Weltnck, .r)15l Wlssnhicken avenue, nt
1 o'clock this morning nnd after going
through his pocket hit him ever the

They nre believed te be members of
the same gang who committed two ether
held-ups. At Hunting Park avenue nnd

32.11 Kon-mten avenue", while he was
watting for n trolley cnr. Leuis Solo Selo Sole

Eleventh nnd Wyoming avenue.
A city-wide hunt was immediately
started. Police are of the opinion they
are membern of a gang of corner loung
ers who stele the nuto'iiebllc last night'
and set out te be highwaymen.
Welt nek was walking along Hnns
berry street, near Newhall, en his way
home when he first heard the machine
coming up behind hint. Before he hnd
a chance te leek nreund two of the bnn
dits leaped from the car and pinned him
te the ground. One of the youths wns
se nereui, according te Weltnck, he
dropped the geld watch he had taken
from his victim.
Then In a search of his pockets the
held-up men overlooked n wallet con
taining $300 and took a 5 bill from
V.i trousers pocket.
As they were about te run back te
the waiting nutomebllo, ene of the ban
dits drew a. pair of brass knuckles and
struck Weltnek ever the head. He was
dazed for several minutes, but tele
phoned te the police of the Germantown
station.
The jeuths are then believed te have
turned their mnchlnii around nnd driven
through the northern section of the city
looking for mere victims. Their qfiest
was unbiiccesful until they spotted
Kenncy standing en the corner of
Hunting Park avenue and Yerk read.
. "I wns dozing against the lamp
post," Kenney told police, "when I
heard the meter of an automobile and
thinking It might be my trolley car I
stepped into the street.
"Then I saw the machine step sev
eral feet away and immediately sus
pecting bandits, l started te walk in
the opposite direction, but was Mopped
before I had gene far. A jeung fellow
without u coat stuck a revolver Inte
my back and commanded me te throw threw

"At the Hiune tlnie another ene ran

pin ftem my tie nnd a linger ring valued
at $.10, and when he lenrned that I
had nothing but a dollar bill in cash
lie cursed me and told me te have mere
money the next time,"
Solemon walked into the Detective
Bureau In City Hall this morning nnd
told Lieutenant ("0031111 that he li.nl
been held up nt Eleventh street and
Wyoming nvenue. His description of
the robbers tallies with that given by
Weltnek. The men took $1.80 in ens-h
and a geld watch and chain valued

B. M. Jewell, head of the shop crafts,
who held himself open te approach by
any responsible perser. authorized te
negotlnte a settlement," declined te
make the first move, preferring rather
te place the blnme for u continuance of
the strike upon the labor beard and the

Mr. Jewell declared 'that the olive

The railroads remained Immovable In
their nttltude of considering the strike

against the reads.
The result of this situation wn that
nil elements were in receptive moods,

first move.
Storm clouds of the strlke in their

PUBLIC PAYS ALL THE BILLS
Independent Producers Allowed

Monopoly Charge
By GEORGE NOX McCAIN "
"Is net the present coal situation,
particularly anthracite, a set-up Jeb
between the operators and the miners
te keep up the price of coal te the
public?"
I have heard this question asked a
dozen times by as many different people
within a dozen days.
It Is the expression of an Idea lurking
in the back part of the skull of tens of
thousands of people; otherwise the
gullible public, known ns the domestic
consumer.
When asked why such thought should
be entertained the Invariable reply has
been semethln-r nfter this fashien:
"Loek at the situation. The mlnern
nrc all idle in the anthracite region, hut
there Is no strike. The mine workers'
officials hnve net declared a strike.
They call it a suspension of work.
"Anether thing, all of the meeting!
nnd conferences between operators and
miners nre behind closed doers In New
Yerk, or Washington. The public rep
resented by the newspaper reporters la
invariably excluded.
Propaganda Sent Out
"Anether unusual feature," argues
the questioning individual, "is that
statements put out by the" m'nera en
one side nnd the statements put out by
the operators en the ether fall te agree.
A long rigmarole is linnded out by the
piessj agents, and there can be no doubt,
nfter reading it, that it Is the
veriest propaganda. A let of it is lies
nnd the rest is evasion and side
stepping. "The convincing feature of it all Is
that after n period of idleness miners
and operators get together, ndiust their
differences and the mines reopen. Then
tlie price of cenl invariably advance.
"Nnbedv ever snw tne price reduced
after one of these industrial or inpl-
i till 1st lc cyclones.
I "The peer, dumb, sheep-like public,
and I'm one of them." reinnrked th
I particular individual I hnve In mind,
"aicepts the verdict, pays the increased
pi ice and gees en his wa rejoicing If
he can be sure he's going te have enough
f.iel te operate his furnace nnd keep the
water pipes from freezing."
Idea Is Erroneous
Tt is an eirnneeus idea, this one of
collusion. It is tee serious a proposi preposi
tion. The coal situation is the result
of greed nnd selfishness und a tendency
of gieat linanclal inteie-ts te grasp and
I held ever. thing In sight nt any cost.
I Yet there are two sides te the ques
tion. That there is n let of propaganda
I nut out by both sides Is Self-evident.
The miner's demand certain concessions
I In the wn of wages: the opemters de-
i clli.i te concede them. Frem this point
1 en there Is u constant effort of each
1 te belittle the ether.
! That Is platitudinous, I knew, but
it I- true
One of the inen illuminating side
lights en eitlnj conditions In the
coal Industry, the anthracite particu
late, 'is te read careful! v the state
ments tlutt hnve been put forth by both
niliieis and operators since the trouble
began
; Public is Krluded
The public, the interested third
puit.v, is never admitted te their con-
1 flll,'S.
Te rend the charges made against
civil ether, the consumer would, off-
hand, decide tlmt some one was
swiinis! mistaken, or a prodigious
amount of l.!ug was being done by
both sides
i (in y a geiieial outline is given here
at this time
