WILL FIGHr LABOR UNIONS

WILL FIGHT LABOR UNIONS
Chicago architects and contractors
have taken steps TO strike at the root
of the evils arising from sympathetic
strikes and the arbitrary rules of the
labor unions. Employers assert that
they will make the matter an Issue in
municipal elections. They will
brand the unions as trusts of the
most barefaced description and fight
them IN the courts on the ground of
unconStitutiOnalitv. No contracts
are being made for construction i'm
1900, and the prediction is made that
utter idleneSS on the part of employ
er and employee viii be the state of
affairs after January |. The con
tractors declare the working men are
at the mercy of ruthless set of or
ganizerS who have woven the great
net work of associations for their own
personal ACKNOWLEDGEMENT.
y huge trust in which to combine
the rubber, bicycle. vehicle and au-

Good Advice.
81 do not wonder that the boys
and young men do not make more
success in life" county farmer was
heard to remark. ''In my young days
horse and saddle was luxury.
but nowadays every boy and young
man III the country must have II
horse and buggy and ali the modern
equipments. The $50 he pays for
the buggy would buy five good steer
calves and in two years these calves
would be worth $3.50. The time and
money he spends during the two
years would make the feed for the
five steers and buy AS many more.
In four years he would have 5000 to
$1,000 in stock instead of wornout
buggy and set of bad habits" There
is Il suggestion in this to the fellow
who is willing to take it.-Warren
Register.

FIGHT WITH ROBBERS
SIX BOLD CHICAGO HIGHWAYMEN
AGAINST TWO POLICEMEN.
One of the Latter Killed and the
Other Severely WOunded-StOre-
keeper and Clerk Held Up.

CHICAGO, Jan. Six hghwaymen, who
were endeaVoring to make their escape, after
having held up the dry goods store of H. c.
T. Boorman, at No. 832 Twenty-first street,
engaged in a shooting affray with Policemen
Edward Wallner and John McCauley this
evening and both were wounded. Wallner
died three hours later in the hospital Nc
Cauley was shot in the arm and hip, but
win recover. When Wallner and McCauley
were called to the scene of the robbery they
started in pursuit of the men. The officers
drew their revolvers, but hesitated about
firing, because of people on the street When
the six robbers reached an alley they ran
behind a fence and opened fire on the officers.
Both policemen ran into the street and re-
turned the shots. Wallner was wounded at
the beginning Of the encounter and McCauley
was left to battle with the men alone After
firing more than dozen shots at the officers
the six men turned and ran up the alley. Nc
Cauley followed them and received a second
wound He was then forced to give up the
chase and the robbers escaped.
Boorman and his clerks were alone in the
store when five of the robbers entered, one
remaining on guard. They robbed Boorman
of $35 and a watch, and took watch and
s. from his clerk. There is no clew to their
identity

CONCESSION T ANTIAGo.
Customs Receipts May Remain There
-Mood,s Depnrfure.

SANTIAGO DE CUBA, Jan. 5.-A dispatch
was received from Havana to-day saying
that the customs receipts may remain at
Santiago. The effects of this information
are on the whole good, especially so far as
the laborers are concerned, for prior to the
issuance of the concentration order, now
suspended, numerous warrants had been is
sued for necessary improvements. Senior
Bacardi, the mayor has assured the laborers
that all works now in progress will go on
and therefore there is not likely to be any
immediate trouble But educated Cubans
the members of the San Carlos Club. the
judges Of the Supreme Court the local news
papers, and Cuban and foreign merchants
here agree that the situation is substantially
unchanged and that any such project as
was originally outlined simply means taxa
ton without representation. Their argu-
ment is that General Brooke residing at
Havana. will always be antagonistic to the
interests of the province of Santiago and
likely to object to necessary expenditure in
this section. Prominent Cubans emphatical-
ly assert that if a Cuban government should
assume to issue such an order-concen-
trating the customs receipts at Havana
civil war would break out Immediately. AS
it is, however, everything is quiet and or
utIly, III anticipation Ol ldNOTdDle results
from Gen. Leonard Woods representations
at Washington. 1t is hoped that a civil gov
ernment may be established in every
province, distinct from the rule Of the gov
ernor general, who should be merely the
military chief of the island
General Wood, accompanied by his aid de
camp Lieutenant Hanna and DR.. Castillo
representing the merchants and business
men of this city, left here for New York
to-day on board the United States transport
Mississippi. They were accorded an en-
thusiastic ovation on their departure.
AS the Mississippi was leaving she ran
into the remaining portions of the United
States collier Merrimac, sunk by Naval
Constructor Richmond p. Hobson, project
ing above the water, and carried away COM
pIetely the smokestack. The transport came
to anchor for half an hour, but it was found
that she had received no damage.

spaniards Now Treating with Insurg-
ers-AIIeged Atrocities.

HONG-KONG, Jan. 5.-Leading repre-
sentatives of the Filipino Junto in Hong
Kong, in the course of an interview with
the correspondent of the Associated Press
to-day, declared that the serious crisis in
the Philippines is due to what they desig-
nate as overt, unfair treatment of the. Fill
pinos by the United States" TheV said
that, despite the known fact that the whole
of the Visayas group was in possession of
the Filipino forces, General Otis was or
dered to take possession of the entire archi-
pelago and dispatched troops and war ships
to the southern Visayas. The Filipinos ac-
cording to the Junto representatives, are de-
termined to prevent the landing of the
Americans at Iloilo, and may, as a last re-
sort, destroy the city for strategicaI pur-
poses.
The Junto insists that rupture OF the
friendly relations now existing between
'the Filipino national government and the
American executive is imminent, and that
hostilities are preaable unless what they
characterize as the unreasonable, unfair
and overbearing policy of the Americans" is
modified. They say the Fiipinos would
deeply regret such rupture, but would ac-
cept it as inevitable
In concluding the interview the spokes-
man of the Junto representatives said: 1.-The
