HAVE MANY GRIEVANCES
British Trades Union Congress Discusses
Wrongs of Labore1s.
Would Restrict Child Labor and De-
clares Against Injustice of
Laws as to Strikers.

BIRMINGHAM, Eng, September 9.-The
trades union congress today adopted a
resolution recommending all societies affil-
lated with the congress to by all means
possible restrict or abolish overtime in their
respective trades.
The following resolution was then passed
That this congress is of opinion that the
law as it relates 10 intiiniGat;ons during
strikes or lcckoutS is unfair and unjust, as
1t Furnishes by fines or Imprisonment any
worker judged guilty of dssaGlting or pre-
venting through fear another worker from
working, while allowing employers to black
Est workers or to discharge or obtain the
discharge of workers who may have been
on strike or locked cut, ;hus intimidating
workers from pursuing their lawful employ
ment.'
The parliamentary committee of the con-
sress was instructed TO at once move to eX-
terd the law in the requisite direction.
The employment of children in factories
gave rise to considerable discussion. The
National Union of Gas Workers and Cen
eral Laborers introduced the following
resolution on the subject:
considering that the employment OF
Children in factories and workshops and
On board river and canal craft. and their
consequent exploitation by the capitalists.
Is injurious to the children, unjust to their
parents and a crime against the human
race; considering the infamous fact that
the children of the working class have
lot the same opportunities Of tn" class
room and the play ground the children
of the capitalist class; considering that
in this connection Great Britain is behind
other countries; considering that unhappy
parents. under an unhappy system, are
actually willing. and even anxious. to have
II cir children torn from school and hurled
into the factory-this congress IS Of an
opinion that the time has come fer Gil eat
Britain to cease building its empire on
children's hearts. to give up coming its
wealth out OF children's wasted lives, ard
hereby instructs the parliamentary COM
mittee to demand as temporary minimum
from the government:
''(a) The abolition of child labor un Ter
the age of fifteen: tb) of all night iabor
under the age of eighteen"
This resolution was opposed by the dele
gates who represented the textile workers.
They declared that if the age 1T which
child could be legally employed was raised
to fifteen years, the children would never
become efficient at their trades.

THIRD TICKET IN OHIO.
Republicans Believe Thnt II Will
Operate to Their benefit

Operate to Their Dencnt.
Prominent Ohio politicians at the ma
t,onal capital of opinion that repub,i-
cat1 prospects in the coming Ohio CAM
paign will not be unfavorably affected by
the nomination of gold democratic ticket
IL that state. On the contrary, it is said
the republican anagers hope to derive
benefit from this action OF the gold DEM
ocIats, if anything comes out of the prop
ostion.
EX-Representative Thompson of Ohio is
one CT those who hold this opinion. Judge
Thompson is one of the best posted poll
ticians N the state, and although he is in
Washington lor the present, he keeps in
constant communications with the republi-
can managers m the statp.
Il think the condition this year will be
just as it was last fall," said Judge Thomp-
SoE to a Star reporter today. ''Somc DEM
ocrats viii go with the gold ticket others
will stuck to the regular organization and
some VII vote with the republicans. At
any rate. however, there is no probability
OF the democrats winning, and the NOM
ination of the gold ticket does not help the
democrats nor hurt the republicans.
Continuing, Judge Thompson explained
in what respect the present situation re-
sembes the condition existing last fall.
In the national campaign last year, he
said there We're three tickets, the gold
democrats, the regular democrats and the
republicans Many gold. democrats found
themselves in embarrassing position at
first They were confronted with the
choice of voting with their lifelong enc
mics, the republicans, or with the silver
populist combinations.
In This dilemma some Of them, in prefer
ence to remaining inactive, would have
gone with the regular democratic organiza-
tion, although against their will. When
the Palmer and Buckper ticket was placed
in the field they saw a way out and the
votes which the silver ticket would other
wise have received went to Palmer and
Buckner, reducing the regular democratic
strength to tnat extent and not affecting
the republicans one way Or the other di-
rectly.
Other democrats, he said, realizing the
utter inutility of the gold democrat ticket
for practical purposes and approaching the
gravity of the situation confronting the
country, did not waste their votes on the
Palmer and Buckper combination, but
voted the republican ticket straightout.
The presence in the field of three tickets
this fall presents the same conditions, he
said, with the additional element of dis
couragement, however, for the democrats
of their failure to fuse with the populists.

Vessel Which Was Reported Lost Re-
turns to Port.
PORT TOWNSEND, Wash, September
9.-The sternwheel steamer Eugene, re-
ported days ago as deserted and rapidly
going to pieces in Alert bay, created some
surprise by steaming into port in bad con-
dit!on. but far from being a wreck.
When she started from Comox, B. c., to
st. Michaers. she encountered rough
weather, and had to seek shelter in Alert
bay. AS the Eugene had failed to clear at
British Columbia ports for ST. Michaers.
in violation of the customs regulations, an
attempt was made to seize her while in
their waters. and she was chased forty
miles by the British customs officers in a
tug. 1t is possible that the steamer NAV
be seized by customs officers here, as she
was not cleared at an American port when
she sailed for the north ten days ago.
