M. E. STANFORD SPEAKS.
The superintendent of the Psrrott
Building Says the Strike Is
Unfair.

NJ. E. Stanford, the superintendent of
the Parrott building, as may be supposed,
is not pleased with the turn affairs have
taken. 1t was hoped to be able to open
the big compartment store within two or
three weeks, and the strike, be says, is
likely to interfere seriously with the ar.
rangements. The Emporium Company's
manager, Mr. Feist, IS no better pleased
Mr.. Stanford stated yesterday that there
were no union men at work in the big
structure. About $50 workmen had re-
fused to return to work. These were all
members of the unions affiliated with the
Building Trades Council He stated that
the entire building was not tied up, be-
cause about 200 men who did not belong
to any union are still at work. Besides
those employed by Kuss, the painter, and
Bruschke of the furniture company, against
whom the strike was made, there was
large force of laborers, ironworkers, elec-
trIcians, etc. The superintendent, in dis
cussing the situation, said:
1t is fact this strike will interfere greatly
with our arrangements. However, we will en-
deavor to get along the best we can and finish
the work as we are able. l think the men were
not justified in striking the whole building
for grievances against two men. Now, take
work and fitting and has nothing to do with
the building trades or the construction of
building. If there had been any objections to
Mr.. Bruschke the union people should have
protested In the start against the management
of this building letting out contracts to him,
but they never did, and although he has eight
contracts they waited until this late day and
ordered q general strike on the building.

THE PAINTERS STRIKE.
President Rose Says the Master
Painters List Is More Than
Half False

The union painters yesterday were much
surprised upon seeing the list of members
published by the Master Painters Associ-
alton as being opposed to the unions 8
working card. Committees were Sc mt out
to personally investigate every shop and
learn who are the enemies of the union
Last night President Rose of the Painters
Union said:
President Black of the Master Painters Asso-
citation published list of bosses who he said
are pledged against the card. The list is false
with few exceptions. The article the bosses
signed was supposed by them 10 be an agree
ment relative to q scale of prices for materials
That Is, that the wholesalers should be charged
one price and the retailers another. Many
who signed are indignant that they ehould
have been SO grossly deceived as to the use to
which their names were put
J. J. Cooney, B. Bradley, j. w. Luney and
others are particularly indignant, and some
have sent letters to that effect to the union.
Now this is the list of our friends whose names
were improperly used in Blacks list:

MR.. kERNS' POSITION.
The Contracting Carpenter Says
He Is Neutral Upon the Oues-
ton of Trades Unions

ton of Trades Unions.
F. W. Kerns. one of the contracting car
penters on the Parrott building, states
that his position toward the strike has
been misunderstood. His carpenters are
all union men, and when he learned that
the building was to be struck he simply
said that he would let his men Withdraw,
because he knew they would do so whether
he gave his consent or not. He will not
endeayor to resume work for while, be-
cause he is ahead of his work to great
extent, and if there should be any un-
avoidable delay he could no doubt secure
an extension of time.
Mr.. Kerns cond emns the strike upon the
building and says that many of the men
who walked out have been actually de-
pendent upon the work on the structure
to keep them from want during the dull
times of the winter. He further condemns
the order to strike the building because so
many friendly contractors who employ
only union men are harmed for griev-
ance against two men in such large es-
tablishment- He added, $50 far as my
position toward the unions is concerned, I
will say am neither for nor against the
trades unions"

Otto Kahn, q waiter, has got himself
into serious trouble by "capping" around

O'Keeffe was having a conversation with
Hill and TAFT prior to the cases being

Hill and TAFT not to employ O'keeffe, but
another attorney. mentioning his name.
O'Keeffe at once drew Judge Conlan's at

Seal'd was the tomb where the Redeemer lay,
Shrouded in gloom the world in se nee slept:
Softly the dew fell on each leaf and spray,
Celestial tears that mourning angels wept.
Far In the east, upon the hem Of night
Trembles the dawn and gilds the shadows drear
When through the air, on wings of radiant light,
sweeping TO earth, the seraphim appear.
Back from the tomb the sullen atone is rolld
Burst are the bars, the binding chains riven,
Nanquish'd the grave, the arms OF death unfold,
Yielding to life The Lord of earth and heaven,
Shout! ransOmed souls, the glorious work is done,
Join in the hymn angelic voices sing

for we have had q continuously high

but did protection increase home con-

are still based on the export prices,
and will be SO long as we have q sur

long as our superior soil and climate

It is q well-estsblished fact that
under our tariff system farmers pay 80
per cent. of the National revenues,
while owning but 20 per cent. OF the
National assets, and In addition to this
they pay at least 05 to the protected
monopolles for the privilege Of putting
81 into Uncle Sans rat-hole of treas
ury. These facts alone are amply suf-
ficlent to account for the farmers pow
erty, even where he is not paying rent
in the form of interest on valuation
of 800 or $50 per acre on land with an
earning capacity for only $5 per acre
as principal and so cents as rent.
What the Western farmer needs pro-
lection against is not foreign pauper
labor, but against his own political su-
perstitions that induce him to vote
away his birthright Of freedom Of pro-
duction and trade. If there Is any
cheaper or more underpsid labor on
earth, considering It's effectiveness,
than that of the average Western
farmer, do not know il, nor can any
one prove It's existence, yet this patient,

Farmers and the Tariff.

EDITOR ADvOCATE:--In your issue
Of December 2, In the editorial article
entitled, DISCRIMINATION Against

fatal disadvantage to farmers Of having
to sell in q free trade market and buy

close by saying: "And now, when
they ask equal protection Of the laws,
they are denounced as socialists and

equal protection Of the law In this
mstterP Ia not the contrary the fact,

note the rise Of wire and cut nails from

to the flag and It's gallant old de-
tenders than are the people of Kansas,
and none more willing to show them
that regard due them. But 80 sppsr-
