The Kadoka Press (Newspaper) - June 10, 1910, Kadoka, South DakotaCOIL SUE MS ON, INDIiScTtiSIN PEIIIL Illinois Cattle Begins When Strike Leaders Order Engineers and Pumpmen to Quit. OPERATORS ARE STANDING FIRM Stopping of Pumps and Shutting Ofl of Fresh Air May Damage Many Mines. War which threatens the life of the coal industry in Illinois has been de- clared between the operators and min- ers. Refusing the terms accepted by the miners in other States, leaders of the Illinois strike ordered out engi- neers and pumpmen who had been left to guard against destruction of prop- erty during the suspension. Millions of dollars are involved in the latest strike order, as many of the properties are known as “wet” mines, and the.v will be irretrievably damaged unless the pumps are kept running. The “dry" mines also will be greatly •damaged when the supply of fresh air is shut off by closing down the fans. Tn face of the warlike move of the miners the operators decided to stand firm, and their position was indorsed at a special meeting of the Illinois Manufacturers’ Association, held at the Hotel La Salle in Chicago. Though the suspension is costing the manufac- » turers in Illinois at the rate of $20,- 000,000 a year extra for fuel, they de- cided unanimously to stand by the op- erators to the last ditch in the strug- gle. Resolutions pledging the operators the full support of the Illinois Manu- facturer-;' Association were introduced by Norman W. Fraser, president of the Chicago Portland Cement Com- pany, who said that the suspension had cost his company $13,000 for the month of April and $25,000 for the month of May more for fuel than would have been the case under nor- mal conditions. Federal intervention may be asked by the manufacturers, and it was inti- mated that President Taft may lie urged to do as President Roosevelt did in the anthracite coal strike 1n 1902, when he forced the operators and miners to submit to arbitration. BIG FIRE IN MINNEAPOLIS Implement Warehouses Destroyed as Blaze Rages for Hours. Fire, which started at 1 o'clock on a recent morning and burned fiercely, was not got under control until 3 a. m., after burning down four large Implement warehouses and other pieces of property in Minneapolis, en- tailing a loss of over $75,000, accord- ing to last estimates. But one man, Christ Madison, was burned. His con- dition is serious. The fire started from an unknown cause in the ware- house of the Great Northern Imple- ment Company. The burned district is bounded by Washington avenue and 3d street and 6th and 7th avenues, south. The implement warehouses burned were: The Rock Island, the Great Northern, the Waterbury and the Northwestern. The Sixth Avenue Ho- tel was practically destroyed.

Among the chief points urged were alleged lack of jurisdiction and loss of right by lapse Of tkne. The relief prayed for is the return to the public domain of about 3,000,000 acres of land still held by the company. Those lands are esti- mated to o worth between $15,000,000 and $50.000.iT00.

One thousand and two Jewish fami- nes have now received official notifi- ation that they must leave Kiev, Rus- sia, in accordance with the determi- nation of the Russian government to drive back into the pale all Jews who are unable to establish their legal right to remain outside Its confines. An additional 193 families living in the suburbs outside the city proper ire subject to deportation before June 14 unless in the meantime they pro- duce proofs of their right of residence In their present homes. It is quite impossible to secure sta- tistics showing the number of those already expelled. Even the Jewish re- lief committee is unable t« state the sxact figure, but the committee esti mates that between 200 and 300 Jew Ish families have quitted the city. in addition to the deportation order- ed, the Jews of Kiev have been sub- jected to minor annoyances, such as the refusal of passports, good over the year, and interference with their residence at the summer resorts out- side of Kiev, where all those who are prosperous enough go during the heat- ed term, the law forbidding Jews to settle in the villages or on farms, "in order to prevent the exploiting of simple peasantry." The real hardships for the Jews are expected to come on June 14, when the time limit for their departure ex- pires. All who still remain in Kiev on various pretexts will be expelled on that date. Although th,' Jewish relief committee is collecting funds for this contingency, it is feared that many will face deportation by force rather than leave the city voluntarily. The committee has collected several thou- sand dollars, and hopes are entertain- ed that adequate funds may be secured from the considerable colony of Jew- ish millionaires in Kiev. KELLNER GIRLS BODY FOUND Prisoner’s Husband Is Missing Jani- tor of Church—Grave in Cellar. The body of Alma Kellner, who dis- apepared Dec. 8, was found the other day in the cellar of St. John's Paro- chial School, five blocks from the home of her parents. Mr. and Mrs. Fred F.

COURT STOPS RAISE IN FREIGHT RATES Twenty-five Western Roads Are Re- strained from Enforcing the New Tariff. PLEA CITES UNLAWFUL COMBINE Action Is Begun by Attorney Gen- eral Wickersham on Behalf of Federal Government. Twenty-five Western railroads were temporarily restrained by United States District Judge David P. Dyer in Hannibal, Mo., from enforcing or making a general advance in inter- state freight rates. The injunction was granted on a petition filed by the United States government on the alle- gations that the advance in rates were fixed by the defendants by agreement, without competition and in violation of the Sherman anti-trust act. The petition was filed in the United States Circuit Court at St. Louis and was brought to Hannibal to present to Judge Dyer. It states that unless such a restraining order be issued the ad- vances will become effective at once, to the grave harm and injury of the people of the United States. The petition was presented by Ed- win P. Grosvenor of Washington, spe- cial assistant to the Attorney General, and Frederick N. Judson of St. Louis, acting as special counsel. It was sign- ed by George W. Wlckersbam, Attor- ney General; William S. Kenyon, As- sistant Attorney General, and Charles A. Houts. United States District At- torney. The roads restrained from increas- ing their freight rates a Missouri Pacific Railway. Chicago and Northwestern Railway. Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Rail- road.

Brought to a sudden climax in the West by the successful invocation of the Sherman anti-trust law to enjoin the lines west of Chicago from putting their proposed rate increases in effect, the freight rate controversy was given an unexpected turn later. While the Western roads, thrown into consterna- tion by the application of a law from which they had considered themselves Immune, were preparing to restore their old rates and to defend them- selves against charges of illegal com- bination. the Eastern roads were filing tariffs at Washington with the Inter- state Commerce Commission. These tariffs advanced commodity rates throughout the territory north of the Ohio River and east of the Mississippi. This move will actively extend the fight at once to every section between the Missouri River and the Atlantic seaboard and is expected to make the Eastern trunk lines defendants in a similar proceeding.

Administration's Measure Is Carried, 50 to 12, at Night Session. The administration's railroad bill was passed by the Senate of the Uni- ted States the other night at 10 o'clock by a vote of 50 to 12. The negative votes were cast by Democrats as fol- lows: Bacon, Fletcher, Frazier, Hughes, Money, Newlands, Percy, Pur- cell. Rayner, Shively, Smith of Mary- land and Smith of South Carolina. After the vote was announced Mr. Beveridge moved the statehood bill be made the unfinished business. Mr. Nelson, chairman of the Public Lands Committee, contended the public land withdrawal bill, an administration conservation measure, should have precedence. This precipitated a con- flict, the Democrats lining up with Mr. Beveridge. Finally, with the Bev- eridge motion pending, the Senate adjourned. The railroad bill, that now goes to conference, was reported to the Senate Feb. 25. The debate began March 15. when Mr. Cummins commenced his four days' si>eech against the measure as it then stood. Since then it has been continuously before the Senate for twelve weeks. The original Hep- burn law, of which this is amenda- tory. was passed in the Senate May 18. 1906. Many speeches were delivered, in the main brief and explanatory of the position taken by Senators. When it became apparent that the final vote would be reached, several Senators who have fought vigorously for amend- ments asserted that, while the bill was not all they desired, it was a step in the right direction and would re- ceive their support. Such statements were made by insurgent Republicans and Democrats. These speakers were I>a Follette, Dolliver, Clay, Paynter, Simmons and Gore. Newlands and Bacon «poke at length In opposition. W. F. Schilling, editor of the Minne- sota Dairyman, has tiled for the Senate from his district on the Republican ticket. In the recent Ohio Republican pri- maries el< ven of the twenty-one suc- cessful nominees for Congress had de- clared themselves against the re-elec- tion of Speaker Cannon, while nine re- mained noncommittal, and one, Keifer, is openly for Cannon. "Elder” William J. Bryan, who sailed from New York as a delegate at large to the Presbyterian Ecumenical Coun- cil at Edinburgh, said to the reporters who came to see him off that he was convinced that the country would choose a Democratic Congress this year, and that if that Congress m ide a g' >d record the next President would be a Democrat. He spoke of Folk and Gaynor as possible candidates, but said there were plenty of good men; On the same boat sailed Senator Root, who goes to take part In the Newfoundland fisheries arbitration, beginning June 1, In England. The National Congress of the Social- ist party which met in Chicago to re- vise the platform and program, voted after a long discussion that the party Is opposed to the exclusion of any Im- migrants on account of race or na- tionality, and demands that this coun- try be kept as a free asylum for per- sons persecuted in other lands; but that It favors all measures tending to prevent the immigration of contract laborers or strike-breakers. This was the compromise resolution offered by- Delegate Hilqult of New York The policy of the party as to the farmer class was left open, and an enlarged committee was appointed to study the question and report at the national convention two years hence. The con- vention took a positive position against the commission form of city govern meat LONG LIVE THE KING. C. H. TREAT FALLS DEAD. STANDING OF THE CLUBS. NATIONAL LEAGUE.

Nebraska Teacher Pays Fine for Balking Census-Taker. Disclaiming any desire of placing herself in contempt of the census de- partment of the United States or of ap- pearing impertinent to an enumera- tor, Miss Sarah E. Peck, member of the normal faculty of Union College in Lincoln, Neb., paid a fine of $lO *n the federal district court and thereby purged herself of an indictment brought, against her. At the same time Miss Peck relieved herself of the ne- cessity of revealing her age. I>»wls Terry, the enumerator who complain- ed against Miss Peck, charged that sho refused him Information on three oc- casions and that when he warned her that she was liable to a fine replied that she had the money to pay it. A boy baby, hardly 4 hours old, was found alongside of the Big Four Rail- road tracks in Cincinnati, within a foot 'of where the trains pass every few minutes. It had evidently been thrown from a train that was in-bound from Cleveland. It was rushed to the city hospital and the physicians there hold out every hope for its ultimate recovery.
