' CHICAGO, Aug. 26. Striking machinists
have taken up the camera as a means for
evading Judge Kohlsant Injunction pro
hibiting them from picketing the Alls-Cnl-mcrs
company's plant.
Since there Is nothing in tho Injunction
restraining the strlkorn from taking pic
ture), tho pickets have been transformed
Into amateur photographers and every time
a nonunion man enters or leaves the works
his ptcturo Is taken.
"Taking tho pictures of theso men cnunot
bo construed as Intimidation," said Business
Agent Ireland tonight. "Their pictures will
bo of advantage for circulation nmong the
different unions whero they will be marked
as men who travel through tho country tak
ing tho positions of workmen who arc on

with Intense feeling, rejecting the Idea
that anything had been changed except the
nttltudn of the British government. 1 Ho in
nUted that tho tactics of Ufa" Boers were
still ns regular as ut the beginning of the
war. Their forces, he said, wero smaller
and wero spilt up Into small parties be
causo tho British bad spilt their forces into
innumerable small columns.
"Ho declared that ever since tho. capturo
of Bloemfontoln the British had trampled
upon tho codo of International law. As
for provision transports and the cattle tbo
British nrc continually seizing Mr. Krugor
said these wore intended not for the Boer
commandoes which Uvo from hand to mouth,
DUt tor tne women nnu cnnuren. no con-
icnuca mat iatq ruicnener s prociamution
itself recognized that the, Boors had a reg-
ular administration and an array.

"Having characterized the proclamation
as 'tbo blackest crime committed. Against

view by solemnly calling heaven to wit-
ncss that the story of a Dutch conspiracy
against the British was an abominable lie,
tho most mischievous and diabolical ,lie
over coined slnco man first appeared "in the
world." . .
"Ho .said, however, that peace was still
possible on the basis of give and take, and
that the Boers wero ready to make reason-
ublo sacrifices nnd to give satisfactory
guarantees on tho basis of Independence and
free pardon to colonial Africanders.".
