8T. LOUIS. Mo., Feb. 20 -The war of the ntizens on the Madison fill.) poolroom Is to be prosecuted with greater vigor than ever. The Business Men's League held two meetings to-day and to-night to decide on what steps should be taken to drive the poolroom and gamblers out of their mldet. At the morning meeting resolutions condemning the action of the police in defending and assisting the poolroom gamblers

and "provoking hostilities" were adopted.

To-night a secret meeting of the committee representing the Business Men's League was hold. After the meeting W. J. Goudy, one of the most prominent members of the committee, made the following statement which he asserted should be regarded as a public warning: "We now give fair warning to the gamblers who patronize the Madison poolroom that the next time the posse visits the poolroom it will go armed with riot guns and wlil shoot without a second's notice. The posse will not give the gamblers the same chance as was given on the occasion of the raid Friday, by warning them to dispense before opening fire. "This warning is given for the protection of the men who visit the poolroom in ignorSJSOS of the posse's iutention. "The next time the posse visits the poolroom the members will not enter the building until the shooting is all over." It has been decided to lay the entire matter before the grand jury. ACCEPT NO REDUCTION, IS MITCHELL'S ADVICE

Tells Miners to Form Closer Bonds of Unity with Their Employers May Resign. CHICAGO, Feb. 20. President John Mitchell, of the miners' national organization, speaking before the Illinois miners here to-day, advised them not to accept any reduction of wages. "The present condition of the coal market entitles the miners to expect a renewal of the old scale." said Mr. Mitchell, "and I for one will not consent to any change to the disadvantage of the worker. We must admit the wages are, of right, governed, to a certain degree, by the condition of the market, but there is nothing in the present state of affairs which would justify any attempt to lower the scale." In a general discussion of the labor problem, Mr. Mitchell advised the workers to rid thtir minds of the idea that the interests of the operators wero inimical to those of the wage earners. He said: "It is our duty as earnest and fair-minded workers to try to continue the fair relations of the present and to bend our efforts toward forming closer bonds of unity with those on whom we depend for our employment. If we could not strike and would not strike we would not now have peace. It is the fact that we can strike and will not strike except against unfair treatment that constitutes our power." Mr. Mitchell gave a veiled intimation that he may soon step out of his position at the head of the miners' organization. DICK SPEAKS TO HIS AKRON CONSTITUENTS
