GRKENSIiCRG. Ind.. July Four complaints have )n filed In the Circuit Court by David Coafs. Alfred S. Edward. Kdward K. M'iritt and Mabel M. Merrltt. respectively, against Julius A. Wayland. each claiming Judgment for $1.". Wayland i.s the editor find publisher of the Coming Nation, a "reform" paper published here since March, 1S13, and the plaintiffs .vere employes in the concern The chief reformer advocated public ownership of monopolies, especially railroads, the abolition of so.-iety and the distribution of wealth to those who create it. co-ojerative industry, etc. That wealth I longs to those by whose toil it la created or produced hat been a weekly utterance of the paer. All manufacturers have been denounced as robbers because they have not divided thdr profits with their employes. The paper's circulation Is 23.OoO copies. The complaint of Coates is a sample of all. but more voluminous than the pthers. It avers. In substance, that the plaintiff Is a practical printer, and that he was employed by Wayland early in the latter's career here at a salary of $12 per week as foreman of the printing department, and as an inducement to his taking the position Wayland represented that the establishment was co-operative, and m addition to the specific salary he should share along with the other employes and with Wayland the net profits of the business, and that upon the faith of these representations and promises he went to work. It was his habit on pay days to make little speeches to his employes. reciting the marvelous success of the paper, and time and again he said. "Thi3 all belongs to you. boys; your labor has created it." In a few months Wayland announced a new scheme; instead of drawing the cash prollts they would accumulate a large fund In running the paper, -and In the course of a year would establish a colony somewhere in Tennessee to which they would all remove and publish the paper there, all having a community of interest. Plaintiffs acquiesced in this, and the removal being alout to take place the plaintiffs desired the undertaking placed in some legal form, so they might force a community of interest. This Wayland refused, saying If they could not take his word for It they could stay out. The complaints close by saying they have followed him with n "faith that is vain, and can no longer rely upon the evidence of things not seen." and hence they Invoke the law. They aver that the net earnings are $10,000. The trials promise to be highly sensational. STIXSOVS WIVES. It In Clinrned tlint He Hun Two, itnri Tipton I Excited Over the Story. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. t TIITON. Ind., July 23. A sensation was created In Tipton this morning that has set the w hole city agog, and there is .no end to developments. Yesterday two welldressed women came to Tipton and stopped at one of the hotels. This morning they went before the Mayor, where they swore out a warrant for the arrest of "Jack" Stlnson, a blacksmith. Stlnson came to this city about a year ago, took work In a large shop, and his conduct; was such as to win him the respect of all who met him, particularly Miss Anna Murphy. After a few months' acquaintance Stlnson and Miss Murphy were married in the Catholic Church, and, after making quite an extensive wedding tour, returned and went to housekeeping. All went happily until the arrival of wife No. 1. when there was a commotion that stirred up the whole community. Wife No. 1 hails from Urbana. ()., and claims that she was married to Stinson in the fall of 1S7U, and has two children by him. He left her In the fall of 1S32, but before his departure gave h:r Slenty of money and frequently wrote to er, sending her more money. Finally she ricclved word that he had been killed In a railroad wreck In California, but later she learned that he was In Tipton. She wrote to him, an I In answer was Informed that he was under arrest In a gold-watch swindle, that he would have to go to th2 penitentiary, and for her not to write to him any more. She did not hear from him for a long time; finally ishe wrote to the marshal, who Informed her that he was working in a blacksmith shop and that he had r?cently married. She at once set about to bring him to justice, an 1, arming herself with a marriage certificate, a witness to identify him and a lot of letters, she came to Tipton. Stinson was arrested, and when brought face to face with her denied ever meeting hor and denied being her husband. She had enough evidence with her to cause him to be lodgM in Jail until next Monday, when he will have his preliminary hearing. Mr. Stlnson was called upon at the jail, but he absolutely refused to make a statement. There was an affecting scene when wife No. 1 met wife No. 2. Uoth ore of highly respected families, and the friends of wife No. 2 are very Indignant over the turn of affairs. c j at i: vs k x i i : ii 1 1: c i AHMiitiltetl, DriiKTKe!.

NEW YORK. July 23. Baring. Magown & Co. -will ship to Europe $300,000 In gold, which was engaged at the subtreasury today. This, with the $1,500,000 taken from the gold reserve last Friday, red.uces It to the lowest point In lt3 history, something over $60,000,000. In commenting on this condition a prominent banker declared to-day that while there was no use in urging another bond Issue until the tariff muddle was straightened out, a serious condition is threatened.

He did not consider such a thing probable, but It was possible, unless the administration took some action soon.

To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal: One fact should be remembered In behalf of labor-employing corporations. When they are obliged to part with their men because the latter refuse to work any longer, or. In other words, are "on strike," they do not instigate any public outbreaks. The "barons" do not call meetings or conventions of their class to frame resolutions defining their rishts that finally develop Into threats. They do not send out emissaries to form societies of bankers, merchants, manufacturers, contractors and other employers in various communities, Instructing said societies to pursue and pound to death their laboring men, or to mob every employer who refuses to shut up shop so as to keep out all laboring men. The capitalists do not get up "sympathy" combines to obstruct the commerce of the whole country because they may happen to be boycotted by their o.vn particular set of lalorers. These capitalistic "despots" who are called so cruel by labor unions do not force or try to force all other employers to join in locking out all laborers everywhere so as to bring to their terms the striking laborers. They do not organize mobs and inflame them to murder and destroy the property of all employers who do not act with them and who continue the use of laborers. When a corporation has a strike on hand it is not necessary to call out the military to repress combinations of capitalists Laborers can easily say that capital does not need the aid of mob3 to enforce Its decrees, for the reason that it can persecute by reducing wages. True enough, but the fact is this persecution does not extend to distant or near communities. It does not punish innocent citizens by depriving them of coal, food supplies. Hour from the mills or meats from the West. It does not Interfere with the mails or embargo the products of the South or the fruits of California. This persecution does not cut railroad trains, or kill engineers, or deprive the traveling passengers of water and food while imprisoned in cars with blocked wheels; yet the.e outrages have occurred -under the orders of Debs and his conspirators. Tru. the railway managers "came together" in C'nicago, but they had to to save their property and meet organized violence by organized defense. It is true, again. 'that corporations may resort to "black lists," but this does not involve wholesale riot, nnd can be remedied by appeal to tne law. The black list docs not burn kovvii warehouses, topple over cars or draw the blood of men who desire to work. Outside of the parti ular corporation that has trouble with its men. there are no outrages. In this respect, at hast, the "d Fnotlsm of capital" Is far preferable to the exasperating tyrranny exercised under the dictatorship of lebs and his lieutenants. Can any reasoning man who is a laborer deny that "capitalistic greed" can b? controlled iy law created at the ballot box? Can any reasoning man arrive at any other conclusion than this: that individual "rights" can ne-r be maintained when his will is under the domination of unions that slavishly perir.it lebs r Co. to indulge in a personal dream of ambition to control the empire of labor and to live in the enjoyment of a handsome revenue not earned by the horny hands or the sweat of the brows?

n SCHEME FOR AN A. L. U. MTADDKV SAYS A COMPAYIOX TO Tin: A. it. i . is to hi; oiujamzld. Lnbor I'iiIoiim Ordered to I'nter State .Milltlfi Service Hoard of the Iv. of L. in Scnslon nt Oiuahu. KANSAS CITV, Mo.. July 23. J. S. McFadden, secretary of the local American Railway Union in Argentine, and a personal friend of President Dens, returned to the city to-day, after a week's visit with Debs in Chicago. Mr. McFadden stated Debs and his co-workers, now In jail under federal indictment, were busily engaged perfecting plans for the organization of a new society, namely, the "American Labor Union." It is the intention, said Mr. McFadden to a reporter, to Include in this organization all labor of whatever kind not merged under the head of railroading. It will be affiliated with the American Hallway Union, and doubtless be controlled by the same officials. There Is to be no class of labor, no matter how insignificant, that cannot find a place in this new union, and when the aims of its projectors shall have been fulfilled there will be an organization whose powers will be apparently limitless. K. OF L. AS M1LI I lAMLV. i Reported Scheme for All I nlou Men to io Into the Service. NEW YORK. July 23. The Herald this morning says the report Is current, and Its authenticity is vouched for by an official attached to one of the most Influential of the labor organizations in this city, that organized labor throughout the country Is to unite in an effort for the conversion of the militia to labor Interests. This Is to be accomplished by the enlistment of labor men in the National Guard in the several States. Th3 movement was inaugurated in the West more than a year ago, and labor leaders in this city who favor the scheme point to the recent conduct of the National Guard in California, who refused to do duty In quelling railroad riots, as an evidence of what the plan may accomplish. It has been stated that as a result of a conference following the recent outbreak In Chicago an order was promulgated throughout th? labor organizations in the East directing the men to enlist in the militia. This is denied by the labor leaders, but the fact remains that the application for admission to the regiments of the National Guard in this State have recently been more numerous than ever. Among the applicants are many members of labor organizations. Some of the applicants are members of the Knights of Labor, and this Is regarded as significant, because of the fact that after the railroad riots in Buffalo In 1S90 the district assemblies of that order passed resolutions requesting their members to refrain from enlisting In the National Guard, and of those already enlisted It was asked that they retire at the expiration of their terms of enlistment, or earlier. If possible. The officers of the regiments of the National Guard in this city have no knowledge of the move contemplated by the labor men, but they are now watching applications for membership with more than usual care, and particularly with a view to ascertaining whether or not applicants are members of labor organizations. Col. William Seward, of the Ninth Regiment, X. G. S. N. Y., at a meeting of the officers of the regiment, Friday night, gave instructions that hereafter all applicants for membership In the regiment shall be Interrogated as to whether they are nwm bers of any lalor organization. If so, the Colonel directed, their applications should be submitted to him for his personal investigation before the men are enlisted. General Fitzgerald, commanding the First Brigade, which Includes all the National Guard organizations of this city, says he does not put any credence in the report that the leaders of organized labor throughout the country had decided to change their policy In respect to enlistments of labor men In th National Guard and had quietly promulgated an order to labor organizations In the Kast directing their members to join military' regiments. General Fitzgerald said he had heard of the report, but that he had observed no Indications that such a plan to control the guard was on foot. It' could not work any way, for there were too many men who were regularly enlisted who were not members of labor organizations to be outbalanced by those who were. Other National Guard officers who were interviewed thought there was nothing In the report. Kseeutlve llonrd K. of L. 'OMAHA, July 23. The general executive board of the K. of L. held an informal meeting this morning, but did not transact any business. This afternoon the full board began Its work in secret session. General Master Workman Sovereign declared the strike was still on. and said that representatives of the order reported from Chicago that the railroads were not randling freight, and would not be able to do so under present conditions. The railroad managers, he said, were whistling .o keep up their courage. It was rumored this evening that delegate Maguire had a scheme for h;v.ng the government foreclose the moitgage on the Union I'acllic road and have this railroad operated by the government in the future, as has been advocated by th.? Knights of Labor. Mr. Maguire thinks if this Congress does not do the right thing the next Congress will be made up wih more friends of the people. The leaders now in Omahji are all In hearty sympathy with Debs, and express themselves willing to do all In their power to assist his lefense. Among other things to be considered while in Onaha la the question of forming rniluary corr.panied of laboring men. Till Mill L.L DOrilTFl L. i:ven Probable He Will ot Serve on the Labor ommlion. WASHINGTON. July .. Up to 10 o'clock to-night no response had been received from Mr. Trumbull, and it was unknown whether he would accept the appointment. Mr. Trumbull was spoken o' In the highest terms here by lawyers and public men, who say that he is a man of the highest integrity, of marked ability and still vigorous, notwithstanding his advanced age. A dispatch from Chicago says: The Daily News says that on Friday a telegram was received at the law oflice of Hon. Lyman Trumbull from President Cleveland, tendering Judge Trumbull a membership on the arbitration committee to investigate the railroad strikes. The telegram simply stated that the appointment had been made, and expressed the hope that the recipient would be willing to serve; tnat the dispatch was at once forwarded to Maekinaw, Mirh.. where Mr. Trumbull Is rusticating. As yet he has neither accepted nor declined the honor tendered him, and what he will do in regard to the matter is an open question, though, owing to his advanced age, his acceptance Is considered doubtful. COSTLY TO lCI.n SAM. Appropriation of SJ.(MMH ot Unoiigh to Pi MnrMliMlM IIIIIh. WASHINGTON, July IT". -While residents of Cook county, Illinois, will without doubt suffer an enormous loss as the result of the disorder and lawlessness attending the great sttike. the taxpayers of the United States at larye will also have to irn-et the expense incumd by the national government. Tiiat thU will bo conrlderaLle there will Ik no doubt, but at present it is not possible for the accounting officers to reach even an approximate estimate of the total. July It the Attorney-eencral to Congress a communication asking fur a deficiency appropriation of $2.V(nN to defray the expenses of retaining United States marsh ils and deputies for service during the Coxey movements and the strike. Now he is satisfied that all of this money, and more, perhaps, will be required to meet expenses. A larne number of deputies were employed, and in many Instances It was necessary to feed ajid shelter them at the government's ex

pense. Arms and ammunition were purchased, carriages and hores wre hired and railway fares wtre paid. The War Department has also been put to a great expense, but just how much will rot be known until the quarterly and special returns come to Wahinton. The troops carried with them the rations they wouid otherwise have oaten at their pots. so there Is no additional expense on that score, and the principal item of expenditure will be under the head of transportation. In some cafes the railway companies will probably present no tills, and especially where tht trwops were employei In the protection of their own lines: but In others, where the troops were hauled half way across the cefntinent, the bills will be heavy. The limited annual appropriation for the transportation of troops was at a low ebb when the strike occurred, and In consequence of these extraordinary expenses the War Department has had to forego altogether Its usual summer practice of tranl tferring troops from one station to anothrl so much hardship will result to the trooffl stationed at posts In the extreme South arrl in the Indian country who had reasonably expected to be transferred to less urduoua service after serving their turn. AT CAHIMS SHAFT. Striking; Miner Will Attempt to Drive Off the Digger To-Dn. FEUU. III., July 23. Ninety-one m:n went down the Cahlll shaft to work this morning before 7 o'clock, and after that hour forty more came with their tools, buf were told that they could not go down until to-morrow. Groups of strikers were scattered about the streets endeavoring to prevent the men by persuasion or threats from going down, and in some Instances were successful. This afternoon crowds were seen going towards the western part of the city, and the situation was considered so serious that the Law and Order League Riflemen were ordered to the City Hall tn readiness for immediate response to a call, and the sheriff at Ottawa was notified. It has been stated that a monster meeting of all the strikers in this vicinity will be held to-morrow to compel Cahill's coal diggers to quit work. Deputy Sheriff Harnett, who came this evening, informed a committee of miners they may work or remain Idle, may pass all the resolutions they choose, but that every man who Interferes with Cahill's miners will be promptly and severly punished. MOIti: TItOOPS CALLKD OIT. Strikers on the Count Still Likely to Cnune Trouble. SAN FRANCISCO, July 23.-The Southern Pacific officials Insist that they are conducting regular business without hindrance. Nearly all of their trains are running pretty regularly. The American Railway Union men at Oakland Insist, however, that tha strike is still on In all Its force, and that they are bound to win or at least be taken, back on their own terms. In Sacramento the strikers continue to quarrel among themselves, the trouble having arisen over a public meeting of strikers, at which a majority of those attending voted to return to work, and so notified the railroad company. A large number of strikers at Sacramento claim that this action was witnout authority. They insist that the strike ia still on at that point. The most important movement to-day was the ordering of Company F of the State militia from Woodland to Dunsmulr, on tho Oregon branch. The strikers at Dunsmuir are said to threaten trouble. Company H, at Grass Valley, has also been ordered out. Five companies of the Fifth Regiment, which is in service at Oakland, have Wen released and allowed to return to their homes.

CLEVELAND, O., July 23. As a result of Investigation by labor unions it is developed that of the large number of railway men employed on the various roads who went out on strike In this city in the general tie-up nil but thirty have been reinstated. The railroad companies have been gradually discharging the nonunion men who came in during the strike until now there are very few of them In the service. Potters Ilewnme Work. EAST LIVERPOOL, O..

The striking railroad employes met last night and formally declared the strike off. A Gentle Confederate Kick. Charleston News and Courier. Why should the South be everlastingly protesting its "loyalty to the Union?" No other section of the country does so, and we have been back in the Nation for thirty years. And why should Oca la. Fla.. or Jonesvjlle. S. C. organize volunteer companies to proceed to Illinois to put down the strike? How many Northern communities offered to send soldiers t Tennessee last year to suppress the "rebellion", in that State. Why Is it necessary that we should always be trying to exploit our military prowess? Is It fo doubtful that we are "loyal to the oil flag" that we must tHke the oath of allegiance every time the band wason passes or whenever any of the people who whipped us thirty years aco show that t i- are restive under the condition of things which their valor has produced? Doubtless many ex-confederati soldier .oui.J take u; arms to support the national government If their services were needed, but It would be more dignified anl impressive, we think, for them to wait until their services are requested. ot Dangerouw.
