NEWS FROM THE NORTH
Dawson Filled With Idle Men-It Is
No Place for a Poor Man

SEATTLE. Aug. 1.-Most Of todays ar
rivals on the Discovery were traders who
went in early this spring with small out
fits which they disposed of at a good
profit 1t is predicted that about 500 Of
these traders will soon be on their way out
after new stocks. aH
NO river boats had arrived at Dawson
from st. Michael for some time and the
people were becoming apprehensive that
lower river navigation was about over for
the season.
The conditions at Dawson have under
gone no changes since the last advices from
there. The situation of the Idle men. of
which there is a great number, is becom-
ing matter Of serious import. Most of
them have no means and are unable to ee,
employment in Dawson or at the mines.
Some have about exhausted the small store
Of supplies they took in and are unable TO
do any prospecting. A great exodus of this
class will soon begin. 1t is generally OBJ
served that the vicinity of Dawson is no
place for poor man, and that the only
ones having any business there are men
with capital.

Gompers on Labor

Labor, spoke on the effect Of annexation at
the meeting Of the Central Labor Union
last night. Mr.. Gompers said:
whether we annex the Philippines or
not, the end of the war will see the country
grander. greater and more glorious than
ever. But with this new destiny of the
United States there are great many
things to guard against.
II am opposed to slave labor. We are all
opposed to 1t, and when the colonies are
annexed the same conditions regarding
contract and slave labor should pertain
there as here.
I'm the Philippines the contract labor
laws should be kept very stringent. we
don't know how the supreme court NAV
interpret these laws, but we should give
to the laws in the colonies the spirit of
freedom. No slave labor in the Philip
pines or Hawaii. (Cheers.) The people
should breathe the same spirit as here"
