Attorney fr Plaintiff, r A PLEA I-OR MINERS LABOR FEDERATION APPEAL. ISSUES -AN Public Funds . Solicited Wage Earners Asked to Contribute . Their Wages for One Hour Each Monday Issues Clearly Set Forth. Washington, Oct. 11. The Atiier can Federation of , Labor, through its executive council, today issued an address to the public, appealing for financial and moral aid for the striking anthracite miners, and de nounsing the attitude of tbe mine owners, on whom, the appeal says, must rest the responsibility for the hardship resulting from the coal famine. The address has been un der discussion in secret sessions of the council for several days, and is af follows: "To the public and organized la bor: The strike of the miners is now in its 23d week.- That' the etrike occurred was entirely the fault of the presidents cf the coal companies. That the strike has con tinued to this day is entirely due to the contempt which the Dresident3 of the coal com panics have for the people of our country, and the un told sufferings which may endure. No offer to settle the strike could be fairer than that of the miners' rep resentatives at the conference with President Roosevelt. The opera tors haughty arrogance, brutal, dominating spirit and blasphemous assumption of divine wealth, pro prietorship, shook the universe, and aroused the indignation of all .lov ers of justice and fair dealing.- "V7at more could the miners do and maintain their self-respect and not forget the re3pect of theiriellow men, then their willingness to sub mit all matters in dispute to a com mission appointed by President Roosevelt, and when that was re fused, to leave the entire controver sy to J. P. Morgan, one of the men largely interested with the opera tors?' There never has been a time, either before the strike or since its inauguration, tnat the miners have not been e-ntirely willing to have the questions involved in the min ers claims investigated and adjust ed, by any disinterested person. "These circumstances in connec tion with the strike afe ' iecounted so that tbe people of - our country may place, where it properly be longs, the responsibilitv for all the suffering which the people may hare to bear by reason of the im pending coal famine. The cold blasts of winter confront us, as do the chattering teeth of young and innocent children ', the shivering of the weak, poorly clad, underfed men and women; the stoppage of the wheels of industry and com merce, the undermining of the gen eral health and ..thousands driven to untimely graves. : The calamity threatening our entire social life tranquility, with all the direct con sequences which may follow, are all upon the heads of the mine op erators. ; . - . "The principles, the cause for which the miners are bearing the greatest sacrifices and burdens are as dear to the hearts of all as to the miners. ; The miners must be sus tained in-their righteous and holy struggle. The miners must at least have bread for themselves, their wives and their little ones. "In behalf of the miners, in be half of the cause of freedom, for jus tice and right, the undersigned, rep resenting the organized wage earn ers of America, appeal to all people to contribute generouslv, promptly and' to continue the same until' the termination of this contest. , And to that end, the following sugges tions are made: . " . "First That in each cjty ,ahd town : business, professional and public men form -relief committees to solicit financial and other con tributions. - " .' "Second That the hours between 10 and 11 o'clock of each Monday morning during the continuance of the etrike, is designated as 'Miners hour,' and the wages earned during tnat nour bv tne working people of our country be appropriated to the miners. '. ," ' - ' : v :- "... "That the ministers of the gospel of all denominations make a special plea to tneir respective congrega tions each Sabbath morning in be half of the miners, their wives and children, and that thev constitute themselves into relief committees among their respective parishoners. "Fourth That the daily, weekly and labor press solicit contributions from their readers; entertainments be arranged and contributions from unions and other organized bodies solicited. - ' , "Fellow citizens, fellow wage earn ers: Come to the aid of the miners in. their heroic contest, and admin ister a well-merited rebuke for the arrogant, oppressive and unjustifia ble attitude toward the miners of the operators, who would trample under foot and crush the hearts and spirits of the men whom they em ploy with equally callous indiffer ence as they outrage dignity, the .manhood and the interests of every 'man, woman and child in our land.

' ' ' Baltimore Sun: The altitude of the coal trust before the people is incomprehensible. Tbeir response to the president's efforts to settle the strike and avert wliat may be an unlawful calamity will excite general indignation and divest the coal corporations of all sympathy from any reasonable man. The president put the case of these men, the representatives of the mine own ers and the representatives of the mineworkerp, in plain and forcible language. Bat his strong appeal feH upon deaf ears. It aroused no sympathy for the euffering millions when the winter comes. The pos sibilities of rioting, bloodshed, suf fering, sickness and mortality did not move them. Each one with hisxellar full of coal and with mag nificent bank accounts was unmov ed by the picture which the presi dent presented to his view. These men have in their grasp the fuel supply of millions.' They have in their control the roads to bring the fuel to market. They show them selves indifferent to the sufferings and the necessities of the people. It now remains to be seen what can be done. Is the government power less, is its arm paralyzed, that it cannot protect the ' people in this time of dangerand urgent need? That is the question. ' Buffalo Courier: ; The president's attempt to obtain relief for the suf fering public failed, but it had the effect of sharply . defining the case for the people's ' understanding. They can see who are the real a archists in this country. A eimplejword of refusal would have been wiser than the lecture (of Mr. Bier) to the president, and the gratuitous insult to the intelli gence and ' heart of tbe American population. "' Stricken With Paralysis. Henderson Grimett, of this place, was stricken with partial paralysis and completely lost the use, of one arm and side. After being treatsd by an eminent physician for quito a while without relief, -my wife re commended " Chamberlain's" Pain Balm, and after using two bottles of it he is almost entirely cured. Geo. R.

A TRAIN HOLD-UP BOARDED PORTLAND-BOUND EX PRESS AND SECURED $50,000. Blew Up the Express Car and Safe After Scaring Messenger Into Opening the Door A Strike - : Ended in Less Than ' ' ' an Hour. Lincoln, Neb., Oat. ii. Three masked men held up the Burlington train No. 41, the Pacific Coast Express, four miles out of Lincoln, shortly before 2 o'clock this morning. - They used explosives on the express car, shattering it badly, and alter wrecking the safe, rifled it of its contents, securing an amount thought to be $1500. The loss in the train robbery is given out by officials of the Burlington at 50, OOOT' They have offered a . reward of i,000 for the capture of the gang. The Booty of the robbers consisted yrinc ipal ly of gold coin. This made the burden of the robbers exceedingly heavy, and ac counts for the broad trail discovered by Chief Hoagland. The robbery was orig inally planned to take place at St. Jos eph, and the railroad men were on the lookout. One of the criminals "tipped" the deal off to the company, and this probably accounts for the shifting of the crime to Lincoln, - ,'' Lincoln, Oct. n. Train No. 4i reach es Lincoln at 12:55 A. M. and leaves for the Northwest i0 minutes later. It was a few minutes late this morning, and was in charge of Conductor Lyman and En gineer Clayburg. On the crest of a hill midway between the city - and the town of Woodland, the engineer saw a red light waved across the track, and brought the train to a standstill. Two men sprang quickly into the cab and covered Clay- buig and his fireman with revolvers. They lost no time in giving their orders and were just as promptly obeyed. The express car was cut from the remainder of the train and run ahead a short dist ance. They found the door locked, and after commanding Messenger . Willitm Lupton to open it and getting no response fired two or three shots into the car. The door was then opened. A heavy charge of dynamite on the safe literally tore it to pieces. Fourteen packages said to contain $i00 each were taken - together with other valuables. The two men who were in the car politely bade tbe train men good morning, jumped from the car and disappeared in the darkness. The passengers were not molested, nor were the trainmen asked for their belongings. While the robbery in the express car was going on, a third roDDer waiKea a- long side the track by the passenger coaches, firing his revolver occasionally to keep the passengers quiet. Brakemau Moor, who alighted from the rear coach to go ahead," found a revolver pushed in to his face, with a warning to ' , J Jl k where he belonged. ' , He ran four miles to the Lincoln yards and was the first to give the alarm. The robbers were cool, talkative and apperently experts. ' The whole job occupied scarcely an hour. The train wasrun back to Lincoln, the wreck ed express car taken out, and at 4 o'clock it resumed its journey, the original crew going out with it. Following it was an engine carrying Chief of Police Hoglan, Detective Malone and two bloodhounds and three police officers. At the scene of the hold-up the hounds took the scent, and the pursuit of the robbers was act ively begun. Every town and village ;. marshal and every county sheriff iD Southeastern Ne braska has been notifi ed of the robbery and told to be on the watch.- The Ad ams Express Company officials sny its loss is not large. - ' - . . s. ". " Fresno, Cal,, Oct. 11. One hundred and fifty men, dissatisfied with " the rate of wages they were receiving, have walk ed our of the Pacific Coast Seeding Rais in Company's plant, No. 5. ; At Marka rian's packing-house about 4o men went out, but in less than an hour the increase Of wages-demanded was granted and they returned to work. At Guggenheim's house, the raise asked for was granted within ten minutes after the men struck. The 400 employes ot raisin packing hous es in this city have taken steps to form a union, with the object of securing higher wages. .' " Cincinnati, O., Oct. n. A Post corres pondent who is investigating the condi tion of the miners and their families . in the anthracite coal region telegraphs" the following from Wilkesbarre: "Poverty and desolation stalk in the First anthra cite district. . The most cruel feature of the battle now being waged between the strikers and the operators is tbe hard ships forced on the women and children, who are but thinly clad. , The women, many of them belog in no condition, to work, are struggling bravely at the hard est sort of labor with chapped hands and bleeding feet. Woinen and children' some only two years old, dig in. the culm banks for bits of coal which had been ov erlooked by the miners. . Their principaL food consists of bread made from unbolt ed wheat, and spread with layers of nau seous and unealted lard. Wilkesbarre, Pa., Oct. 1 1. The Dela ware and Hudson Company today served notice to the miners to move out of tha houses owned by that company within three months. - A Typical S Dnth African Store. O. R; Larson, of Bay Villa, Sundays Riverr, Cape Colony, conducts a store typical of South Africa, at which can be purchased anything from the proverbial "needle to an anchor." Th'13 store is situated in a valley nine miles from the near est railway station and about twenty-five miles from the nearest town. Mr. Larson says: "I am favored with the custom of farmers within a radius of thirty miles, to many of whom I have supplied Chamber lain's remedies. All testify to their value in a household where a doc tor's advice ia almost out of tha question. -Within one mile of my store the population is perhaps six ty. Of these", within the past : i2 months, no less than fourteen have been absolutely cured by Chamber lain's Cough Remedy. This must surely be a record."

Charles Moyer, Presidenfof the Western Federa tion of Miners, sent a dispatch last night to President Mitchell at Wilkesbarre, Pa , in which he offer ed the co-operation of the Miners' Federation in an effort to close ev ery coal mine in the United States and Canada pending a settlement of the anthracite strike. Following, is the text of the message: Dedyer, Col., Oct. 8th. John Mitchell, Wilkesbarre, Pa.r Exigencies demand that no coal of any kind be mined in the United States and Canada until the an thracite strike is won. The West eun Federation of miners will co operate to this end. , (Signed) CHAS. MOY, Pres. To this message President Moyer received the following reply: Wilkesbarre, Pa., Oct., 8. Charles Moyer, President West ern Federation Miners, Denver Col.: Telegram received. Shall give careful consideration to your suggestion. . Many thanks for the proffer of co-operation and assist ance. (Signed) JOHN MITCHELL. "The significance of this corres pondence," said President Moyer today, "is far reaching. It means that if President John Mitchell will call out all his. men in every soft and hard coal mine in this country and Canada the Western Federa tion of Miners will immediately co operate with them and withdraw every man we have in the coal fields of the West, Northwest and Cana da. And this will mean that the stubborn trifne operators in Penn- svlvania will have to bring this long strike to an end or the people throughout the countiy will know the reason why. " "This is the only way to end the trouble. There is no uie in tempor izing any longer with the mine op erators of the East with - their no tions of Divine rights and other rel ics of monarchy. : What is needed is decisive action. This will tpea their eyes to the power and strength of labor. It will do more, as it will awaken -the people throughout the country and Canada to the true condition of things." ; Ilia Life iu Peril. "I j ust seeniad to have gone all to pieces," writes Alfred Bee, of Welfare, Tex., "biliousness and a lanie back had made life a burden.
