NOW FORBUSINESS

CONGRESS WILL BEGIN WORK IN

REAL EARNEST.

ILL WINDS TO THE PLOW

House Calendar Well Filled, WithCanal Zone Government Case

First to Come Up.

Washington. Congress will beginbusiness in earnest this week. Withthe Christmas holidays behind .themand with the preliminary ante-holida- y

plans completed, both houses willstarts In upon reconvening, with theintention of keeping their hands tothe plow, to continue until "the cropIs laid by," which it is now believedwill take place in the early summer.The senate is not so forward with itswork as is the house, and the formerbody may experience - dlflcnlty. 'infinding something, to do during thefirst few days of its sitting. But thehouse calendar is already well filled,and as soon as the formalities per-

mit, that body , will get down toserious business. Both houses will re-

convene at 12 o'clock Tuesday, butthe immediate' announcement of therecent death of Senator McLaurin ofMississippi will result in adjourn-ment of botlTfor the day out of re-

spect to his memory. It is doubtfulalso whether there will be a quorumon the first meeting day, so that butlittle business would probably betransacted underany circumstances.

Wednesday will be canlendar dayin the house and that body again willtake up the Mann bill for the reor-ganization of the government of "thePanama canal zone." It is believedthis measure will be disposed of inone day and with it out of the waythe iouse will attack the appropria-tion bills.

The army supply bill is already onthe calendar and by the time it ispassed the fortifications will be readyfor consideration. Following the for-

tifications measure will, come theurgent deficiency, the agricultural andthe navy bills. Even the sundry civiland the legislative bills are wellblocked out in committee. Indeed ap-

propriation legislation is further ad-

vanced in the house than ordinarilyat this season, and it is the opinionof the experts that the supply billswill be so turned out by the commit-tee as to render it possible for thehouse to, give almost continuous at-

tention to them during the next twomonths.

The senate committee on appropria-tions will begin soon, the considera-tion of the bill making appropriationsfor the District of Columbia, whichalready has passed the house and un-

til it is reported, the senate will oc-

cupy its time with the considerationof comparatively unimportant meas-ures on the calendar. The state com-mittees have not been so assiduous intheir attention to duty as have beenthe committees of thebody, with the consequence that thesenate calendar is completely barren.

Much interest is manifested in bothhouses in the two announcementsthat president's message on the Sher-man anti-tru- st law and the resolu-tions of Senator Jones and Represent-ative Humphrey providing for an in-

vestigation of the Interior depart-ment and the forest service will bepresented on Wednesday, the firstlegislative day after reconvening.

New Supreme Justice.Washington. Judge Horace H. Lur-to-n,

who will be sworn in as an as-

sociate justice of the supreme courtat noon Monday, arrived in Washing-ton Saturday. With him were Mrs.Lurton, their son, Horace H.Lurton,Jr., his wife and their son,Horace H. Lurton, third.

Three Big Christmas GiftsFort Worth, Tex. Thomas Wag-

goner of this city has given each ofhis three children property valued at$2,000,000 as Christmas gifts. Wag-goner is 57 years old, a ranchman,banker and capitalist. One nundredthousand acres of land, 30,000 head ofcattle and 1,000 horses are given toeach child.

ON TO THE PRISON.

Convicted Banker Leaves New Yorkfor Atlanta.

New York. With a supreme effortto be cheerful, but with emotion oc-

casionally getting the better of him,Charles W. Morse left New York tobegin serving a fifteen years' sentencein the federal prison at Atlanta, Ga.,imposed upon him for violation of thenational banking laws. Before leav-ing the Tombs, where he had beenconfined for the greater part of thelast year, Morse received his wife and'wo sons and then the newspaper men.He was too affected to say anything,but he handed out a carefully pre-pared statement of comment on hiscase.

,Hope for Peace Dwindles.Bluefields. Hope that the war will

be brought to an end through therecognition of the provisional govern-ment by the United States has beenabandoned. Many believe that twomore battles must be fonght, one inthe state of Chokales and the othernear Managua. There is a popularfeeling of gratitude toward the UnitedStates because of the attention giventhe wounded by physicians from thecruisers and Ihe supplies sent for therelief of the half-starve-d prisoners ofwar.

Aid Anti-Tru- st League.Washington. More than two score

members of congress and their wivesmet to discuss the proposed nationalanti-tru- st league, through the agencyof which it is hoped to prevent theinfliction of high prices of food onthe American public. The meetingwas held behind closed doors, but itwas said tentative plans were dis-cussed for the recruiting of 1,000,000families to obey the orders of thecentral committee tor refuse to buythose commodities on which the pricehas seen increased.

L.euer in the Rivet Keg.There, nave been romances and ro-

mances, but the latest undoubtedly 4sthe romance of a keg of steei rivets.The outcome of this is being eagerlywaited by 160 menemployed at the

plant of an iron company at Con-hohocke- n.

The keg arrived at the plant yester-fa- y.

When the head was off theworkman was surprisedto see ontop of the commonplace rivets ah eifvelope addressed In a pretty, girlishhand, "To the one who opens thiskeg."

The Ironworker called a comrade ortwo and they opened the note andread, written on a dainty bit of pa-per, a few sentences which asked theUnder to communicate with the writer.A girl's name was signed at the bot-tom, above an address in a Massachu-setts towa.

The finder of the note told othersabout it and they la tun spread thesews until nearly "every oae at theplant heard it One hundred and fiftymen wrote to the fair correspondentlast night, some sending letters: andothers picture postcards. Philadel-phia Public Ledger. '

Increased Price of Elk Teeth."During the last five years the value

sf elk teeth has more than trebled,"aid a western traveler at' the Fred-

eric, according to the St Paul Dis-patch. "In 1904 you could get any num-ber of fine specimens in Idaho, Mon-tana, Washington and bordering statesfor $2.50 apiece. Now you will payfrom $7.50 to $10, and they are hardto get for even that The Apache,Sioux, Comanche and Chippewa Indi-ans used to have' dozens of them Intheir possession and traded them fortrinkets. But the redskin got wise toIhelr value, and you can buy themSrom a regular dealer cheaper nowthan from the Indian. The passingit the elk and the great demand madey the members of the Elk lodge fort

teeth for emblems have boosted thejrlce.'

The traveler recited an incident ofin Oklahoman who bought a robe cov-ire-d

with elk teeth from a WichitaIndian for $100. He cut off the teethind cleaned up $2,200 on the deal.

.tfc..yG.- t

Some people swell up on "emotion"brewed from absolute untruth.

It's an old trick of the leaders of theLabor Trust to twist facts and makethe "sympathetic ones" "weep at theice house." (That's part of the talefurther on.)

Gompers et al sneer at, spit uponand defy our courts, seeking sympathyby falsely telling the people the courtswere trying to deprive them of freespeech and free press.

Men can speak freely and print opin-ions freely in this country and nocourt will object, but they cannot beallowed to print matter 'as part of acriminal conspiracy to injure and ruinother citizens. '

Gompers and his trust associatesstarted out to ruin the Bucks StoveCo., drive its hundreds of workmenout of work and destroy the value ofthe plant without regard to the factthat hard earned money of men whoworked, had been invested there.

The conspirators were told by thecourts to stop these vicious "trust"methods, (efforts to break the firmthat won't come under trust rule), butinstead of stopping they "dare" thecourts to punish them and demandnew laws to protect them in such de-

structive and tyrannical acts as theymay desire to do. The reasonGompers and his band persisted in try-ing to ruin the Bucks Stove Workswas because the stove company insist-ed on the right to keep some old em-ployees at work when "de union" or-

dered them discharged and some of"de gang" put on.

Now let us reverse the conditionsand have a look.

Suppqse the, company had orderedthe union to dismiss certain men fromtheir union, and, the demand being re-fused, should institute a boycottagainst thsft union, publish Its namein an "unfair list," instruct other man-ufacturers all over the United Statesnot to buy the labor of that union,have committees call at stores andthreaten to boycott if the merchantssold anything made by that union.Picket the factories where memberswork and slug them on the way home,blow up their houses and wreck theworks, and even murder a few mem-bers of the boycotted union to teachtuem they must obey the orders of"organized Capital?"

It would certainly be fair for thecompany to do these things if lawfulfor the Labor Trust to do them.

In such a case, under our laws theboycotted union could apply to ourcourts and the courts would orderthe company to cease boycotting andtrying to ruin these union men. Sup-pose thereupon the company shouldsneer at the court and in open defiancecontinue the unlawful acts in a per-sistent carefully laid out plan, purposely intended to ruin the unionand force its -- members into povertyWhat a howl would go up from theunion demanding that the courts pro-tect them and punish their law-breaki-

oppressors. Then they wouldpraise the courts and go on earning aliving protected from ruin and happyin the knowledge that the people'scourts could defend them.

How could any of us receive protec-tion from law-breake- rs unless the courtshave power to, and do punish suchmen?

The court is placed in position whereIt must do one thing or the otherpunish men who persist in defying itspeace orders or go out of service, letanarchy reign, and the more powerfuldestroy the weaker.

Peaceful citizens sustain the courtsas their defenders, whereas thieves,forgers, burglars, crooks of all kindsand violent members of labor unions,hate them and threaten violence iftheir members are punished for break-ing the law. They want the courts tolet them go free and at the same timedemand punishment for other men "out-side de union" when they break thelaw. Notice the above refer-ence to "violent" members of laborunions. The great majority of the"unheard" union men are peaceable.

while there were 94,123 billiard tablesin France in 1892, in 1906 there wereonly 89,230. whereas if the game wereholding its own the number shouldhave increased as the children grewto billiard playing age.

ppright citizens. The noisy, violentones get into office and the leaders ofthe great Labor Trust know how tomass this kind of men, in labor con-ventions and thus carry out the lead-ers' schemes, frequently abhorrent tothe rank and file: so it was at the lateToronto convention.

The paid delegates would applaudand "resolute" as Gompers wanted, butnow and then some of the real work-ingme- n

insist on being heard, some-times at the risk of their lives.

Delegate Egan is reported to havesaid at the Toronto convention:

"If the officers of the federationwould only adhere to the law we wouldthink a lot more of them."

The Grand Council of the ProvincialWorkingmen's Ass'n of Canada hasdeclared in favor of severing all con-nections with unions in the U. S., say-ing "any union having its seat ofGov't in America, and pretending to beinternational in its scope, must fightindustrial battles according to Ameri-can methods. Said methods have con-sequences which are abhorrent to thelaw-abidin- g people of Canada involvinghunger, misery, riot, bloodshed andmurder, all of which might be termedas a result of the practical war nowin progress in our fair provinces anddirected by foreign emissaries of theUnited Miners of America."

That is an honest Canadian view ofour infamous "Labor Trust"

A few days ago the daily papersprinted the following:

(By the Associated Press.))Washington, D. C, Nov. 10. Char-

acterizing the attitude of Samuel Gom-pers, John Mitchell and Frank Mor-rison of the American Federation ofLabor in the contempt proceedings inthe courts of the District of Columbia,in connection with the Bucks' Stoveand range company, as "a willful, pre-meditated violation of the law," SimonBurns, general master workman of thegeneral assembly. Knights of Labor,has voiced a severe condemnation ofthese three leaders. Mr. Burns ex-pressed his confidence in courts in gen-eral and in those of the District ofColumbia in particular.

APPROVED BT DELEGATES.This rebuke by Burns was in his an-

nual report to the general assembly ofhis organization. He received thehearty approval of the delegates whoheard it read at their annual meetingin this city.

"There is no trust or combination ofcapital in the world." said Mr. Burns,"that violates laws oftener than do thetrust labor organizations, which resortto more dishonest, unfair and dishon-orable methods toward their competi-tors than any trust or combinations inthe country."

Mr. Burns said the action of "these1so-call- leaders" would be harmfulfor years to come whenever attemptswere made to obtain labor legislation.

"The Labor Digest," a reputableworkingman's paper, says, as part ofan article entitled "The beginning ofthe end of Gompersism, many organ-izations becoming tired of the rule-or-rui- n

policies which have been en-

forced by the president of the A.F. of L."

"That he has maintained his leader-ship for so long a time in the face ofhis stubborn clinging to policies whichthe more thoughtful workingmen haveseen for years must be abandoned, hasbeen on account partly of the senti-mental feeling on the part of the or-ganizations that he ought not to be de-posed, and the unwillingness of themen who were mentioned for the place,to accept a nomination in opposition tohim. In addition to this, there is nodenying the shrewdness of the leaderof the A. F. of L., and his political sa-gacity, which has enabled him to keepa firm grip on the machinery of the or-ganization, and to have his faithfulhenchmen in the positions where theycould do him the most good whenevertheir services might be needed.

"Further than this, he has neverfailed, at the last conventions, to havesome sensation to spring on the convention at the psychological moment,which would place him in the light ofa martyr to the cause of unionism, and

"That his long leadership, and thisapparent impossibility to fill his placehas gone to his head,, and made himimagine that he is much greater a manthan he really is, is undoubtedly thecase, and accounts for the tactics hehas adopted in dealing with questionsbefore congress, where he has unneces-sarily antagonized men to whom or-ganized labor must look for recognit-ion,' of their demands, and where labormeasures are often opposed on accountof this very antagonism, which wouldotherwise receive support.

"There is no doubt but what organized labor in this country would bemuch stronger with a leader who wasmore in touch with conditions as theyactually exist, and who would bring tothe front the new policies which organ-ized labor must adopt if it expects toeven maintain its present standing, tosay nothing of making future progress."

We quote portions of another article,a reprint, from the same labor paper:

"Organized labor, through its lead-ers, must recognize the mistakes of thepast if they expect to perpetuate theirorganizations or to develop the move-ment

I

which they head. No movement,no organization, no nation can develop ibeyond the intellects which guidethese organizations, and if the leadersare dominated by a selfish motive theorganization will become tineed witha spirit of selfishness, which has never 2

appealed to mankind in any walk of Jlife at any time since history began.

"It can be said In extenuation of cer- - jtain leaders of organized labor that itne precarious position which they oc-- 1

cupy as leaders has had a tendency tocause them to lose sight of the objectbehind the organization. The naturalinstinct in man for power and positionis in no small measure responsible forthe mistakes of the leaders, not neces-sarily in labor unions alone, but inevery branch of society. This desirefor power and leadership and personalaggrandizement causes men who havobeen earnest and sincere in their ef-forts in the start to deteriorate Intomere politicians whose every act andutterance is tinged with the desireto cater to the baser passions of theworking majority in the societies ororganizations and this is undoubtedly-tru-

when applied to tne present lead-ers of the Federation of Labor. Wemention the Federation of Labor par-ticularly In this article, because thatorganization is the only organizationof labor which has yet found itself indirect opposition to the laws of theland. There are other organizations oflabor whose leaders have made mis-takes, but they have always kept them-selves and their organizations withinthe bounds of the law and respectedthe rights of every other man In con-sidering the rights of themselves andtheir constituency; whereas, the mottoof the Federation is just the reverse,and unless the leaders conform them-selves and their organization in accord-ance with the laws of the land, theleaders and the organization itselfmust be disintegrated and pass intohistory, for in America the commonsense of mankind is developed to agreater extent than in any other nationon the earth, and the people, who arethe court of last resort in this country,will never allow any system to developin this country which does not meetwith the approval of the majority ofthe citizens of the country.

"This must have forced Itself uponthe leaders of the Federation by thistime. If it has not. the leaders mustbe eliminated. The organization whichthey head has done many meritoriousthings in times past and the people arealways ready and willing to acknowl-edge the benefits which their effortshave brought to their constituency asa whole, but at the present time labororganizations in general, and the Fed-eration of Labor in particular, standbefore the bar of public opinion, hav-ing been convicted of selfishness and adisposition to rule all the people ofthe country In the interest of the few.The people are patientand awaiting to

Mistakes Will Happen.Lady (to her sister, a doctor)

There I cooked a meal for the firsttime to-da- y and I made a mess of it

"Well., dear, never 'mind; it's noth-ing. I lost my first patient"

Ifa you see a fault In others, thinkof two of your own. and do not add athird oae bv rnnr hasty judgment

see if the object lesson which theyhave been forced to give to these lead-ers Is going to be recognized and if theyare going to conform themselves andtheir future work and actions in ac-cordance thereto."

Let the people remember that com-ment, "The Federation of Labor in par-ticular stands before the bar of publicopinion having been convicted of sef-Bshne- ss

and a disposition to rule allthe people of the country in the inter-est of the few."

The great 90 per cent of Americansdo not take kindly to the acts oftyranny of these trust leaders openlydemanding that all people bow down tothe rules of the Labor Trust and weare treated to the humiliating specta-cle of our Congress and even the ChiefExecutive entertaining these convictedlaw-breake- rs and listening with consid-eration to their insolent demands thatthe very laws be changed to allowthem to safely carry on their plan ofgaining control over the affairs of thepeople.

The sturdy workers of America havecome to know the truth about these'martyrs sacrificing themselves in thenoble cause of labor" but It's only thehysterical ones who swell up and cryjQver the aforesaid "heroes," remindingone or tne two romantic elderly maidswho, weeping copiously, were discovered by the old janitor at ML Vernon.

"What is it ails you ladies?"Taking the handkerchief from one

swollen red eye, between sobs she said:Why we have so long revered the

memory of George Washington thatwe feel it a privilege to come here andweep at his tomb."

"Yas'm, yas'm, yo' shore has a desireto express yo sympathy but yo areoverflowin' at de wrong spot, yo Isweepin at de ice house."

Dcn't get maudlin about law-breake- rs

who must be punished if the veryexistence of our people is to be main-tained.

If you have any surplus sympathy Itcan be extended to the honest workerswho continue to earn food when threat-ened and are frequently hurt andsometimes killed before the courts canintervene to protect them.

Now the Labor Trust leaders de-mand of Congress that the courts bestripped of power to issue injunctionsto prevent them from assaulting or per-haps murdering men who dare earna living when ordered by the LaborTrust to quit work.

Don't "weep at the Ice House" anddon't permit any set of law-breake- rs

to bully our courts, if your voice andvote can prevent. Be sure and writeyour Representatives and Senators inCongress asking them not to vote forany measure to prevent the courtsfrom protecting homes, property andpersons from attack by paid agents ofthis great Labor Trust.

Let every reader write, and writnow.

Don't sit silent and allow the organ-ized and paid men of this great trustto force Congress to believe they rep-resent the great masses of the Amer-ican people. Say your say and letyour representatives in Congress knowthat you do not want to be governedunder new laws which would empowerthe Labor Trust leaders with legalright to tell you when to work. Where!For whom! At what price! What tobuy! What not to buy! Whom tovote for! How much you shall payper month In fees to the Labor Trust!etc., etc., etc.

This power Is now being demandedby the passage of laws in Congress.Tell your Senators and Representa-tives plainly that you don't want therato vote for any measure that will allowany set of men either representingCapital or Labor to govern and dic-

tate to the common people, who preferto be free to go and come, work ornot ,and vote for whom they please.

Every man'3 liberty will disappearwhen the leaders of the great LaborTrust or any other trust can ride roughshod over people and mass their forcesto prevent our courts from affordingprotection.
