WORKING MEN FOR WOMAN'S
BALLOT.
published by Request }

At the National American Woman
Suffrage Convention just held in Grand
Rapids, the following letter was read
from Samuel GomperS, President of the
American Federation of Labor:
The American Federation Of Labor,
at every convention where the subject
was brought up and discussed, has I'M
falteringly declared for equal legal,
political and economic rights for wo-
men. At the convention held at De-
troit some thirteen years ago, a resolu-
ton to that effect was unanimously
adopted. A petition to Congress for
the submission of a institutional
amendment enfranchising women was
circulated among our various union,
and within two months it received
nearly 100000 signatures and endorse
ments.
AT the Kansas City convention last
December, the question of woman 5
work was discussed, and the following
declaration unanimously adopted:
In view of the awful condition I'M
der which woman is compelled to TOLL
this, the eighteenth annual convention
OF the American Federation of Labor,
strongly urges the more general forma-
ton of trade unions of wage-w orkins
women, to the end that they may sci
entifically and permanently abolish the
terrible evils accompanying their weak
ened, because unorganized, state; and
we emphatically reiterate the trade
unions demand that woman receive
equal compensation for equal service
performed"
You will see that there ought to be
no question as to the attitude of the
organized labor movement on this sub
ject, notwithstanding the designing
Misrepresentation of enemies of our
cause, who seek to place our movement
in a false light.
Let me say, too, that the declaration
just quoted is not for compliment mere
ly, for members of many of our organ
izations have been involved in long and
sacrificing contests in order to secure
to women equal pay for equal work.
Please convey fraternal greetings to
our friends who will meet at Grand
Rapids.
With kindest regard, and trusting
that the convention may be productive
CT great good, l am
Very truly yours,
SAMUEL GOMPERS,
President American Federation OF
Labor.

TO CALL GOMEZ TO ACCOUNT
Executive Committee Cuban Assembly In

ed-Gen. BreckinridSe on an
Inspection Tour.

HAVANA, February SIT is reported
that at Sec ct meeting of the executive
committee of the Cuban assembly it was
decided that the committee will not vel
come Gen. Maxine Gomez to this city, that
1t VIII not be present when he arrives in
Havana, and, further, that if Gen. Gomez
does not go before the committee and ex-
plain his reasons for accepting the PROPOSE
tions of Robert P. Porter, the representa-
tive of President Mckinley, without con-
suiting the committee, he will be officially
notified, upon the part of the committee to
appear before 1t and explain his conduct.
Brig. Gen. Breckenridge, inspector general
of the United States army, went to Pinar
del Rio today.
AT yesterdays inspection of the 10th
Regiment Gen. Breckenridge called atten-
uOn TO the effect of abSenteeiSm upon the
part OF officers, resulting in the regiment
being under-officered or officered by volun-
teers, who have only a temporary interest
in the service.
Gen Breckinrdges purpose in the pres
ent inspection work is to make an exam
ination of the soldiers food clothing and
tenting, comparing the effect of the same
upon the health and discipline of the troops.
and to see In what manner the condition of
the soldiers can be improved under the
present tropical conditions. He has sent
series OF question on army conditions to 800
company commanders III Cuba.
The system of company bookkeeping, ii is
already recognized, must be bettered.

ERCY LOST ON THEM
An Army officers Advice Regarding the
Treatment of the Pilipinos
Declares That More Men Are Sacrific-
ed Through TempOrizlng.T Than
by Severity.

There is an interesting unanimity of
opinion among both army and navy officers
in the two departments as to the need of
an Immediately aggressive campaign on the
part of the American forces In the Phi ip-
pines. Without exception the hope is ex-
pressed that General Otis win be given a
free hand to follow up the blow against the
Filpinos who have violated the truce and
that he will be enabled to give them salu-
tary chastisement while the memory of
their Saturday defeat is still fresh in mind.
Cannot Understand FOrbeurance.
One officer who has done as much Indian
campaigning as almost any man in the de-
partment said today, in discussing the stu
alton:
Every day that is lost in following up
the blow at the insurgents means an added
ten men to the American death list when
the final summing up of the Philippine sit
uation is made. The Philippine natives are
like all half-savage people. They are gov
erned in their own aggression by nothing
but fear of being whipped by their enemy,
and they cannot understand any forbear-
ance on the part of an opponent except on
the theory that he is afraid of them We
have had the same thing for thirty years
IN our own Indian wars. The British have
had the same thing in India and Africa
and so have all the Caucasian races wher-
ri l.
lied ueoples
I'VE lost more men and killed more In
dians in the west through the mild, tenn
porZlng and supposedly humane policy of
successive administrations than we would
ever have lost in a few sharp sound thrash
ings administered in successive allopathic
doses just to show the untutored savage
that we meant business and would whip
him first and treat him right afterward
Indians Encouraged by Tolerance.
When the government abandoned the old
Milk river route, as it was called through
the northern Sioux country and evacuated
the lands to the Indians by treaty it really
pIecipitated the whole Of the great Sioux
uprising that included the Custer massacre.
This may sound harsh and prejudiced but
the tact was that in spite of the treaty
and pow vows the Indians thought we
withdrew from their country because We
were afraid of them, and they went to
burning abandoned military stations and
as there was nobody there to stop them
them or not they went from that to the
warpath and commenced wiping out set
Elements outside their concession.
The case Is just the same today in the
Philippines. 1t is unfortunate for them
that the natives can't understand humane
policy on the part of this government or
that We intend TO deal honestly with them.
Forbearance on our part now simply means
to them that we are. afraid of them and
the quicker we whip them thoroughly and
disabuse their minds, the sooner we can
enter on an era of peaceful reconstruc-
tion and reform"

Comparatively Few Callers on the
President.
BIS APPEARANCE MUCH IMPROVED
Indian Chiefs Make an Impressive
Spectacle.
DECORATING THE MANSION

Like the calm that usually succeeds a
storm the day at the White House was an
unusually quiet one, so far as callers were
concerned, wnen compared to the many
preceding it. There was no dimlnulon OF
work on the Presidents part, because he
is always the busiest of busy men, but its
prosecution was made more satisfactory
because it was not SO constantly inter-
rupted. Senator Allison called early, but
his visit was bril- Senator Cul ON was also
a caller of a few minutes. Senator Lodge
also called in relation to the Presidents
approaching visit to Massachusetts and
Senator Chiffon of Texas had a brief in
terview about some state affairs. Half dozen
representatives were among the morning
callers, but their business was merely of a
character interesting to their constituents.
Those who saw the President remarked
upon the great improvement noticeable in
him in the last two or three days. He got
some excellent tonic yesterday evening in
the shape of lungs full of bracing fresh air.
With Mrs. Mckinley for his sole companion
the President handled the reins over his
pair of bays. who We're attached to single
cutter sleigh, and a good, long, brtsk ride
was enjoyed. More of this sort of thing
SO his friends declare win make a new
man of him.
