RULE OF TYRANNY Depforable-'Case of -the-Colorado Coati Miners, VICTIMS --flF CRUEL GREED. Montana Congressmen -Relates Tale of-Oppreeeien and Injustice -Hitmen Ufe Ceonted For Nothing That Wsattfi Might Be Served. In. aa editorial discussing the cause ot the deplorable condlUont in Colo rado's mining districts the New Tork World says: The present degradation ef the state of Colorado baa been brought about by Jtself. It has permitted the great naming companies to usurp for em inent. They role whole counties. They control -the commonwealth. In tn official government report of the testimony taken by a committee of the national bouse of representa tives Congressman Evans of Montana, who la familiar with conditions on the Rockefeller and other properties, said of a typical mining town: The oemnany owns all the property sur rounding the town. The town is Incorpo rated. It has a mayor, usually the super intendent of the mine, and a town coun cil, oeosiatlng of other employees et the mine. It has a road running up the can yon, these towns all being situated in canyena This read, having been there for, many years, is abandoned by the board of county cemmluloners as a pub lic highway aad thereby becomes only a private road. On that road a, gate is es tablished, so that every one who goes Into that Incorporated town or out of It must get a pass or permission of seme kind. The mayor of one of these towns testi fied that there was a man living m the town whe owned his own house, and he had his family there, and tbls man agi tated too much about a union, and the superintendent and mayor ordered the maa to go "down the canyon," and he went I myself had to get a pass to enter One of the incorporated towns of the state ot Colorado situated upon property of the Colorado Fuel and Iron company, and I had to get a pass to get out It appears further from Mr. Evans statement that during the two yean and three months preceding April 1, 1912, there were 232 violent deaths In Lna Animas county, 180 of them being due to mine accidents; that there is so record of coroners' inquests In 202 of these cases, and that in no Instance has a mining company been held for neg ligence. Besides owning all the land, bouses and highways and holding all the pub lic offices, the mining companies main tain armed forces. If their labor la docile, everything goes well, according to the ..Rockefeller theory. If, grown desperate at length by the Increasing burdena of tbls bondage, labor at tempts to organize or to strike for Its own betterment, it ia evicted, driven "down the canyon," forced to live In wretched camps and abandoned to dis ease and death. The bloodshed that has resulted from these unspeakable tyrannies baa been largely due to tbu sham govern ment, for U has neftiected the weak and taken sides with. the strong. It has interfered only to make matters worse. Never yet has It moved ifriseiy and courageously in support of Its own dJgnlty or to establish Justice. These are the reasons why a section of the United States army baa been detached to restors peace in a Mexican lied American state. Federal troops may be lawfully em ployed in state Jurisdictions to repel Invasions, suppress domestic violence and restore a republican form of gov ernment; There baa been no invasion of Colorado except by cheap labor im ported by the Rockefellers, The do mestic violence results from the policy of tbe Rockefellers in forcibly exclud ing unionism from among their em ployees. It ia absurd, on tbe face of things, to suppose that the Rockefeller company la at peace with its own men, as might be Inferred from young Mr. Rockefel let's statement It la absurd to sup pose tbat his company 1a at war only with outsiders uM only in defense of the Inalienable right of its employees to work Independently of a onion if tbey ao elect It la absurd to suppose a labor war of this reach of Moody violence could arise over an Issue of unionism when, aa be Implies, 90 per cent Of the men would quit their Jobs rather than "submit to union dicta Uon." J . v . Ohio Compensation Law. The state workmen's compensation law waa upheld by tbe Ohio supreme court in a recent decision. Tue-conrt held tlie s action of the law which pro hibits an employer from pleading tbe common law defenses of "fellow serv ant" responsibility, "contributory neg ligence" or "assumption of risk" If be neglects to conlrllmte to the compen sation fund for Injured employees, la not in contravention or me state con adtutlon and tbe fourteenth amend mcnt of tbe federal constitution.

TELLS OF LIFE IN THE -FOREIGN MISSION FIELD At the Presbyterian church Sun day morning, Cameron Johnston of Richmond, delivered an address on personal reminiscences of missionaries of his acquaintance in foreign lands. Mr. Johnston is not an ordained mln itaer, but a lay missionary and self supporting. He has been on the for eign fields for 10 years, 12 of these years have been spent In Japan. Mr. Johnston was In Ashevllle sev eral years ago, when he delivered an address on foreign lands anck people with etereoptlcn views taken by him self. His special purpose in coming to Ashevllle was to see an old friend, Ilev. Mr. Hudson of China, who la 111 at a hospital In this city. Mr. Johnston In the beginning of his address "made the statement that missionaries, while they wrote and spoke of their work, naturally, never mentioned their personal life and its call for sejf-sacrlflce and would not If It they knew of it permit him to do so. Among the personal accounts v he gave, was that of an old woman who desired to go to Africa as a mission ary. The church board did not ac cept her. So filled was she with the desire to go that she sold her little farm and all that she possessed and paid her passage to the African coast From then, she was asslted to the in terior of the Conga state, where the Presbyterian mission was. She was put in charge of the or phanage and so well did she fill the position that the missionaries at work there divided their salaries with her, and the following year the church ar ranged for he support. For 13 years she remained at her post without furlough to come home to America. Her life of zeal and self-sacrifice so Inspired Mr. Johnston that he wrote to her asking for her picture, that he might see the face of one who had been of personal benefit to him. Then taking the picture out his pocket he turned the good old black face to the congregation, saving: "I have not told you yet that she was an old ne gro mammyv" BILL AT MAJESTIC IS "Lovers and Lunatics" appeared at the Majestic starting yesterday for three days. This funny farce with in terpolated numbers and a chorus of eight show girls will be one of the advents of the season it is stated. Perhaps no funnier book was ever written, at least, people who have seen it say as much, and you don't laugh but once all through the show and that Is all of the time. It is said that from the time the curtain rises on the first act until it drops on the last there Is a laugh in every line of the piece, The cast includes such people as James Coghlan, John De Ormond; Blanche Hazelton and Caroline Rose, all well known people who have been In big productions, Coghlan being a comedian well worth seeing. The part of "Steve, the chore boy," that he plays In this show Is the best thing he ever did and his number with the girls, "This Is the Life for Me," Is the' song hit of the bill. SCHOONER CAPTURED BY A MEXICAN TUG On Board U. 8, S. California, Maz- atlan. May 10. (Via wireless to San Diego, Cat, June 1.) The Mexican tug Herculean, emboldened by Its successes under cover of darkness last night when the provision barges were captured, entered Mazatlan harbor today and captured the Mexican schooner Garibaldi, which had a car go of sugar for the United Sugar company, of Los Mochla.
