CAMPBELL-BANNERMAN SELECTS HIS CABINET Strong Ministry Formed by the New Premier HURT WHILE WORKING AS DAY LABORER Brother of Railroad Magnate Crushed by Engine. Sr^cJsJ Dlsc«.tch to The Csil. » DENVER. Dec, 10.— Too proud to accept %. position" on the Santa Fe Railroad, where his brother. A- E. Kenna, is first vice president, John Kenna was seriously hurt at Burnham yesterday while work- Ing with a section gang on the Denver &nd Rio Grande. When removed to St. Joseph's Hospital an examination of his terribly crushed left foot and leg led the , eurgeons to believe that the accident, be- ; cause of his age, M years, will result fatally. For several months Kenna has been as cistant foreman of a section crew > work ing on the Denver and Rio Grande Rail road near Burnham. He attempted to cross the tracks in front of a switch en- Cine yesterday, but was run down,* and his left foot and leg were crushed be neath the wheels. Kenna came to Colorado several • years a«o from Holyoke, Mass., the family home, and engaged in mining. He was well-to-do, but lost his fortune, and since then has been working as a day laborer. He is sale* to have declined all offers of help from wealthy and Influential mem bers of his family and to have started at the bottom of railroad work, hoping to recover his lest social position through \u25a0 his own efforts.

The San Francisco Call. DARK OUTLOOK FOR BUILDING FOR NEXT YEAR Big Strike May Chepk the Industry in Many Cities. Special- Dispatch to Th£ Call NEW YORK. Dec. 10.— Real estate men and contractors are much worried over the present trouble In.' the building in dustry. These men have planned a pros perous building season for 1906. Trouble during the last month In the trade, how ever, has made them believe that unless the matter is speedily settled 'the coming year will be more disastrous than that of three years ago. Then building was tied up during the entire summer which involved a loss of $70,000,000 to employers and *30,000,000 in wages to workers. , The present trouble Is, due to the fact that twenty-five non-union men are em ployed by the Empire Company, which Is connected with the American Bridge Company at McKeesport, Pa. Because these men were, not discharged, members of the - International Bridge and Struc tural 'Iron Workers through their: presi dent, Frank M. Ryan,' ordered strikes throughout the county on every building in which the American Bridge Company was in any way interested. This failed to bring the : American Bridge Company •to terms, whereupon Ryan ordered strikes against all Post and McCord con tracts, claiming that they were connected with the American Bridge Company, and as a result every structural Iron worker quit, work, thus tying up more than thirty buildings in the course of con struction by Post and McCord, who deny any connection with the American Bridge Company. \ The strikers were ordered to return to work and lay. their grievances -before the board. ; but they declined to do so. * They, were then read out of s the: arbitration board ' and will . no longer be \u25a0 recognized by the employers as a 1a 1 union. Hereafter when they seek, employment they must do so tinder the "open shop", plan. A/general .strike; against -the Building' Trades Employers'" Association, would affect many cities. It would throw; 30,000 iron .workers out -of employment and in- ; directly more than 200,000 workers . . in other, trades. ?§&&!$&£& Death's Roster on Great Lakes.

ST. PETERSBURG. Saturday evening. Dec. 9.— Another criste is at hand, in volving the Indefinite prolongation vt the strike, the probable immediate pre cipitation of a general strike throughout Russia, and a possible final struggle be tween the Government and the prole tariat. This sudden change fof the worse is the result of the shedding of the first blooU in the telegraph strike this afternoon, al most simultaneously with the action of Durno-vo, Minister of the Interior, in throwing down the gauntlet to the labor organizations by arresting Krustaleff. president of the executive committee of the Workmen's Council, without warn- About 2 o'clock several comoanies of Cossacks clattered through the streets leading to the beadauarters of the Coun cil, in Largo via street. Having barred the approaches.' a force of troops and polieu surrounded the building, after.. which se- I cret service listen rushed in and seised i Krustaleff. The latter made no resist ance and the affair was conducted quick ly. It was impossible for Krustaleff to I conceal the papers of the organization. in which the police evidently expected to find evidence proving the ultimate ob ject to be an armed rising against the Government. TWO STRIKERS KILLED. A disturbance in which two strikers were killed and a policeman and several others wounded occurred at the same hour. Immediately in front of the general postofflce. The strikers for two days have been seeking to persuade the volunteer and regular » carriers ,to refuse to work. At the door of the building to-day, tha strikers, enraged by the refusal of the volunteers to quit, drew knives, where upon a carrier attempted to defend him self with a revolver. Both the carrier and a companion were killed on the spot. A squad of policemen was stood off by the strikers and workmen who sympa thized with them. Both sides exchanged a fierce -fusillade, during which a po • Hceraan and several workmen were wounded. As,. the strikers were withdrawing, a Cossack patrol came* galloping to the rescue. One of the strikers turned and threw an Imitation bomb and the Cos | sacks wheeled, in order to avoid what they presumed to be a deadly missile. 1 The crowd managed to get into an open • courtway.' close to the door and escaped. GENERAL STRIKE PROBABLE. i The news of the t arrest of Krustaleff ! caused a tremendous sensation among the workmen. All the Socialist, labor and kindred organizations held a meet ing to-night, % at which inflammatory speeches are, being made in denunciation of the . Government, and all urged : a gen eral strike In' order to save their leader.' Krustaleff,' as he is called, though that Is not his name. Is regarded as the brain* of .the revolutionary ..movement. He has displayed 'genius -, in organizing both the Industrial and the political strikes which have terrorized the Government.- His offer of financial \u25a0 support to the telegra phers 'yesterday prevented~a collapse, of their strike. . In some quarters it i 3 believed that the Government, realizing: that a ; srreat atruffslo* with the workmen and the Socialist "organizations Is inevitable. ln Costlnocd On Page 2, Colunaa i. _j
