of Labor to Illnnie.
INDIANAPOLIS. Jan. SO. Scenes ot tho
wildest disorder marked today's session
of tho United Mine Workers of America.
Duncan McDonald, secretary and treas
urer of the Illinois miners, chareed that
Samuel Gompers, president of tho Ameri
can Federation of Labor, was "gloriously
drunk" during the Seattle convention and
on other occasions. Gompers denied tho
accusation from tho convention platform.
He called McDonald a "liar" and a "slan
ddrer.'' Charles II. Moyer, president of
tho Western Federation o"t Miners, reiter
ated the charge that if tho Michigan cop
per miners' strike failed It would bo be
cause of financial auststance not given
by the, American Federation of Labor.
Tho delegates showed little sympathy
for Gompers. He asserted -ho was being
tried "beforo a Jury whose minds were
already poisoned," but every" point made
by Moyer and MoDonald was wildly ap
plauded. After McDonald had concluded
the tumult was so great that Gompers,
despairing of a hearing, put on his over
coat and hat and started to leave. The
delegates were silenced, however, 'by an
appeal from Moyer, and Gompers re
turned. For Woman Suffrage.
Tho session was short and the only
other business transacted was to reaffirm
a declaration in favor of woman's suf
frage, discuss a plan to decrease tho tep
rescntatlon at tho conventions, which was
referred to a referendum, and vote down
a proposition to place a clause in the
constitution prohibiting members' of tho
military to becomo affiliated with tho
miners' organization.,

Donald and during the, applause which
greeted the statement that' tho head of
of tho federation was "gloriously drunk"

by the ,two. In addition to the Seattle
occasion. McDomUd said Gompers was
under the influence- ot liquor at the At
lanta convention.
"Gompers had a 'snoot full' at Atlanta,
McDonald shouted. "Ho has told you
what a great friend he Is of John Walker,
our' former president in Illinois. I saw

"Lit Up" In ChlcnKOj
"Then again in the bar of a Chicago
hotel Gompers got 'lit up,' called mo all
kinds "of names and told his followers
how" he fixed me at Atlanta. Jim Lord,
a delegate to this convention from Illi
nois, told mo about that occasion."
Speaking of the Beattle occasion, Mc
Donald 'said:
"Above the obscene language and
maudlin' song I recognized the volco ot
.Gompers, who seemed to bo trying to
sing a solo and keep time by pounding
on the table with a beer bottle. Let mo
tell you they didn't havo any glusses
there-rthey had a tub filled with bottled
beer and cracked Ice and on tho table
were half-gallon decanters of whisky.'
McDonald then referred to the asser
tion of Gompers that an assessment for
tho Michigan copper strikers would dis
rupt the federation.
"The American Federation of Labor

nre responsible for the new philosophy of
government tho philosophy that would
set human above material things," Gov.
Hiram W. Johnson said yesterday in an
address here before the Woman's council.
Governor Johnson pointed out tho many
laws In which women of California led
the fight; tho eight-hour law, tho Im
migration bill, the red light abatement
bill, teachers' and mothers' pension and
workmen's compensation. For all these
Governor Johnson gave the women much
credit
But do not think." he said, "that I
have come here to compliment you alone.
You havo brought to politics a new era,
hut you have many of the faults under
which rntn suffer.
"Tou like tho limelight. You are al
most ns vain as men.
"Somo of you arc prejudiced and harsh.
"In short you are exactly the tamo as
your brethren except for one thing.
They bring a fetich of tradition to
politics you think only of the concreto
present And in that fact lies much of
your power.
"I can remember when government
was an Intangible thing; when one
thought of it as somu vague power.
Women havo done more than change
laws; they have mado ot government a
common ordinary useful thing.
"With women has arlren a new phil
osophy of government; a world wide
Philosophy which belongs to no party,
no sect, nor no sex. This new philosophy
believes that the government's purposo
Is to make pcoplo happier; to make them
better; that tho only successful govern

Viscount Gladstone, tho governor gen

declaration of martial law by tho gov
ernment had been "an Imperative duty."
He made no reference to the deportation
of tho labor leaders.
General Jan Chrlstlann Smuts, minister
of defense, sprang to his feet nt tho earli

Nothing to Do But to
Dismiss Cnci,
KANSAS CITY, Mo., Jan. 30.-InJuilc-tions
against John T. Barker, attorney
general of Missouri, preventing him from
proceeding with suits to recover $11,000,
000 excess freight and passenger charges
made by railroads while tho Missouri rate
cases were In litigation, were dissolved
in an opinion by Judge Smith McPherson,
filed in tho federa court today.
The original JnJunctlon brought by rail
roads to prevent enforcement ot Mis
souri's 2-cont passenger and maxi
mum freight laws also were dismissed.
In accordance with tho recent division of
tho United States supremo court uphold
ing the laws.
In addition tho court held the $10,000
bond put up by each railroad In 1905 when
tho stato rate laws were enjoined has no
reference to those persons who haVo paid
excess rates or passenger fares and they
can recover whatever Is due them.
"Tho Injunction bond," declared Judge
McPherson, "docs not limit any person
as to his claim for recovery of over
charges." Judgo McPherson appointed Wash
Adams, an attorney of thin city, as a
innster to adjucate all claims brought In
tho federal court for excess charges, de
claring, however, that claimants might
suo for recovery of overcharges In any
court they choso a state or national.
Tho court declared It would retain Jur
isdiction over only such clnlmskss might
to filed before the master for "adjudica
tion. Attorney General Barker had' opposed
the court's right to appoint a mas tor.- Ho
contended that, under the decree of tho
higher court, Judge McFherson's only
duty lay in dismissing the cases "with
out prejudice," talcing no cognizance of
how the excess charges were collected.

gain only three a week. i
The total number of publications Is 21,
627. There aro 2,010 dallies tho evening
editions outnumbering the morning by
about three to one. There are 672 Sunday
papers. - It requires forty different lan

WASIUNGTON, Jan. 30.-Tho senate
foreign relations commlttco today voted
to recommend Immedlato ratification of
gcnoral arbitration treaties with Great
Britain, Janan and other nations, tweti-ty-four
treaties In all. These have been

Tho treaties aro twenty-four In num

The treaty with Great Britain had been
held up because some feared its ratifica
tion might force arbitration at the Hague
of the Panama canal tolls controversy.
President Wilson's attitude on that
question Is generally understood to bo
that this provision Is a violation of the
Hny-Pauncofoote treaty. Congress may
sottle tho dispute ajid by repeating tho
free passago clause or suspending Its
operation pending diplomatic negotiations.
The California alien, land question was
Indirectly involved in the Japanese arbi

view that the controversy practically Is
at an end, settled the minds of the ma

Insofar as the general arbitration treaty

The public demands what It
wants and gets it.
