THE SUKDAY OHEGONIAX, POETtAXD. JULY G, 1UU2. .
MITCHELL IS CONFIDENT
SATS THE MIXERS STRIKE IS AS
GOOD AS WOX.
Operators Are Preparing to Start Up
Several of the Collieries in
a Few Days
WIL.KBSBARRE, Pa., July 5. President
Mltcholl, o the United Mlneworkers, de
livered an address before tho striking
firemen, who held a meeting In this city
today- Mr. Mitchell spoke as follows:
"I am -well pleased with the showing
made by the steam, men in obeying tho
strike order and the firmness displayed
by them. This Is the battle of our lives,
as It means the success or downfall of our
union In the anthracite region.
"Of all the strikes of iny recollection
or that I have ever participated In, there
was not ono I was so confident of win
ning as thl3 one. And let me tell you
that the day Is not far away when my
words will corao true.
"Those fellow-workers among your craft
who refused to obey the strike order and
those few who deserted you slnco will
soon have to regret their action, as they
will suffer greatly when this strike is won
or lost. I have yet to meet the man "who
prefers a traitor to a good, upright, hon
est man, and those men who are now
getting patted on tho back by the officials
of the coal companies "will, at the close of
our strike, be treated with scorn by their
employers. And one thing that I wish to
impress upon you people Is that this great
strike will never be settled with my con
sent except on condition that each and
'every man that left his place -with us In
5our battle shall be returned to his former
Iposltlon otherwise there shall be no set
tlement that will permit discrimination
:or taking an active part In our battle."
Mr. Mitchell also advised the firemen
Ho remain firm, and determined, as success
jwas sure to crown their efforts ore long
they did.
Adam Reacavaga, vice-president of dis
trict No. 1, United Mlneworkers, in an
address Issued tonight, says:
"The Lithuanians, Poles and Slavonians
'.propose to stand by the United Mlne
Vorkers until a victory is -won. If the
strike should be prolonged and the re
sources of the strikers give out, the Poles,
Lithuanians and Slavs are willing to leave
the region and not return until President
'Mitchell advises them to do so."
The movement of empty coal cars along
the railroads and the unusual activity
about several of the collieries In the re
gion indicate to the strikers that an ef
fort is to be made in a few days to start
work in some of tho collieries. In tho
Sazleton region the Bardees are expect
ed to mass men at the Harwood colliery,
which, being on the outskirts of this re
gion, is in less danger of attack than a
jnlne In the heart of tho district, and the
coal can bo shipped from it without be
ing sent past any mining village.
It Is understood in railroad circles to
night that three crews of the Lehigh Val
ley Railroad, stationed at Coxton, havo
been ordered to be in readiness Monday
to move coal to tidewater.
It is also stated that Senators Penrose
and Quay are to uso their influence with
President Baer, of tho Philadelphia &
Reading Road, and President Roosevelt
to bring about an amicable settlement of
the strike.
President Mitchell held a conference at
headquarters tonight with District Presi
dents Nicholls, Fahey and Duffy. Noth
ing could be learned as to what was done
at the meeting.
Anthracite Production Curtailed.
CLEARFIELD, Pa., July 5. An order
was issued here today by tho United
Mlneworkers of district No. 2, rescinding
the order of June 23, which curtailed the
soft-coal output of the region by reducing
the days of labor to four each week. The
last order states that tho purpose of cur
tailing the output was to prevent the fill
ing of anthracite orders, and that this
has been achieved.
STREET-CAR STRIKE OFF. i
Providence Motormen and Conduc
tor "Willins to Go Saclc to Work.
PROVIDENCE, R. I., July 5. The strike
of motormen and conductors on the Union
Traction Company, which has been in
force since June 3, was declared off to
night. An official of the union, which
embraces the employes of all tho street
railway lines in Rhode Island, states that
there had been so many breaks in the
ranks of the strikers that It was neces
sary to stop tho strike to allow those now
out to get their old places.
Tho end of the strike was forecasted
this morning, when a committee of the
strikers held a secret conference with
Manager Potter, of tho Traction Com
pany. At the close, the committee re
turned to headquarters, when tho union
voted to declare the strike off. Manager
Potter said that some of the strikers had
itold him that they wished to return to
work, and ho told them that ho was will
ing to take back the old men pretty gen
erally, only excepting a few whom ho did
not consider it for the company's in
terest to take Lack on any condition. Re
garding the employes of the repair shops,
over 100 of -whom quit work when the
strike was declared, Mr. Potter said that
he could not take them back, as he had
thought they were never coming back
again and had filled th'elr places.
Later, when it was known that the
etrlko had been declared off, Mr. Potter
was asked if the men hired during the
etrike would be kept, and he said that
come would be kept and others would bo
allowed to go.
It was presumed the strike in Paw
tucket, Central Falls and throughout
Blackstone Valley would be ended, but
later the strikers in those places refused
to end tho strike acting independently of
the union in Providence.
BLACKSMITHS WALK OUT.
Several New Features in the Union
Pacific Strike.
OMAHA, July 5. Several new features
appeared in the Union Pacific strike to
day. The developments consisted of a
strike of E5 blacksmiths and helpers, the
walkout of part of the remaining machin
ists at Evanston, Wyo., the arrival In this
city of a new batch of men to take the
strikers' places, and the refusal of brick
masons and helpers employed on the new
shops to return to work until tho strike
is settled. In addition to these develop
ments the electrical workers and switch
men have announced their intention to
take a hand in the strike if the company
continues to hire nonunion men.
There was no trouble when a now batch
of 14 men arrived this morning and were
sent to the boarding tsars In tho shop
yards. A picket who accompanied the
men from the East says they aro mostly
Pennsylvania coal miners, who availed
themselves of free transportation to the
harvest fields, and will desert the com
pany at the first opportunity. Railroad
officials pay little attention to this talk,
and say the road is progressing favorablv,
and that trains are still being run without
difficulty. They lnsl?t that tho strike of
blacksmiths is not serious, and that the
motive power department Is not seriously
crippled.

morning, ajjd demanded that he take some
action toward settling the differences be
tween the men and their employers. Mr

The bulletin has" the following concerning salmon canning, which Is
principal feature of fish canning in the Pacific Northwest:
Salmon canning, one of the most important branches of the fish-canning
industry, was carried on to a limited extent in Europe and the
United States, prior to 1SC4. In that year the Industry was started on
the Pacific Coast at Washington, Yolo County, CaL, on the Sacramento
River, by Messrs. Hapgood, Hume & Co. Their success can be attrib
uted to tho fact that a member of the firm had previously-mastered the
process of canning as practiced on the Eastern Coast, and consequently
the goods packed found a ready market With the Increasing demands
for tho product, an establishment was built on the Columbia River, at
Eagle Cliff, In 1866. Tho Industry developed rapidly and reached Its max
imum .production in 1SS3. The constant fishing for salmon along the river
seriously affected the possible supply, but the exhaustion of these fisher
ies, threatened in the early years of tho decade, was averted by more rig
id laws against Improvident fishing and also by the artificial propaga
tion of fish. The waters of the streams and rivers of Alaska were found
to possess an unlimited supply of salmon, and in 1S7S canneries were lo
cated at Klawak and Old Sitka, tho latter cannery being removed to
Cook Inlet in 1SS2. In the following year there were five canneries lo
cated In Alaska, and six years later, 37 wero in operation, with an out
put of 714.196 cases. The great production of these canneries In 1890 and
1891 glutted tho markets, with a considerable "loss to tho owners of the
canneries. This led to a combination of tho firms engaged In this busi
ness to limit tho yearly output of each salmon cannery. This plan has
been successfully adopted, and the average output each year is now reg
ulated to meet the probable consumption.
Since the beginning of the Industry, In 1S64, the methods In the pro
cess of canning havo been greatly Improved. The original appliances and
devices used wero very crude and involved considerable labor and ex
pense In operation. The improvements made have mainly been In less
ening the period of cooking, permitting the escape of heated air in the
cans, softening the bones of tho small fish, and In the filling, capping, la
beling and boxing of the cans.
Salmon canneries are generally located at the water's -edge or partly
.projecting over the water. Tho fish are received by the Chinese, who
have practically a monopoly of the labor performed in salmon canneries,
weighed, and thrown from tho scales upon a floor where they aro washed
and treated to an Ice-cold water bath to keep them fresh and cool. They
are then taken to the dressing tables, where the head, fins and tall aro
severed. After this they are passed to another operator, who removes
the viscera and thoroughly scrapes the carcafrs Inside and out. The
waste if not uW for oil or fertilizer Is thrown back into tho water. The
fish is then subjected to another washing and at the same" time the
scales are removed. It is now placed in a second tank of clear water for
its final washing and cleaning. By a mechanical device, operated either
by hand or machinery, the fish is cut transversoly in sections of the ex
act length of tho cans to be filled. The fish is then ready for the fill
ers' table, where It is placed In qans either by machinery or by hand,
nfter which tho cans are topped and soldered together. After the cans
are tested for defects they are sent to the "bathroom" for their first
cooking. Here they are heated In retorts made of heavy plank well
bolted to sustain the steam pressure, or in retorts made of iron or steel
plate. It is necessary to cook not only the fish thoroughly but also the
bones in order to make them crumble to pieces. After tho first cooking,
the cans are tested by the process known as "blowing" or "renting,"
which consists of making a small perforation in each can to permit the
escape of the steam, which, if allowed to remain, would ruin the can.
The can Is then placed in another retort for Its second or final cooking"
after which it Is subjected to a lye bnth to remove tho grease and dirt.
Fresh water is then poured on the can to remove the lyo. When once
cooled the cans aro lacquered, and after being labeled and cased they are
ready for tho market. ,
It is shown that Washington has three establishments for oyster
canning, employing 24 persons, with an aggregate value of products of
$65,960,
When this reply was given to the men
they decided to hold a meeting Sunday
night to" consider the advisability of golns
on strike.
To End t,ace-MiU Strike.
WILKESBARRE, Pa., July 5. The Na
tional Board of tho Amalgamated Associa
tion of laccmakers, composed of five
members who reside in Philadelphia,
came to this city tonight for the purpose
of settling the strike at the lace mill. It
Is understood that the mill company and
the employes had reached an agreement
last Saturday by which work was to be
resumed Tuesday, but some hitch occurred
in the arrangements, and the mill did not
start. The National board members held
a conference with a committee of mill
employes this evening. Monday they will
confer with tho superintendent of the mill.
The, present suspension was brought
about by the refusal of the superintend
ent to discharge five girl employes whose
fathers and brothers remained at work
In the mines after the miners' union had
requested them to Join the strikers. The
girls were not discharged, and the UOO
employes quit work.
To Handle Freight nt Corliss.
RACINE. Wis., July 5. Corliss, former
ly Western Union Junction, seven miles
west of this city, promises to be an ex
ceedingly lively town during the next
several months. Anticipating a strike '
among the frelghthandlers in Chicago,
tho Milwaukee Railway and other large !
companies of Chicago purpose to erect a J
platform 500 feet long and 200 feet wide at '
Corliss. The object Is to handle all freight I
at this place formorly handled at Western
aveouo in Chicago. Possibly representa
tives of all the trunk lines will be at Cor
liss with a large force of clerks next week.
The freight will be transferred to cars
and sent straight through Chicago oh the
various lines.
Rock Island Firemen's; Grievance.
KANSAS CITY. July 5. The Star will
say tomorrow:
"Unless the demands of the firemen on
the Rock Island Railway system are
granted in the next 10. days or a com
promise Is effected, a strike will be. or

INDIANAPOLIS. July 5. Indiana offi
cials are worrying as to the whereabouts'
of a. check for $535,000, drawn by the Unit
ed States for Indiana in payment of Its
war claim. Tho check was mailed in
Washington two days ago, but up to this
time It has not been seen by tho state of
cers. Tho fact that the checks to Illi
nois and several other states in payment
of similar clafms have been received has
increased the anxiety -of the Indiana offi
cials. Governor Durbiri Is out of the city
today, but other officials took the matter
up with local postofllce officials.

who retires from the secretaryship of His
Majesty's office of works. The Times in
an editorial article on this matter, says
it thinks it doubtful if Lord Salisbury
will try to find a new secretary, and that
the appointment of Mr. McDonnell cannot
fall to revive the rumors of the Premier's
resignation after the coronation.

EXPEL ERIARS BY FORCE
VATICAN WOULD NOT. OBJECT TO
SCCIX A PROCEEDING.
Shirks From Ajipearlnar as a Direct
Prty to the "Withdrawal A
Compromise tSuggcsted.
ROME, July tAfter an examination of
tho note submitted by William H. Taft,
Governor of the Philippines, regarding the
friar lands In the archipelago, the Vati
can finds one very great obstacle to the
withdrawal of the friars. The Vatican
would not object If the expulsion of tne
friars was arranged and carried out by
another power, so that the holy see
would only have to recognize the accom
plished fact; but It shrinks from appear
ing as a direct party tc the withdrawal,
especially since the religious orders are
powerful In Rome, and abovo all others
in the sacred college. The efforts of the
Vatican arc directed toward finding a
way to consent to the withdrawal of tho
friars from the Islands without appearing
to do so. In fact, the Vatican, It ! be
lieved, would welcome a show of force, to
which it could submit. It would much
prefer, however, a compromise prohibit
ing the friars from returning to the par
ishes they left In 1S9S. but allowing them
to remain where they now are or where
there is no local opposition to their 'min
istrations. The cardinals appointed to discuss Judge
Taffs noto wero to meet July 10, but a
requiem mass for the late King Albert or
Saxony, to be celebrated In the Sistlne
Chapel, nt which the pope and the cardi
nals will assist,, has necessitated a post
ponement of the meeting.
ILL TREATMENT OF FILIPINOS.
Lieutenant Arnold Acaultted of Com
plicity in the Mnttcr.
WASHINGTON, July 5. The War De
partment today gave cut the results of
the inquiry made by Colonel Crowder Into
the case of Lieutenant Frederick T. Ar
nold, Fourth Cavalry, acquitting him or
direct knowledge of or complicity in the
111 treatment of Filipinos by United States
soldiers. x
This la the case referred to by Senator
Culberson on the floor of the Senate some
time ago. The case grew out of charges
made by ex-Private Weir against Lieuten
ant Arnold, alleging cruel treatment or
prisoners of war occurring within his
command while serving In the Philippines.
It was understood that General Miles had
said that the charges were of a character
to Justify a court-martial. The action of
the War Department Is embodied in the
following extract from a letter to Lieu
tenant Arnold, through the Commanding
General of tho Department:
"Tho Secretary of War, while concur
rlii? In the conclusion expressed by the
Inspector that the evidence acquits you
of direct knowledge of or complicity in
the infliction of the punishments shown
to have been practiced by members of
your command, is of the opinion that these
abuses were preventable, and could
scarcely have occurred had you exercised
that high 'degree of vigilance which was
imperatively demanded by the unusual
conditions under which your command
was operating: that your failure to do
this Is only measurably excused by the
numerous and exacting civil duties im
pose.! upon you, and Justly exposes you
to official censure for neglect of duty,
the direct result of which has been that,
because of the few instances of cruel
treatment of prisoners which were of un
doubted occurrence within your command,
the military service generally has Incurred
unjust criticism.
'That such neglect has not been made
the nubject.of charges Is due to the con
siderations .above noted, and to the fur
ther fact shown fh evidence that in your
personal and official relations with the na
tives you uniformly exhibited kindness
and consideration for them and worked
nsslduously and with excellent results for
the betterment of conditions among them,
particularly In the establishment of mu
nicipal government and In the mainte
nance of public schools.
"In this connection, and as further In
fluencing the action taken, the "Secretary
of War is pleased to recognize the special
commendation for gallantry In action ex
tended you by your regimental and divi
sion commanders."
The War Department also furnishes the
following statement of the facts devel
oped: t
"The evidence taken In the course of
the Investigation shows that the punish
ment charged by Privato Weir as having
been Inflicted on the native prisoner at
Paeay was administered by three native
policemen of Pasay, directed and assisted
by Sergeant James C. Edwards, Troop H,
Fourth United States Cavalry, In tho
quarters of tho detachment, six of whom
testify In substantial corroboration of the
material allegations held by Weir, but
state that no serious injury resulted from
this punishmenL It appears that, with
tho exception of Sergeant Edwards, none
of these men had anything to do with the
administration of the punishment, all ex
cept him being spectators.
"Private Weir's allegations of severe
punishment resorted to by members of
Lieutenant Arnold's command at Calaca,
Luzon, were stated by him upon hearsay
evidence, he disclaiming, all direct knowl
edge as to their punishment. The evidence
taken completely refutes the charges, but
does establish tho fact that punishment
of a lesser -degree of cruelty, but wholly
unjustifiable, was eecxetly Inflicted by Ser
geant Edwards and the native scouts In
the quarters separately occupied by them
at Calaca and behind closed doors.
"The evidence of guilt against Sergeant
Edwards and the native scouts, who under
his direction administered In greater part
all tho punishments above referred to, is
reported as conclusive by Colonel Crow
der, who expressed the view that their
trial, therefore, if now possible, would of
necessity be followed by conviction and
severe punishment. He also reports that
such action in the case of Sergeant Ed
wards cannot bo had fof the reason that
upon"publIcatIon In the daily pre?a of the
fact that such charges had been made
against him and that an Investigation ha'd
been Instituted and preliminary action
looking to his trial ordered by the Secre
tary of War, he dcecrted the service on
May 29 at San Francisco, Cal., and has
not since been apprehended."

Tried o Chloroform a Family.
BUTTE, Mont, July 5. A most dia
bolical attempt was made at an early hour
this morning to chloroform a family of
seven persons with the object. It is pre
sumed, of abducting Eva McCafTery. a
quarter-breed Indian girl. The perpe
trator of the deed Is believed to have been
Peter Dcmpsey, the condemned murderer,
who recently escaped from Jail. Dempsey
was believed to have been enamored with
the Indian girl before his arrest. The
man made three attempts to enter the
house. He was seen by Sergeant Dawson,
who took a shot at him.
