GUILTY A3 CHARGED
Court's Decision in the
"Mother" Jones .Cases.
RIGHT TO ISSU1 INJUNCTIONS
Laborers Should Not Compel Em
ployes "Who Arc Xot Dissatisfied
With Their TVork to
Quit.
PARKERSBURG, TV. Va., July 24.
Judge Jackson, rendering hts decision in
the "Mother" Jones contempt cases to
day, held that all the defendants had vio
lated the injunction and were guilty of
contempt of court. The opinion support
ed the right of the courts to IssueMnjunc
tions and the right of laborers to work
when they wish to do so. without Inter
ference from organized labor or any other
source. Judge Jackson, in his decision,
said:
"What Is an injunction? Is It the ex
ercise of an arbitrary power by the courts
of the country, or is it a power that is
recognized from a very early date as
one of the branches of administrative
Justice? I answer this question by affirm
ing that the ordinary use of the writ of
Injunction Is to prevent wrongs and in
juries to persons, to their property, or to
reinstate the rights of persons to their
property when they have been deprived
of it. It is the most efficient, if not the
only remedy to stay irreparable injury
and to punish those who disobey the or
der of a court granting the writ.
"I do not question the right of employes
of this company to quit work at any time
they desire to do so, unless there is a
contract relation between them and the
employer which should control their right
to quit. At the same time, I do not rec
ognize the right of an employer to coerce
the employes to continue their work when
they desire to quit.
"While I recognize the right of all la
borers to combine for the purpose of pro
tecting all their lawful rights, I do not
recognize the right of laborers to con
spire together to compel employes who
are not dissatisfied with their work in
the mins to lay down their picks and
to quit their work without a Just or
proper reason therefor, merely to gratify
a professional set of 'agitators, organiz
ers and walking delegates,' who roam all
over the country as agents for some com
bination, who are vampires that live and
fatten on the honest labor of the coal
mlners of the country and who are busy
bodies, creating dissatisfaction among a
class of people who are quiet, well-disposed
and who do not want to be dis
turbed by the unceasing agitation of this
class of people.
"The strong arm of the court of equity
Is Invoked In this case, not to suppress
the right of free speech but to restrain
and inhibit these defendants, whose only
purpose is to bring about strikes, by try
ing to coerce people who are not dissatis
fied with the terms ,of their employment,
which result In inflicting Injury and dam
age to their employers, as well as to the
employes."
The court then referred to "Mother"
Jones' speech near the Klnnlklnnlck
mines, saying her utterances were the
outgrowth of the sentiments of those who
believe in communism and anarchy. The
court, after reciting other acts in viola
tion of the injunction, concluded with:
"I reach the conclusion that the de
fendants in this case who were served
fcjrtth notice of this injunction have vio
lated it and have treated with contempt
the order of this court."
Judge Jackson suspended Judgment In
the case of "Mother" Jones for contempt.
He said that she had been found guilty
of contempt, "but as she was posing as
a martyr, he would not send her to Jail
or allow her to force her way Into jail."
He sId he would hold conviction over
her and if she again violated the Injunc
tion he would sentence her heavily.
Thomas Haggerty got 90 days and five
others got 60 days each in the Parkers
burg Jail. The Hungarians declared they
had not understood the injunction and
were released upon the promise not to
riolate it again. The Austro-Hungarlan
Consul at New York was here to repre
sent them. Including some arrested later,
there were 24 Hungarians released in the
same manner.
There was Intense Interest shown by
every one as Judge Jackson earnestly
read his decision. "Mother" Jones was
surrounded by the other defendants, and
Vice-President Lewis, of the United
Mlneworkers, was present with them. The
defendants were surprised with both the
decision and the sentences, and expressed
themselves bitterly. Counsel for the im
prisoned miners are preparing for pro
ceedings in the United States Circuit
Court of Appeals at Richmond, Va., al
leging that Judge Jackson had no juris
diction in the cases of "Mother" Jones
and her associates. John J. Conlff, of
Wheeling, one of the counsel for the
miners, will leave at once for Richmond
to present habeas corpus proceedings. He
says the proceedings here were brought
not by the Clarksburg Fuel Company, but
by a bondholder, and for that reason an
ouster will be asked.
While the sentences given today are
considered severe, it is anticipated that
Judge Jackson will deal firmly with W.
B. Wilson, secretary of the United Mine
workers, who has also been held in con
tempt, but who is at his headquarters in
Indianapolis. District-Attorney Blizzard
filed an affidavit today that Secretary W.
B. Wilson violated the restraining order
of June 19 by making an inflammatory
speech at Clarksburg, July 7, and another
at Fort Monroe, July 8. and asked the
court for his arrest Judge Jackson made
. the order that Wilson be arrested and
brought within the jurisdiction of his
court. .
Thomas Haggerty, who was given 90
days, was a prominent organizer. He
lives at Reynoldsville. Pa. Rice and Mor
gan are also organizers and members of
the board of United Mlneworkers. JRlce
lives In Dubois. Pa., and Morgan ,In Mas
sllon, O. These organizers and others
were working with the miners of West
Virginia when Judge Jackson issued his
order. The prisoners have been dis
tributed among the jails of a half-dozen
or more counties.
The hearing of John Gehr. of Colorado,
who is charged with violating the Injunc
tion of Judge Jackson, wa continued until
tomorrow. This case attracts more atten
tion than all others, as the affidavits and
wltnees all allege that Gehr. at various
meetings, spoke of Judge Jackson as the
"o'.d yaller dog." Gehr Is an attorney, and
has announced his intention of appearing
for himself.
Will Appeal to Supreme Court.
CHICAGO. July 24. John Mitchell
President of the United Mlneworkers of
America, said today that Judge Jackson's
decision would be laid before President
Roosevelt at once with protests, and that
the President would be asked to intercede
in the name of American citizenship. The
case will be carried to tne United States
Supreme Court President Mitchell said:
"The decision Imperils the rights of all
Americans in the courts."

anthracite strike in less than one week

sessment of the men. The first week's

ters that every mall brings in contribu

Coal Shortage at Xeir York.
NEW YORK, July 24. With shipments
of anthracite coal from the mining re
gions showing a shortage of 11,129,269 tons
in three months, as compared with last
year, and no sign of a sattlement of the
strike in sight, the local market is be
ginning to take on the aspect of a cor
nered grain market Dealers are no longer
able to supply the .immediate needs of
customers, and as for New York's Winter
supply, they say that the resumption of
work at the mines tomorrow would not
enable the operators to meet the demand.
There was an advance in the retail price
of anthracite coal today to $S a ton Yor all
slzea This is an Increase of 50 cents a
ton to the users of domestic sizes and 75
cents a ton to the users of steam sizes.
Ignored Mitchell's Recommendation.
SAGINAW, Mich., July 24. The Sag
inaw district of the United Mlneworkers
of America today In conference tabulated
the vote of the various locals on the mat
ter of accepting the scale offered by the
recent conference of operators and miners
at which President John Mitchell was
present and which he advised they accept.
The vote stood 406 to accept and C03 to re
ject and keep on strike. This action will
be a sore disappointment to President
Mitchell, who strongly urged the men to
go to work, as the scale provided for no
reduction in wages from last year.
Mitchell Returns to Wilkesbarre.
CHICAGO, July 24. President Mitchell,
of the United Mlneworkers, left for
Wilkesbarre tonight, where he will take
charge of the anthracite miners' strike.
He says he Is confidence of success in
winning the strike because the men were
standing solidly for their demands, and
not one had deserted the union, so far as
he was able to learn. He said the miners
were ready and willing to submit their
side of the contention to any board of
arbitration in the country, and were not
at all fearful of the outcome.
Difir Colliery Resumes.
TAMAQUA, Pa., July 24 Th Lehigh
Coal & Navigation Company today re
sumed operations at its No. 2 mine, one
of the largest in the region. The move
was unexpected. This is the first large
colliery to resume. So far the striking
men have made no effort to close down
the place. It is believed other companies
will now make an effort to mine coal.
TALKS TO NEWSBOYS;
Bryan's Speech at Tremont Temple,
Boston.
BOSTON, July 24. Before leaving Bos
ton for the Democratic League dinner at
Nantasket today, William J. Bryan ad
dcessed the newsboys of Boston at Tre
mont Temple. He said lnart:
"I go on the theory that the happiness
we get in life we get out of what we do
for others, and not out of what is done
for us. I do not like to talk to people.
whether they be men or boys, without
leaving some idea. I have known an idea
to revolutionize a man's whole being, and
not only that but a whole community, a
state, a nation or the world. You boys,
all of you, are passing through that period
of life which oucbt to be the period of
schools. The first thought I have to sug
gest to you is that you cannot get too
much of an education. I know that It is
necessary for you to work in order to
support father, mother or sister or brother.
And one of my condemnations against
the present Industrial system is for this
reason: That when they tell you we are
prosperous, I tell them that this country
will never be prosperous until the father
ran earn enough to send his children to
school, Instead of sending them, to work.
"My second thought is that I want you
to accustom yourselves to save. The boy
who saves his money is enabling himself
to become his own master. I object to the
trusts because they destroy individual en
terprise." '

"SOCIALLY UNDESIRABLE"
BRITISH SXOBS OUTRAGEOUSLY
TREAT A FELLOW-OFFICER.
Kins: Edward Will Order a Strict
Investigation Into the Affair
Other Forelam Xevrs.
LONDON, July 21. Details of a remark
able cose of persecution by brother offi
cers of a young Lieutenant of the Sec
ond Life Guards at Windsor, a regiment
of which KIpg Edward is Colonel-in-Chief,
show that In this crack cavalry
organization, like many others, the offi
cers are intolerant of tho presence of any
one who takes his profession seriously.
Second Lieutenant C. D. Gregson, who
secured a commission February 15, 1902,
was known to be a hard worker, efficient
and popular with his men. Monday night
a number of officers of the regiment
chased Lieutenant Gregson out of his
quarters, hunted him through the bar
racks with whips, at the same time using
foul language, ducked him In a horse
trough until he was half dead, and subse
quently wrecked his quarters and de
stroyed his entire kit The victim was
forced to spend the remainder of the
night on the bare floor of his room,
wrapped In an overcoat. The only ex
planation of this treatment is that Lieu
tenant Gregson was socially undesirable.
There Is no doubt that in view of the
Lieutenant's record and the Kings con
nection with the regiment. His Majesty
will order a ,trlct Investigation Into the
occurrence.

Scenes of Violence Expected In Paris
Today.
PARIS, July 24. Penalties varying from
the payment of a fine of 5 francs to im
prisonment for three months have been
imposed upon seven of the persons ar
rested for having taken part in the dem
onstrations in connection with the" relig
ious riots. It is asserted that Abbe Bar
dlnal, the cure at Levallols, a suburb of
Paris, who was prominent In yesterday's
disturbances, will be disciplined.
M. Combes, the Premier, continues to
receive addresses from public bodies con
gratulating the government on the energy
with which it is dealing with the schools.
Several newspapers have declared that
the pope Intended to make the recent ac
tion of the French Government the sub
ject of a protest but It is not likely, as
the Cabinet has already Intimated to the
holy see that no discussion regarding
the congregational schools could be en
tertained. Only four unauthorized congregational
schools now remain in Paris. The Slstes
in charge of these have encouraged dem
onstrations In their favor, and are deter
mined to remain until they are forcibly
expelled. As the limit of delay, accorded
by Premier Combes, expired at noon to
day, it is likely that decrees ordering the
expulsion of the .Sisters will be placed in
the hands of the police tomorrow, and
the execution of these decrees will bo ac
companied by scenes of violence.
The clericals are busy throughout Paris
trying to arouse their supporters and in
duce them to take part In a popular
movement in favor of the congregations.
Meetings have been held in many dis
tricts, and a monster assemblage Is an
nounced for Sunday, to be held in the
Place de la Concorde, with a view to pre
senting a signed protest to Premier
Combes. The government is prepared for
any serious disturbance of public order.
Telegrams from the provinces report
that the schools in Montpelier have been
closed, and that the Sisters have depart
ed. In some instances crowds, composed
largely of pupils and their parents, ac
companied the Sisters to the railway sta
tions, making demonstrations In their fa
vor and hooting the police. At La Force,
Department of Dordogne. 500 persons,
headed by two flags and shouting "Long
live tho Sisters" and "Hurrah for liber
ty," conducted the Sisters to the train.
Similar demonstrations were made at
Toulouse, Department of Haute-Garonne,
where 20 of the manlfestants were arrest
ed; at Lille and Dunkirk, Department of
the North, and at.Grasse, Department of
Alpes-Maritimes. In a number of vil
lages in Brittany the Sisters have shut
themselves up In the school buildings and
their supporters have mounted guard
outside and threaten to resist the gendar
merie when the latter come to expel the
nuns and close the schools.
THE IRISH DEBATE.
Healjr Refers to Ireland as the "Slclc
Child of the British Empire."
LONDON, July 24. The debate on tho
Irish estimates, begun yesterday in the
House of Commons, wis continued acri
moniously today, John Dillon, Irish Na
tionalist, declaring that the speech of
the chief secretary for Ireland, Mr.
Wfrndbam, amounted to a declaration
of war against the Irish people. The
chief secretary, he said, had enforced the
stringent coercion act without a shadow
of Justification. Mr. Dillon reviewed the
case of Sergeant Sheridan and blamed
the government for falling to prosecute
him.
Timothy Healy, Irish Nationalist who
followed, demanded Sheridan's extradi
tion from the United States, though, he
added, he did not think the crown would
convict him with an Irish Jury.
F. L. Harris, Conservative, here inter
rupted, saying the government was
heartily tired of hearing about Sheridan.
This statement was received with de
risive Irish cheers and Mr. Healy con
tinued, referring to Ireland as the "sick
child of the British Empire."
H. H. Asqulth, Liberal, the ex-Home
Secretary, supported the demand for
Sheridan's extradition. The motion to
reduce the vote for Ireland was defeated,
196 to 155.
