 Charges More Specific.

Charleston, w. Va, April 28.-Trial of the officers and members of the United Mine Workers of America on charges of treason and other offenses alleged to have been committed in the marching and fighting last year was marked this week by the winning by the defense of it's fight in the case of William Blizzard, for amplihcation of the bill of particulars filed by the state.
 The bill filed when court opened, alleged that Blizzard assisted in as sembling the forces which crossed Boone county and battled with state and county forces on the Logan Boone border, that he induced off cials of local unions to provide funds for arming the attacking wade Logan and Mingo counties and that he personally took part in the battle about Blair and furnished ann munition for the fighters.
 On that portion respecting the furnishing of funds, C.

RAIL SHOP MEN
 TAKE STRIKE VOTE
 ON FARMING OUT''
Sentiment Overwhelming for Walk Out to End Unfair Deal
 By Roads.

Two simultaneous strike votes will be taken about the 5oo,ooo mechanical shop craft employees on all railroads in the United States within the next two weeks.
 The first will deal with the farming out Of shops and employees to dummy concerns 10 evade paying the scale ot wages fixed by the Railroad Labo, Board and re-establishment of piece work through coercive measures of the managers.
 The second strike ballot will be on final acceptance or rejection of the boards decision eliminating overtime pay for Sunday and holiday work, a practice hitherto prevailing on some railroad systems for as long as 40 years.
 This action was taken by unani- nous vote of 500 delegates at the sixth biennail convention of the Rail- way Employees Department, Amer ican Federation of Labor, which closed a two weeks session in Chi cago last Saturday afternoon. Inn mediately upon the strike vote being returned to department headquarters in Chicago and canvassed, the strike order is to be issued by the officers and executive council.
 Judging from sentiment of delegates in the convention, the vote to strike will be practically unanimous.
 Plans were made to create proper defense fund and to arrange for com misaries to feed the strikers and their families for as long a period as is necessary to establish satisfactory conditions of employment on all the railroads. No separate agreements are to be made, either as to systems or divisions.
 No action was taken by the conven- tion on Judge Pages decision in the Pennsylvania case, news of this reach ing the convention hall just as the delegates were preparing to adjourn The matter was left in the hands of the officers and executive council for such action as might be deemed necessary.
 By exclamation the convention re- elected Bert M. Jewell, Boilermakers, president; J. F. McGrath, Black smiths, vice-president; and John Scott, Carmen, secretary-treasurer Preceding this election, following a usual custom, A. o. Wharton, Ma father of the department, was elected president by exclamation and then voted an indefinite leave in order that he may continue as a rep resentative of group 2 on the United States Railroad Labor Board. The newly elected officers were installed by President J. A. Franklin, of the International Brotherhood of Boiler makers.

forU. S. /

Philadelphia, Nov. 13.-Poland is
viewing Its approaching republican
ism with q joy and patriotic fervor
much like that which swept over the
American colonies when they set UP
the worlds first representative form
of government. in the opinion of
Francois de st. Phalle. vice president
OF the Baldwin Locomotive works,
who has returned from a locomotive
selling tour of Europe. Being presi-
dent of the American-Polish Chamber
of Commerce. he was especially inter-
ested in the affairs of Poland. &
"The people OF Poland are 'exhila-
rated over their independence and
look forward with much expectancy
to their first election in the next few
weeks" said Mr.. dc ST. Phalle in an
interview. 1T is hard t6adescribe their
feelings. They appear to have the
same patriotic spirit and %joyfulness
over their new found liberty that our
fore-fathers experienced in lI76.'
Mr.. de st. Phalle said Poland,
France, Belgium. Rumania, Czecho-
Slovakia. and J~ugo-Slavia ARE closely
agreed In principle n wish only to
Keep the territory they have and to
maintXin peaceful relations with other
countries. 'They do not want war
he said, and unless, Germany be-
comes ~aSRfeSSlke III an dtteIApt ~ iS-
rain its lost territory do not believe

flict for some years"
POLAND is one of Americas best fu-
ture markets." he said. To-day it is
buying cotton, copper. steel, machin-
cry and locomotives from the United
states. 1t is fast rehabilitating its de-
vastated areas and its railroads OF
some 1000 miles even now are an
industrial factor in Europe"
He said that Poland recently bought
1000 freight cars in this country. and
that his company closed a contract
with that country Tor twenty-five loco
motives and was paid $1,oO0.Oo0 in
cash less than two months after the
order was given.
