Guardian, one of
Great Britain's sanest newspapers,
makes this editorial comment on the
supposed death of the triple ALI
ance.
"The refusal of the railway men
and transport workers to come out
with the miners, as they had prom
Used, was naturally supposed to have
killed the triple alliance. Perhaps
it has, in name at all events. But
the name matters little. What mat
ters is that if any one of these
three groups is on strike the other
two are almost automatically af
fected. That is why, in spite Of
their socalled desertion, the railway
men found that they could not, in
fact, preserve neutrality-as trade
unionism defines neutrality in in
dustrial disputes.
Rather than be accused of scab-
bing," the railway men decided not
to handle industrial coal. The trans
port workers have now decided to
adopt a similar policy and to refuse
to load or unload ships bunkered
with foreign coal.
at is, therefore, by no means cer-
tain, even yet. that the dispute may
not be extended to the railway men
and transport workers"
