PITTSBURGH, May 30.-At nearly
half a dozen special district and

Immediately, the most serious conse-

surely follow.
Many Conferences.

been held in Indiana, in Ohio, in II
linois, in the anthracite within week.
Another is now in session here. At
each of these, mine delegates report
ed of the fearful suffering and need
Of the wives and children of the coal
diggers. Delegates from the nom
union fields of West Virginia report
ed that thousands of miners would
come out on strike if some measure
of relief could be assured them.
Evictions which are continuing in

1t happened in Tacoma, Wash,
where Mack was taken as young
ster by his family, from White
Cloud Kansas.
Mack brought with him some OF
the breezy methods Of the great
Southwest and when lie started to
help out the family treasur chest
by selling newspapers he organized
a newsboy's union, possibly the first
in the country. 1t is the same bust

an amount which would satisfy
many persons per year.
When Mack started as a neWSbOy
the News was selling four papers
to the boys for dime, and would
not take back any unsold copies
He organized all the boys into q
union and they demanded and re-
ceived five papers for a dime, with
the privilege of returning all unsold
copies. So easy was the first de-
mand attained they asked for and
received six papers for 10 cents and
again gained instant victory. But
when they struck the following day
for seven papers for a dime the
newspapers not only refused their
demands, but put men to work SELL
ing the papers to beat the strike.
Mack called council of wa
after several days Of idleness. dur
ing which all the boys had squan-
dered most of their spare pennies.
Charley told them he had d
scheme whereby he knew they
would win the strike, but it required
a capital of one dime Manager
Perkins Of the News was the pos
SCISSOR and Wcarer of the only plug
or silk hat in Tacoma at the time.
The scheme was pictured so wildly
by Mack that the only boy in the
crowd who had a dime donated il
to the cause. With the last money
in the crowd they purchased fresh
custard pie and laid in wait.
1t was accurately timed and took
the shining dicer neatly amidship
as Perkins passed a certain corner.
Either the prospect of further bonn
bardment or a reIenting heart
moved the manager, for the boys
won their demands that same week.
Strangely enough. the hoy who sup
piled the munitions Of war was
Martin Brown, who later also be-
came a member Of the theatrical
profession.
