PROTECTION CLAIM HELD. Defense Pleads That Mobbing Was Protect Victim"Bandits" Iden tified By Meints Do Tar and Feathering. to Mankato, Minn.An amazing charge to the jury by United States district judge Wilbur F. Booth probably caused John Meints to lose his damage case here against 32 alleged mobbers. Meints *vas taken from his home near Luverne, Minn., on Aucust 19, 1918, tarred and feathered, and then deported across the state line. Judge Booth accepted the de fendant's absured plea that they Intended to protect Meints, and also emphasized the claim that Meints went willingly although It was obvious that one man could not offer physical resistance and although Meints' son was injured and his wife mistreated in the affair. The case will be appealed to a higher court. On the alleged er rors in the charge and in de cisions on testimony. The mob violence against Meints was the culmination of an attempt to outlaw the Nonpartisan league in Rock county. Farmers were unlaw fully ordered to sign statements re nouncing the league and several who stood for their rights were deported across the Iowa line. Meints was not an active farmer and consequently not a league jnember, but he had an tagonized the county ring by sub scribing $50 to a farmer owned paper at the county seat. Mob "Protection." A mob of ubout 100 traced Meints to his son's farm and seized him there. At the trial some of the participants alleged that they did this to protect Meints but the plaintiff proved that none of them had notified the lawful authorities of this mythical danger. BoTore the mob "guarding" Meints reached the Dakota lino, it was met by "bandits'' who held up the party and took Meints away. He was tarred and feathered and beaten with a rope by the "bandits." In his own testimony" Meints identi fied five prominent citizens of Luverne as comprising the bandit party among them local minister. Politicians Active. During the following months many indications showed that politicians of the Twin Cities were' actively con cerned in protecting the illegal, brutal acts of the Rock county ring. No serious effect was made by the state to punish the guilty, and federal ac tion was mysteriously delayed. The indications were further substantiated when Pierce Butler, notoriously the legal man Friday of the special inter ests of the Twin Cities, appeared as chief counsel for the alleged mobbers. Butler, a past master a.% legal trick ery and soft speaking, was allowed to make frequent "patrtotic" speeches the object of which was to make mob violence appenr as excess patriotism. Testimony at the court showed that the Meints family came from Schles wlg-Holstein, the Danish province taken from Denmark by Germany in 1866, that this was in large part the cause of the family's removal to this country, and that Meints had per sonally favored our declaration-war. He had been a generous buyer of Liberty bonds and contributor to the Red Cross. The mobbers, therefore, had no other motive than the political oue of maintaining machine rule in Minnesota. The jury was out only two hours. The only question tho 12 men had to decide under Judge *iooth'a instruc tions was tho identity of the four men who had tarred and feathered Meints. Ihlan, Connell, Leas and Bedford de nied participation in the outrage. It was their word against that of Meints* a "preponderance of evidence." They offered alibis to prove they were somewhere* else when the out rage on Meiuts was committed, In addition, the wealthy do fondants found two menNels Hawkinson and Albert Olsonwho testified under oath that they had seen Meints on the train to Sioux Falls the morning of August 20 and that Meints showed no evidence of having been tarred and feathered. The testimony of Hawkin son and Olson was counted on to dis prove the testimony of the Sioux Falls barber, who toW of Meints' condition when Meints came into the barber shop immediately after stepping off the train.

NORMAL OUTPUT RESULTS, Federal Injunction Does Not Dig Coal Some Operators Try to Keep Mines idle with Court Ac tion Against Governor. Bismark, N. D. Thanks to the prompt action of governor Frazier in providing state operation of mines, North Dakota has been able to produce coal. The danger of lignite' shortage is over and local shortage of other soft coal may be supplied by the local pro duct. Wyoming is the only other state which can show normal produc tion since the federal goverrmerft issued its injunction. And its out put is of little importance. Kansas and Ohio have followed the lead of North Dakota In tak ing over mines and the governor of Iowa has taken some steps in the same direction. Attempt of some North Dakota mine operators to keep their mines idle through use of the courts is not likely to succeed. In the mean time the federal gov ernment which finJs that Injunc tions do not dig coal, is being forced rapidly towards national ization of mines. Already, the movement of freight has been held up.to an alarming ex I tent. Many great industries are likely i to have to close, throwing millions of employees out of work and further curtailing our general under-produc tion. The life of'the nation must soon become impossible unless the govern ment takes over the mines and opens them for use or unless the operators speedily make offers satisfactory to the employees, Few Miners Return. I Very few of the striking miners re turned when their leaders called off the strike in response to the threat from the department of justice. The 400,000 on strike at first were joined by more from the non-union mines. This leaderless mass action of the plain workers is unassailable proof that they have just grievances which have been ignored by the govern ment. They have complained that while the government relieved the mine of all restraints in regard to price and output they have been kept at wages which now amount to starvation con i ditions and that the number of days' I -work per week has become smaller than before. A War-Made Trust. The general facts of the coal situa tion appear to show that powerful financial interests 'have been manouv ering for a shortage of coal to force I up the price. Our supplies were short when the strike started and the work ers had suffered from this hold-un during the summer and early fall- No attempt had been made to deny the shortage. It has been blamed on the railroads and other factors. It Is rea sonable to suppose, therefore, that the strike merely hastened the shortage which we would rave had any way due to manipulations, for higher profits. During the war the government brought all the soft coal mine owners and operators together in an all In clusive trust. It dealt with them as a': unit. The advantages of this close knit organization were obvious and I the operators have been using it to I promote the profits of peace, i The country is helpless before such a trust and1 must sooner or later fol low the lead of Governor Frazier or consent to be bled to death. The present action.taken by North Dakota is regarded as temporary. The mines taken over will be returned to their owners when the immediate crisis appears to he at an end. But the present experience will undoubted ly hasten the state's long declared purpose of extensive mines -on the publiopening domain A Labor Party Victory.

James Scott by flame, traveled about on business un til he was nearly eighty years of age. He became celebrated for his punctu ality and methodical habits. Upon one occasion a gentleman stopped at an inn much frequented by Mr. Scott and saw a fine fowl cooking. "That looks very good," said the hungry guest "You may serve that for my dinner." "You cannot have that, sir," replied the landlord. "That is being cooked for Mr. Scott the traveler." "I know Mr. Scott" very well," said the gentleman. "Is he stopping here?"
