PITTSBURGH, Pa, Feb. IT.
Driven by growing storm of popular
workingclass anger against the dep
relations of the yellow dogs"-the
coal and iron police in the service of
the scabby coal operators-the state
government ordered an investigation
IF the charges made against those
private gunner clothed with police
powers by coal and steel legisla-
ture.
The investigation was conducted
under the direction of Captain j. c.
Mauk, of the state constabulary,
blood brothers to the "yellow dogs"
Acquit Police.
The result of the quiz was fore
gone conclusion. The coal and iron
police were acquitted of all charges
Of violence, and the blame for the
outrages recently committed by the
yellow dogs" and the scabs were
placed on the union miners.
Captain Maul dealt specifically
with the shooting up of the mining
towns of Bruceton and Broughton on
February 2, when a band Of armed
strikebreakers poured several volleys
into a schoolhouse where $50 children
lay huddled on the floor while the
scabs were shooting into the build
ing.
Stores in Bruceton, owned by strike
sympathizers, were found riddled with
bullets and deserted the day after
the fusillade.
T. IS not denied by residents that
they replied to the fire of the strike
breakers when their lives were in
jeopardy. But for this defensive ac-
ton it was stated several lives would
have been lost on the strikers side
Admit They Were Paid.
The two strikebreakers confessed
that they were paid S25 each to open
fire on the miners barracks in order
to intimidate the strikers, and tho
those two were placed under heavy
bail by Justice of the Peace O'Rourke
and large quantities of arms and am
munition were found in the scab bar
racks Captain Mauk brought in a
report regarding the disturbance at
Broughton, on F"'-l1iary 2, which
reads in part as follows:
"About $40 p. M, about six color
ed employees of the Pittsburgh Ter
minal Coal Company were walking
over the Pittsburgh and West Vir-
gnia Railroad tracks, from the Hor-
ming Mine No 6, where their homes
are. When they arrived at the point

MARYE and 'MOM'
THEIR LETTERS
BY RUTH DEWEY GROVES

Nom, dearest:
Imagine people talking about any
thing so trivial as my seeing Nor
man when he was here! And they
might remember that he was known
to take drink long before I mar
ried Alan-and I don't mean water.
It's funny how the world always
wants to blame some woman for a
mans skidding and make her pay if
they can. But when it's vice versa
you don't Sc any mad rush to pun
iSh the man.
Well, that's an injustice that
women will correct when they get
the reins in their own hands. 1t
was a pretty easy trick the men took
when they put across the single
standard idea. 1t left them free to
philander without obligation to pay
the piper, but the piper has always
been a Shylock I understand and so
the woman had to pay.
It's a lot of applesauce about
women being the custodians of
morals. That was just subtle mas
culine touch to make us like mans
one-sided rule of conduct. What he
has failed to foresee, though, is that
woman is going to demand that he
measure up to the standard he has
set for her.
When the time comes that an i'm
moral man is as horribly disgraced
as an immoral woman, man may
wish he hadn't built the fence quite
so high. Once on our side, pre-
we are all as good as menve
said we must be, they'll get just as
full Of splinters as any of us il they
try to climb out.
BY splinterS I mean the nasty
pricks of gossip. Not that one has
to be immoral to get talked about,
but l do think it was mans putting
us up on a pedestal to keep the
world safe for the tired philanderer
that started gossip in the first place.
II there was anything wrong in
my seeing Norman he is just as
guilty as I am. And it was partly
because I was afraid he would take
up drinking as a vocation that 1
didn't marry him soon after we were
engaged. But suppose every one
is feeling sorry for him.
Women may be the biggest scam
dial mongers, but it was mans con-
ventions that made us the targets
for each others barbed tongues.
I'm praying for the day when wom-
en- will all realize this and stick to-
gether to shake off the .shackles
they put on us. In the meantime
I'm the goat at home, it appears.
Happily it worries me not, except
for you, Nom dear.
Darling love,
MARYE.

Opposition to any extension of

eight-hour days for women, was re-
affirmed by the Indianapolis Bust

In any establishment where men work
longer hours than women, whether it be
in a bank. a factory or office. womens
wages would not only be curtaied. but
there would be tendency to discriminate
against their actual employment and to
interfere with the scientific reorganization
Of business. which has resulted in the ex-
tension OF greater purchasing power and
wider use OF conveniences and COM
niodisies by higher paid wage ed ners,
bulwarked by our national production.
We cannot say whether public opinion
will eventually resolve Itself into a general
demand for five days 8S constituting the

almost automatic that great smen
naturally had great wives because
they would not have married them
if they were not of corresponding
quality, and that great women al
ways have great husbands. But it
doesn't work out that way. In fact,
cynicS sometimes opine that the
bigger a man the smaller the wife,
and that the greater the woman the
more nincompoopish the husband.
Fortunately, in many marriages wa
ter seems to seek its own level. Or
is it fortunate? Even If the cynics
are right, isn't contrast possibly a
good thing?
