Chief Devery made charges yesterday under direction of the Polico Uoard, against Patrol men Frederick Schlainp and Aaron Hooper and they will be tried en Thursday. The trial will afford an unusual opportunity to the Mazet Committee, if it wishes to know the extent ot tho demoralization of the police force. Of such demoralization the doings of the notice on the "last tour" Is an unfailing sign. The last tour is between mldn'ght and II o'clack In the morning, whenlflras break out nnd cracksmen burgle. There have been many complaints that both hate hnd unhindered sway this win tor. Schlamp wis the policeman who wss sus pected ot being implicated In the Knnus mur dsr. It occurred on his poet.

It makes the basis of the charges. There ure four counts, and threti of them apply to Tollccraan Hooper's case. He was with Schlamp. Thotwoliadndjolningposts.

April 11, Upon tho application of tlm Wheeling Htroet Railway Company. Judgo Jackson In tho United States court to-day granted nn injunc tion ngalnst "John Bmltlf nnd others unknown " from obstructing or damaging tho cars nf tha plaintiffs. On Saturday last the motormen nnd conductors ot the street car company struck for higher wages, and tho bill of complaint alleges that tho defendants obstructed tho tracks, damaged tho cars nnd committed other nets of violence In tho pres enco ot the Chief of Police of Wheeling nnd his aids, who refused to protect the property.

Tho plaintiffs claim the protection of the United States court upon thelpleathat they ro carriers of mall nnd are engaged In inter state commerce. It was on those grounds the Injunction wns Issued. The Judge said that he wns dotermlned the movement of the malls should not be stopped nor Interstate commorco Interrupted, regard less for tho number of United States Deputy Marshals necessary to enforce his mandate.

Preildeiit Mitchell nf the Miners' Union an I.nhur Troubles nnd Krnietllei. Wasiiinoton. April 11. Tho principal wit ness before the Industilnl Commission to-day wns John Mitchell of Indianapolis. President of the United Mlno Workers of America. Ho snld that of tho 3fi8.(X)0 miners in the country 2(1 per cent . or 78.000. nro members of unions. All the miners' organizations aro located In twelve States-Pennsylvania. Ohio. Indinnn, Illinois, (which four States hato 75 per cent, of the whole number of union men). Kentucky. Teimossee. Iowa, Kansas, Arkansas, West Virginia. Michigan and Alabama and tho In dian Territory. Non-union members obey strike ordeis n readily ns the union men. nnd nrn Included in all contracts made by the miners' associations. Mr. Mitchell favored ar bitration in tho settlement of disputes, but not compulsory; public opinion was capable of enforcing tho awards. Bccauso of the fact that the capacity of the coal mines Is about one-third greater than tho consumption, miners cannot work alt the tlmo. and. ns u result, strikes causo them no real loss. In 18(17, when the miners were on striko Jlijhty.four days, thoy worked longer than In 1SIHI. when there was no strike. Mr. Mitchell discussed at some length tho use of the Injunction In labor troubles, and said it was the mostoffi-ctlTo weapon ovor used to In timidate worklngmen. ''Nothing has done more," continued Mr Mitchell, "to destroy the confidence of the worklngmen In tho judiciary pf the country than the injunction. Miners nre law abiding and patriotic and rospect tho courts, but since this prnctico of Issuing In junctions against thom has been inaugurated they have felt that tho courtK were against them. It Is common to hear men say now, 'The courts are against us and the troops will bo against us.' They feel that the Goternment. through its agents, is not noting Impartially between employer and employee. Tho courts should not antlolpate that bodies of American worklngmen nro going to commit crime." Asked as to the course of wages and prices. Mr. Mitchell said mine wnges went down steadily for fifteen years until 1HSI7. when strikes secured some increases. The cost of living, he thought, had not decreased propor tionately to wages He advocated the eight hour law to give workmen an opportunity for Personal cultivation, and to give employment tu moil now Idle. "Congress.'Mie said, "should pass a law wheroby the Oovornmont could purchase nothing not manufactured under the eight-hour law. Tho influeuce of such a law would be far reaching, and would eventually extend tho eight-hour rulo to every Industry." CAX'T EXJOIX STRIKES? Another Decision of the Run re me Court In Llue with Justice Kellogg's. The motion of the City Carpenters' Associa tion to enjoin the United Brotherhood of Car penters, tho Building Ttades Council and others from ordering strikes to elTeet the dis charge of the plaintiffs and the eniD!oymeut:of tholrown members on buildings fn this city has been denied by Justice Giegcrloh of the Buprome Court. Tho decision is on a line with the decision of the Appellate Division of tho Suprome Court in Davis vs. the United En gineers, the opinion being written by Justice ratterson. and with the decision of Justice Kellogg made last month on tho second trial of the same case. The contention of Charles M Beattie, attorney for the defendants, that men hate the right to null work whether or not they assign as a reason that they do so be cause they will not work with men not mem bers of their owu association, is uphold by Jus tice Gleeench. strikes against the plaintiffs by the de fendants were ordered on the William 0. Whit ney mansion, the Morton building, the Madl. son Suuare Gnrdou, the Chesebrough and Tide Water bulldlngi and the Injunction pro ceedings followed It was shown that the plaintiffs on other bulldings.had used the eamo tactics against tho defendants, but the deci slou passes overtthls matter and squarely de cides ns to the right touultwork. Justice Glevrsrlch ouotos Justioe Patterson as follows and oolncides with him. ' There can lie no doubt that members of trades unions as well as other individuals hat a right to say that they will not work with per sons vt ho do not belong to their organization : nnd whether they say It themselves or through their organised socletiss can make no differ ence. They have the right by that method to secure employment for their oivn members." Sir Monler Monler-TTilllnnis Dead. Special CabU Dnpatch to Thk Sun. Cannks, April 11. Sir Monler Monler-Wll- llams.
