due TO that agent of human ills.
Yesterday Edward hired bicycle from
Palmer & Co, on Tenth street, between ID
and + streets north west. 1t was hand
some safety bicycle with pneumatic tires,
aud glittering handle bars, and next TO
riding on balloon, Edward thought II the
easiest method of locomOtiOn eXtant. he
decided to make a little run TO Baltimore,
and started out Progressing beautiful
ly. he got almost to Laurel, when he rode
into a cuIyert, a little over thirty feet
deep, filled to a depth of couple of
feet with mud and water.
a farmer who happened to be passing
heard his distressful cries for aid, and
fished him out of his ugly predicament,
and after scraping himself Edward con-
tnued on to Laurel, where, becoming dis
gusted with wheeling he offered to sell
the machine for $40.
Unable to get a bidder at this price
he lowered it to S. and then the sheriff
got suspicious and held him while he
telegraphed to police headquarters IN
this city Detective Boardnan went out
and Edward admitted that he had hired
the wheel here Both wheel and rider,
the latter very much battered UP, were
brought back to this city. and Edward

GOOD MOVEMENT INAUGURATED.

a movement that should bring good re-
suits Unless working people ca n use

the growing tendency or corporations TO

The Debs Injunction, arrest, prosecution,
and conviction established a precedent
that must be set aside by act OF Congress,
or organized labor can exert no influence
in self-Gcfense.
Congress will be called on to fix the
status of organized labor, TO decide if au
organized body is eutitled to the rights Of
an individual; in other wordswhether ornot
a strike peacefully conducted by order Of
legally constituted labor leaders is a
violation of the antitrust law as was held
by Judge Woods. Ii is conceded that au
individual has the right TO quit his en-
ployment, but that right under the Debs
decision is denied an organized body
Railroads combine TO act as public carriers,
to establish wages and hire and dismiss
employees, and it would seem that working
people should b. permitted TO oOrganize ndto
exert the influence OF organization against
such encroaching corporate power.
II is believed by those familiar with the
workings of Congress that the demand Of

Editor Times: 1 notice in the Evening

prive The Times of the credit of proposing

Bureau, and that he eulogiZes the Star for

that they will not try to Bide-track the
