Savidge at the : People's Church yesterday took as his subject, "Byron Michael," the 12 year-old boy charged with stealing books from the library at Beatrice NeW The text was taken from proverbs 22-6, 'Train up a child In jthe way he should go, and when he is pld, he will not depart from it" In part he said: J 1 ; "The city of Omaha and the whole tate of Nebraska has become great ly interested in the fate of Byron f Michael, , the 12-year-old boy , of Beatrice.' - - v "The crime I It appears he stole 29 books, was tried in the courts of his, city 4nd was sentenced to nine years in the reformatory, or until he ' became 21 "years old , ;' Not BornCriminal. ' "As I understand it, this boy is not a born criminal. He is some what mixed on property rights,, but ' he has' a lot of company all over this land and that, too, of people much older and better instructed than himself. One night last week IS houses were robbed right in Omaha. If a man in Omaha leaves his auto unlocked some thief will get away with it. ; "This boy has read the papers and knows this and he has fairly breathed a thieving atmosphere. So Be took some books. ' "This state, by the very condition of its people and by the example j which it lias set. has trained this boy and raised this boy to be what he is. Give Him a Chance. "God does not treat offenders as this boy has been treated. God never sent a person to hell, and never will, without giving them at leasuone good, fair chance. This boy never had that. I know this by his youth and by his surroundings and his op portunities. What light has this child had? Has he been able to weigh the results of human actions? What teacher has instructed him in the matter of right and wrong? That boy has a right to demand that he be given a chance outside of prison walls and with proper surroundings. "Another consideration I beg you to think on. He is a child 12 years old. His habits are not fully formed. 'His character not shaped. "He is a student, a reader. He has a "wolfish hunger" for books. He thirsts for knowledge. This is fruitful ground for the making of manhood. .,. ! ' AMust Have Home. ! "Some wilt reply to me that he will be taught in the reformatory. I reply that the reformatories of , the coun try and the prisons of the country 'have not made any great record in (the creation of model citizens. But the very thought that they have been 'confined for a term of years sticks for evil. The result is bad. Another thing: they are taught ways hi sin and wickedness by evil asso ciations, which result in further harm. 4 !'We have a noted case of this yery thing now in this city. A young man, 21, who has spent most of his life in the reformatory, hired a car ' for three days, ran off with it, and ; the authorities are now offering $300 for his capture. They will get him, and when he comes out of prison the next time he will be a confirmed criminal. I , "Fainting Bertha Example. perate woman with every year she serves in orison. I "What that boy needs is not a pub- lie nome.nor a private nome in a city. He ought to be on a ranch with a good, wise man and woman. He ought to be in the open. He ought to have books, interesting and helpful, and inspiring. He ougnt to be taught the principles of right and wrong. He should be taught of God and the Word of God. You can't make a man without this." The following people signed a protest against sending the youth to the reform school: Effie Brinck inan, William Brinckman, Eva Will eby, Mrs. G.

" Members of the delegation said at the time they merely wanted to,'. 'offer. their good offices to the government" and Mr. Stone personally declined to discuss the strike, saying the brotherhood's attitude would be made known later. Today's statement was the first for mal one to come from any member of the railroad delegation since the conference.- v v. Chicago, Nov. 2. A crucial test of strength in the great strike of soft coal miners, which already has made idle more than 425,020 men, accord ing to union leaders claims, was awaited, tonight by both- operators ana miners to develop tomorrow morning when the mine whistles sounded Ihe call to work. . ......V1' Although the strike went into ef fect at midnight Friday night, both sides to the controversy have agreed that Monday would prove the power or lack of it on the part of . the United Mine Workers of America to stop production of bituminous coal. In some sections, notably western Kentucky, union miners have con tinued to work under an agreement entered into several weeks ago. lomorrowf also will put to the test, in part at least, the1 power of the United States government as expressed through the injunction, issued Frday by Federal Judge An derson at Indianapolis restraining union officials from issuing further strike orders or encouraging the miners to join in the strike.. Most union chiefs gave immediate obed ience to the government order but their men in most instances left the mines Friday and refrained yes terday from returning to work. Strike .Very Effective. 't Union leaders in announcing that more than 400,000 had quit work declared the strike was virtually 100 per cept effective. Coal operators did not wholly concede the union men's claims. The operators pointed to practi cally normal production in the huge nonunion mine fields of West Vir ginia and Pennsylvania, there being about 150,000 nonunion miners in; those two states. , West .Virginia operators maintained that in that state soft) coal production was at SO per cent normal. About 50 per cent of Kentucky's' 40,000 union miners were also at work yesterday under contracts. . ' In "Alabama, where the miners' rhipfa sairl 2.100(1 nf the 2fi 00ft min. ers had walked out, operators, while not denying the figures, pointed to some of the larger mines of that state as still in operation. In North Dakota most of the 1,500 lignite miners remained at work. In Utah the majority of miners remained at work, it was reported, because of conflicting statements that .the strike was off andthat it was not off. At least 1,000, how ever, had struck, it appeared, i Five Mines Operate. Colrado's mining districts were largely closed down,' although the Colorado Fuel and Iron company re ported five mines in ooeration. Yesterday's reports said only 800 of the 4,800 miners in New Mexico had struck. Elsewhere, especially in the great bituminous fields of Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Ohio, Indiana and Illinois, the strike apparently was fullv effective. The full effect of the government's action in the strike, including the rehabilitation of the fuel administra tion and the seizure of coal in transit by the railroads for redistribution by regional committees has not been indicated. The War department,, it became known yesterday, had or dered the O'Gara mine, near Spring field, III., which supplies Camp Grant at Rockford, 111., with coal, to continue operation. . The company was unable to comply as the miners remained away from the mine. Coal operators in many regions have expressed themselves as ready to operate if possible under govern ment orders and protection. Union leaders generally have asserted not even the government could compel the miners to work. rj Sunday Passes Quietly; Denver, Colo., Nov. 2. Sunday passed quietly in Colorado coal camps, according to reports from all over the state tonight. Meetings of union miners through out the Trinidad district were held during the day, at which, according to union officials, the vote virtually, was unanimous not 9to return to work tomorrow morning. Corps of organizers under the direction of Robert Llewellin, organizer of dis trict No. 15, United 3Iine Workers of America, visited the various southern fields' camps. Later the organizers met at Trinidad and re ported two new locals organized at theRoyal and Green Canon mines, near- Aguilar. ' , The organizers said they im pressed all miners with the impor tance of maintaining good terms with the National Guard forces now distributed to half a dozen different camps in the state. Organizer Llewellin said there would be no trouble, unless soldiers were ordered to the mouth of the mines. Representatives of the Colorado Fuel and Iron company, the largest operator in Colorado, announced the company would throw open its prop erties in the Trinidad district tomor row to give miners an opportunity to go to work.

HELD UP Anti-Bolshevik Leader Demands 15,000 Be Turned Over, But Command Refused. ' Troops Leave For Duty. El Paso, Tex., Nov. 2. The first squadron of the Eighth cavalry, numbering 240 officers and enlisted men, under Maj. Kenzie B. Ed monds, left here for Gallup, N. M., for duty in connection with the coal strike there. The troops were sent in response to a request by Goovernor O. A. Larrasolo of New Mexico. Santa Fe, N. M, Nov. 2. At the request of Governor O. A. Larra zolo, "Tour troops of cavalry are being sent from Fort Bliss, Tex., to Gallup, N. M., to protect property and persons there. The sheriff and coal mine operators informed the governor that the men at all the mines except one had gone out, but that most of the men would gradu ally return to work if given protec tion. In Colfax county only 20 per cent of the miners went out and all of the mines are working. At Madrid all of the men are working. Gallup is reported to be the only place in the state seriously affected by the strike. ' ' - V No disorders have been reported from any point. ? - Orders to Be Ready. San Francisco, Cal., Nov. 2. Twoi companies of coast artillery sta tioned at the Presidio here have re ceived orders to be ready for move ment at any time in case of emer-j gency calls from points in the coal) strike zone, it'was announced.

' - Mr. Brewster, said coal operators. in tne central competitive fields would not emulate New York wholesale coal dealers. infaskinur President Wilson to give them rep-i resentation on regional committees which will supervise the distribution of coal. After being apprised of the sug gestion of the advisory board of!! the Brotherhood of Locomotive En- gineers that an industrial commis- ! sion be appointed to deal with the, present industrial unrest, Mr. BrewJ ster said any action taken by the government would. . receive the hearty co-operation of the opera tors, " '"' ' Keady to Negotiate.; V He reiterated the operators would resume negotiations with the miners as soon as the latter agreed to sub mit disagreements to arbitration and continue coal production pending the award'of the arbitration board. He asserted the operators did not contemplate meeting in the near fu ture to discuss the situation. "While we do not expect many union miners to return to work to-j. morrow," Mr. Brewster said", "those, who do report will be treated asi though they had never laid down their tools. No miner will be dis- t criminated against ' J "As was stated previously, there are about 13,000,000 tons of bitumin-i cus coal mined and as soon as that) is exhausted the country will be-, without soft coal. Probably -some! of the men will return to work when; their surplus funds run out and their families are in need. . ; "We are anxious to reopen ne- gotiations with the miners when-1 ever they agree to our proposition to refer all disagreements to arbi tration and continue coal produc tion pending the award of the arbi tration board. : ; "We will, leave everything to. the government and will not request representation on regional commit tees. We also will support the gov ernment in whatever action it takes' regarding the suggestion of officialsi of the locomotive engineers' brotherhood." Vladivostok, Sunday, Nov. 1. (By The Associated Press.) A train with part of a consignment of 68,000 rifles recently shipped from America to, AdmiraP Kolchak, was held up on' October' 24' by General Semineff, the anti-bolshevik leader, in Siberia. General Seminoff de manded that 15,000 rifles be deliv ered to him by 11 o'clock on the morning of October 25 or force would be used to obtain them. The lieutenant commanding., the train guard f of 50 Americans communi cated with Maj. Gen. William j S. Graves, commander of the American expeditionary forces in Siberia, and received an order under no condi; tion to turn over the rifles. Although no word has been re ceived at American headquarters at Vladivostok regarding events at Tchita since Seminoff's time limit expired, Japanese headquarters last night notified General Graves that advices from Tchita the Japanese guarded sector were that through Japanese officials the train had not been molested and had proceeded toward Omsk. J The last word from tlie American guard was that General Graves' in structions had been received and that the Cossacks would need to use force,to get the arms. As compared with the small Amer ican guard, Seminoff has several hundred Cossacks with artillery and armored trains-at Tchita. " Major General Graves recently re fused the delivery of arms to the Russian authorities at Vladivostok, his action resulting in criticism of the American command by the Rus sian authorities n the far east, as by General Knox, chief of the British military mission, now at Omsk, who said that General Graves had held up the delivery of arms which the-Russians had bought and paid for. - .- v Sixty-eight,.. thousand rifles 'ana artre ouantities of ammunition con signed to Admiral Kolchak arrived at Vladivostok two months ago, at a time when Cossack and American relations were tense. General Graves refused the delivery of these arms and ammunition supplies at Vladi vostok, believing that they would fall info the hands of the Cossacks and never reach the TColchak front He finally agreed to the delivery of the arms to the Kolchak representa tives at Irkutsk if Americans were permitted to guard the train through Cossack country. The Russians Insisted that 35 cars be-made up into two -trains and asked permission to guard one of them. The Aemricans found the Russians were attempting to sand wich many cars of merchandise be tween the cars carrying arms. It was then insisted by the Americans that American " guards accompany both trains to Irkutsk. t The first train was not molested. In making his demand General Semenoff quoted the authority of General , . Becklemesheff at Omsk. The Russian command at .Vladivo stok is without knowledge of the po sition held .by Generar Beckleme sheff.
